[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under

KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation support
This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.
For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.
Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.
Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.
This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.
As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Portability: split kvm_vcpu_ioctl
This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M
vanilla boosting improved
1VM 21443 23520 9%
2VM 2800 8000 180%
3VM 1800 3100 72%

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Move x86's MMU notifier memslot walkers to generic code
Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch
does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across
multiple architectures.
In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing
optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring
multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a
relevant range exists in the memslots.
The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by
x86, may also benefit other architectures.
Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU
and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks.
Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an
interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch
specific code.
MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Move x86's MMU notifier memslot walkers to generic code
Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch
does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across
multiple architectures.
In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing
optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring
multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a
relevant range exists in the memslots.
The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by
x86, may also benefit other architectures.
Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU

KVM: Add member to struct kvm_gfn_range to indicate private/shared
Add new members to strut kvm_gfn_range to indicate which mapping
(private-vs-shared) to operate on: enum kvm_gfn_range_filter
attr_filter. Update the core zapping operations to set them appropriately.
TDX utilizes two GPA aliases for the same memslots, one for memory that is
for private memory and one that is for shared. For private memory, KVM
cannot always perform the same operations it does on memory for default
VMs, such as zapping pages and having them be faulted back in, as this
requires guest coordination. However, some operations such as guest driven
conversion of memory between private and shared should zap private memory.
Internally to the MMU, private and shared mappings are tracked on separate
roots. Mapping and zapping operations will operate on the respective GFN
alias for each root (private or shared). So zapping operations will by
default zap both aliases. Add fields in struct kvm_gfn_range to allow
callers to specify which aliases so they can only target the aliases
appropriate for their specific operation.
There was feedback that target aliases should be specified such that the
default value (0) is to operate on both aliases. Several options were
considered. Several variations of having separate bools defined such
that the default behavior was to process both aliases. They either allowed
nonsensical configurations, or were confusing for the caller. A simple
enum was also explored and was close, but was hard to process in the
caller. Instead, use an enum with the default value (0) reserved as a
disallowed value. Catch ranges that didn't have the target aliases
specified by looking for that specific value.
Set target alias with enum appropriately for these MMU operations:
- For KVM's mmu notifier callbacks, zap shared pages only because private
pages won't have a userspace mapping
- For setting memory attributes, kvm_arch_pre_set_memory_attributes()
chooses the aliases based on the attribute.
- For guest_memfd invalidations, zap private only.

KVM: Take mmu_lock when handling MMU notifier iff the hva hits a memslot
Defer acquiring mmu_lock in the MMU notifier paths until a "hit" has been
detected in the memslots, i.e. don't take the lock for notifications that
don't affect the guest.
For small VMs, spurious locking is a minor annoyance. And for "volatile"
setups where the majority of notifications _are_ relevant, this barely
qualifies as an optimization.
But, for large VMs (hundreds of threads) with static setups, e.g. no
page migration, no swapping, etc..., the vast majority of MMU notifier
callbacks will be unrelated to the guest, e.g. will often be in response
to the userspace VMM adjusting its own virtual address space. In such
large VMs, acquiring mmu_lock can be painful as it blocks vCPUs from
handling page faults. In some scenarios it can even be "fatal" in the
sense that it causes unacceptable brownouts, e.g. when rebuilding huge
pages after live migration, a significant percentage of vCPUs will be
attempting to handle page faults.
x86's TDP MMU implementation is especially susceptible to spurious
locking due it taking mmu_lock for read when handling page faults.
Because rwlock is fair, a single writer will stall future readers, while
the writer is itself stalled waiting for in-progress readers to complete.
This is exacerbated by the MMU notifiers often firing multiple times in
quick succession, e.g. moving a page will (always?) invoke three separate
notifiers: .invalidate_range_start(), invalidate_range_end(), and
.change_pte(). Unnecessarily taking mmu_lock each time means even a
single spurious sequence can be problematic.
Note, this optimizes only the unpaired callbacks. Optimizing the
.invalidate_range_{start,end}() pairs is more complex and will be done in
a future patch.

KVM: Stop processing *all* memslots when "null" mmu_notifier handler is found
Bail from outer address space loop, not just the inner memslot loop, when
a "null" handler is encountered by __kvm_handle_hva_range(), which is the
intended behavior. On x86, which has multiple address spaces thanks to
SMM emulation, breaking from just the memslot loop results in undefined
behavior due to assigning the non-existent return value from kvm_null_fn()
to a bool.
In practice, the bug is benign as kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
is the only caller that passes handler=kvm_null_fn, and it doesn't set
flush_on_ret, i.e. assigning garbage to r.ret is ultimately ignored. And
for most configuration the compiler elides the entire sequence, i.e. there
is no undefined behavior at runtime.

Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch
does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across
multiple architectures.
In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing
optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring
multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a
relevant range exists in the memslots.
The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by
x86, may also benefit other architectures.
Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU
and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks.
Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an
interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch
specific code.
MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches.

KVM: Avoid illegal stage2 mapping on invalid memory slot
We run into guest hang in edk2 firmware when KSM is kept as running on
the host. The edk2 firmware is waiting for status 0x80 from QEMU's pflash
device (TYPE_PFLASH_CFI01) during the operation of sector erasing or
buffered write. The status is returned by reading the memory region of
the pflash device and the read request should have been forwarded to QEMU
and emulated by it. Unfortunately, the read request is covered by an
illegal stage2 mapping when the guest hang issue occurs. The read request
is completed with QEMU bypassed and wrong status is fetched. The edk2
firmware runs into an infinite loop with the wrong status.
The illegal stage2 mapping is populated due to same page sharing by KSM
at (C) even the associated memory slot has been marked as invalid at (B)
when the memory slot is requested to be deleted. It's notable that the
active and inactive memory slots can't be swapped when we're in the middle
of kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte() because kvm->mn_active_invalidate_count
is elevated, and kvm_swap_active_memslots() will busy loop until it reaches
to zero again. Besides, the swapping from the active to the inactive memory
slots is also avoided by holding &kvm->srcu in __kvm_handle_hva_range(),
corresponding to synchronize_srcu_expedited() in kvm_swap_active_memslots().

:

Fix the issue by skipping the invalid memory slot at (C) to avoid the
illegal stage2 mapping so that the read request for the pflash's status
is forwarded to QEMU and emulated by it. In this way, the correct pflash's
status can be returned from QEMU to break the infinite loop in the edk2
firmware.
We tried a git-bisect and the first problematic commit is cd4c71835228 ("
KVM: arm64: Convert to the gfn-based MMU notifier callbacks"). With this,
clean_dcache_guest_page() is called after the memory slots are iterated
in kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte(). clean_dcache_guest_page() is called
before the iteration on the memory slots before this commit. This change
literally enlarges the racy window between kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte()
and memory slot removal so that we're able to reproduce the issue in a
practical test case. However, the issue exists since commit d5d8184d35c9
("KVM: ARM: Memory virtualization setup").

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: Move x86's MMU notifier memslot walkers to generic code
Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch
does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across
multiple architectures.
In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing
optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring
multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a
relevant range exists in the memslots.
The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by
x86, may also benefit other architectures.
Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU
and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks.
Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an
interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch
specific code.
MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches.

