When exception payloads are enabled by userspace (which is not yet possible) and a #DB is raised in L2, defer the setting of DR6 until later. Under VMX, this allows the L1 hypervisor to intercept the fault before DR6 is modified. Under SVM, DR6 is modified before L1 can intercept the fault (as has always been the case with DR7). Note that the payload associated with a #DB exception includes only the "new DR6 bits." When the payload is delievered, DR6.B0-B3 will be cleared and DR6.RTM will be set prior to merging in the new DR6 bits. Also note that bit 16 in the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was enabled. Though the reverse of DR6.RTM, this makes the #DB payload field compatible with both the pending debug exceptions field under VMX and the exit qualification for #DB exceptions under VMX. Reported-by:

When exception payloads are enabled by userspace (which is not yet possible) and a #PF is raised in L2, defer the setting of CR2 until the #PF is delivered. This allows the L1 hypervisor to intercept the fault before CR2 is modified. For backwards compatibility, when exception payloads are not enabled by userspace, kvm_multiple_exception modifies CR2 when the #PF exception is raised. Reported-by:

kvm_multiple_exception now takes two additional operands: has_payload and payload, so that updates to CR2 (and DR6 under VMX) can be delayed until the exception is delivered. This is necessary to properly emulate VMX or SVM hardware behavior for nested virtualization. The new behavior is triggered by vcpu->kvm->arch.exception_payload_enabled, which will (later) be set by a new per-VM capability, KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD. Reported-by:

Jim Mattson authored
The per-VM capability KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD (to be introduced in a later commit) adds the following fields to struct kvm_vcpu_events: exception_has_payload, exception_payload, and exception.pending. With this capability set, all of the details of vcpu->arch.exception, including the payload for a pending exception, are reported to userspace in response to KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS. With this capability clear, the original ABI is preserved, and the exception.injected field is set for either pending or injected exceptions. When userspace calls KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD clear, exception.injected is no longer translated to exception.pending. KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS can now only establish a pending exception when KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD is set. Reported-by:

The payload associated with a #PF exception is the linear address of the fault to be loaded into CR2 when the fault is delivered. The payload associated with a #DB exception is a mask of the DR6 bits to be set (or in the case of DR6.RTM, cleared) when the fault is delivered. Add fields has_payload and payload to kvm_queued_exception to track payloads for pending exceptions. The new fields are introduced here, but for now, they are just cleared. Reported-by:

vcpu->arch.pv_eoi is accessible through both HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE and MSR_KVM_PV_EOI_EN so on migration userspace may try to restore them in any order. Values match, however, kvm_lapic_enable_pv_eoi() uses different length: for Hyper-V case it's the whole struct hv_vp_assist_page, for KVM native case it is 8. In case we restore KVM-native MSR last cache will be reinitialized with len=8 so trying to access VP assist page beyond 8 bytes with kvm_read_guest_cached() will fail. Check if we re-initializing cache for the same address and preserve length in case it was greater. Signed-off-by:

When Enlightened VMCS is in use by L1 hypervisor we can avoid vmwriting VMCS fields which did not change. Our first goal is to achieve minimal impact on traditional VMCS case so we're not wrapping each vmwrite() with an if-changed checker. We also can't utilize static keys as Enlightened VMCS usage is per-guest. This patch implements the simpliest solution: checking fields in groups. We skip single vmwrite() statements as doing the check will cost us something even in non-evmcs case and the win is tiny. Unfortunately, this makes prepare_vmcs02_full{,_full}() code Enlightened VMCS-dependent (and a bit ugly). Signed-off-by:

Per Hyper-V TLFS 5.0b: "The L1 hypervisor may choose to use enlightened VMCSs by writing 1 to the corresponding field in the VP assist page (see section 7.8.7). Another field in the VP assist page controls the currently active enlightened VMCS. Each enlightened VMCS is exactly one page (4 KB) in size and must be initially zeroed. No VMPTRLD instruction must be executed to make an enlightened VMCS active or current. After the L1 hypervisor performs a VM entry with an enlightened VMCS, the VMCS is considered active on the processor. An enlightened VMCS can only be active on a single processor at the same time. The L1 hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state. Any VMREAD or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is active is unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior." Keep Enlightened VMCS structure for the current L2 guest permanently mapped from struct nested_vmx instead of mapping it every time. Suggested-by:

Enlightened VMCS is opt-in. The current version does not contain all fields supported by nested VMX so we must not advertise the corresponding VMX features if enlightened VMCS is enabled. Userspace is given the enlightened VMCS version supported by KVM as part of enabling KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS. The version is to be advertised to the nested hypervisor, currently done via a cpuid leaf for Hyper-V. Suggested-by:

rmap_remove() removes the sptep after locating the correct rmap_head but, in several cases, the caller has already known the correct rmap_head. This patch introduces a new pte_list_remove(); because it is known that the spte is present (or it would not have an rmap_head), it is safe to remove the tracking bits without any previous check.

Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on. Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71. writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time. When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup and shutdown time. without my patch, get the vm-exit time of accessing rtc 0x70 and piix 0xcf8 using perf tools: (guest OS : windows 7 64bit) IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time 0x70:POUT 86 30.99% 74.59% 9us 29us 10.75us (+- 3.41%) 0xcf8:POUT 1119 2.60% 2.12% 2.79us 56.83us 3.41us (+- 2.23%) with my patch IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time 0x70:POUT 106 32.02% 29.47% 0us 10us 1.57us (+- 7.38%) 0xcf8:POUT 1065 1.67% 0.28% 0.41us 65.44us 0.66us (+- 10.55%) Signed-off-by:

Recently the minimum required version of binutils was changed to 2.20, which supports all VMX instruction mnemonics. The patch removes all .byte #defines and uses real instruction mnemonics instead. The compiler is now able to pass memory operand to the instruction, so there is no need for memory clobber anymore. Also, the compiler adds CC register clobber automatically to all extended asm clauses, so the patch also removes explicit CC clobber. The immediate benefit of the patch is removal of many unnecesary register moves, resulting in 1434 saved bytes in vmx.o: text data bss dec hex filename 151257 18246 8500 178003 2b753 vmx.o 152691 18246 8500 179437 2bced vmx-old.o Some examples of improvement include removal of unneeded moves of %rsp to %rax in front of invept and invvpid instructions: a57e: b9 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%ecx a583: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp) a587: 48 89 e0 mov %rsp,%rax a58a: 48 c7 44 24 08 00 00 movq $0x0,0x8(%rsp) a591: 00 00 a593: 66 0f 38 80 08 invept (%rax),%rcx to: a45c: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp) a460: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax a465: 48 c7 44 24 08 00 00 movq $0x0,0x8(%rsp) a46c: 00 00 a46e: 66 0f 38 80 04 24 invept (%rsp),%rax and the ability to use more optimal registers and memory operands in the instruction: 8faa: 48 8b 44 24 28 mov 0x28(%rsp),%rax 8faf: 4c 89 c2 mov %r8,%rdx 8fb2: 0f 79 d0 vmwrite %rax,%rdx to: 8e7c: 44 0f 79 44 24 28 vmwrite 0x28(%rsp),%r8 Signed-off-by:

When EPT is used for nested guest we need to re-init MMU as shadow EPT MMU (nested_ept_init_mmu_context() does that). When we return back from L2 to L1 kvm_mmu_reset_context() in nested_vmx_load_cr3() resets MMU back to normal TDP mode. Add a special 'guest_mmu' so we can use separate root caches; the improved hit rate is not very important for single vCPU performance, but it avoids contention on the mmu_lock for many vCPUs. On the nested CPUID benchmark, with 16 vCPUs, an L2->L1->L2 vmexit goes from 42k to 26k cycles. Signed-off-by:

The quote from the comment almost says it all: we are currently zeroing the guest dr6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put, because do_debug expects it. However, the host %dr6 is either: - zero because the guest hasn't run after kvm_arch_vcpu_load - written from vcpu->arch.dr6 by vcpu_enter_guest - written by the guest and copied to vcpu->arch.dr6 by ->sync_dirty_debug_regs(). Therefore, we can skip the write if vcpu->arch.dr6 is already zero. We may do extra useless writes if vcpu->arch.dr6 is nonzero but the guest hasn't run; however that is less important for performance. Signed-off-by:
