The hrtimer used to emulate the VMX-preemption timer must be pinned to the same logical processor as the vCPU thread to be interrupted if we want to have any hope of adhering to the architectural specification of the VMX-preemption timer. Even with this change, the emulated VMX-preemption timer VM-exit occasionally arrives too late. Signed-off-by:

The PINNED bit is ignored by hrtimer_init. It is only considered when starting the timer. When the hrtimer isn't pinned to the same logical processor as the vCPU thread to be interrupted, the emulated VMX-preemption timer often fails to adhere to the architectural specification.

This patch implements a fast path for emulation of writes to the TSCDEADLINE MSR. Besides shortcutting various housekeeping tasks in the vCPU loop, the fast path can also deliver the timer interrupt directly without going through KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER because it runs in vCPU context. Tested-by:

While optimizing posted-interrupt delivery especially for the timer fastpath scenario, I measured kvm_x86_ops.deliver_posted_interrupt() to introduce substantial latency because the processor has to perform all vmentry tasks, ack the posted interrupt notification vector, read the posted-interrupt descriptor etc. This is not only slow, it is also unnecessary when delivering an interrupt to the current CPU (as is the case for the LAPIC timer) because PIR->IRR and IRR->RVI synchronization is already performed on vmentry Therefore skip kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt in this case, and instead do vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() on the EXIT_FASTPATH_REENTER_GUEST fastpath as well.

Use __print_flags() to display the names of VMX flags in VM-Exit traces and strip the flags when printing the basic exit reason, e.g. so that a failed VM-Entry due to invalid guest state gets recorded as "INVALID_STATE FAILED_VMENTRY" instead of "0x80000021".

Introduce generic fastpath handler to handle MSR fastpath, VMX-preemption timer fastpath etc; move it after vmx_complete_interrupts() in order to catch events delivered to the guest, and abort the fast path in later patches. While at it, move the kvm_exit tracepoint so that it is printed for fastpath vmexits as well. There is no observed performance effect for the IPI fastpath after this patch. Tested-by:

Don't propagate GUEST_SYSENTER_* from vmcs02 to vmcs12 on nested VM-Exit as the vmcs12 fields are updated in vmx_set_msr(), and writes to the corresponding MSRs are always intercepted by KVM when running L2. Dropping the propagation was intended to be done in the same commit that added vmcs12 writes in vmx_set_msr()[1], but for reasons unknown was only shuffled around[2][3].

Explicitly truncate the data written to vmcs.SYSENTER_EIP/ESP on WRMSR if the virtual CPU doesn't support 64-bit mode. The SYSENTER address fields in the VMCS are natural width, i.e. bits 63:32 are dropped if the CPU doesn't support Intel 64 architectures. This behavior is visible to the guest after a VM-Exit/VM-Exit roundtrip, e.g. if the guest sets bits 63:32 in the actual MSR. Signed-off-by:

The index returned by kvm_async_pf_gfn_slot() will be removed when an async pf gfn is going to be removed. However kvm_async_pf_gfn_slot() is not reliable in that it can return the last key it loops over even if the gfn is not found in the async gfn array. It should never happen, but it's still better to sanity check against that to make sure no unexpected gfn will be removed. Signed-off-by:

hva_to_pfn_remapped() calls fixup_user_fault(), which has already handled the retry gracefully. Even if "unlocked" is set to true, it means that we've got a VM_FAULT_RETRY inside fixup_user_fault(), however the page fault has already retried and we should have the pfn set correctly. No need to do that again. Signed-off-by:

Forcing the ASYNC_PF_PER_VCPU to be power of two is much easier to be used rather than calling roundup_pow_of_two() from time to time. Do this by adding a BUILD_BUG_ON() inside the hash function. Another point is that generally async pf does not allow concurrency over ASYNC_PF_PER_VCPU after all (see kvm_setup_async_pf()), so it does not make much sense either to have it not a power of two or some of the entries will definitely be wasted.

Change the PSE hugepage handling in walk_addr_generic() to fire on any page level greater than PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL, a.k.a. PG_LEVEL_4K. PSE paging only has two levels, so "== 2" and "> 1" are functionally the same, i.e. this is a nop. A future patch will drop KVM's PT_*_LEVEL enums in favor of the kernel's PG_LEVEL_* enums, at which point "walker->level == PG_LEVEL_2M" is semantically incorrect (though still functionally ok).

