2017-01-09KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register statePaul Mackerras
commit 0d808df06a44200f52262b6eb72bcb6042f5a7c5 upstream. When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

2016-11-19kvm: kvmclock: let KVM_GET_CLOCK return whether the master clock is in usePaolo Bonzini
Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock is stable across all VCPUs.

Up to now, only irqchip routing entries could be set. This patch adds the capability to insert MSI routing entries.

2016-07-22KVM: arm/arm64: Enable irqchip routingEric Auger
This patch adds compilation and link against irqchip. Main motivation behind using irqchip code is to enable MSI routing code. In the future irqchip routing may also be useful when targeting multiple irqchips. Routing standard callbacks now are implemented in vgic-irqfd: - kvm_set_routing_entry - kvm_set_irq - kvm_set_msi They only are supported with new_vgic code. Both HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP and HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING are defined. KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING is advertised and KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING is allowed. So from now on IRQCHIP routing is enabled and a routing table entry must exist for irqfd injection to succeed for a given SPI. This patch builds a default flat irqchip routing table (gsi=irqchip.pin) covering all the VGIC SPI indexes. This routing table is overwritten by the first first user-space call to KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl. MSI routing setup is not yet allowed.

2016-07-18KVM: Extend struct kvm_msi to hold a 32-bit device IDAndre Przywara
The ARM GICv3 ITS MSI controller requires a device ID to be able to assign the proper interrupt vector. On real hardware, this ID is sampled from the bus. To be able to emulate an ITS controller, extend the KVM MSI interface to let userspace provide such a device ID. For PCI devices, the device ID is simply the 16-bit bus-device-function triplet, which should be easily available to the userland tool. Also there is a new KVM capability which advertises whether the current VM requires a device ID to be set along with the MSI data. This flag is still reported as not available everywhere, later we will enable it when ITS emulation is used.

2016-07-14KVM: x86: add KVM_CAP_X2APIC_APIRadim Krčmář
KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC enablement. KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits. Both are needed to support x2APIC. The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not backward-compatible. Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping unit. The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits. Lower 8 bits are reserved as 0. Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we didn't check that userspace zeroed the word. Reserved bits are still not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses, which will cause a bug.

2016-05-11kvm: introduce KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDGreg Kurz
The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8. This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids plus one. The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU. This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC. Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

2016-02-16KVM: PPC: Add support for multiple-TCE hcallsAlexey Kardashevskiy
This adds real and virtual mode handlers for the H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls for user space emulated devices such as IBMVIO devices or emulated PCI. These calls allow adding multiple entries (up to 512) into the TCE table in one call which saves time on transition between kernel and user space. The current implementation of kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() allows it to be executed in both real and virtual modes so there is one helper. The kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect() needs to translate the guest address to the host address and since the translation is different, there are 2 helpers - one for each mode. This implements the KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE capability. When present, the kernel will try handling H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE if these are enabled by the userspace via KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL. If they can not be handled by the kernel, they are passed on to the user space. The user space still has to have an implementation for these. Both HV and PR-syle KVM are supported.

2015-11-25kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controllerAndrey Smetanin
SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension, which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI semantics - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message slots - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT event flag areas The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area. The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM) MSR. The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT mapping.

2015-10-01KVM: x86: Add support for local interrupt requests from userspaceSteve Rutherford
In order to enable userspace PIC support, the userspace PIC needs to be able to inject local interrupts even when the APICs are in the kernel. KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when APICs are in the kernel. The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not masked the PIC). When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives in userspace. When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt if it had been pending. Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while it is low. Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt. Compiles for x86. Can pass the KVM Unit Tests. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2015-10-01KVM: x86: Add EOI exit bitmap inferenceSteve Rutherford
In order to support a userspace IOAPIC interacting with an in kernel APIC, the EOI exit bitmaps need to be configurable. If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured. In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU. The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI routes to inject interrupts into the guest. This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an additional route type to improve clarity.

Uses a per VCPU exit bitmap to decide whether or not the IOAPIC needs to be informed (which is identical to the EOI_EXIT_BITMAP field used by modern x86 processors, but can also be used to elide kvm IOAPIC EOI exits on older processors). [Note: A prototype using ResampleFDs found that decoupling the EOI from the VCPU's thread made it possible for the VCPU to not see a recent EOI after reentering the guest.

2015-07-21KVM: arm64: guest debug, add SW break point supportAlex Bennée
This adds support for SW breakpoints inserted by userspace. We do this by trapping all guest software debug exceptions to the hypervisor (MDCR_EL2.TDE). The exit handler sets an exit reason of KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch structure holding the exception syndrome information. It will be up to userspace to extract the PC (via GET_ONE_REG) and determine if the debug event was for a breakpoint it inserted. If not userspace will need to re-inject the correct exception restart the hypervisor to deliver the debug exception to the guest. Any other guest software debug exception (e.g. single step or HW assisted breakpoints) will cause an error and the VM to be killed. This is addressed by later patches which add support for the other debug types.

2015-05-07KVM: x86: Support for disabling quirksNadav Amit
Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled: 1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot 2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would therefore be disabled by QEMU.

2015-04-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.Michael Ellerman
Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator. This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency oscillators and are almost completely entropic. PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one 64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for all the threads in the same virtual core. Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

2015-03-31KVM: s390: migrate vcpu interrupt stateJens Freimann
This patch adds support to migrate vcpu interrupts. Two new vcpu ioctls are added which get/set the complete status of pending interrupts in one go. The ioctls are marked as available with the new capability KVM_CAP_S390_IRQ_STATE. We can not use a ONEREG, as the number of pending local interrupts is not constant and depends on the number of CPUs. To retrieve the interrupt state we add an ioctl KVM_S390_GET_IRQ_STATE. Its input parameter is a pointer to a struct kvm_s390_irq_state which has a buffer and length. For all currently pending interrupts, we copy a struct kvm_s390_irq into the buffer and pass it to userspace. To store interrupt state into a buffer provided by userspace, we add an ioctl KVM_S390_SET_IRQ_STATE. It passes a struct kvm_s390_irq_state into the kernel and injects all interrupts contained in the buffer.
