|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Adjunct Processor (AP) facility is an IBM Z cryptographic facility comprised
|
|
|
|
of three AP instructions and from 1 up to 256 PCIe cryptographic adapter cards.
|
|
|
|
The AP devices provide cryptographic functions to all CPUs assigned to a
|
|
|
|
linux system running in an IBM Z system LPAR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AP adapter cards are exposed via the AP bus. The motivation for vfio-ap
|
|
|
|
is to make AP cards available to KVM guests using the VFIO mediated device
|
|
|
|
framework. This implementation relies considerably on the s390 virtualization
|
|
|
|
facilities which do most of the hard work of providing direct access to AP
|
|
|
|
devices.

AP Architectural Overview
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
To facilitate the comprehension of the design, let's start with some
|
|
|
|
definitions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AP adapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An AP adapter is an IBM Z adapter card that can perform cryptographic
|
|
|
|
functions. There can be from 0 to 256 adapters assigned to an LPAR. Adapters
|
|
|
|
assigned to the LPAR in which a linux host is running will be available to
|
|
|
|
the linux host. Each adapter is identified by a number from 0 to 255; however,
|
|
|
|
the maximum adapter number is determined by machine model and/or adapter type.
|
|
|
|
When installed, an AP adapter is accessed by AP instructions executed by any
|
|
|
|
CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AP adapter cards are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's Activation
|
|
|
|
Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When the linux host system is IPL'd
|
|
|
|
in the LPAR, the AP bus detects the AP adapter cards assigned to the LPAR and
|
|
|
|
creates a sysfs device for each assigned adapter. For example, if AP adapters
|
|
|
|
4 and 10 (0x0a) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the following
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
sysfs device entries::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card04
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card0a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symbolic links to these devices will also be created in the AP bus devices
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
sub-directory::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04]
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AP domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An adapter is partitioned into domains. An adapter can hold up to 256 domains
|
|
|
|
depending upon the adapter type and hardware configuration. A domain is
|
|
|
|
identified by a number from 0 to 255; however, the maximum domain number is
|
|
|
|
determined by machine model and/or adapter type.. A domain can be thought of
|
|
|
|
as a set of hardware registers and memory used for processing AP commands. A
|
|
|
|
domain can be configured with a secure private key used for clear key
|
|
|
|
encryption. A domain is classified in one of two ways depending upon how it
|
|
|
|
may be accessed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Usage domains are domains that are targeted by an AP instruction to
|
|
|
|
process an AP command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Control domains are domains that are changed by an AP command sent to a
|
|
|
|
usage domain; for example, to set the secure private key for the control
|
|
|
|
domain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AP usage and control domains are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's
|
|
|
|
Activation Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When a linux host system
|
|
|
|
is IPL'd in the LPAR, the AP bus module detects the AP usage and control
|
|
|
|
domains assigned to the LPAR. The domain number of each usage domain and
|
|
|
|
adapter number of each AP adapter are combined to create AP queue devices
|
|
|
|
(see AP Queue section below). The domain number of each control domain will be
|
|
|
|
represented in a bitmask and stored in a sysfs file
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/ap_control_domain_mask. The bits in the mask, from most to least
|
|
|
|
significant bit, correspond to domains 0-255.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AP Queue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An AP queue is the means by which an AP command is sent to a usage domain
|
|
|
|
inside a specific adapter. An AP queue is identified by a tuple
|
|
|
|
comprised of an AP adapter ID (APID) and an AP queue index (APQI). The
|
|
|
|
APQI corresponds to a given usage domain number within the adapter. This tuple
|
|
|
|
forms an AP Queue Number (APQN) uniquely identifying an AP queue. AP
|
|
|
|
instructions include a field containing the APQN to identify the AP queue to
|
|
|
|
which the AP command is to be sent for processing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AP bus will create a sysfs device for each APQN that can be derived from
|
|
|
|
the cross product of the AP adapter and usage domain numbers detected when the
|
|
|
|
AP bus module is loaded. For example, if adapters 4 and 10 (0x0a) and usage
|
|
|
|
domains 6 and 71 (0x47) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
following sysfs entries::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0006
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0047
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0006
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0047
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following symbolic links to these devices will be created in the AP bus
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
devices subdirectory::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0006]
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0047]
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0006]
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0047]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AP Instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three AP instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* NQAP: to enqueue an AP command-request message to a queue
|
|
|
|
* DQAP: to dequeue an AP command-reply message from a queue
|
|
|
|
* PQAP: to administer the queues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AP instructions identify the domain that is targeted to process the AP
|
|
|
|
command; this must be one of the usage domains. An AP command may modify a
|
|
|
|
domain that is not one of the usage domains, but the modified domain
|
|
|
|
must be one of the control domains.

|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Let's now take a look at how AP instructions executed on a guest are interpreted
|
|
|
|
by the hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A satellite control block called the Crypto Control Block (CRYCB) is attached to
|
|
|
|
our main hardware virtualization control block. The CRYCB contains three fields
|
|
|
|
to identify the adapters, usage domains and control domains assigned to the KVM
|
|
|
|
guest:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The AP Mask (APM) field is a bit mask that identifies the AP adapters assigned
|
|
|
|
to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most
|
|
|
|
significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to
|
|
|
|
an APID from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding adapter is valid for
|
|
|
|
use by the KVM guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The AP Queue Mask (AQM) field is a bit mask identifying the AP usage domains
|
|
|
|
assigned to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from
|
|
|
|
most significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to
|
|
|
|
an AP queue index (APQI) from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding queue
|
|
|
|
is valid for use by the KVM guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The AP Domain Mask field is a bit mask that identifies the AP control domains
|
|
|
|
assigned to the KVM guest. The ADM bit mask controls which domains can be
|
|
|
|
changed by an AP command-request message sent to a usage domain from the
|
|
|
|
guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most significant to
|
|
|
|
least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to a domain from
|
|
|
|
0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding domain can be modified by an AP
|
|
|
|
command-request message sent to a usage domain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you recall from the description of an AP Queue, AP instructions include
|
|
|
|
an APQN to identify the AP queue to which an AP command-request message is to be
|
|
|
|
sent (NQAP and PQAP instructions), or from which a command-reply message is to
|
|
|
|
be received (DQAP instruction). The validity of an APQN is defined by the matrix
|
|
|
|
calculated from the APM and AQM; it is the cross product of all assigned adapter
|
|
|
|
numbers (APM) with all assigned queue indexes (AQM). For example, if adapters 1
|
|
|
|
and 2 and usage domains 5 and 6 are assigned to a guest, the APQNs (1,5), (1,6),
|
|
|
|
(2,5) and (2,6) will be valid for the guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The APQNs can provide secure key functionality - i.e., a private key is stored
|
|
|
|
on the adapter card for each of its domains - so each APQN must be assigned to
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
at most one guest or to the linux host::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example 1: Valid configuration:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6
|
|
|
|
Guest2: adapter 1,2 domain 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs:
|
|
|
|
Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6);
|
|
|
|
Guest2 has APQNs (1,7), (2,7)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example 2: Valid configuration:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6
|
|
|
|
Guest2: adapters 3,4 domains 5,6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is also valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs:
|
|
|
|
Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6);
|
|
|
|
Guest2 has APQNs (3,5), (3,6), (4,5), (4,6)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example 3: Invalid configuration:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6
|
|
|
|
Guest2: adapter 1 domains 6,7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an invalid configuration because both guests have access to
|
|
|
|
APQN (1,6).

The Design
|
|
|
|
==========
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
The design introduces three new objects:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. AP matrix device
|
|
|
|
2. VFIO AP device driver (vfio_ap.ko)
|
|
|
|
3. VFIO AP mediated matrix pass-through device
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VFIO AP device driver
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The VFIO AP (vfio_ap) device driver serves the following purposes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Provides the interfaces to secure APQNs for exclusive use of KVM guests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Sets up the VFIO mediated device interfaces to manage a mediated matrix
|
|
|
|
device and creates the sysfs interfaces for assigning adapters, usage
|
|
|
|
domains, and control domains comprising the matrix for a KVM guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Configures the APM, AQM and ADM in the CRYCB referenced by a KVM guest's
|
|
|
|
SIE state description to grant the guest access to a matrix of AP devices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reserve APQNs for exclusive use of KVM guests
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The process for reserving an AP queue for use by a KVM guest is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The administrator loads the vfio_ap device driver
|
|
|
|
2. The vfio-ap driver during its initialization will register a single 'matrix'
|
|
|
|
device with the device core. This will serve as the parent device for
|
|
|
|
all mediated matrix devices used to configure an AP matrix for a guest.
|
|
|
|
3. The /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix device is created by the device core
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
4. The vfio_ap device driver will register with the AP bus for AP queue devices
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
of type 10 and higher (CEX4 and newer). The driver will provide the vfio_ap
|
|
|
|
driver's probe and remove callback interfaces. Devices older than CEX4 queues
|
|
|
|
are not supported to simplify the implementation by not needlessly
|
|
|
|
complicating the design by supporting older devices that will go out of
|
|
|
|
service in the relatively near future, and for which there are few older
|
|
|
|
systems around on which to test.
|
|
|
|
5. The AP bus registers the vfio_ap device driver with the device core
|
|
|
|
6. The administrator edits the AP adapter and queue masks to reserve AP queues
|
|
|
|
for use by the vfio_ap device driver.
|
|
|
|
7. The AP bus removes the AP queues reserved for the vfio_ap driver from the
|
|
|
|
default zcrypt cex4queue driver.
|
|
|
|
8. The AP bus probes the vfio_ap device driver to bind the queues reserved for
|
|
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
9. The administrator creates a passthrough type mediated matrix device to be
|
|
|
|
used by a guest
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
10. The administrator assigns the adapters, usage domains and control domains
|
|
|
|
to be exclusively used by a guest.
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set up the VFIO mediated device interfaces
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The VFIO AP device driver utilizes the common interface of the VFIO mediated
|
|
|
|
device core driver to:
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
* Register an AP mediated bus driver to add a mediated matrix device to and
|
|
|
|
remove it from a VFIO group.
|
|
|
|
* Create and destroy a mediated matrix device
|
|
|
|
* Add a mediated matrix device to and remove it from the AP mediated bus driver
|
|
|
|
* Add a mediated matrix device to and remove it from an IOMMU group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following high-level block diagram shows the main components and interfaces

of the VFIO AP mediated matrix device driver::

|
|
During initialization of the vfio_ap module, the matrix device is registered
|
|
|
|
with an 'mdev_parent_ops' structure that provides the sysfs attribute
|
|
|
|
structures, mdev functions and callback interfaces for managing the mediated
|
|

The VFIO mediated device framework supports creation of user-defined
|
|
|
|
mediated device types. These mediated device types are specified
|
|
|
|
via the 'supported_type_groups' structure when a device is registered
|
|
|
|
with the mediated device framework. The registration process creates the
|
|
|
|
sysfs structures for each mediated device type specified in the
|
|
|
|
'mdev_supported_types' sub-directory of the device being registered. Along
|
|
|
|
with the device type, the sysfs attributes of the mediated device type are
|
|
|
|
provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VFIO AP device driver will register one mediated device type for
|
|
|
|
passthrough devices:

|
|
|
This attribute group identifies the user-defined sysfs attributes of the
|
|
|
|
mediated device. When a device is registered with the VFIO mediated device
|
|
|
|
framework, the sysfs attribute files identified in the 'mdev_attr_groups'
|
|
|
|
structure will be created in the mediated matrix device's directory. The
|
|
|
|
sysfs attributes for a mediated matrix device are:

|
VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback function for the mdev matrix
|
|
|
|
device. The open is invoked when QEMU connects the VFIO iommu group
|
|
|
|
for the mdev matrix device to the MDEV bus. Access to the KVM structure used
|
|
|
|
to configure the KVM guest is provided via this callback. The KVM structure,
|
|
|
|
is used to configure the guest's access to the AP matrix defined via the
|
|
|
|
mediated matrix device's sysfs attribute files.

|
The CPU model features for AP
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The AP stack relies on the presence of the AP instructions as well as two
|
|
|
|
facilities: The AP Facilities Test (APFT) facility; and the AP Query
|
|
|
|
Configuration Information (QCI) facility. These features/facilities are made
|
|
|
|
available to a KVM guest via the following CPU model features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. ap: Indicates whether the AP instructions are installed on the guest. This
|
|
|
|
feature will be enabled by KVM only if the AP instructions are installed
|
|
|
|
on the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. apft: Indicates the APFT facility is available on the guest. This facility
|
|
|
|
can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e.,
|
|
|
|
facility bit 15 is set).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. apqci: Indicates the AP QCI facility is available on the guest. This facility
|
|
|
|
can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e.,
|
|
|
|
facility bit 12 is set).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: If the user chooses to specify a CPU model different than the 'host'
|
|
|
|
model to QEMU, the CPU model features and facilities need to be turned on
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
explicitly; for example::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu z13,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A guest can be precluded from using AP features/facilities by turning them off
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
explicitly; for example::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=off,apqci=off,apft=off
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: If the APFT facility is turned off (apft=off) for the guest, the guest
|
|
|
|
will not see any AP devices. The zcrypt device drivers that register for type 10
|
|
|
|
and newer AP devices - i.e., the cex4card and cex4queue device drivers - need
|
|
|
|
the APFT facility to ascertain the facilities installed on a given AP device. If
|
|
|
|
the APFT facility is not installed on the guest, then the probe of device
|
|
|
|
drivers will fail since only type 10 and newer devices can be configured for
|
|
|
|
guest use.

