kvm_ioctl_create_device currently has knowledge of all the device types
and their associated ops. This is fairly inflexible when adding support
for new in-kernel device emulations, so move what we currently have out
into a table, which can support dynamic registration of ops by new
drivers for virtual hardware.

Currently, we call ioapic_service() immediately when we find the irq is still
active during eoi broadcast. But for real hardware, there's some delay between
the EOI writing and irq delivery. If we do not emulate this behavior, and
re-inject the interrupt immediately after the guest sends an EOI and re-enables
interrupts, a guest might spend all its time in the ISR if it has a broken
handler for a level-triggered interrupt.
Such livelock actually happens with Windows guests when resuming from
hibernation.
As there's no way to recognize the broken handle from new raised ones, this patch
delays an interrupt if 10.000 consecutive EOIs found that the interrupt was
still high. The guest can then make a little forward progress, until a proper
IRQ handler is set or until some detection routine in the guest (such as
Linux's note_interrupt()) recognizes the situation.

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.
If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.
We can prevent the following case:
vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1)
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------
1 vm exit |
2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
3 decide to cache something based on |
old memslots |
4 | change memslots
| (increments generation)
5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
6 retrieve generation # from new memslots |
7 tag cache with new memslot generation |
8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
... |
<action based on cache occurs even |
though the caching decision was based |
on the old memslots> |
... |
<action *continues* to occur until next |
memslot generation change, which may |
be never> |
|
By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).
Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.
To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

The idea between capabilities and the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl is that
userspace can, at run-time, determine if a feature is supported or not.
This allows KVM to being supporting a new feature with a new kernel
version without any need to update user space. Unfortunately, since the
definition of KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM was guarded by #ifdef
__KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM, such discovery still required a user space
update.
Therefore, unconditionally export KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM and change the
in-kernel conditional to rely on __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM.

The third parameter of kvm_iommu_put_pages is wrong,
It should be 'gfn - slot->base_gfn'.
By making gfn very large, malicious guest or userspace can cause kvm to
go to this error path, and subsequently to pass a huge value as size.
Alternatively if gfn is small, then pages would be pinned but never
unpinned, causing host memory leak and local DOS.
Passing a reasonable but large value could be the most dangerous case,
because it would unpin a page that should have stayed pinned, and thus
allow the device to DMA into arbitrary memory. However, this cannot
happen because of the condition that can trigger the error:
- out of memory (where you can't allocate even a single page)
should not be possible for the attacker to trigger
- when exceeding the iommu's address space, guest pages after gfn
will also exceed the iommu's address space, and inside
kvm_iommu_put_pages() the iommu_iova_to_phys() will fail. The
page thus would not be unpinned at all.

Commits e4d57e1ee1 (KVM: Move irq notifier implementation into
eventfd.c, 2014-06-30) included the irq notifier code unconditionally
in eventfd.c, while it was under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP before.
Similarly, commit 297e21053a (KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling
Kconfig option, 2014-06-30) moved code from CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_ROUTING
to CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD but forgot to move the pieces that used to be
under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP.
Together, this broke compilation without CONFIG_KVM_XICS. Fix by adding
or changing the #ifdefs so that they point at CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

This moves the functions kvm_irq_has_notifier(), kvm_notify_acked_irq(),
kvm_register_irq_ack_notifier() and kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier()
from irqchip.c to eventfd.c. The reason for doing this is that those
functions are used in connection with IRQFDs, which are implemented in
eventfd.c. In future we will want to use IRQFDs on platforms that
don't implement the GSI routing implemented in irqchip.c, so we won't
be compiling in irqchip.c, but we still need the irq notifiers. The
implementation is unchanged.

Now that struct _irqfd does not keep a reference to storage pointed
to by the irq_routing field of struct kvm, we can move the statement
that updates it out from under the irqfds.lock and put it in
kvm_set_irq_routing() instead. That means we then have to take a
srcu_read_lock on kvm->irq_srcu around the irqfd_update call in
kvm_irqfd_assign(), since holding the kvm->irqfds.lock no longer
ensures that that the routing can't change.
Combined with changing kvm_irq_map_gsi() and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin()
to take a struct kvm * argument instead of the pointer to the routing
table, this allows us to to move all references to kvm->irq_routing
into irqchip.c. That in turn allows us to move the definition of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct into irqchip.c as well.