KVM: Block memslot updates across range_start() and range_end()
We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.12.0-rc3+ #6 Tainted: G OE
------------------------------------------------------
qemu-system-x86/3069 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff9c775ca0 (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end+0x5/0x190
but task is already holding lock:
ffffaff7410a9160 (&kvm->mmu_notifier_slots_lock){.+.+}-{3:3}, at: kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start+0x36d/0x4f0 [kvm]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
This corresponds to the following MMU notifier logic:
invalidate_range_start
take pseudo lock
down_read() (*)
release pseudo lock
invalidate_range_end
take pseudo lock (**)

KVM: Block memslot updates across range_start() and range_end()
We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".

KVM: Fix multiple races in gfn=>pfn cache refresh
Rework the gfn=>pfn cache (gpc) refresh logic to address multiple races
between the cache itself, and between the cache and mmu_notifier events.
The existing refresh code attempts to guard against races with the
mmu_notifier by speculatively marking the cache valid, and then marking
it invalid if a mmu_notifier invalidation occurs. That handles the case
where an invalidation occurs between dropping and re-acquiring gpc->lock,
but it doesn't handle the scenario where the cache is refreshed after the
cache was invalidated by the notifier, but before the notifier elevates
mmu_notifier_count. The gpc refresh can't use the "retry" helper as its
invalidation occurs _before_ mmu_notifier_count is elevated and before
mmu_notifier_range_start is set/updated.

mn_active_invalidate_count is not guaranteed to be stable, it is

so either the refresh will see an active invalidation and wait, or the
invalidation will run after the refresh completes.
Speculatively marking the cache valid is itself flawed, as a concurrent

can read a different vCPU (or vCPUs). Address this race by invalidating
the cache prior to dropping gpc->lock (this is made possible by fixing
the above mmu_notifier race).
Complicating all of this is the fact that both the hva=>pfn resolution
and mapping of the kernel address can sleep, i.e. must be done outside
of gpc->lock.
Fix the above races in one fell swoop, trying to fix each individual race
is largely pointless and essentially impossible to test, e.g. closing one
hole just shifts the focus to the other hole.

KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation support
This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.
For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.
Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.
Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.
This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.
As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

KVM: Harden against unpaired kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() calls
When handling the end of an mmu_notifier invalidation, WARN if
mn_active_invalidate_count is already 0 do not decrement it further, i.e.
avoid causing mn_active_invalidate_count to underflow/wrap. In the worst
case scenario, effectively corrupting mn_active_invalidate_count could
cause kvm_swap_active_memslots() to hang indefinitely.
end() calls are *supposed* to be paired with start(), i.e. underflow can
only happen if there is a bug elsewhere in the kernel, but due to lack of
lockdep assertions in the mmu_notifier helpers, it's all too easy for a
bug to go unnoticed for some time, e.g. see the recently introduced
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl().
Ideally, mmu_notifiers would incorporate lockdep assertions, but users of
mmu_notifiers aren't required to hold any one specific lock, i.e. adding
the necessary annotations to make lockdep aware of all locks that are
mutally exclusive with mm_take_all_locks() isn't trivial.

at point (**) we take the pseudo lock inside the mmu_notifiers_slots_lock.
This could cause a deadlock (ignoring for a second that the pseudo lock
is not a lock):
- invalidate_range_start waits on down_read(), because the rwsem is
held by install_new_memslots
- install_new_memslots waits on down_write(), because the rwsem is
held till (another) invalidate_range_end finishes
- invalidate_range_end sits waits on the pseudo lock, held by
invalidate_range_start.
Removing the fairness of the rwsem breaks the cycle (in lockdep terms,
it would change the *shared* rwsem readers into *shared recursive*
readers), so open-code the wait using a readers count and a
spinlock. This also allows handling blockable and non-blockable
critical section in the same way.
Losing the rwsem fairness does theoretically allow MMU notifiers to
block install_new_memslots forever. Note that mm/mmu_notifier.c's own
retry scheme in mmu_interval_read_begin also uses wait/wake_up
and is likewise not fair.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Block memslot updates across range_start() and range_end()
We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".

which lock already depends on the new lock.
This corresponds to the following MMU notifier logic:
invalidate_range_start

This could cause a deadlock (ignoring for a second that the pseudo lock
is not a lock):
- invalidate_range_start waits on down_read(), because the rwsem is
held by install_new_memslots
- install_new_memslots waits on down_write(), because the rwsem is
held till (another) invalidate_range_end finishes
- invalidate_range_end sits waits on the pseudo lock, held by
invalidate_range_start.
Removing the fairness of the rwsem breaks the cycle (in lockdep terms,
it would change the *shared* rwsem readers into *shared recursive*
readers), so open-code the wait using a readers count and a
spinlock. This also allows handling blockable and non-blockable
critical section in the same way.
Losing the rwsem fairness does theoretically allow MMU notifiers to
block install_new_memslots forever. Note that mm/mmu_notifier.c's own
retry scheme in mmu_interval_read_begin also uses wait/wake_up
and is likewise not fair.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation support
This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.
For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.
Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.
Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.
This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.
As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

KVM: Rename symbols related to enabling virtualization hardware
Rename the various functions (and a variable) that enable virtualization
to prepare for upcoming changes, and to clean up artifacts of KVM's
previous behavior, which required manually juggling locks around
kvm_usage_count.
Drop the "nolock" qualifier from per-CPU functions now that there are no
"nolock" implementations of the "all" variants, i.e. now that calling a
non-nolock function from a nolock function isn't confusing (unlike this
sentence).
Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate
over all CPUs, and because it might not be obvious what "all" refers to.
In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear
that they are KVM helpers, but mostly because there's no reason not to.
Lastly, use "virtualization" instead of "hardware", because while the
functions do enable virtualization in hardware, there are a _lot_ of
things that KVM enables in hardware.
Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the
amount of churn in a single commit.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Rename symbols related to enabling virtualization hardware
Rename the various functions (and a variable) that enable virtualization
to prepare for upcoming changes, and to clean up artifacts of KVM's
previous behavior, which required manually juggling locks around
kvm_usage_count.
Drop the "nolock" qualifier from per-CPU functions now that there are no
"nolock" implementations of the "all" variants, i.e. now that calling a
non-nolock function from a nolock function isn't confusing (unlike this
sentence).
Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate
over all CPUs, and because it might not be obvious what "all" refers to.
In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear
that they are KVM helpers, but mostly because there's no reason not to.
Lastly, use "virtualization" instead of "hardware", because while the
functions do enable virtualization in hardware, there are a _lot_ of
things that KVM enables in hardware.
Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the
amount of churn in a single commit.

KVM: Block memslot updates across range_start() and range_end()
We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".
======================================================

which lock already depends on the new lock.
This corresponds to the following MMU notifier logic:
invalidate_range_start
take pseudo lock
down_read() (*)
release pseudo lock

take pseudo lock (**)
up_read()

At point (*) we take the mmu_notifiers_slots_lock inside the pseudo lock;

This could cause a deadlock (ignoring for a second that the pseudo lock
is not a lock):
- invalidate_range_start waits on down_read(), because the rwsem is
held by install_new_memslots
- install_new_memslots waits on down_write(), because the rwsem is
held till (another) invalidate_range_end finishes
- invalidate_range_end sits waits on the pseudo lock, held by
invalidate_range_start.
Removing the fairness of the rwsem breaks the cycle (in lockdep terms,
it would change the *shared* rwsem readers into *shared recursive*
readers), so open-code the wait using a readers count and a
spinlock. This also allows handling blockable and non-blockable
critical section in the same way.
Losing the rwsem fairness does theoretically allow MMU notifiers to
block install_new_memslots forever. Note that mm/mmu_notifier.c's own
retry scheme in mmu_interval_read_begin also uses wait/wake_up
and is likewise not fair.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Rename symbols related to enabling virtualization hardware
Rename the various functions (and a variable) that enable virtualization
to prepare for upcoming changes, and to clean up artifacts of KVM's
previous behavior, which required manually juggling locks around
kvm_usage_count.
Drop the "nolock" qualifier from per-CPU functions now that there are no
"nolock" implementations of the "all" variants, i.e. now that calling a
non-nolock function from a nolock function isn't confusing (unlike this
sentence).
Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate
over all CPUs, and because it might not be obvious what "all" refers to.
In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear
that they are KVM helpers, but mostly because there's no reason not to.
Lastly, use "virtualization" instead of "hardware", because while the
functions do enable virtualization in hardware, there are a _lot_ of
things that KVM enables in hardware.
Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the
amount of churn in a single commit.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: x86: Disallow read-only memslots for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP (and TDX)
Disallow read-only memslots for SEV-{ES,SNP} VM types, as KVM can't
directly emulate instructions for ES/SNP, and instead the guest must
explicitly request emulation. Unless the guest explicitly requests
emulation without accessing memory, ES/SNP relies on KVM creating an MMIO
SPTE, with the subsequent #NPF being reflected into the guest as a #VC.
But for read-only memslots, KVM deliberately doesn't create MMIO SPTEs,
because except for ES/SNP, doing so requires setting reserved bits in the
SPTE, i.e. the SPTE can't be readable while also generating a #VC on
writes. Because KVM never creates MMIO SPTEs and jumps directly to
emulation, the guest never gets a #VC. And since KVM simply resumes the
guest if ES/SNP guests trigger emulation, KVM effectively puts the vCPU
into an infinite #NPF loop if the vCPU attempts to write read-only memory.
Disallow read-only memory for all VMs with protected state, i.e. for
upcoming TDX VMs as well as ES/SNP VMs. For TDX, it's actually possible
to support read-only memory, as TDX uses EPT Violation #VE to reflect the
fault into the guest, e.g. KVM could configure read-only SPTEs with RX
protections and SUPPRESS_VE=0. But there is no strong use case for
supporting read-only memslots on TDX, e.g. the main historical usage is
to emulate option ROMs, but TDX disallows executing from shared memory.
And if someone comes along with a legitimate, strong use case, the
restriction can always be lifted for TDX.
Don't bother trying to retroactively apply the restriction to SEV-ES
VMs that are created as type KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM. Read-only memslots can't
possibly work for SEV-ES, i.e. disallowing such memslots is really just
means reporting an error to userspace instead of silently hanging vCPUs.
Trying to deal with the ordering between KVM_SEV_INIT and memslot creation
isn't worth the marginal benefit it would provide userspace.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Explicitly define the "memslot update in-progress" bit
KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f1598d ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

KVM: Block memslot updates across range_start() and range_end()
We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

KVM: Free new dirty bitmap if creating a new memslot fails
Fix a goof in kvm_prepare_memory_region() where KVM fails to free the
new memslot's dirty bitmap during a CREATE action if
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() fails. The logic is supposed to detect
if the bitmap was allocated and thus needs to be freed, versus if the
bitmap was inherited from the old memslot and thus needs to be kept. If
there is no old memslot, then obviously the bitmap can't have been
inherited
The bug was exposed by commit 86931ff7207b ("KVM: x86/mmu: Do not create
SPTEs for GFNs that exceed host.MAXPHYADDR"), which made it trivally easy
for syzkaller to trigger failure during kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(),
but the bug can be hit other ways too, e.g. due to -ENOMEM when
allocating x86's memslot metadata.
The backtrace from kmemleak:

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

KVM: Require total number of memslot pages to fit in an unsigned long
Explicitly disallow creating more memslot pages than can fit in an
unsigned long, KVM doesn't correctly handle a total number of memslot
pages that doesn't fit in an unsigned long and remedying that would be a
waste of time.
For a 64-bit kernel, this is a nop as memslots are not allowed to overlap
in the gfn address space.
With a 32-bit kernel, userspace can at most address 3gb of virtual memory,
whereas wrapping the total number of pages would require 4tb+ of guest
physical memory. Even with x86's second address space for SMM, userspace
would need to alias all of guest memory more than one _thousand_ times.
And on older x86 hardware with MAXPHYADDR < 43, the guest couldn't
actually access any of those aliases even if userspace lied about
guest.MAXPHYADDR.
On 390 and arm64, this is a nop as they don't support 32-bit hosts.
On x86, practically speaking this is simply acknowledging reality as the
existing kvm_mmu_calculate_default_mmu_pages() assumes the total number
of pages fits in an "unsigned long".
On PPC, this is likely a nop as every flavor of PPC KVM assumes gfns (and
gpas!) fit in unsigned long. arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_32_mmu_host.c goes
a step further and fails the build if CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y, which
presumably means that it does't support 64-bit physical addresses.
On MIPS, this is also likely a nop as the core MMU helpers assume gpas
fit in unsigned long, e.g. see kvm_mips_##name##_pte.
And finally, RISC-V is a "don't care" as it doesn't exist in any release,
i.e. there is no established ABI to break.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.

KVM: Dynamically allocate "new" memslots from the get-go
Allocate the "new" memslot for !DELETE memslot updates straight away
instead of filling an intermediate on-stack object and forcing
kvm_set_memslot() to juggle the allocation and do weird things like reuse
the old memslot object in MOVE.
In the MOVE case, this results in an "extra" memslot allocation due to
allocating both the "new" slot and the "invalid" slot, but that's a
temporary and not-huge allocation, and MOVE is a relatively rare memslot
operation.
Regarding MOVE, drop the open-coded management of the gfn tree with a
call to kvm_replace_memslot(), which already handles the case where
new->base_gfn != old->base_gfn. This is made possible by virtue of not
having to copy the "new" memslot data after erasing the old memslot from
the gfn tree. Using kvm_replace_memslot(), and more specifically not
reusing the old memslot, means the MOVE case now does hva tree and hash
list updates, but that's a small price to pay for simplifying the code
and making MOVE align with all the other flavors of updates. The "extra"
updates are firmly in the noise from a performance perspective, e.g. the
"move (in)active area" selfttests show a (very, very) slight improvement.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Ensure validity of memslot with respect to kvm_get_dirty_log()
Rework kvm_get_dirty_log() so that it "returns" the associated memslot
on success. A future patch will rework memslot handling such that
id_to_memslot() can return NULL, returning the memslot makes it more
obvious that the validity of the memslot has been verified, i.e.
precludes the need to add validity checks in the arch code that are
technically unnecessary.
To maintain ordering in s390, move the call to kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log()
from s390's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() to the new kvm_get_dirty_log().
This is a nop for PPC, the only other arch that doesn't select
KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT, as its sync_dirty_log() is empty.
Ideally, moving the sync_dirty_log() call would be done in a separate
patch, but it can't be done in a follow-on patch because that would
temporarily break s390's ordering. Making the move in a preparatory
patch would be functionally correct, but would create an odd scenario
where the moved sync_dirty_log() would operate on a "different" memslot
due to consuming the result of a different id_to_memslot(). The
memslot couldn't actually be different as slots_lock is held, but the
code is confusing enough as it is, i.e. moving sync_dirty_log() in this
patch is the lesser of all evils.

