2019-11-20KVM: x86: Zero the IOAPIC scan request dest vCPUs bitmapNitesh Narayan Lal
Not zeroing the bitmap used for identifying the destination vCPUs for an IOAPIC scan request in fixed delivery mode could lead to waking up unwanted vCPUs. This patch zeroes the vCPU bitmap before passing it to kvm_bitmap_or_dest_vcpus(), which is responsible for setting the bitmap with the bits corresponding to the destination vCPUs.

2019-11-16x86/tss: Fix and move VMX BUILD_BUG_ON()Thomas Gleixner
The BUILD_BUG_ON(IO_BITMAP_OFFSET - 1 == 0x67) in the VMX code is bogus in two aspects: 1) This wants to be in generic x86 code simply to catch issues even when VMX is disabled in Kconfig. 2) The IO_BITMAP_OFFSET is not the right thing to check because it makes asssumptions about the layout of tss_struct. Nothing requires that the I/O bitmap is placed right after x86_tss, which is the hardware mandated tss structure. It pointlessly makes restrictions on the struct tss_struct layout. The proper thing to check is: - Offset of x86_tss in tss_struct is 0 - Size of x86_tss == 0x68 Move it to the other build time TSS checks and make it do the right thing.

2019-11-15KVM: x86: deliver KVM IOAPIC scan request to target vCPUsNitesh Narayan Lal
In IOAPIC fixed delivery mode instead of flushing the scan requests to all vCPUs, we should only send the requests to vCPUs specified within the destination field. This patch introduces kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which retrieves an array of target vCPUs by using kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() and then based on the vcpus_idx, it sets the bit in a bitmap. However, if the above fails kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() finds the target vCPUs by traversing all available vCPUs. Followed by setting the bits in the bitmap. If we had different vCPUs in the previous request for the same redirection table entry then bits corresponding to these vCPUs are also set. This to done to keep ioapic_handled_vectors synchronized. This bitmap is then eventually passed on to kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() to generate a masked request only for the target vCPUs. This would enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN.

2019-11-15KVM: nVMX: Add support for capturing highest observable L2 TSCAaron Lewis
The L1 hypervisor may include the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR in the vmcs12 MSR VM-exit MSR-store area as a way of determining the highest TSC value that might have been observed by L2 prior to VM-exit. The current implementation does not capture a very tight bound on this value. To tighten the bound, add the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR to the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area whenever it appears in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area. When L0 processes the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area during the emulation of an L2->L1 VM-exit, special-case the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR, using the value stored in the vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area to derive the value to be stored in the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area.

2019-11-15KVM: x86: Optimization: Requst TLB flush in fast_cr3_switch() instead of do ↵Liran Alon
it directly When KVM emulates a nested VMEntry (L1->L2 VMEntry), it switches mmu root page. If nEPT is used, this will happen from kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu()->__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() and otherwise it will happpen from nested_vmx_load_cr3()->kvm_mmu_new_cr3(). Either case, __kvm_mmu_new_cr3() will use fast_cr3_switch() in attempt to switch to a previously cached root page. In case fast_cr3_switch() finds a matching cached root page, it will set it in mmu->root_hpa and request KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 such that on next entry to guest, KVM will set root HPA in appropriate hardware fields (e.g. vmcs->eptp). In addition, fast_cr3_switch() calls kvm_x86_ops->tlb_flush() in order to flush TLB as MMU root page was replaced. This works as mmu->root_hpa, which vmx_flush_tlb() use, was already replaced in cached_root_available(). However, this may result in unnecessary INVEPT execution because a KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH may have already been requested. For example, by prepare_vmcs02() in case L1 don't use VPID. Therefore, change fast_cr3_switch() to just request TLB flush on next entry to guest.

2019-11-15KVM: x86/vPMU: Add lazy mechanism to release perf_event per vPMCLike Xu
Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation. It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused. If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time, those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that could have been avoided. If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set, we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in. This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual.

2019-11-15KVM: x86/vPMU: Reuse perf_event to avoid unnecessary pmc_reprogram_counterLike Xu
The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest. When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again. For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl' for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual. It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event) and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config' field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC. Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event. In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up). If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

2019-11-15KVM: nVMX: Update vmcs01 TPR_THRESHOLD if L2 changed L1 TPRLiran Alon
When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store). If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1, apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR priority. However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set. (Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR) To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from L2 to L1.

2019-11-14KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()Sean Christopherson
Acquire the per-VM slots_lock when zapping all shadow pages as part of toggling nx_huge_pages. The fast zap algorithm relies on exclusivity (via slots_lock) to identify obsolete vs. valid shadow pages, because it uses a single bit for its generation number. Holding slots_lock also obviates the need to acquire a read lock on the VM's srcu. Failing to take slots_lock when toggling nx_huge_pages allows multiple instances of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() to run concurrently, as the other user, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, does not take the global kvm_lock. (kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() does take kvm->mmu_lock, but it can be temporarily dropped by kvm_zap_obsolete_pages(), so it is not enough to enforce exclusivity). Concurrent fast zap instances causes obsolete shadow pages to be incorrectly identified as valid due to the single bit generation number wrapping, which results in stale shadow pages being left in KVM's MMU and leads to all sorts of undesirable behavior. The bug is easily confirmed by running with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and toggling nx_huge_pages via its module param. Note, until commit 4ae5acbc4936 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()", 2019-11-13) the fast zap algorithm used an ulong-sized generation instead of relying on exclusivity for correctness, but all callers except the recently added set_nx_huge_pages() needed to hold slots_lock anyways. Therefore, this patch does not have to be backported to stable kernels. Given that toggling nx_huge_pages is by no means a fast path, force it to conform to the current approach instead of reintroducing the previous generation count.

2019-11-12KVM: MMU: Do not treat ZONE_DEVICE pages as being reservedSean Christopherson
Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis. For things like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup(). But for flows such as setting A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages. This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup() when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup(). Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page() on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if the backing device is pinned (via gup()). But that approach would break kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

2019-11-12KVM: VMX: Do not change PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPUJoao Martins
When vCPU enters block phase, pi_pre_block() inserts vCPU to a per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Afterwards, it changes PID.NV to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR which its handler (wakeup_handler()) is responsible to kick (unblock) any vCPU on that linked list that now has pending posted interrupts. While vCPU is blocked (in kvm_vcpu_block()), it may be preempted which will cause vmx_vcpu_pi_put() to set PID.SN. If later the vCPU will be scheduled to run on a different pCPU, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() will clear PID.SN but will also *overwrite PID.NDST to this different pCPU*. Instead of keeping it with original pCPU which vCPU had entered block phase on. This results in an issue because when a posted interrupt is delivered, as the wakeup_handler() will be executed and fail to find blocked vCPU on its per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Which is due to the vCPU being placed on a *different* per pCPU linked list i.e. the original pCPU in which it entered block phase. The regression is introduced by commit c112b5f50232 ("KVM: x86: Recompute PID.ON when clearing PID.SN"). Therefore, partially revert it and reintroduce the condition in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() responsible for avoiding changing PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPU.

2019-11-12KVM: VMX: Consider PID.PIR to determine if vCPU has pending interruptsJoao Martins
Commit 17e433b54393 ("KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU") introduced vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() in order to determine if a vCPU have a pending posted interrupt. This routine is used by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() when searching for a a new runnable vCPU to schedule on pCPU instead of a vCPU doing busy loop. vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() determines if a vCPU has a pending posted interrupt solely based on PID.ON. However, when a vCPU is preempted, vmx_vcpu_pi_put() sets PID.SN which cause raised posted interrupts to only set bit in PID.PIR without setting PID.ON (and without sending notification vector), as depicted in VT-d manual section 5.2.3 "Interrupt-Posting Hardware Operation". Therefore, checking PID.ON is insufficient to determine if a vCPU has pending posted interrupts and instead we should also check if there is some bit set on PID.PIR if PID.SN=1.

2019-11-12KVM: X86: Fix initialization of MSR listsChenyi Qiang
The three MSR lists(msrs_to_save[], emulated_msrs[] and msr_based_features[]) are global arrays of kvm.ko, which are adjusted (copy supported MSRs forward to override the unsupported MSRs) when insmod kvm-{intel,amd}.ko, but it doesn't reset these three arrays to their initial value when rmmod kvm-{intel,amd}.ko. Thus, at the next installation, kvm-{intel,amd}.ko will do operations on the modified arrays with some MSRs lost and some MSRs duplicated. So define three constant arrays to hold the initial MSR lists and initialize msrs_to_save[], emulated_msrs[] and msr_based_features[] based on the constant arrays.

2019-11-04kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigationPaolo Bonzini
With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

Commit 0bc48bea36d1 ("KVM: x86: update master clock before computing kvmclock_offset") switches the order of operations to avoid the conversion TSC (without frequency correction) -> system_timestamp (with frequency correction), which might cause a time jump. However, it leaves any other masterclock update unsafe, which includes, at the moment: * HV_X64_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC MSR write. * TSC writes. * Host suspend/resume. Avoid the time jump issue by using frequency uncorrected CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock. Its the guests time keeping software responsability to track and correct a reference clock such as UTC.

2019-10-31KVM: vmx, svm: always run with EFER.NXE=1 when shadow paging is activePaolo Bonzini
VMX already does so if the host has SMEP, in order to support the combination of CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1. However, it is perfectly safe to always do so, and in fact VMX already ends up running with EFER.NXE=1 on old processors that lack the "load EFER" controls, because it may help avoiding a slow MSR write. Removing all the conditionals simplifies the code. SVM does not have similar code, but it should since recent AMD processors do support SMEP. So this patch also makes the code for the two vendors more similar while fixing NPT=0, CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1 on AMD processors.

Microcode update also adds support for MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL which is enumerated by the ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL bit in IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR.

2019-10-22KVM: nVMX: Don't leak L1 MMIO regions to L2Jim Mattson
If the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control is set in the VMCS, the APIC virtualization hardware is triggered when a page walk in VMX non-root mode terminates at a PTE wherein the address of the 4k page frame matches the APIC-access address specified in the VMCS. On hardware, the APIC-access address may be any valid 4k-aligned physical address. KVM's nVMX implementation enforces the additional constraint that the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 must be backed by a "struct page" in L1. If not, L0 will simply clear the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02. The problem with this approach is that the L1 guest has arranged the vmcs12 EPT tables--or shadow page tables, if the "enable EPT" VM-execution control is clear in the vmcs12--so that the L2 guest physical address(es)--or L2 guest linear address(es)--that reference the L2 APIC map to the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12. Without the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02, the APIC accesses in the L2 guest will directly access the APIC-access page in L1. When there is no mapping whatsoever for the APIC-access address in L1, the L2 VM just loses the intended APIC virtualization. However, when the APIC-access address is mapped to an MMIO region in L1, the L2 guest gets direct access to the L1 MMIO device. For example, if the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 is 0xfee00000, then L2 gets direct access to L1's APIC. Since this vmcs12 configuration is something that KVM cannot faithfully emulate, the appropriate response is to exit to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION.
