Add support for Hyper-V synthetic debugger (syndbg) interface.
The syndbg interface is using MSRs to emulate a way to send/recv packets
data.
The debug transport dll (kdvm/kdnet) will identify if Hyper-V is enabled
and if it supports the synthetic debugger interface it will attempt to
use it, instead of trying to initialize a network adapter.

The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct
kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit
modes.
In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus
forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the
boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps.
This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using
the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has
to work with 32 bit kernel.
The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI
change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit
userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace
with 64 bit kernel' one.
As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque
nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

If two page ready notifications happen back to back the second one is not
delivered and the only mechanism we currently have is
kvm_check_async_pf_completion() check in vcpu_run() loop. The check will
only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases
it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery
the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled
immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and
unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate
the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification
queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event
delivery.
As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need
a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has
transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce
kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.

Concerns were expressed around APF delivery via synthetic #PF exception as
in some cases such delivery may collide with real page fault. For 'page
ready' notifications we can easily switch to using an interrupt instead.
Introduce new MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT mechanism and deprecate the legacy one.
One notable difference between the two mechanisms is that interrupt may not
get handled immediately so whenever we would like to deliver next event
(regardless of its type) we must be sure the guest had read and cleared
previous event in the slot.
While on it, get rid on 'type 1/type 2' names for APF events in the
documentation as they are causing confusion. Use 'page not present'
and 'page ready' everywhere instead.

There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006bfc ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks"). This adds support for arm64.
x86 still writes protect all huge pages when DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_ALL_SET
is enabled. However, for arm64, both huge pages and normal pages can be
write protected gradually by userspace.
Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G
Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each
case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed
below:
Page Size Before After Optimization
4K 650ms 1.8ms
2M 4ms 1.8ms
1G 2ms 1.8ms
Besides the time reduction, the biggest improvement is that we will minimize
the performance side effect (because of dissolving huge pages and marking
memslots dirty) on guest after enabling dirty log.

With dynamic halt-polling, a VM's VCPUs can poll from anywhere from

Remove all references to cr3_target_value[0-3] and replace the fields
in vmcs12 with "dead_space" to preserve the vmcs12 layout. KVM doesn't
support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that
implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of
supported CR3-target values.
This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD
and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3]. Per
Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in
VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields:
If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they
will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here.
Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support
for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests
given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten
years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.

ultravisor
s390:

- New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require
bulk modification of the page tables.
- Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
VMX, and less buggy.
- Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
optimizations were delayed to 5.8). Instead of using cr3 in
function names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has
standardized on "pgd".
- A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
parallels the core x86_features.
- Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also
be switched to static calls as soon as they are available.
- New Tigerlake CPUID features.
- More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.

KVM: s390: Fix for error codes
- return the proper error to userspace when a signal interrupts the
KSM unsharing operation
|
|
If a signal is pending we might return -ENOMEM instead of -EINTR.
We should propagate the proper error during KSM unsharing.
unmerge_ksm_pages returns -ERESTARTSYS on signal_pending. This gets
translated by entry.S to -EINTR. It is important to get this error
code so that userspace can retry.
To make this clearer we also add -EINTR to the documentation of the
PV_ENABLE call, which calls unmerge_ksm_pages.

At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility
hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a
secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing
whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This
will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of
migrating secure guests from one host to another, because
virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that
secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can
support secure guests.
This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace
can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests,
and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that
guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it,
KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall
that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a
secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and
the guest will terminate.

is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it

SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the

KVM: s390: Features and Enhancements for 5.7 part1
1. Allow to disable gisa
2. protected virtual machines
Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's
state like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the
PVMs are mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV),
which provides an API, so KVM and the PV can request management
actions.
PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access
while running. They switch from a normal operation into protected
mode, so we can still use the standard boot process to load a
encrypted blob and then move it into protected mode.
Rebooting is only possible by passing through the unprotected/normal
mode and switching to protected again.
One mm related patch will go via Andrews mm tree ( mm/gup/writeback:
add callbacks for inaccessible pages)

It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:
1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
SPTEs gradually in small chunks
Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,

A lot of the registers are controlled by the Ultravisor and never
visible to KVM. Some fields in the sie control block are overlayed, like
gbea. As no known userspace uses the ONE_REG interface on s390 if sync
regs are available, no functionality is lost if it is disabled for
protected guests.

The adapter interrupt page containing the indicator bits is currently
pinned. That means that a guest with many devices can pin a lot of
memory pages in the host. This also complicates the reference tracking
which is needed for memory management handling of protected virtual
machines. It might also have some strange side effects for madvise
MADV_DONTNEED and other things.
We can simply try to get the userspace page set the bits and free the
page. By storing the userspace address in the irq routing entry instead
of the guest address we can actually avoid many lookups and list walks
so that this variant is very likely not slower.
If userspace messes around with the memory slots the worst thing that
can happen is that we write to some other memory within that process.
As we get the the page with FOLL_WRITE this can also not be used to
write to shared read-only pages.

Due to some merge conflict, this file ended being alone under
Documentation/virtual.
The file itself is almost at ReST format. Just minor
adjustments are needed:
- Adjust title markup;
- Adjust a list identation;
- add a literal block markup;
- Add some blank lines.

This file is already in ReST compatible format.
So, rename it and add to the kvm's index.rst.
While here, use the standard conversion for document titles.
