It turns out that we can't handle event channels *entirely* in userspace
by delivering them as ExtINT, because KVM is a bit picky about when it
accepts ExtINT interrupts from a legacy PIC. The in-kernel local APIC
has to have LVT0 configured in APIC_MODE_EXTINT and unmasked, which
isn't necessarily the case for Xen guests especially on secondary CPUs.
To cope with this, add kvm_xen_get_interrupt() which checks the
evtchn_pending_upcall field in the Xen vcpu_info, and delivers the Xen
upcall vector (configured by KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_UPCALL_VECTOR) if it's
set regardless of LAPIC LVT0 configuration. This gives us the minimum
support we need for completely userspace-based implementation of event
channels.
This does mean that vcpu_enter_guest() needs to check for the
evtchn_pending_upcall flag being set, because it can't rely on someone
having set KVM_REQ_EVENT unless we were to add some way for userspace to
do so manually.

Xen usually places its MSR at 0x40000000 or 0x40000200 depending on
whether it is running in viridian mode or not. Note that this is not
ABI guaranteed, so it is possible for Xen to advertise the MSR some
place else.
Given the way xen_hvm_config() is handled, if the former address is
selected, this will conflict with Hyper-V's MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_OS_ID) which unconditionally uses the same address.
Given that the MSR location is arbitrary, move the xen_hvm_config()

In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in
the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table
memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure
threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory
with RCU.
Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free
bugs could also have been acomplished using
walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES,
coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case
has several distinct advantages over that approach.
1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable.
Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate
without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations
are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration.
2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in
perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous
RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when
overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end().
3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the
paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be
scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the
thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages
does.

Using a guest workload which simply issues 'hlt' in a tight loop to
generate VMEXITs, it was observed (on a recent EPYC processor) that a
significant amount of the VMEXIT overhead measured on the host was the
result of MSR reads/writes in svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put according to
perf:
67.49%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--23.13%--vcpu_put
| kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| |
| |--21.31%--native_write_msr
| |
| --1.27%--svm_set_cr4
|
|--16.11%--vcpu_load
| |
| --15.58%--kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--13.97%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | |--12.64%--native_read_msr
Most of these MSRs relate to 'syscall'/'sysenter' and segment bases, and
can be saved/restored using 'vmsave'/'vmload' instructions rather than
explicit MSR reads/writes. In doing so there is a significant reduction
in the svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put overhead measured for the above
workload:
50.92%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--19.28%--disable_nmi_singlestep
|
|--13.68%--vcpu_load
| kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--9.19%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | --6.44%--native_read_msr
| |
| --3.55%--native_write_msr
|
|--6.05%--kvm_inject_nmi
|--2.80%--kvm_sev_es_mmio_read
|--2.19%--vcpu_put
| |
| --1.25%--kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| native_write_msr
Quantifying this further, if we look at the raw cycle counts for a
normal iteration of the above workload (according to 'rdtscp'),
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() takes ~4600 cycles from start to finish with
the current behavior. Using 'vmsave'/'vmload', this is reduced to
~2800 cycles, a savings of 39%.
While this approach doesn't seem to manifest in any noticeable
improvement for more realistic workloads like UnixBench, netperf, and
kernel builds, likely due to their exit paths generally involving IO
with comparatively high latencies, it does improve overall overhead
of KVM_RUN significantly, which may still be noticeable for certain
situations. It also simplifies some aspects of the code.
With this change, explicit save/restore is no longer needed for the
following host MSRs, since they are documented[1] as being part of the
VMCB State Save Area:
MSR_STAR, MSR_LSTAR, MSR_CSTAR,
MSR_SYSCALL_MASK, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP,
MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE
and only the following MSR needs individual handling in
svm_vcpu_put/svm_vcpu_load:
MSR_TSC_AUX
We could drop the host_save_user_msrs array/loop and instead handle
MSR read/write of MSR_TSC_AUX directly, but we leave that for now as
a potential follow-up.
Since 'vmsave'/'vmload' also handles the LDTR and FS/GS segment
registers (and associated hidden state)[2], some of the code
previously used to handle this is no longer needed, so we drop it
as well.
The first public release of the SVM spec[3] also documents the same
handling for the host state in question, so we make these changes
unconditionally.
Also worth noting is that we 'vmsave' to the same page that is
subsequently used by 'vmrun' to record some host additional state. This
is okay, since, in accordance with the spec[2], the additional state
written to the page by 'vmrun' does not overwrite any fields written by
'vmsave'. This has also been confirmed through testing (for the above
CPU, at least).
