Considering the fact that the pae_root shadow is not needed when tdp is in use, skip the pae_root shadow page allocation to allow mmu creation even not being able to obtain memory from DMA32 zone when particular cgroup cpuset.mems or mempolicy control is applied. Signed-off-by:

mmu_set_spte() flushes remote tlbs for drop_parent_pte/drop_spte() and set_spte() separately. This may introduce redundant flush. This patch is to combine these flushes and check flush request after calling set_spte(). Signed-off-by:

The host's FS.base and GS.base rarely change, e.g. ~0.1% of host/guest swaps on my system. Cache the last value written to the VMCS and skip the VMWRITE to the associated VMCS fields when loading host state if the value hasn't changed since the last VMWRITE. Signed-off-by:

On a 64-bit host, FS.sel and GS.sel are all but guaranteed to be 0, which in turn means they'll rarely change. Skip the VMWRITE for the associated VMCS fields when loading host state if the selector hasn't changed since the last VMWRITE. Signed-off-by:

The HOST_{FS,GS}_BASE fields are guaranteed to be written prior to VMENTER, by way of vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest(). Initialize the fields to zero for 64-bit kernels instead of pulling the base values from their respective MSRs. In addition to eliminating two RDMSRs, vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() can safely assume the initial value of the fields is zero in all cases. Signed-off-by: -

Make host_state a property of a loaded_vmcs so that it can be used as a cache of the VMCS fields, e.g. to lazily VMWRITE the corresponding VMCS field. Treating host_state as a cache does not work if it's not VMCS specific as the cache would become incoherent when switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02. Move vmcs_host_cr3 and vmcs_host_cr4 into host_state. Explicitly zero out host_state when allocating a new VMCS for a loaded_vmcs. Unlike the pre-existing vmcs_host_cr{3,4} usage, the segment information is not guaranteed to be (re)initialized when running a new nested VMCS, e.g. HOST_FS_BASE is not written in vmx_set_constant_host_state().

Remove fs_reload_needed and gs_ldt_reload_needed from host_state and instead compute whether we need to reload various state at the time we actually do the reload. The state that is tracked by the *_reload_needed variables is not any more volatile than the trackers themselves. Signed-off-by:

prepare_vmcs02() has an odd comment that says certain fields are "not in vmcs02". AFAICT the intent of the comment is to document that various VMCS fields are not handled by prepare_vmcs02(), e.g. HOST_{FS,GS}_{BASE,SELECTOR}. While technically true, the comment is misleading, e.g. it can lead the reader to think that KVM never writes those fields to vmcs02. Remove the comment altogether as the handling of FS and GS is not specific to nested VMX, and GUEST_PML_INDEX has been written by prepare_vmcs02() since commit "4e59516a (kvm: vmx: ensure VMCS is current while enabling PML)" Signed-off-by: -

Now that the vmx_load_host_state() wrapper is gone, i.e. the only time we call the core functions is when we're actually about to switch between guest/host, rename the functions that handle lazy state switching to vmx_prepare_switch_to_{guest,host}_state() to better document the full extent of their functionality.

When lazy save/restore of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was introduced[1], the MSR was intercepted in all modes and was only restored for the host when the guest is in 64-bit mode. So at the time, going through the full host restore prior to accessing MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was necessary to load host state and was not a significant waste of cycles. Later, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE interception was disabled for a 64-bit guest[2], and then unconditionally saved/restored for the host[3]. As a result, loading full host state is overkill for accesses to MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, and completely unnecessary when the guest is not in 64-bit mode. Add a dedicated utility to read/write the guest's MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE (outside of the save/restore flow) to minimize the overhead incurred when accessing the MSR. When setting EFER, only decache the MSR if the new EFER will disable long mode. Removing out-of-band usage of vmx_load_host_state() also eliminates, or at least reduces, potential corner cases in its usage, which in turn will (hopefuly) make it easier to reason about future changes to the save/restore flow, e.g. optimization of saving host state.

Using 'struct loaded_vmcs*' to track whether the CPU registers contain host or guest state kills two birds with one stone. 1. The (effective) boolean host_state.loaded is poorly named. It does not track whether or not host state is loaded into the CPU registers (which most readers would expect), but rather tracks if host state has been saved AND guest state is loaded. 2. Using a loaded_vmcs pointer provides a more robust framework for the optimized guest/host state switching, especially when consideration per-VMCS enhancements. To that end, WARN_ONCE if we try to switch to host state with a different VMCS than was last used to save host state. Resolve an occurrence of the new WARN by setting loaded_vmcs after the call to vmx_vcpu_put() in vmx_switch_vmcs(). Signed-off-by: -

Use local variables in vmx_save_host_state() to temporarily track the selector and base values for FS and GS, and reorganize the code so that the 64-bit vs 32-bit portions are contained within a single #ifdef. This refactoring paves the way for future patches to modify the updating of VMCS state with minimal changes to the code, and (hopefully) simplifies resolving a likely conflict with another in-flight patch[1] by being the whipping boy for future patches.

We are currently cutting hva_to_pfn_fast short if we do not want an immediate exit, which is represented by !async && !atomic. However, this is unnecessary, and __get_user_pages_fast is *much* faster because the regular get_user_pages takes pmd_lock/pte_lock. In fact, when many CPUs take a nested vmexit at the same time the contention on those locks is visible, and this patch removes about 25% (compared to 4.18) from vmexit.flat on a 16 vCPU nested guest.

Register tlb_remote_flush callback for vmx when hyperv capability of nested guest mapping flush is detected. The interface can help to reduce overhead when flush ept table among vcpus for nested VM. The tradition way is to send IPIs to all affected vcpus and executes INVEPT on each vcpus. It will trigger several vmexits for IPI and INVEPT emulation. Hyper-V provides such hypercall to do flush for all vcpus and call the hypercall when all ept table pointers of single VM are same. Signed-off-by:

This needs a minor bug fix. The updated patch is as follows.

When the guest indicates that the TLB doesn't need to be flushed in a CR3 switch, we can also skip resyncing the shadow page tables since an out-of-sync shadow page table is equivalent to an out-of-sync TLB. Signed-off-by:

When PCIDs are enabled, the MSb of the source operand for a MOV-to-CR3 instruction indicates that the TLB doesn't need to be flushed.

Use the fast CR3 switch mechanism to locklessly change the MMU root page when switching between L1 and L2. The switch from L2 to L1 should always go through the fast path, while the switch from L1 to L2 should go through the fast path if L1's CR3/EPTP for L2 hasn't changed since the last time.

Junaid Shahid authored
This generalizes the lockless CR3 switch path to be able to work across different MMU modes (e.g. nested vs non-nested) by checking that the expected page role of the new root page matches the page role of the previously stored root page in addition to checking that the new CR3 matches the previous CR3. Furthermore, instead of loading the hardware CR3 in fast_cr3_switch(), it is now done in vcpu_enter_guest(), as by that time the MMU context would be up-to-date with the VCPU mode. Signed-off-by:

When using shadow paging, a CR3 switch in the guest results in a VM Exit. In the common case, that VM exit doesn't require much processing by KVM. However, it does acquire the MMU lock, which can start showing signs of contention under some workloads even on a 2 VCPU VM when the guest is using KPTI. Therefore, we add a fast path that avoids acquiring the MMU lock in the most common cases e.g. when switching back and forth between the kernel and user mode CR3s used by KPTI with no guest page table changes in between. For now, this fast path is implemented only for 64-bit guests and hosts to avoid the handling of PDPTEs, but it can be extended later to 32-bit guests and/or hosts as well. Signed-off-by:
