KVM: X86: Introduce KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercall

2021-06-17T18:25:39Z

This hypercall is used by the SEV guest to notify a change in the page encryption status to the hypervisor. The hypercall should be invoked only when the encryption attribute is changed from encrypted -> decrypted and vice versa. By default all guest pages are considered encrypted. The hypercall exits to userspace to manage the guest shared regions and integrate with the userspace VMM's migration code. Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "H.

x86/kvm: Reserve KVM_FEATURE_MSI_EXT_DEST_ID

2020-10-28T17:52:05Z

No functional change; just reserve the feature bit for now so that VMMs can start to implement it. This will allow the host to indicate that MSI emulation supports 15-bit destination IDs, allowing up to 32768 CPUs without interrupt remapping. cf. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11816693/ for qemu Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini Message-Id: <4cd59bed05f4b7410d3d1ffd1e997ab53683874d.camel@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: announce KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_INT

2020-06-01T08:26:08Z

Introduce new capability to indicate that KVM supports interrupt based delivery of 'page ready' APF events. This includes support for both MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT and MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK.

KVM: x86: acknowledgment mechanism for async pf page ready notifications

2020-06-01T08:26:08Z

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

KVM: x86: interrupt based APF 'page ready' event delivery

2020-06-01T08:26:07Z

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

KVM: x86: extend struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data with token info

2020-06-01T08:26:06Z

Currently, APF mechanism relies on the #PF abuse where the token is being passed through CR2. If we switch to using interrupts to deliver page-ready notifications we need a different way to pass the data. Extent the existing 'struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data' with token information for page-ready notifications. While on it, rename 'reason' to 'flags'. This doesn't change the semantics as we only have reasons '1' and '2' and these can be treated as bit flags but KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_READY is going away with interrupt based delivery making 'reason' name misleading. The newly introduced apf_put_user_ready() temporary puts both flags and token information, this will be changed to put token only when we switch to interrupt based notifications.

KVM: X86: Yield to IPI target if necessary

2019-07-02T16:56:01Z

When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted, we just select the first preempted target vCPU which we found since the state of target vCPUs can change underneath and to avoid race conditions.

kvm: x86: add host poll control msrs

2019-06-18T09:43:46Z

Add an MSRs which allows the guest to disable host polling (specifically the cpuidle-haltpoll, when performing polling in the guest, disables host side polling). Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: X86: Implement PV IPIs in linux guest

2018-08-06T15:59:22Z

Implement paravirtual apic hooks to enable PV IPIs for KVM if the "send IPI" hypercall is available. The hypercall lets a guest send IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode.

kvm: rename KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED to KVM_HINTS_REALTIME

2018-05-17T17:12:13Z

KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED seems to be somewhat confusing: Guest doesn't really care whether it's the only task running on a host CPU as long as it's not preempted. And there are more reasons for Guest to be preempted than host CPU sharing, for example, with memory overcommit it can get preempted on a memory access, post copy migration can cause preemption, etc. Let's call it KVM_HINTS_REALTIME which seems to better match what guests expect. Also, the flag most be set on all vCPUs - current guests assume this. Note so in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini
