2019-07-15kvm: x86: ioapic and apic debug macros cleanupYi Wang
The ioapic_debug and apic_debug have been not used for years, and kvm tracepoints are enough for debugging, so remove them as Paolo suggested. However, there may be something wrong when pv evi get/put user, so it's better to retain some log there.

2019-07-02KVM: LAPIC: Fix pending interrupt in IRR blocked by software disable LAPICWanpeng Li
Thomas reported that: | Background: | | In preparation of supporting IPI shorthands I changed the CPU offline | code to software disable the local APIC instead of just masking it. | That's done by clearing the APIC_SPIV_APIC_ENABLED bit in the APIC_SPIV | register. | | Failure: | | When the CPU comes back online the startup code triggers occasionally | the warning in apic_pending_intr_clear(). That complains that the IRRs | are not empty. | | The offending vector is the local APIC timer vector who's IRR bit is set | and stays set. | | It took me quite some time to reproduce the issue locally, but now I can | see what happens. | | It requires apicv_enabled=0, i.e. full apic emulation. With apicv_enabled=1 | (and hardware support) it behaves correctly. | | Here is the series of events: | | Guest CPU | | goes down | | native_cpu_disable() | | apic_soft_disable(); | | play_dead() | | .... | | startup() | | if (apic_enabled()) | apic_pending_intr_clear() <- Not taken | | enable APIC | | apic_pending_intr_clear() <- Triggers warning because IRR is stale | | When this happens then the deadline timer or the regular APIC timer - | happens with both, has fired shortly before the APIC is disabled, but the | interrupt was not serviced because the guest CPU was in an interrupt | disabled region at that point. | | The state of the timer vector ISR/IRR bits: | | ISR IRR | before apic_soft_disable() 0 1 | after apic_soft_disable() 0 1 | | On startup 0 1 | | Now one would assume that the IRR is cleared after the INIT reset, but this | happens only on CPU0. | | Why? | | Because our CPU0 hotplug is just for testing to make sure nothing breaks | and goes through an NMI wakeup vehicle because INIT would send it through | the boots-trap code which is not really working if that CPU was not | physically unplugged. | | Now looking at a real world APIC the situation in that case is: | | ISR IRR | before apic_soft_disable() 0 1 | after apic_soft_disable() 0 1 | | On startup 0 0 | | Why? | | Once the dying CPU reenables interrupts the pending interrupt gets | delivered as a spurious interupt and then the state is clear. | | While that CPU0 hotplug test case is surely an esoteric issue, the APIC | emulation is still wrong, Even if the play_dead() code would not enable | interrupts then the pending IRR bit would turn into an ISR .. interrupt | when the APIC is reenabled on startup. From SDM 10.4.7.2 Local APIC State After It Has Been Software Disabled * Pending interrupts in the IRR and ISR registers are held and require masking or handling by the CPU. In Thomas's testing, hardware cpu will not respect soft disable LAPIC when IRR has already been set or APICv posted-interrupt is in flight, so we can skip soft disable APIC checking when clearing IRR and set ISR, continue to respect soft disable APIC when attempting to set IRR.

2019-06-04KVM: LAPIC: Optimize timer latency furtherWanpeng Li
Advance lapic timer tries to hidden the hypervisor overhead between the host emulated timer fires and the guest awares the timer is fired. However, it just hidden the time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer -> wait_lapic_expire, instead of the real position of vmentry which is mentioned in the orignial commit d0659d946be0 ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration"). There is 700+ cpu cycles between the end of wait_lapic_expire and before world switch on my haswell desktop. This patch tries to narrow the last gap(wait_lapic_expire -> world switch), it takes the real overhead time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer and before world switch into consideration when adaptively tuning timer advancement. The patch can reduce 40% latency (~1600+ cycles to ~1000+ cycles on a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing busy waits.

2019-04-18KVM: lapic: Convert guest TSC to host time domain if necessarySean Christopherson
To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest, KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. In the event that the adjustments are too aggressive, i.e. the timer fires earlier than the guest expects, KVM busy waits immediately prior to entering the guest. Currently, KVM manually converts the delay from nanoseconds to clock cycles. But, the conversion is done in the guest's time domain, while the delay occurs in the host's time domain. This is perfectly ok when the guest and host are using the same TSC ratio, but if the guest is using a different ratio then the delay may not be accurate and could wait too little or too long. When the guest is not using the host's ratio, convert the delay from guest clock cycles to host nanoseconds and use ndelay() instead of __delay() to provide more accurate timing. Because converting to nanoseconds is relatively expensive, e.g. requires division and more multiplication ops, continue using __delay() directly when guest and host TSCs are running at the same ratio.