|
Let's now provide an example to illustrate how KVM guests may be given
|
|
|
|
access to AP facilities. For this example, we will show how to configure
|
|
|
|
three guests such that executing the lszcrypt command on the guests would

look like this:

These are the steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install the vfio_ap module on the linux host. The dependency chain for the
|
|
|
|
vfio_ap module is:
|
|
|
|
* iommu
|
|
|
|
* s390
|
|
|
|
* zcrypt
|
|
|
|
* vfio
|
|
|
|
* vfio_mdev
|
|
|
|
* vfio_mdev_device
|
|
|
|
* KVM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the vfio_ap module, the kernel build must be configured with the
|
|
|
|
following Kconfig elements selected:
|
|
|
|
* IOMMU_SUPPORT
|
|
|
|
* S390
|
|
|
|
* ZCRYPT
|
|
|
|
* S390_AP_IOMMU
|
|
|
|
* VFIO
|
|
|
|
* VFIO_MDEV
|
|
|
|
* VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE
|
|
|
|
* KVM
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
If using make menuconfig select the following to build the vfio_ap module::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-> Device Drivers
|
|
|
|
-> IOMMU Hardware Support
|
|
|
|
select S390 AP IOMMU Support
|
|
|
|
-> VFIO Non-Privileged userspace driver framework
|
|
|
|
-> Mediated device driver frramework
|
|
|
|
-> VFIO driver for Mediated devices
|
|
|
|
-> I/O subsystem
|
|
|
|
-> VFIO support for AP devices
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Secure the AP queues to be used by the three guests so that the host can not
|
|
|
|
access them. To secure them, there are two sysfs files that specify
|
|
|
|
bitmasks marking a subset of the APQN range as 'usable by the default AP
|
|
|
|
queue device drivers' or 'not usable by the default device drivers' and thus
|
|
|
|
available for use by the vfio_ap device driver'. The location of the sysfs
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
files containing the masks are::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/apmask
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap/aqmask
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'apmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP adapter IDs
|
|
|
|
(APID). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant
|
|
|
|
to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APID from
|
|
|
|
0-255. If a bit is set, the APID is marked as usable only by the default AP
|
|
|
|
queue device drivers; otherwise, the APID is usable by the vfio_ap
|
|
|
|
device driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'aqmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP queue indexes
|
|
|
|
(APQI). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant
|
|
|
|
to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APQI from
|
|
|
|
0-255. If a bit is set, the APQI is marked as usable only by the default AP
|
|
|
|
queue device drivers; otherwise, the APQI is usable by the vfio_ap device
|
|
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Take, for example, the following mask::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0x7dffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It indicates:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7-255 belong to the default drivers' pool, and 0 and 6
|
|
|
|
belong to the vfio_ap device driver's pool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The APQN of each AP queue device assigned to the linux host is checked by the
|
|
|
|
AP bus against the set of APQNs derived from the cross product of APIDs
|
|
|
|
and APQIs marked as usable only by the default AP queue device drivers. If a
|
|
|
|
match is detected, only the default AP queue device drivers will be probed;
|
|
|
|
otherwise, the vfio_ap device driver will be probed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the two masks are set to reserve all APQNs for use by the default
|
|
|
|
AP queue device drivers. There are two ways the default masks can be changed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The sysfs mask files can be edited by echoing a string into the
|
|
|
|
respective sysfs mask file in one of two formats:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* An absolute hex string starting with 0x - like "0x12345678" - sets
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
the mask. If the given string is shorter than the mask, it is padded
|
|
|
|
with 0s on the right; for example, specifying a mask value of 0x41 is
|
|
|
|
the same as specifying::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
0x4100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Keep in mind that the mask reads from left to right (i.e., most
|
|
|
|
significant to least significant bit in big endian order), so the mask
|
|
|
|
above identifies device numbers 1 and 7 (01000001).
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
If the string is longer than the mask, the operation is terminated with
|
|
|
|
an error (EINVAL).
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Individual bits in the mask can be switched on and off by specifying
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
each bit number to be switched in a comma separated list. Each bit
|
|
|
|
number string must be prepended with a ('+') or minus ('-') to indicate
|
|
|
|
the corresponding bit is to be switched on ('+') or off ('-'). Some
|
|
|
|
valid values are:
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
- "+0" switches bit 0 on
|
|
|
|
- "-13" switches bit 13 off
|
|
|
|
- "+0x41" switches bit 65 on
|
|
|
|
- "-0xff" switches bit 255 off
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
The following example:
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
+0,-6,+0x47,-0xf0
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Switches bits 0 and 71 (0x47) on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Switches bits 6 and 240 (0xf0) off
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the bits not specified in the list remain as they were before
|
|
|
|
the operation.
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The masks can also be changed at boot time via parameters on the kernel
|
|
|
|
command line like this:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
ap.apmask=0xffff ap.aqmask=0x40
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
This would create the following masks::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
apmask:
|
|
|
|
0xffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
aqmask:
|
|
|
|
0x4000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Resulting in these two pools::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
default drivers pool: adapter 0-15, domain 1
|
|
|
|
alternate drivers pool: adapter 16-255, domains 0, 2-255
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Securing the APQNs for our example
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
To secure the AP queues 05.0004, 05.0047, 05.00ab, 05.00ff, 06.0004, 06.0047,
|
|
|
|
06.00ab, and 06.00ff for use by the vfio_ap device driver, the corresponding
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
APQNs can either be removed from the default masks::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo -5,-6 > /sys/bus/ap/apmask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo -4,-0x47,-0xab,-0xff > /sys/bus/ap/aqmask
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Or the masks can be set as follows::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 0xf9ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff \
|
|
|
|
> apmask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 0xf7fffffffffffffffeffffffffffffffffffffffffeffffffffffffffffffffe \
|
|
|
|
> aqmask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will result in AP queues 05.0004, 05.0047, 05.00ab, 05.00ff, 06.0004,
|
|
|
|
06.0047, 06.00ab, and 06.00ff getting bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The
|
|
|
|
sysfs directory for the vfio_ap device driver will now contain symbolic links
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
to the AP queue devices bound to it::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/ap
|
|
|
|
... [drivers]
|
|
|
|
...... [vfio_ap]
|
|
|
|
......... [05.0004]
|
|
|
|
......... [05.0047]
|
|
|
|
......... [05.00ab]
|
|
|
|
......... [05.00ff]
|
|
|
|
......... [06.0004]
|
|
|
|
......... [06.0047]
|
|
|
|
......... [06.00ab]
|
|
|
|
......... [06.00ff]
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that only type 10 and newer adapters (i.e., CEX4 and later)
|
|
|
|
can be bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The reason for this is to
|
|
|
|
simplify the implementation by not needlessly complicating the design by
|
|
|
|
supporting older devices that will go out of service in the relatively near
|
|
|
|
future and for which there are few older systems on which to test.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The administrator, therefore, must take care to secure only AP queues that
|
|
|
|
can be bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The device type for a given AP
|
|
|
|
queue device can be read from the parent card's sysfs directory. For example,
|
|
|
|
to see the hardware type of the queue 05.0004:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
cat /sys/bus/ap/devices/card05/hwtype
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hwtype must be 10 or higher (CEX4 or newer) in order to be bound to the
|
|
|
|
vfio_ap device driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Create the mediated devices needed to configure the AP matrixes for the
|
|
|
|
three guests and to provide an interface to the vfio_ap driver for
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
use by the guests::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
/sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/
|
|

|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
To create the mediated devices for the three guests::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uuidgen > create
|
|
|
|
uuidgen > create
|
|
|
|
uuidgen > create
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
or
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
echo $uuid1 > create
|
|
|
|
echo $uuid2 > create
|
|
|
|
echo $uuid3 > create
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will create three mediated devices in the [devices] subdirectory named
|
|
|
|
after the UUID written to the create attribute file. We call them $uuid1,
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
$uuid2 and $uuid3 and this is the sysfs directory structure after creation::
|
|
|
|

