KVM/ARM Fixes for v4.11-rc6
Fixes include:
- Fix a problem with GICv3 userspace save/restore
- Clarify GICv2 userspace save/restore ABI
- Be more careful in clearing GIC LRs
- Add missing synchronization primitive to our MMU handling code
As an oversight, for GICv2, we accidentally export the GICC_PMR register
in the format of the GICH_VMCR.VMPriMask field in the lower 5 bits of a
word, meaning that userspace must always use the lower 5 bits to
communicate with the KVM device and must shift the value left by 3
places to obtain the actual priority mask level.
Since GICv3 supports the full 8 bits of priority masking in the ICH_VMCR,
we have to fix the value we export when emulating a GICv2 on top of a
hardware GICv3 and exporting the emulated GICv2 state to userspace.
Take the chance to clarify this aspect of the ABI.

The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick"
a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal. A signal is attached
to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and
unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
check flag
set flag
raise signal
(signal handler does nothing)
KVM_RUN
However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take
tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN. This lock is often on a
remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator.
Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace
exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference
time counter).
As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that
KVM can see it:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
raise signal
signal handler
set run->immediate_exit
KVM_RUN
check run->immediate_exit

The big feature this time is support for POWER9 using the radix-tree
MMU for host and guest. This required some changes to arch/powerpc
code, so I talked with Michael Ellerman and he created a topic branch
with this patchset, which I merged into kvm-ppc-next and which Michael
will pull into his tree. Michael also put in some patches from Nick
Piggin which fix bugs in the interrupt vector code in relocatable
kernels when coming from a KVM guest.
Other notable changes include:
* Add the ability to change the size of the hashed page table,
from David Gibson.
* XICS (interrupt controller) emulation fixes and improvements,
from Li Zhong.
* Bug fixes from myself and Thomas Huth.
These patches define some new KVM capabilities and ioctls, but there
should be no conflicts with anything else currently upstream, as far
as I am aware.
Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock and the TSC value
used to calculate that clock read.

which is a required register since MIPS32r2. It is currently read-only

Expose the CP0_EntryLo0 and CP0_EntryLo1 registers through the KVM
register access API. This is fairly straightforward for trap & emulate
since we don't support the RI and XI bits. For the sake of future
proofing (particularly for VZ) it is explicitly specified that the API
always exposes the 64-bit version of these registers (i.e. with the RI
and XI bits in bit positions 63 and 62 respectively), and they are
implemented in trap_emul.c rather than mips.c to allow them to be
implemented differently for VZ.

The CP0_EBase register is a standard feature of MIPS32r2, so we should
always have been implementing it properly. However the register value
was ignored and wasn't exposed to userland.
Fix the emulation of exceptions and interrupts to use the value stored
in guest CP0_EBase, and fix the masks so that the top 3 bits (rather
than the standard 2) are fixed, so that it is always in the guest KSeg0
segment.
Also add CP0_EBASE to the KVM one_reg interface so it can be accessed by
userland, also allowing the CPU number field to be written (which isn't
permitted by the guest).

The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).
At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
the first call.
With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
if the guest changed it).
So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.
This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
the new behaviour. In fact the documentation was already slightly
incorrect since 572abd5 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to
smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl"

This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to
advertise whether KVM is capable of handling the PAPR extensions for
resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime. It also adds
definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and
documentation of the same.
Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel
modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu). The
capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation
of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV. To determine if the userspace
resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB. Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR. If userspace it want to support
resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

This merges in the POWER9 radix MMU host and guest support, which
was put into a topic branch because it touches both powerpc and
KVM code.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two
capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the
POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).
The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
table.
The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
(base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page
sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction.
Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL,
until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly
is added.

- Support for the GICv3 ITS on 32bit platforms
- A handful of timer and GIC emulation fixes
- A PMU architecture fix
There is currently no documentation about the halt polling capabilities
of the kvm module. Add some documentation describing the mechanism as well
as the module parameters to all better understanding of how halt polling
should be used and the effect of tuning the module parameters.

This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose
registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor
stop status and control register). They are context-switched
between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set
via the one_reg interface.
The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some
which are only accessible in hypervisor mode. We only allow the
guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

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.

Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC

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

If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel
irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an
uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages.
Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can
establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.
This can be relaxed at a later time if we want to support PMU with a
userspace irqchip.

Up to now, only irqchip routing entries could be set. This patch

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.

Introduce a new KVM device that represents an ARM Interrupt Translation
Service (ITS) controller. Since there can be multiple of this per guest,
we can't piggy back on the existing GICv3 distributor device, but create
a new type of KVM device.
On the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl we allocate and initialize the ITS data
structure and store the pointer in the kvm_device data.
Upon an explicit init ioctl from userland (after having setup the MMIO
address) we register the handlers with the kvm_io_bus framework.
Any reference to an ITS thus has to go via this interface.

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.

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.

Four bigger things:
1. The implementation of the STHYI opcode in the kernel. This is used
in libraries like qclib [1] to provide enough information for a
capacity and usage based software licence pricing. The STHYI content
is defined by the related z/VM documentation [2]. Its data can be
composed by accessing several other interfaces provided by LPAR or
the machine. This information is partially sensitive or root-only
so the kernel does the necessary filtering.
2. Preparation for nested virtualization (VSIE). KVM should query the
proper sclp interfaces for the availability of some features before
using it. In the past we have been sloppy and simply assumed that
several features are available. With this we should be able to handle
most cases of a missing feature.
3. CPU model interfaces extended by some additional features that are
not covered by a facility bit in STFLE. For example all the crypto
instructions of the coprocessor provide a query function. As reality
tends to be more complex (e.g. export regulations might block some
algorithms) we have to provide additional interfaces to query or
set these non-stfle features.
4. Several fixes and changes detected and fixed when doing 1-3.
All features change base s390 code. All relevant patches have an ACK
from the s390 or component maintainers.
The next pull request for 4.8 (part2) will contain the implementation
of VSIE.