2019-04-18KVM: lapic: Allow user to disable adaptive tuning of timer advancementSean Christopherson
The introduction of adaptive tuning of lapic timer advancement did not allow for the scenario where userspace would want to disable adaptive tuning but still employ timer advancement, e.g. for testing purposes or to handle a use case where adaptive tuning is unable to settle on a suitable time. This is epecially pertinent now that KVM places a hard threshold on the maximum advancment time. Rework the timer semantics to accept signed values, with a value of '-1' being interpreted as "use adaptive tuning with KVM's internal default", and any other value being used as an explicit advancement time, e.g. a time of '0' effectively disables advancement. Note, this does not completely restore the original behavior of lapic_timer_advance_ns. Prior to tracking the advancement per vCPU, which is necessary to support autotuning, userspace could adjust lapic_timer_advance_ns for *running* vCPU. With per-vCPU tracking, the module params are snapshotted at vCPU creation, i.e. applying a new advancement effectively requires restarting a VM. Dynamically updating a running vCPU is possible, e.g. a helper could be added to retrieve the desired delay, choosing between the global module param and the per-VCPU value depending on whether or not auto-tuning is (globally) enabled, but introduces a great deal of complexity. The wrapper itself is not complex, but understanding and documenting the effects of dynamically toggling auto-tuning and/or adjusting the timer advancement is nigh impossible since the behavior would be dependent on KVM's implementation as well as compiler optimizations. In other words, providing stable behavior would require extremely careful consideration now and in the future. Given that the expected use of a manually-tuned timer advancement is to "tune once, run many", use the vastly simpler approach of recognizing changes to the module params only when creating a new vCPU.

2019-04-18KVM: lapic: Track lapic timer advance per vCPUSean Christopherson
Automatically adjusting the globally-shared timer advancement could corrupt the timer, e.g. if multiple vCPUs are concurrently adjusting the advancement value. That could be partially fixed by using a local variable for the arithmetic, but it would still be susceptible to a race when setting timer_advance_adjust_done. And because virtual_tsc_khz and tsc_scaling_ratio are per-vCPU, the correct calibration for a given vCPU may not apply to all vCPUs. Furthermore, lapic_timer_advance_ns is marked __read_mostly, which is effectively violated when finding a stable advancement takes an extended amount of timer. Opportunistically change the definition of lapic_timer_advance_ns to a u32 so that it matches the style of struct kvm_timer. Explicitly pass the param to kvm_create_lapic() so that it doesn't have to be exposed to lapic.c, thus reducing the probability of unintentionally using the global value instead of the per-vCPU value.

2019-04-18KVM: lapic: Disable timer advancement if adaptive tuning goes haywireSean Christopherson
To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest, KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. Now that the timer advancement is automatically tuned during runtime, it's effectively unbounded by default, e.g. if KVM is running as L1 the advancement can measure in hundreds of milliseconds. Disable timer advancement if adaptive tuning yields an advancement of more than 5000ns, as large advancements can break reasonable assumptions of the guest, e.g. that a timer configured to fire after 1ms won't arrive on the next instruction. Although KVM busy waits to mitigate the case of a timer event arriving too early, complications can arise when shifting the interrupt too far, e.g. kvm-unit-test's vmx.interrupt test will fail when its "host" exits on interrupts as KVM may inject the INTR before the guest executes STI+HLT. Arguably the unit test is "broken" in the sense that delaying a timer interrupt by 1ms doesn't technically guarantee the interrupt will arrive after STI+HLT, but it's a reasonable assumption that KVM should support. Furthermore, an unbounded advancement also effectively unbounds the time spent busy waiting, e.g. if the guest programs a timer with a very large delay. 5000ns is a somewhat arbitrary threshold. When running on bare metal, which is the intended use case, timer advancement is expected to be in the general vicinity of 1000ns. 5000ns is high enough that false positives are unlikely, while not being so high as to negatively affect the host's performance/stability. Note, a future patch will enable userspace to disable KVM's adaptive tuning, which will allow priveleged userspace will to specifying an advancement value in excess of this arbitrary threshold in order to satisfy an abnormal use case.

2019-04-18KVM: x86: Consider LAPIC TSC-Deadline timer expired if deadline too shortLiran Alon
If guest sets MSR_IA32_TSCDEADLINE to value such that in host time-domain it's shorter than lapic_timer_advance_ns, we can reach a case that we call hrtimer_start() with expiration time set at the past. Because lapic_timer.timer is init with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED, it is not allowed to run in softirq and therefore will never expire. To avoid such a scenario, verify that deadline expiration time is set on host time-domain further than (now + lapic_timer_advance_ns). A future patch can also consider adding a min_timer_deadline_ns module parameter, similar to min_timer_period_us to avoid races that amount of ns it takes to run logic could still call hrtimer_start() with expiration timer set at the past.

There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. If the allocations aren't tied to the process, the OOM killer will not know that killing the process will free the associated kernel memory.

Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch introduced no new failures. Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch memory and then checks that the kernel memory allocated for the process is within certain bounds. With this patch we account for much more of the vmalloc and slab memory allocated for the VM. There remain a few allocations which should be charged to the VM's cgroup but are not. In x86, they include: vcpu->arch.pio_data There allocations are unaccounted in this patch because they are mapped to userspace, and accounting them to a cgroup causes problems.

vcpu->arch.pv_eoi is accessible through both HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE and MSR_KVM_PV_EOI_EN so on migration userspace may try to restore them in any order. Values match, however, kvm_lapic_enable_pv_eoi() uses different length: for Hyper-V case it's the whole struct hv_vp_assist_page, for KVM native case it is 8. In case we restore KVM-native MSR last cache will be reinitialized with len=8 so trying to access VP assist page beyond 8 bytes with kvm_read_guest_cached() will fail.