precludes the need to add validity checks in the arch code that are
technically unnecessary.
To maintain ordering in s390, move the call to kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log()
from s390's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() to the new kvm_get_dirty_log().
This is a nop for PPC, the only other arch that doesn't select
KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT, as its sync_dirty_log() is empty.
Ideally, moving the sync_dirty_log() call would be done in a separate
patch, but it can't be done in a follow-on patch because that would
temporarily break s390's ordering. Making the move in a preparatory
patch would be functionally correct, but would create an odd scenario
where the moved sync_dirty_log() would operate on a "different" memslot
due to consuming the result of a different id_to_memslot(). The
memslot couldn't actually be different as slots_lock is held, but the
code is confusing enough as it is, i.e. moving sync_dirty_log() in this
patch is the lesser of all evils.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:

- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes

KVM: Add member to struct kvm_gfn_range to indicate private/shared
Add new members to strut kvm_gfn_range to indicate which mapping
(private-vs-shared) to operate on: enum kvm_gfn_range_filter
attr_filter. Update the core zapping operations to set them appropriately.
TDX utilizes two GPA aliases for the same memslots, one for memory that is
for private memory and one that is for shared. For private memory, KVM
cannot always perform the same operations it does on memory for default
VMs, such as zapping pages and having them be faulted back in, as this
requires guest coordination. However, some operations such as guest driven
conversion of memory between private and shared should zap private memory.
Internally to the MMU, private and shared mappings are tracked on separate
roots. Mapping and zapping operations will operate on the respective GFN
alias for each root (private or shared). So zapping operations will by
default zap both aliases. Add fields in struct kvm_gfn_range to allow
callers to specify which aliases so they can only target the aliases
appropriate for their specific operation.
There was feedback that target aliases should be specified such that the
default value (0) is to operate on both aliases. Several options were
considered. Several variations of having separate bools defined such
that the default behavior was to process both aliases. They either allowed
nonsensical configurations, or were confusing for the caller. A simple
enum was also explored and was close, but was hard to process in the
caller. Instead, use an enum with the default value (0) reserved as a
disallowed value. Catch ranges that didn't have the target aliases
specified by looking for that specific value.
Set target alias with enum appropriately for these MMU operations:
- For KVM's mmu notifier callbacks, zap shared pages only because private
pages won't have a userspace mapping
- For setting memory attributes, kvm_arch_pre_set_memory_attributes()
chooses the aliases based on the attribute.
- For guest_memfd invalidations, zap private only.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

KVM: Keep memslots in tree-based structures instead of array-based ones
The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.

on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Introduce kvm_follow_pfn() to eventually replace "gfn_to_pfn" APIs
Introduce kvm_follow_pfn() to eventually supplant the various "gfn_to_pfn"
APIs, albeit by adding more wrappers. The primary motivation of the new
helper is to pass a structure instead of an ever changing set of parameters,
e.g. so that tweaking the behavior, inputs, and/or outputs of the "to pfn"
helpers doesn't require churning half of KVM.
In the more distant future, the APIs exposed to arch code could also
follow suit, e.g. by adding something akin to x86's "struct kvm_page_fault"
when faulting in guest memory. But for now, the goal is purely to clean
up KVM's "internal" MMU code.
As part of the conversion, replace the write_fault, interruptible, and
no-wait boolean flags with FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE, and FOLL_NOWAIT
respectively. Collecting the various FOLL_* flags into a single field
will again ease the pain of passing new flags.

KVM: Introduce kvm_follow_pfn() to eventually replace "gfn_to_pfn" APIs
Introduce kvm_follow_pfn() to eventually supplant the various "gfn_to_pfn"
APIs, albeit by adding more wrappers. The primary motivation of the new
helper is to pass a structure instead of an ever changing set of parameters,
e.g. so that tweaking the behavior, inputs, and/or outputs of the "to pfn"
helpers doesn't require churning half of KVM.
In the more distant future, the APIs exposed to arch code could also
follow suit, e.g. by adding something akin to x86's "struct kvm_page_fault"
when faulting in guest memory. But for now, the goal is purely to clean
up KVM's "internal" MMU code.
As part of the conversion, replace the write_fault, interruptible, and
no-wait boolean flags with FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE, and FOLL_NOWAIT
respectively. Collecting the various FOLL_* flags into a single field
will again ease the pain of passing new flags.

KVM: Drop extra GUP (via check_user_page_hwpoison()) to detect poisoned page
Remove check_user_page_hwpoison() as it's effectively dead code. Prior to
commit 234b239bea39 ("kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem"),
hva_to_pfn_slow() wasn't actually a slow path in all cases, i.e. would do
get_user_pages_fast() without ever doing slow GUP with FOLL_HWPOISON.
Now that hva_to_pfn_slow() is a straight shot to get_user_pages_unlocked(),
and unconditionally passes FOLL_HWPOISON, it is impossible for hva_to_pfn()
to get an -errno that needs to be morphed to -EHWPOISON.
There are essentially four cases in KVM:
- npages == 0, then FOLL_NOWAIT, a.k.a. @async, must be true, and thus
check_user_page_hwpoison() will not be called
- npages == 1 || npages == -EHWPOISON, all good
- npages == -EINTR || npages == -EAGAIN, bail early, all good
- everything else, including -EFAULT, can go down the vma_lookup() path,
as npages < 0 means KVM went through hva_to_pfn_slow() which passes
FOLL_HWPOISON

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Use vCPU specific memslots in __kvm_vcpu_map()
When establishing a "host access map", lookup the gfn in the vCPU specific
memslots, as the intent is that the mapping will be established for the
current vCPU context. Specifically, using __kvm_vcpu_map() in x86's SMM
context should create mappings based on the SMM memslots, not the non-SMM
memslots.
Luckily, the bug is benign as x86 is the only architecture with multiple
memslot address spaces, and all of x86's usage is limited to non-SMM. The
calls in (or reachable by) {svm,vmx}_enter_smm() are made before
enter_smm() sets HF_SMM_MASK, and the calls in {svm,vmx}_leave_smm() are
made after emulator_leave_smm() clears HF_SMM_MASK.
Note, kvm_vcpu_unmap() uses the vCPU specific memslots, only the map() side
of things is broken.
Fixes: 357a18ad230f ("KVM: Kill kvm_map_gfn() / kvm_unmap_gfn() and gfn_to_pfn_cache")

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Push dirty information unconditionally to backup bitmap
In mark_page_dirty_in_slot(), we bail out when no running vcpu exists
and a running vcpu context is strictly required by architecture. It may
cause backwards compatible issue. Currently, saving vgic/its tables is
the only known case where no running vcpu context is expected. We may
have other unknown cases where no running vcpu context exists and it's
reported by the warning message and we bail out without pushing the
dirty information to the backup bitmap. For this, the application is
going to enable the backup bitmap for the unknown cases. However, the
dirty information can't be pushed to the backup bitmap even though the
backup bitmap is enabled for those unknown cases in the application,
until the unknown cases are added to the allowed list of non-running
vcpu context with extra code changes to the host kernel.
In order to make the new application, where the backup bitmap has been
enabled, to work with the unchanged host, we continue to push the dirty
information to the backup bitmap instead of bailing out early. With the
added check on 'memslot->dirty_bitmap' to mark_page_dirty_in_slot(), the
kernel crash is avoided silently by the combined conditions: no running
vcpu context, kvm_arch_allow_write_without_running_vcpu() returns 'true',
and the backup bitmap (KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP) isn't enabled
yet.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC

a smaller variance.

kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and

KVM: Don't block+unblock when halt-polling is successful
Invoke the arch hooks for block+unblock if and only if KVM actually
attempts to block the vCPU. The only non-nop implementation is on x86,
specifically SVM's AVIC, and there is no need to put the AVIC prior to
halt-polling; KVM x86's kvm_vcpu_has_events() will scour the full vIRR
to find pending IRQs regardless of whether the AVIC is loaded/"running".
The primary motivation is to allow future cleanup to split out "block"
from "halt", but this is also likely a small performance boost on x86 SVM
when halt-polling is successful.
Adjust the post-block path to update "cur" after unblocking, i.e. include
AVIC load time in halt_wait_ns and halt_wait_hist, so that the behavior
is consistent. Moving just the pre-block arch hook would result in only
the AVIC put latency being included in the halt_wait stats. There is no
obvious evidence that one way or the other is correct, so just ensure KVM
is consistent.
Note, x86 has two separate paths for handling APICv with respect to vCPU
blocking. VMX uses hooks in x86's vcpu_block(), while SVM uses the arch
hooks in kvm_vcpu_block(). Prior to this path, the two paths were more
or less functionally identical. That is very much not the case after
this patch, as the hooks used by VMX _must_ fire before halt-polling.
x86's entire mess will be cleaned up in future patches.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:

KVM: Clean up benign vcpu->cpu data races when kicking vCPUs
Fix a benign data race reported by syzbot+KCSAN[*] by ensuring vcpu->cpu
is read exactly once, and by ensuring the vCPU is booted from guest mode
if kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() returns true. Fix a similar race in
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() by ensuring the vCPU is interrupted if
kvm_request_needs_ipi() returns true.
Reading vcpu->cpu before vcpu->mode (via kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() or
kvm_request_needs_ipi()) means the target vCPU could get migrated (change
vcpu->cpu) and enter !OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE between reading vcpu->cpud and
reading vcpu->mode. If that happens, the kick/IPI will be sent to the
old pCPU, not the new pCPU that is now running the vCPU or reading SPTEs.
Although failing to kick the vCPU is not exactly ideal, practically
speaking it cannot cause a functional issue unless there is also a bug in
the caller, and any such bug would exist regardless of kvm_vcpu_kick()'s
behavior.
The purpose of sending an IPI is purely to get a vCPU into the host (or
out of reading SPTEs) so that the vCPU can recognize a change in state,
e.g. a KVM_REQ_* request. If vCPU's handling of the state change is
required for correctness, KVM must ensure either the vCPU sees the change
before entering the guest, or that the sender sees the vCPU as running in
guest mode. All architectures handle this by (a) sending the request
before calling kvm_vcpu_kick() and (b) checking for requests _after_
setting vcpu->mode.
x86's READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES has similar requirements; KVM needs to
ensure it kicks and waits for vCPUs that started reading SPTEs _before_
MMU changes were finalized, but any vCPU that starts reading after MMU
changes were finalized will see the new state and can continue on
uninterrupted.
For uses of kvm_vcpu_kick() that are not paired with a KVM_REQ_*, e.g.
x86's kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log(), the order of the kick must not be relied
upon for functional correctness, e.g. in the dirty log case, userspace
cannot assume it has a 100% complete log if vCPUs are still running.
All that said, eliminate the benign race since the cost of doing so is an
"extra" atomic cmpxchg() in the case where the target vCPU is loaded by
the current pCPU or is not loaded at all. I.e. the kick will be skipped
due to kvm_vcpu_exiting_guest_mode() seeing a compatible vcpu->mode as
opposed to the kick being skipped because of the cpu checks.
Keep the "cpu != me" checks even though they appear useless/impossible at
first glance. x86 processes guest IPI writes in a fast path that runs in
IN_GUEST_MODE, i.e. can call kvm_vcpu_kick() from IN_GUEST_MODE. And
calling kvm_vm_bugged()->kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() from IN_GUEST or
READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES is perfectly reasonable.
Note, a race with the cpu_online() check in kvm_vcpu_kick() likely
persists, e.g. the vCPU could exit guest mode and get offlined between
the cpu_online() check and the sending of smp_send_reschedule(). But,
the online check appears to exist only to avoid a WARN in x86's
native_smp_send_reschedule() that fires if the target CPU is not online.
The reschedule WARN exists because CPU offlining takes the CPU out of the
scheduling pool, i.e. the WARN is intended to detect the case where the
kernel attempts to schedule a task on an offline CPU. The actual sending
of the IPI is a non-issue as at worst it will simpy be dropped on the
floor. In other words, KVM's usurping of the reschedule IPI could
theoretically trigger a WARN if the stars align, but there will be no
loss of functionality.

KVM: Clean up benign vcpu->cpu data races when kicking vCPUs
Fix a benign data race reported by syzbot+KCSAN[*] by ensuring vcpu->cpu
is read exactly once, and by ensuring the vCPU is booted from guest mode
if kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() returns true. Fix a similar race in
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() by ensuring the vCPU is interrupted if
kvm_request_needs_ipi() returns true.
Reading vcpu->cpu before vcpu->mode (via kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() or
kvm_request_needs_ipi()) means the target vCPU could get migrated (change
vcpu->cpu) and enter !OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE between reading vcpu->cpud and
reading vcpu->mode. If that happens, the kick/IPI will be sent to the
old pCPU, not the new pCPU that is now running the vCPU or reading SPTEs.
Although failing to kick the vCPU is not exactly ideal, practically
speaking it cannot cause a functional issue unless there is also a bug in
the caller, and any such bug would exist regardless of kvm_vcpu_kick()'s
behavior.
The purpose of sending an IPI is purely to get a vCPU into the host (or
out of reading SPTEs) so that the vCPU can recognize a change in state,
e.g. a KVM_REQ_* request. If vCPU's handling of the state change is
required for correctness, KVM must ensure either the vCPU sees the change
before entering the guest, or that the sender sees the vCPU as running in
guest mode. All architectures handle this by (a) sending the request
before calling kvm_vcpu_kick() and (b) checking for requests _after_
setting vcpu->mode.
x86's READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES has similar requirements; KVM needs to
ensure it kicks and waits for vCPUs that started reading SPTEs _before_
MMU changes were finalized, but any vCPU that starts reading after MMU
changes were finalized will see the new state and can continue on
uninterrupted.
For uses of kvm_vcpu_kick() that are not paired with a KVM_REQ_*, e.g.
x86's kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log(), the order of the kick must not be relied
upon for functional correctness, e.g. in the dirty log case, userspace
cannot assume it has a 100% complete log if vCPUs are still running.
All that said, eliminate the benign race since the cost of doing so is an
"extra" atomic cmpxchg() in the case where the target vCPU is loaded by
the current pCPU or is not loaded at all. I.e. the kick will be skipped
due to kvm_vcpu_exiting_guest_mode() seeing a compatible vcpu->mode as
opposed to the kick being skipped because of the cpu checks.
Keep the "cpu != me" checks even though they appear useless/impossible at
first glance. x86 processes guest IPI writes in a fast path that runs in
IN_GUEST_MODE, i.e. can call kvm_vcpu_kick() from IN_GUEST_MODE. And
calling kvm_vm_bugged()->kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() from IN_GUEST or
READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES is perfectly reasonable.
Note, a race with the cpu_online() check in kvm_vcpu_kick() likely
persists, e.g. the vCPU could exit guest mode and get offlined between
the cpu_online() check and the sending of smp_send_reschedule(). But,
the online check appears to exist only to avoid a WARN in x86's
native_smp_send_reschedule() that fires if the target CPU is not online.
The reschedule WARN exists because CPU offlining takes the CPU out of the
scheduling pool, i.e. the WARN is intended to detect the case where the
kernel attempts to schedule a task on an offline CPU. The actual sending
of the IPI is a non-issue as at worst it will simpy be dropped on the
floor. In other words, KVM's usurping of the reschedule IPI could
theoretically trigger a WARN if the stars align, but there will be no
loss of functionality.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.
Fixes: 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations"")
Fixes: 3bcd0662d66f ("KVM: X86: Introduce mmu_rmaps_stat per-vm debugfs file")

