With debug option "sleep inside atomic section checking" enabled we get the below WARN_ON during a PR KVM boot. This is because upstream now have PREEMPT_COUNT enabled even if we have preempt disabled. Fix the warning by adding preempt_disable/enable around floating point and altivec enable.

The dcbtls instruction is able to lock data inside the L1 cache. We don't want to give the guest actual access to hardware cache locks, as that could influence other VMs on the same system. But we can tell the guest that its locking attempt failed. By implementing the instruction we at least don't give the guest a program exception which it definitely does not expect.

I noticed on some of my systems that page fault tracing doesn't work: cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo 1 > events/exceptions/enable cat trace; # nothing shows up I eventually traced it down to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. At least in a KVM VM, enabling that option breaks page fault tracing, and disabling fixes it. I tried on some old kernels and this does not appear to be a regression: it never worked. There are two page-fault entry functions today. One when tracing is on and another when it is off. The KVM code calls do_page_fault() directly instead of calling the traced version: > dotraplinkage void __kprobes > do_async_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long > error_code) > { > enum ctx_state prev_state; > > switch (kvm_read_and_reset_pf_reason()) { > default: > do_page_fault(regs, error_code); > break; > case KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_NOT_PRESENT: I'm also having problems with the page fault tracing on bare metal (same symptom of no trace output). I'm unsure if it's related. Steven had an alternative to this which has zero overhead when tracing is off where this includes the standard noops even when tracing is disabled. I'm unconvinced that the extra complexity of his apporach: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140508194508.561ed220@gandalf.local.home is worth it, expecially considering that the KVM code is already making page fault entry slower here. This solution is dirt-simple.

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between setting CR0.PE and reloading CS. And CS.DPL is also not equal to the CPL for conforming code segments. However, SS.DPL *is* always equal to the CPL except for the weird case of SYSRET on AMD processors, which sets SS.DPL=SS.RPL from the value in the STAR MSR, but force CPL=3 (Intel instead forces SS.DPL=SS.RPL=CPL=3). So this patch: - modifies SVM to update the CPL from SS.DPL rather than CS.RPL; the above case with SYSRET is not broken further, and the way to fix it would be to pass the CPL to userspace and back - modifies VMX to always return the CPL from SS.DPL (except forcing it to 0 if we are emulating real mode via vm86 mode; in vm86 mode all DPLs have to be 3, but real mode does allow privileged instructions). It also removes the CPL cache, which becomes a duplicate of the SS access rights cache. This fixes doing KVM_IOCTL_SET_SREGS exactly after setting CR0.PE=1 but before CS has been reloaded.

Paolo Bonzini authored
During task switch, all of CS.DPL, CS.RPL, SS.DPL must match (in addition to all the other requirements) and will be the new CPL. So far this worked by carefully setting the CS selector and flag before doing the task switch; setting CS.selector will already change the CPL. However, this will not work once we get the CPL from SS.DPL, because then you will have to set the full segment descriptor cache to change the CPL. ctxt->ops->cpl(ctxt) will then return the old CPL during the task switch, and the check that SS.DPL == CPL will fail. Temporarily assume that the CPL comes from CS.RPL during task switch to a protected-mode task. This is the same approach used in QEMU's emulation code, which (until version 2.0) manually tracks the CPL. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140516' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next 1. Correct locking for lazy storage key handling A test loop with multiple CPUs triggered a race in the lazy storage key handling as introduced by commit 934bc131 (KVM: s390: Allow skeys to be enabled for the current process). This race should not happen with Linux guests, but let's fix it anyway. Patch touches !/kvm/ code, but is from the s390 maintainer. 2. Better handling of broken guests If we detect a program check loop we stop the guest instead of wasting CPU cycles. 3. Better handling on MVPG emulation The move page handling is improved to be architecturally correct. 3. Trace point rework Let's rework the kvm trace points to have a common header file (for later perf usage) and provided a table based instruction decoder. 4. Interpretive execution of SIGP external call Let the hardware handle most cases of SIGP external call (IPI) and wire up the fixup code for the corner cases. 5. Initial preparations for the IBC facility Prepare the code to handle instruction blocking

If the sigp interpretation facility is installed, most SIGP EXTERNAL CALL operations will be interpreted instead of intercepted. A partial execution interception will occurr at the sending cpu only if the target cpu is in the wait state ("W" bit in the cpuflags set). Instruction interception will only happen in error cases (e.g. cpu addr invalid). As a sending cpu might set the external call interrupt pending flags at the target cpu at every point in time, we can't handle this kind of interrupt using our kvm interrupt injection mechanism. The injection will be done automatically by the SIE when preparing the start of the target cpu.

Treat monitor and mwait instructions as nop, which is architecturally correct (but inefficient) behavior. We do this to prevent misbehaving guests (e.g. OS X <= 10.7) from crashing after they fail to check for monitor/mwait availability via cpuid. Since mwait-based idle loops relying on these nop-emulated instructions would keep the host CPU pegged at 100%, do NOT advertise their presence via cpuid, to prevent compliant guests from using them inadvertently.

It seems that it's easy to implement the EOI assist on top of the PV EOI feature: simply convert the page address to the format expected by PV EOI. Notes: -"No EOI required" is set only if interrupt injected is edge triggered; this is true because level interrupts are going through IOAPIC which disables PV EOI. In any case, if guest triggers EOI the bit will get cleared on exit. -For migration, set of HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE sets KVM_PV_EOI_EN internally, so restoring HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE seems sufficient In any case, bit is cleared on exit so worst case it's never re-enabled -no handling of PV EOI data is performed at HV_X64_MSR_EOI write; HV_X64_MSR_EOI is a separate optimization - it's an X2APIC replacement that lets you do EOI with an MSR and not IO.

Usually this indicates a programming error in the guest OS. Lets detect such situations and go to userspace. We will provide a QEMU patch that sets the guest in panicked/crashed state to avoid wasting CPU cycles. 2.2 Resend external interrupts back to the guest if the HW could not do it. -

The external interrupt interception can only occur in rare cases, e.g. when the PSW of the interrupt handler has a bad value. The old handler for this interception simply ignored these events (except for increasing the exit_external_interrupt counter), but for proper operation we either have to inject the interrupts manually or we should drop to userspace in case of errors.

A single 8-bit or 16-bit or 32-bit data item is fetched from 'pio_data' (depending on 'size'), and the value is included in the trace record ('val').

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec) when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks. Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides do not do rcu lockdep at all). Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods. Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation). (Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected, changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8% probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch. The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points). Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140429' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next 1. Guest handling fixes The handling of MVPG, PFMF and Test Block is fixed to better follow the architecture. None of these fixes is critical for any current Linux guests, but let's play safe. 2. Optimization for single CPU guests We can enable the IBS facility if only one VCPU is running (!STOPPED state). We also enable this optimization for guest > 1 VCPU as soon as all but one VCPU is in stopped state. Thus will help guests that have tools like cpuplugd (from s390-utils) that do dynamic offline/ online of CPUs. 3.