2018-10-17KVM: LAPIC: Tune lapic_timer_advance_ns automaticallyWanpeng Li
In cloud environment, lapic_timer_advance_ns is needed to be tuned for every CPU generations, and every host kernel versions(the kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency.flat is 5700 cycles for upstream kernel and 9600 cycles for our 3.10 product kernel, both preemption_timer=N, Skylake server). This patch adds the capability to automatically tune lapic_timer_advance_ns step by step, the initial value is 1000ns as 'commit d0659d946be0 ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration")' recommended, it will be reduced when it is too early, and increased when it is too late. The guest_tsc and tsc_deadline are hard to equal, so we assume we are done when the delta is within a small scope e.g. 100 cycles. This patch reduces latency (kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency, busy waits, preemption_timer enabled) from ~2600 cyles to ~1200 cyles on our Skylake server.

2018-09-20x86/kvm/lapic: always disable MMIO interface in x2APIC modeVitaly Kuznetsov
When VMX is used with flexpriority disabled (because of no support or if disabled with module parameter) MMIO interface to lAPIC is still available in x2APIC mode while it shouldn't be (kvm-unit-tests): PASS: apic_disable: Local apic enabled in x2APIC mode PASS: apic_disable: CPUID.1H:EDX.APIC[bit 9] is set FAIL: apic_disable: *0xfee00030: 50014 The issue appears because we basically do nothing while switching to x2APIC mode when APIC access page is not used. apic_mmio_{read,write} only check if lAPIC is disabled before proceeding to actual write. When APIC access is virtualized we correctly manipulate with VMX controls in vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode() and we don't get vmexits from memory writes in x2APIC mode so there's no issue. Disabling MMIO interface seems to be easy. The question is: what do we do with these reads and writes? If we add apic_x2apic_mode() check to apic_mmio_in_range() and return -EOPNOTSUPP these reads and writes will go to userspace. When lAPIC is in kernel, Qemu uses this interface to inject MSIs only (see kvm_apic_mem_write() in hw/i386/kvm/apic.c). This somehow works with disabled lAPIC but when we're in xAPIC mode we will get a real injected MSI from every write to lAPIC. Not good. The simplest solution seems to be to just ignore writes to the region and return ~0 for all reads when we're in x2APIC mode. This is what this patch does. However, this approach is inconsistent with what currently happens when flexpriority is enabled: we allocate APIC access page and create KVM memory region so in x2APIC modes all reads and writes go to this pre-allocated page which is, btw, the same for all vCPUs.

2018-09-07KVM: LAPIC: Fix pv ipis out-of-bounds accessWanpeng Li
Dan Carpenter reported that the untrusted data returns from kvm_register_read() results in the following static checker warning: arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:576 kvm_pv_send_ipi() error: buffer underflow 'map->phys_map' 's32min-s32max' KVM guest can easily trigger this by executing the following assembly sequence in Ring0: mov $10, %rax mov $0xFFFFFFFF, %rbx mov $0xFFFFFFFF, %rdx mov $0, %rsi vmcall As this will cause KVM to execute the following code-path: vmx_handle_exit() -> handle_vmcall() -> kvm_emulate_hypercall() -> kvm_pv_send_ipi() which will reach out-of-bounds access. This patch fixes it by adding a check to kvm_pv_send_ipi() against map->max_apic_id, ignoring destinations that are not present and delivering the rest. We also check whether or not map->phys_map[min + i] is NULL since the max_apic_id is set to the max apic id, some phys_map maybe NULL when apic id is sparse, especially kvm unconditionally set max_apic_id to 255 to reserve enough space for any xAPIC ID.

Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster mode. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic mode which can get great improvement by Exit-less IPIs. This patchset lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode.

2018-05-24x86/kvm: fix LAPIC timer drift when guest uses periodic modeDavid Vrabel
Since 4.10, commit 8003c9ae204e (KVM: LAPIC: add APIC Timer periodic/oneshot mode VMX preemption timer support), guests using periodic LAPIC timers (such as FreeBSD 8.4) would see their timers drift significantly over time. Differences in the underlying clocks and numerical errors means the periods of the two timers (hv and sw) are not the same. This difference will accumulate with every expiry resulting in a large error between the hv and sw timer. This means the sw timer may be running slow when compared to the hv timer. When the timer is switched from hv to sw, the now active sw timer will expire late. The guest VCPU is reentered and it switches to using the hv timer. This timer catches up, injecting multiple IRQs into the guest (of which the guest only sees one as it does not get to run until the hv timer has caught up) and thus the guest's timer rate is low (and becomes increasing slower over time as the sw timer lags further and further behind). I believe a similar problem would occur if the hv timer is the slower one, but I have not observed this. Fix this by synchronizing the deadlines for both timers to the same time source on every tick. This prevents the errors from accumulating.