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in
order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file,
virt/kvm/irqchip.c. The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.
This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations. That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore,
so this removes it.
This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

This makes the irqfd code keep a copy of the irq routing table entry
for each irqfd, rather than a reference to the copy in the actual
irq routing table maintained in kvm/virt/irqchip.c. This will enable
us to change the routing table structure in future, or even not have a
routing table at all on some platforms.
The synchronization that was previously achieved using srcu_dereference
on the read side is now achieved using a seqcount_t structure. That
ensures that we don't get a halfway-updated copy of the structure if
we read it while another thread is updating it.
We still use srcu_read_lock/unlock around the read side so that when
changing the routing table we can be sure that after calling
synchronize_srcu, nothing will be using the old routing.

Currently, the EOI exit bitmap (used for APICv) does not include
interrupts that are masked. However, this can cause a bug that manifests
as an interrupt storm inside the guest. Alex Williamson reported the
bug and is the one who really debugged this; I only wrote the patch. :)
The scenario involves a multi-function PCI device with OHCI and EHCI
USB functions and an audio function, all assigned to the guest, where
both USB functions use legacy INTx interrupts.
As soon as the guest boots, interrupts for these devices turn into an
interrupt storm in the guest; the host does not see the interrupt storm.
Basically the EOI path does not work, and the guest continues to see the
interrupt over and over, even after it attempts to mask it at the APIC.
The bug is only visible with older kernels (RHEL6.5, based on 2.6.32
with not many changes in the area of APIC/IOAPIC handling).
Alex then tried forcing bit 59 (corresponding to the USB functions' IRQ)
on in the eoi_exit_bitmap and TMR, and things then work. What happens
is that VFIO asserts IRQ11, then KVM recomputes the EOI exit bitmap.
It does not have set bit 59 because the RTE was masked, so the IOAPIC
never sees the EOI and the interrupt continues to fire in the guest.
My guess was that the guest is masking the interrupt in the redirection
table in the interrupt routine, i.e. while the interrupt is set in a
LAPIC's ISR, The simplest fix is to ignore the masking state, we would
rather have an unnecessary exit rather than a missed IRQ ACK and anyway
IOAPIC interrupts are not as performance-sensitive as for example MSIs.
Alex tested this patch and it fixed his bug.
[Thanks to Alex for his precise description of the problem
and initial debugging effort. A lot of the text above is
based on emails exchanged with him.]

If the physical address of GICV isn't page-aligned, then we end up
creating a stage-2 mapping of the page containing it, which causes us to
map neighbouring memory locations directly into the guest.
As an example, consider a platform with GICV at physical 0x2c02f000
running a 64k-page host kernel. If qemu maps this into the guest at
0x80010000, then guest physical addresses 0x80010000 - 0x8001efff will
map host physical region 0x2c020000 - 0x2c02efff. Accesses to these
physical regions may cause UNPREDICTABLE behaviour, for example, on the
Juno platform this will cause an SError exception to EL3, which brings
down the entire physical CPU resulting in RCU stalls / HYP panics / host
crashing / wasted weeks of debugging.
SBSA recommends that systems alias the 4k GICV across the bounding 64k
region, in which case GICV physical could be described as 0x2c020000 in
the above scenario.
This patch fixes the problem by failing the vgic probe if the physical
base address or the size of GICV aren't page-aligned. Note that this
generated a warning in dmesg about freeing enabled IRQs, so I had to
move the IRQ enabling later in the probe.

The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION is only available on the kvm fd today. Unfortunately
on PPC some of the capabilities change depending on the way a VM was created.
So instead we need a way to expose capabilities as VM ioctl, so that we can

According to recent clarifications of mmio.data array meaning -
the mmio.data array should hold bytes as they would appear in
memory. Vgic is little endian device. And in case of BE image
kernel side that emulates vgic, holds data in BE form. So we
need to byteswap cpu<->le32 vgic registers when we read/write them
from mmio.data[].
Change has no effect in LE case because cpu already runs in le32.

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).