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

kvm: embed vcpu id to dentry of vcpu anon inode
All d-entries for vcpu have the same, "anon_inode:kvm-vcpu". That means
it is impossible to know the mapping between fds for vcpu and vcpu
from userland.
# LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan 7 16:50 18 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan 7 16:50 19 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
It is also impossible to know the mapping between vma for kvm_run
structure and vcpu from userland.
# LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393 anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393 anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
This change adds vcpu id to d-entries for vcpu. With this change
you can get the following output:
# LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan 7 16:50 18 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan 7 16:50 19 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1
# LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393 anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393 anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1
With the mappings known from the output, a tool like strace can report more details
of qemu-kvm process activities. Here is the strace output of my local prototype:
# ./strace -KK -f -p 617 2>&1 | grep 'KVM_RUN\| K'
...
[pid 664] ioctl(18, KVM_RUN, 0) = 0 (KVM_EXIT_MMIO)

KVM: Fix vcpu_array[0] races
In kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu(), add vcpu to vcpu_array iff it's safe to
access vcpu via kvm_get_vcpu() and kvm_for_each_vcpu(), i.e. when there's
no failure path requiring vcpu removal and destruction. Such order is
important because vcpu_array accessors may end up referencing vcpu at
vcpu_array[0] even before online_vcpus is set to 1.
When online_vcpus=0, any call to kvm_get_vcpu() goes through
array_index_nospec() and ends with an attempt to xa_load(vcpu_array, 0):
int num_vcpus = atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus);
i = array_index_nospec(i, num_vcpus);
return xa_load(&kvm->vcpu_array, i);
Similarly, when online_vcpus=0, a kvm_for_each_vcpu() does not iterate over
an "empty" range, but actually [0, ULONG_MAX]:
xa_for_each_range(&kvm->vcpu_array, idx, vcpup, 0, \
(atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus) - 1))
In both cases, such online_vcpus=0 edge case, even if leading to
unnecessary calls to XArray API, should not be an issue; requesting
unpopulated indexes/ranges is handled by xa_load() and xa_for_each_range().
However, this means that when the first vCPU is created and inserted in
vcpu_array *and* before online_vcpus is incremented, code calling
kvm_get_vcpu()/kvm_for_each_vcpu() already has access to that first vCPU.
This should not pose a problem assuming that once a vcpu is stored in
vcpu_array, it will remain there, but that's not the case:
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() first inserts to vcpu_array, then requests a
file descriptor. If create_vcpu_fd() fails, newly inserted vcpu is removed
from the vcpu_array, then destroyed:
vcpu->vcpu_idx = atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus);
r = xa_insert(&kvm->vcpu_array, vcpu->vcpu_idx, vcpu, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
kvm_get_kvm(kvm);
r = create_vcpu_fd(vcpu);
if (r < 0) {
xa_erase(&kvm->vcpu_array, vcpu->vcpu_idx);
kvm_put_kvm_no_destroy(kvm);
goto unlock_vcpu_destroy;
}
atomic_inc(&kvm->online_vcpus);
This results in a possible race condition when a reference to a vcpu is
acquired (via kvm_get_vcpu() or kvm_for_each_vcpu()) moments before said
vcpu is destroyed.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Portability: split kvm_vcpu_ioctl
This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under

probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.

- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's

KVM: Portability: split kvm_vcpu_ioctl
This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.
Fixes: 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations"")
Fixes: 3bcd0662d66f ("KVM: X86: Introduce mmu_rmaps_stat per-vm debugfs file")

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

KVM: fix bad user ABI for KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT
When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags
member that at the time was unused. Unfortunately this extensibility
mechanism has several issues:
- x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it
on x86 except for new events
- the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the
uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace. This is a
problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately
usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18.
Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there
that tells if the flags field is valid. To allow further extensibility,
in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many
of the values are valid. The availability of the new ndata field
is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to
fill in the field.
To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags
field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0].
The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit
userspace.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.
Fixes: 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations"")
Fixes: 3bcd0662d66f ("KVM: X86: Introduce mmu_rmaps_stat per-vm debugfs file")

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

KVM: add ioeventfd support
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

kvm: Fix irq route entries exceeding KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES
These days, we experienced one guest crash with 8 cores and 3 disks,
with qemu error logs as bellow:
qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-2.0.0/kvm-all.c:984:
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: Assertion `ret == 0' failed.
And then we found one patch(bdf026317d) in qemu tree, which said
could fix this bug.
Execute the following script will reproduce the BUG quickly:
irq_affinity.sh
========================================================================
vda_irq_num=25
vdb_irq_num=27
while [ 1 ]
do
for irq in {1,2,4,8,10,20,40,80}
do
echo $irq > /proc/irq/$vda_irq_num/smp_affinity
echo $irq > /proc/irq/$vdb_irq_num/smp_affinity
dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
dd if=/dev/vdb of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
done
done
========================================================================
The following qemu log is added in the qemu code and is displayed when
this bug reproduced:
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: max gsi: 1008, nr_allocated_irq_routes: 1024,
irq_routes->nr: 1024, gsi_count: 1024.
That's to say when irq_routes->nr == 1024, there are 1024 routing entries,
but in the kernel code when routes->nr >= 1024, will just return -EINVAL;
The nr is the number of the routing entries which is in of
[1 ~ KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES], not the index in [0 ~ KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES - 1].
This patch fix the BUG above.

KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes
In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.
Fixes: 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations"")
Fixes: 3bcd0662d66f ("KVM: X86: Introduce mmu_rmaps_stat per-vm debugfs file")

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Add a module param to allow enabling virtualization when KVM is loaded
Add an on-by-default module param, enable_virt_at_load, to let userspace
force virtualization to be enabled in hardware when KVM is initialized,
i.e. just before /dev/kvm is exposed to userspace. Enabling virtualization
during KVM initialization allows userspace to avoid the additional latency
when creating/destroying the first/last VM (or more specifically, on the
0=>1 and 1=>0 edges of creation/destruction).
Now that KVM uses the cpuhp framework to do per-CPU enabling, the latency
could be non-trivial as the cpuhup bringup/teardown is serialized across
CPUs, e.g. the latency could be problematic for use case that need to spin
up VMs quickly.
Prior to commit 10474ae8945c ("KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand"),
KVM _unconditionally_ enabled virtualization during load, i.e. there's no
fundamental reason KVM needs to dynamically toggle virtualization. These
days, the only known argument for not enabling virtualization is to allow
KVM to be autoloaded without blocking other out-of-tree hypervisors, and
such use cases can simply change the module param, e.g. via command line.
Note, the aforementioned commit also mentioned that enabling SVM (AMD's
virtualization extensions) can result in "using invalid TLB entries".
It's not clear whether the changelog was referring to a KVM bug, a CPU
bug, or something else entirely. Regardless, leaving virtualization off
by default is not a robust "fix", as any protection provided is lost the
instant userspace creates the first VM.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Rename symbols related to enabling virtualization hardware
Rename the various functions (and a variable) that enable virtualization
to prepare for upcoming changes, and to clean up artifacts of KVM's
previous behavior, which required manually juggling locks around
kvm_usage_count.
Drop the "nolock" qualifier from per-CPU functions now that there are no
"nolock" implementations of the "all" variants, i.e. now that calling a
non-nolock function from a nolock function isn't confusing (unlike this
sentence).
Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate
over all CPUs, and because it might not be obvious what "all" refers to.
In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear
that they are KVM helpers, but mostly because there's no reason not to.
Lastly, use "virtualization" instead of "hardware", because while the
functions do enable virtualization in hardware, there are a _lot_ of
things that KVM enables in hardware.
Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the
amount of churn in a single commit.