Use an enum for passing around the failure code for a failed VM-Enter that results in VM-Exit to provide a level of indirection from the final resting place of the failure code, vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION. The exit qualification field is an unsigned long, e.g. passing around 'u32 exit_qual' throws up red flags as it suggests KVM may be dropping bits when reporting errors to L1. This is a red herring because the only defined failure codes are 0, 2, 3, and 4, i.e. don't come remotely close to overflowing a u32. Setting vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION on entry failure is further complicated by the MSR load list, which returns the (1-based) entry that failed, and the number of MSRs to load is a 32-bit VMCS field. At first blush, it would appear that overflowing a u32 is possible, but the number of MSRs that can be loaded is hardcapped at 4096 (limited by MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC). In other words, there are two completely disparate types of data that eventually get stuffed into vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION, neither of which is an 'unsigned long' in nature. This was presumably the reasoning for switching to 'u32' when the related code was refactored in commit ca0bde28 ("kvm: nVMX: Split VMCS checks from nested_vmx_run()"). Using an enum for the failure code addresses the technically-possible- but-will-never-happen scenario where Intel defines a failure code that doesn't fit in a 32-bit integer. The enum variables and values will either be automatically sized (gcc 5.4 behavior) or be subjected to some combination of truncation. The former case will simply work, while the latter will trigger a compile-time warning unless the compiler is being particularly unhelpful. Separating the failure code from the failed MSR entry allows for disassociating both from vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION, which avoids the conundrum where KVM has to choose between 'u32 exit_qual' and tracking values as 'unsigned long' that have no business being tracked as such. To cement the split, set vmcs12->exit_qualification directly from the entry error code or failed MSR index instead of bouncing through a local variable. Opportunistically rename the variables in load_vmcs12_host_state() and vmx_set_nested_state() to call out that they're ignored, set exit_reason on demand on nested VM-Enter failure, and add a comment in nested_vmx_load_msr() to call out that returning 'i + 1' can't wrap.

Snapshot the TDP level now that it's invariant (SVM) or dependent only on host capabilities and guest CPUID (VMX). This avoids having to call kvm_x86_ops.get_tdp_level() when initializing a TDP MMU and/or calculating the page role, and thus avoids the associated retpoline. Drop the WARN in vmx_get_tdp_level() as updating CPUID while L2 is active is legal, if dodgy. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Separate the "core" TDP level handling from the nested EPT path to make it clear that kvm_x86_ops.get_tdp_level() is used if and only if nested EPT is not in use (kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu() calculates the level from the passed in vmcs12->eptp). Add a WARN_ON() to enforce that the kvm_x86_ops hook is not called for nested EPT. This sets the stage for snapshotting the non-"nested EPT" TDP page level during kvm_cpuid_update() to avoid the retpoline associated with kvm_x86_ops.get_tdp_level() when resetting the MMU, a relatively frequent operation when running a nested guest.

Move CR0 caching into the standard register caching mechanism in order to take advantage of the availability checks provided by regs_avail.

Move CR4 caching into the standard register caching mechanism in order to take advantage of the availability checks provided by regs_avail. This avoids multiple VMREADs and retpolines (when configured) during nested VMX transitions as kvm_read_cr4_bits() is invoked multiple times on each transition, e.g. when stuffing CR0 and CR3. As an added bonus, this eliminates a kvm_x86_ops hook, saves a retpoline on SVM when reading CR4, and squashes the confusing naming discrepancy of "cache_reg" vs. "decache_cr4_guest_bits".

Unconditionally check the validity of the incoming CR3 during nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit to avoid invoking kvm_read_cr3() in the common case where the guest isn't using PAE paging. If vmcs.GUEST_CR3 hasn't yet been cached (common case), kvm_read_cr3() will trigger a VMREAD. The VMREAD (~30 cycles) alone is likely slower than nested_cr3_valid() (~5 cycles if vcpu->arch.maxphyaddr gets a cache hit), and the poor exchange only gets worse when retpolines are enabled as the call to kvm_x86_ops.cache_reg() will incur a retpoline (60+ cycles).

Skip the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier that is triggered on a VMCS switch when running with spectre_v2_user=on/auto if the switch is between two VMCSes in the same guest, i.e. between vmcs01 and vmcs02. The IBPB is intended to prevent one guest from attacking another, which is unnecessary in the nested case as it's the same guest from KVM's perspective. This all but eliminates the overhead observed for nested VMX transitions when running with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and spectre_v2_user=on/auto, which can be significant, e.g. roughly 3x on current systems.

The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of queue. As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with the following considerations: - rcuwait already provides the proper barriers that serialize concurrent waiter and waker. - Task wakeup is done in rcu read critical region, with a stable task pointer. - Because there is no concurrency among waiters, we need not worry about rcuwait_wait_event() calls corrupting the wait->task. As a consequence, this saves the locking done in swait when modifying the queue. This also applies to per-vcore wait for powerpc kvm-hv. The x86 tscdeadline_latency test mentioned in 8577370f ("KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq") shows that, on avg, latency is reduced by around 15-20% with this change.