|

4. The administrator now needs to configure the matrixes for the mediated
|
|
|
|
devices $uuid1 (for Guest1), $uuid2 (for Guest2) and $uuid3 (for Guest3).
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
This is how the matrix is configured for Guest1::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 5 > assign_adapter
|
|
|
|
echo 6 > assign_adapter
|
|
|
|
echo 4 > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
echo 0xab > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
Control domains can similarly be assigned using the assign_control_domain
|
|
|
|
sysfs file.
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
If a mistake is made configuring an adapter, domain or control domain,
|
|
|
|
you can use the unassign_xxx files to unassign the adapter, domain or
|
|
|
|
control domain.
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
To display the matrix configuration for Guest1::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
cat matrix
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
This is how the matrix is configured for Guest2::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 5 > assign_adapter
|
|
|
|
echo 0x47 > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
echo 0xff > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|
|
This is how the matrix is configured for Guest3::
|
2018-09-26 07:16:41 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 6 > assign_adapter
|
|
|
|
echo 0x47 > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
echo 0xff > assign_domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to successfully assign an adapter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The adapter number specified must represent a value from 0 up to the
|
|
|
|
maximum adapter number configured for the system. If an adapter number
|
|
|
|
higher than the maximum is specified, the operation will terminate with
|
|
|
|
an error (ENODEV).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All APQNs that can be derived from the adapter ID and the IDs of
|
|
|
|
the previously assigned domains must be bound to the vfio_ap device
|
|
|
|
driver. If no domains have yet been assigned, then there must be at least
|
|
|
|
one APQN with the specified APID bound to the vfio_ap driver. If no such
|
|
|
|
APQNs are bound to the driver, the operation will terminate with an
|
|
|
|
error (EADDRNOTAVAIL).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No APQN that can be derived from the adapter ID and the IDs of the
|
|
|
|
previously assigned domains can be assigned to another mediated matrix
|
|
|
|
device. If an APQN is assigned to another mediated matrix device, the
|
|
|
|
operation will terminate with an error (EADDRINUSE).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to successfully assign a domain:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The domain number specified must represent a value from 0 up to the
|
|
|
|
maximum domain number configured for the system. If a domain number
|
|
|
|
higher than the maximum is specified, the operation will terminate with
|
|
|
|
an error (ENODEV).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All APQNs that can be derived from the domain ID and the IDs of
|
|
|
|
the previously assigned adapters must be bound to the vfio_ap device
|
|
|
|
driver. If no domains have yet been assigned, then there must be at least
|
|
|
|
one APQN with the specified APQI bound to the vfio_ap driver. If no such
|
|
|
|
APQNs are bound to the driver, the operation will terminate with an
|
|
|
|
error (EADDRNOTAVAIL).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No APQN that can be derived from the domain ID and the IDs of the
|
|
|
|
previously assigned adapters can be assigned to another mediated matrix
|
|
|
|
device. If an APQN is assigned to another mediated matrix device, the
|
|
|
|
operation will terminate with an error (EADDRINUSE).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to successfully assign a control domain, the domain number
|
|
|
|
specified must represent a value from 0 up to the maximum domain number
|
|
|
|
configured for the system. If a control domain number higher than the maximum
|
|
|
|
is specified, the operation will terminate with an error (ENODEV).

When the guest is shut down, the mediated matrix devices may be removed.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-09 10:27:16 +08:00
|
|

the mdev device itself. To recreate and reconfigure the mdev matrix device,
|
|
|
|
all of the steps starting with step 3 will have to be performed again. Note

that the remove will fail if a guest using the mdev is still running.

It is not necessary to remove an mdev matrix device, but one may want to
|
|
|
|
remove it if no guest will use it during the remaining lifetime of the linux
|
|
|
|
host. If the mdev matrix device is removed, one may want to also reconfigure
|
|
|
|
the pool of adapters and queues reserved for use by the default drivers.

Limitations
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
* The KVM/kernel interfaces do not provide a way to prevent restoring an APQN
|
|
|
|
to the default drivers pool of a queue that is still assigned to a mediated
|
|
|
|
device in use by a guest. It is incumbent upon the administrator to
|
|
|
|
ensure there is no mediated device in use by a guest to which the APQN is
|
|
|
|
assigned lest the host be given access to the private data of the AP queue
|
|
|
|
device such as a private key configured specifically for the guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Dynamically modifying the AP matrix for a running guest (which would amount to
|
|
|
|
hot(un)plug of AP devices for the guest) is currently not supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Live guest migration is not supported for guests using AP devices.