KVM: Use dedicated mutex to protect kvm_usage_count to avoid deadlock
Use a dedicated mutex to guard kvm_usage_count to fix a potential deadlock
on x86 due to a chain of locks and SRCU synchronizations. Translating the
below lockdep splat, CPU1 #6 will wait on CPU0 #1, CPU0 #8 will wait on
CPU2 #3, and CPU2 #7 will wait on CPU1 #4 (if there's a writer, due to the
fairness of r/w semaphores).
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
1 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
2 lock(&vcpu->mutex);
3 lock(&kvm->srcu);
4 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
5 lock(kvm_lock);
6 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
7 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
8 sync(&kvm->srcu);
Note, there are likely more potential deadlocks in KVM x86, e.g. the same
pattern of taking cpu_hotplug_lock outside of kvm_lock likely exists with
__kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier():
cpuhp_cpufreq_online()
|
-> cpufreq_online()
|
-> cpufreq_gov_performance_limits()
|
-> __cpufreq_driver_target()
|
-> __target_index()
|
-> cpufreq_freq_transition_begin()
|
-> cpufreq_notify_transition()
|
-> ... __kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier()
But, actually triggering such deadlocks is beyond rare due to the
combination of dependencies and timings involved. E.g. the cpufreq
notifier is only used on older CPUs without a constant TSC, mucking with
the NX hugepage mitigation while VMs are running is very uncommon, and
doing so while also onlining/offlining a CPU (necessary to generate
contention on cpu_hotplug_lock) would be even more unusual.
The most robust solution to the general cpu_hotplug_lock issue is likely
to switch vm_list to be an RCU-protected list, e.g. so that x86's cpufreq
notifier doesn't to take kvm_lock. For now, settle for fixing the most
blatant deadlock, as switching to an RCU-protected list is a much more
involved change, but add a comment in locking.rst to call out that care
needs to be taken when walking holding kvm_lock and walking vm_list.

Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate

In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear

Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the

KVM: Make hardware_enable_failed a local variable in the "enable all" path
Rework detecting hardware enabling errors to use a local variable in the
"enable all" path to track whether or not enabling was successful across
all CPUs. Using a global variable complicates paths that enable hardware
only on the current CPU, e.g. kvm_resume() and kvm_online_cpu().
Opportunistically add a WARN if hardware enabling fails during
kvm_resume(), KVM is all kinds of hosed if CPU0 fails to enable hardware.
The WARN is largely futile in the current code, as KVM BUG()s on spurious
faults on VMX instructions, e.g. attempting to run a vCPU on CPU if
hardware enabling fails will explode.

KVM: Use dedicated mutex to protect kvm_usage_count to avoid deadlock
Use a dedicated mutex to guard kvm_usage_count to fix a potential deadlock
on x86 due to a chain of locks and SRCU synchronizations. Translating the
below lockdep splat, CPU1 #6 will wait on CPU0 #1, CPU0 #8 will wait on
CPU2 #3, and CPU2 #7 will wait on CPU1 #4 (if there's a writer, due to the
fairness of r/w semaphores).
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
1 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
2 lock(&vcpu->mutex);
3 lock(&kvm->srcu);
4 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
5 lock(kvm_lock);
6 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
7 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
8 sync(&kvm->srcu);
Note, there are likely more potential deadlocks in KVM x86, e.g. the same
pattern of taking cpu_hotplug_lock outside of kvm_lock likely exists with
__kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier():
cpuhp_cpufreq_online()
|
-> cpufreq_online()
|
-> cpufreq_gov_performance_limits()
|
-> __cpufreq_driver_target()
|
-> __target_index()
|
-> cpufreq_freq_transition_begin()
|
-> cpufreq_notify_transition()
|
-> ... __kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier()
But, actually triggering such deadlocks is beyond rare due to the
combination of dependencies and timings involved. E.g. the cpufreq
notifier is only used on older CPUs without a constant TSC, mucking with
the NX hugepage mitigation while VMs are running is very uncommon, and
doing so while also onlining/offlining a CPU (necessary to generate
contention on cpu_hotplug_lock) would be even more unusual.
The most robust solution to the general cpu_hotplug_lock issue is likely
to switch vm_list to be an RCU-protected list, e.g. so that x86's cpufreq
notifier doesn't to take kvm_lock. For now, settle for fixing the most
blatant deadlock, as switching to an RCU-protected list is a much more
involved change, but add a comment in locking.rst to call out that care
needs to be taken when walking holding kvm_lock and walking vm_list.

KVM: Use dedicated mutex to protect kvm_usage_count to avoid deadlock
Use a dedicated mutex to guard kvm_usage_count to fix a potential deadlock
on x86 due to a chain of locks and SRCU synchronizations. Translating the
below lockdep splat, CPU1 #6 will wait on CPU0 #1, CPU0 #8 will wait on
CPU2 #3, and CPU2 #7 will wait on CPU1 #4 (if there's a writer, due to the
fairness of r/w semaphores).
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
1 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
2 lock(&vcpu->mutex);
3 lock(&kvm->srcu);
4 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
5 lock(kvm_lock);
6 lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
7 lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
8 sync(&kvm->srcu);
Note, there are likely more potential deadlocks in KVM x86, e.g. the same
pattern of taking cpu_hotplug_lock outside of kvm_lock likely exists with
__kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier():

|

KVM: Rename symbols related to enabling virtualization hardware
Rename the various functions (and a variable) that enable virtualization
to prepare for upcoming changes, and to clean up artifacts of KVM's
previous behavior, which required manually juggling locks around
kvm_usage_count.
Drop the "nolock" qualifier from per-CPU functions now that there are no
"nolock" implementations of the "all" variants, i.e. now that calling a
non-nolock function from a nolock function isn't confusing (unlike this
sentence).
Drop "all" from the outer helpers as they no longer manually iterate
over all CPUs, and because it might not be obvious what "all" refers to.
In lieu of the above qualifiers, append "_cpu" to the end of the functions
that are per-CPU helpers for the outer APIs.
Opportunistically prepend "kvm" to all functions to help make it clear
that they are KVM helpers, but mostly because there's no reason not to.
Lastly, use "virtualization" instead of "hardware", because while the
functions do enable virtualization in hardware, there are a _lot_ of
things that KVM enables in hardware.
Defer renaming the arch hooks to future patches, purely to reduce the
amount of churn in a single commit.

