We expose a blob of hypercall instructions to user space that it gives to
the guest via device tree again. That blob should contain a stream of
instructions necessary to do a hypercall in big endian, as it just gets
passed into the guest and old guests use them straight away.

When the guest does an RTAS hypercall it keeps all RTAS variables inside a
big endian data structure.
To make sure we don't have to bother about endianness inside the actual RTAS
handlers, let's just convert the whole structure to host endian before we
call our RTAS handlers and back to big endian when we return to the guest.

The HTAB on PPC is always in big endian. When we access it via hypercalls
on behalf of the guest and we're running on a little endian host, we need
to make sure we swap the bits accordingly.

The "shadow SLB" in the PACA is shared with the hypervisor, so it has to
be big endian. We access the shadow SLB during world switch, so let's make

The HTAB is always big endian. We access the guest's HTAB using

Commit 9308ab8e2d made C/R HTAB updates go byte-wise into the target HTAB.
However, it didn't update the guest's copy of the HTAB, but instead the
host local copy of it.
Write to the guest's HTAB instead.

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

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.

Not needed anymore now that the CPL is computed directly
during task switch.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
|

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.

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 934bc131efc3e4be6a52f7dd6c4dbf
(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
|

This patch splits the SIE state guest prefix at offset 4
into a prefix bit field. Additionally it provides the
access functions:
- kvm_s390_get_prefix()
- kvm_s390_set_prefix()
to access the prefix per vcpu.

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.

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.

1. Fixes an error return code for the breakpoint setup
2. External interrupt fixes
2.1. Some interrupt conditions like cpu timer or clock comparator
stay pending even after the interrupt is injected. If the external
new PSW is enabled for interrupts this will result in an endless
loop. 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

have to inject the interrupts manually or we should drop to userspace in
case of errors.

the 'pio_data'). 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'). If 'count' is greater than one, this is indicated
by the string "(...)" in the trace output.

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).

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. NOTES
There is one non-s390 change in include/linux/kvm_host.h that
introduces 2 defines for VCPU requests:
define KVM_REQ_ENABLE_IBS 23
define KVM_REQ_DISABLE_IBS 24

Invariant TSC is a property of TSC, no additional
support code necessary.

This patch enables the IBS facility when a single VCPU is running.
The facility is dynamically turned on/off as soon as other VCPUs
enter/leave the stopped state.
When this facility is operating, some instructions can be executed
faster for single-cpu guests.

This patch introduces two new functions to set/clear the CPUSTAT_STOPPED bit and
makes use of it at all applicable places. These functions prepare the additional
execution of code when starting/stopping a vcpu.
The CPUSTAT_STOPPED bit should not be touched outside of these functions.