KVM: Add a module param to allow enabling virtualization when KVM is loaded
Add an on-by-default module param, enable_virt_at_load, to let userspace
force virtualization to be enabled in hardware when KVM is initialized,
i.e. just before /dev/kvm is exposed to userspace. Enabling virtualization
during KVM initialization allows userspace to avoid the additional latency
when creating/destroying the first/last VM (or more specifically, on the
0=>1 and 1=>0 edges of creation/destruction).
Now that KVM uses the cpuhp framework to do per-CPU enabling, the latency
could be non-trivial as the cpuhup bringup/teardown is serialized across
CPUs, e.g. the latency could be problematic for use case that need to spin
up VMs quickly.
Prior to commit 10474ae8945c ("KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand"),
KVM _unconditionally_ enabled virtualization during load, i.e. there's no
fundamental reason KVM needs to dynamically toggle virtualization. These
days, the only known argument for not enabling virtualization is to allow
KVM to be autoloaded without blocking other out-of-tree hypervisors, and
such use cases can simply change the module param, e.g. via command line.
Note, the aforementioned commit also mentioned that enabling SVM (AMD's
virtualization extensions) can result in "using invalid TLB entries".
It's not clear whether the changelog was referring to a KVM bug, a CPU
bug, or something else entirely. Regardless, leaving virtualization off
by default is not a robust "fix", as any protection provided is lost the
instant userspace creates the first VM.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M
vanilla boosting improved
1VM 21443 23520 9%
2VM 2800 8000 180%

KVM: Add a flag to track if a loaded vCPU is scheduled out
Add a kvm_vcpu.scheduled_out flag to track if a vCPU is in the process of
being scheduled out (vCPU put path), or if the vCPU is being reloaded
after being scheduled out (vCPU load path). In the short term, this will
allow dropping kvm_arch_sched_in(), as arch code can query scheduled_out
during kvm_arch_vcpu_load().
Longer term, scheduled_out opens up other potential optimizations, without
creating subtle/brittle dependencies. E.g. it allows KVM to keep guest
state (that is managed via kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}()) loaded across
kvm_sched_{out,in}(), if KVM knows the state isn't accessed by the host
kernel. Forcing arch code to coordinate between kvm_arch_sched_{in,out}()
and kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}() is awkward, not reusable, and relies on the
exact ordering of calls into arch code.
Adding scheduled_out also obviates the need for a kvm_arch_sched_out()
hook, e.g. if arch code needs to do something novel when putting vCPU
state.
And even if KVM never uses scheduled_out for anything beyond dropping
kvm_arch_sched_in(), just being able to remove all of the arch stubs makes
it worth adding the flag.

KVM: Add a flag to track if a loaded vCPU is scheduled out
Add a kvm_vcpu.scheduled_out flag to track if a vCPU is in the process of
being scheduled out (vCPU put path), or if the vCPU is being reloaded
after being scheduled out (vCPU load path). In the short term, this will
allow dropping kvm_arch_sched_in(), as arch code can query scheduled_out
during kvm_arch_vcpu_load().
Longer term, scheduled_out opens up other potential optimizations, without
creating subtle/brittle dependencies. E.g. it allows KVM to keep guest
state (that is managed via kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}()) loaded across
kvm_sched_{out,in}(), if KVM knows the state isn't accessed by the host
kernel. Forcing arch code to coordinate between kvm_arch_sched_{in,out}()
and kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}() is awkward, not reusable, and relies on the
exact ordering of calls into arch code.
Adding scheduled_out also obviates the need for a kvm_arch_sched_out()
hook, e.g. if arch code needs to do something novel when putting vCPU
state.
And even if KVM never uses scheduled_out for anything beyond dropping
kvm_arch_sched_in(), just being able to remove all of the arch stubs makes
it worth adding the flag.

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M
vanilla boosting improved
1VM 21443 23520 9%
2VM 2800 8000 180%

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

perf/x86/core: Register a new vector for handling mediated guest PMIs
Wire up system vector 0xf5 for handling PMIs (i.e. interrupts delivered
through the LVTPC) while running KVM guests with a mediated PMU. Perf
currently delivers all PMIs as NMIs, e.g. so that events that trigger while
IRQs are disabled aren't delayed and generate useless records, but due to
the multiplexing of NMIs throughout the system, correctly identifying NMIs
for a mediated PMU is practically infeasible.
To (greatly) simplify identifying guest mediated PMU PMIs, perf will
switch the CPU's LVTPC between PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR and NMI when
guest PMU context is loaded/put. I.e. PMIs that are generated by the CPU
while the guest is active will be identified purely based on the IRQ
vector.
Route the vector through perf, e.g. as opposed to letting KVM attach a
handler directly a la posted interrupt notification vectors, as perf owns
the LVTPC and thus is the rightful owner of PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR.
Functionally, having KVM directly own the vector would be fine (both KVM
and perf will be completely aware of when a mediated PMU is active), but
would lead to an undesirable split in ownership: perf would be responsible
for installing the vector, but not handling the resulting IRQs.
Add a new perf_guest_info_callbacks hook (and static call) to allow KVM to
register its handler with perf when running guests with mediated PMUs.
Note, because KVM always runs guests with host IRQs enabled, there is no
danger of a PMI being delayed from the guest's perspective due to using a
regular IRQ instead of an NMI.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory
Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

KVM: Add a module param to allow enabling virtualization when KVM is loaded
Add an on-by-default module param, enable_virt_at_load, to let userspace
force virtualization to be enabled in hardware when KVM is initialized,
i.e. just before /dev/kvm is exposed to userspace. Enabling virtualization
during KVM initialization allows userspace to avoid the additional latency
when creating/destroying the first/last VM (or more specifically, on the
0=>1 and 1=>0 edges of creation/destruction).
Now that KVM uses the cpuhp framework to do per-CPU enabling, the latency
could be non-trivial as the cpuhup bringup/teardown is serialized across
CPUs, e.g. the latency could be problematic for use case that need to spin
up VMs quickly.
Prior to commit 10474ae8945c ("KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand"),
KVM _unconditionally_ enabled virtualization during load, i.e. there's no
fundamental reason KVM needs to dynamically toggle virtualization. These
days, the only known argument for not enabling virtualization is to allow
KVM to be autoloaded without blocking other out-of-tree hypervisors, and
such use cases can simply change the module param, e.g. via command line.
Note, the aforementioned commit also mentioned that enabling SVM (AMD's
virtualization extensions) can result in "using invalid TLB entries".
It's not clear whether the changelog was referring to a KVM bug, a CPU
bug, or something else entirely. Regardless, leaving virtualization off
by default is not a robust "fix", as any protection provided is lost the
instant userspace creates the first VM.

KVM: Allow not-present guest page faults to bypass kvm
There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm:
- host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install
the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits
- guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects
the fault back into the guest to handle
The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead. We can eliminate
some of it on vmx using the following evil trick:
- when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte
is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present
- if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also
set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte
- tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear
With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest,
bypassing kvm entirely.
Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a
way to discriminate among page faults based on error code. It is also
a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved
in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it.

that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM: Add a module param to allow enabling virtualization when KVM is loaded
Add an on-by-default module param, enable_virt_at_load, to let userspace
force virtualization to be enabled in hardware when KVM is initialized,
i.e. just before /dev/kvm is exposed to userspace. Enabling virtualization
during KVM initialization allows userspace to avoid the additional latency
when creating/destroying the first/last VM (or more specifically, on the
0=>1 and 1=>0 edges of creation/destruction).
Now that KVM uses the cpuhp framework to do per-CPU enabling, the latency
could be non-trivial as the cpuhup bringup/teardown is serialized across
CPUs, e.g. the latency could be problematic for use case that need to spin
up VMs quickly.
Prior to commit 10474ae8945c ("KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand"),
KVM _unconditionally_ enabled virtualization during load, i.e. there's no
fundamental reason KVM needs to dynamically toggle virtualization. These
days, the only known argument for not enabling virtualization is to allow
KVM to be autoloaded without blocking other out-of-tree hypervisors, and
such use cases can simply change the module param, e.g. via command line.
Note, the aforementioned commit also mentioned that enabling SVM (AMD's
virtualization extensions) can result in "using invalid TLB entries".
It's not clear whether the changelog was referring to a KVM bug, a CPU
bug, or something else entirely. Regardless, leaving virtualization off
by default is not a robust "fix", as any protection provided is lost the
instant userspace creates the first VM.
