Marcelo Tosatti 404381c583 KVM: MMU: drop read-only large sptes when creating lower level sptes
Read-only large sptes can be created due to read-only faults as
follows:

- QEMU pagetable entry that maps guest memory is read-only
due to COW.
- Guest read faults such memory, COW is not broken, because
it is a read-only fault.
- Enable dirty logging, large spte not nuked because it is read-only.
- Write-fault on such memory causes guest to loop endlessly
(which must go down to level 1 because dirty logging is enabled).

Fix by dropping large spte when necessary.

Dominik Dingel e0ead41a6d KVM: async_pf: Provide additional direct page notification
By setting a Kconfig option, the architecture can control when
guest notifications will be presented by the apf backend.
There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu
thread should pull in this information.
Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the
information to the guest.
This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface.

Still the vcpu thread should call check_completion to cleanup leftovers.

Nadav Har'El bfd0a56b90 nEPT: Nested INVEPT
If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.

In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

Nadav Har'El 155a97a3d7 nEPT: MMU context for nested EPT
KVM's existing shadow MMU code already supports nested TDP. To use it, we
need to set up a new "MMU context" for nested EPT, and create a few callbacks
for it (nested_ept_*()). This context should also use the EPT versions of
the page table access functions (defined in the previous patch).
Then, we need to switch back and forth between this nested context and the
regular MMU context when switching between L1 and L2 (when L1 runs this L2
with EPT).

Nadav Har'El 37406aaaee nEPT: Add EPT tables support to paging_tmpl.h
This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's
nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use
EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest
to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1
getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the
previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page
tables over shadow page tables).

This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h.

paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code
for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so
paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once
with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions.

There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables
and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a
third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow
EPT table.

So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed
with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables.

Xiao Guangrong 1c118b8226 KVM: MMU: avoid fast page fault fixing mmio page fault
Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when
the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen).  It then returns
to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent.
This causes an infinite loop.

Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when
1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host
   the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call
   fault-page path with error_code = 0

2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered
   since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after
   memslot changed for 150 times

Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

Xiao Guangrong f8f559422b KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all mmio sptes
This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock

KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created

When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte

Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

freed. When page reclaiming is needed, we always zap this kind of
pages first.

Xiao Guangrong f34d251d66 KVM: MMU: collapse TLB flushes when zap all pages
kvm_zap_obsolete_pages uses lock-break technique to zap pages,
it will flush tlb every time when it does lock-break

We can reload mmu on all vcpus after updating the generation
number so that the obsolete pages are not used on any vcpus,
after that we do not need to flush tlb when obsolete pages
are zapped

It will do kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page many times and use one
kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page to collapse tlb flush, the side-effects
is that causes obsolete pages unlinked from active_list but leave
on hash-list, so we add the comment around the hash list walker

Note: kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page is still needed before free
the pages since other vcpus may be doing locklessly shadow
page walking

Xiao Guangrong 5304b8d37c KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all pages
The current kvm_mmu_zap_all is really slow - it is holding mmu-lock to
walk and zap all shadow pages one by one, also it need to zap all guest
page's rmap and all shadow page's parent spte list. Particularly, things
become worse if guest uses more memory or vcpus. It is not good for
scalability

In this patch, we introduce a faster way to invalidate all shadow pages.
KVM maintains a global mmu invalid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen and every shadow page stores the current global
generation-number into sp->mmu_valid_gen when it is created

When KVM need zap all shadow pages sptes, it just simply increase the
global generation-number then reload root shadow pages on all vcpus.
Vcpu will create a new shadow page table according to current kvm's
generation-number. It ensures the old pages are not used any more.
Then the obsolete pages (sp->mmu_valid_gen != kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen)
are zapped by using lock-break technique

Takuya Yoshikawa 7ddca7e43c KVM: MMU: Move kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() into kvm_mmu_alloc_page()
What this function is doing is to ensure that the number of shadow pages
does not exceed the maximum limit stored in n_max_mmu_pages: so this is
placed at every code path that can reach kvm_mmu_alloc_page().

Although it might have some sense to spread this function in each such
code path when it could be called before taking mmu_lock, the rule was
changed not to do so.

Taking this background into account, this patch moves it into
kvm_mmu_alloc_page() and simplifies the code.

Note: the unlikely hint in kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() guarantees that the
overhead of this function is almost zero except when we actually need to
allocate some shadow pages, so we do not need to care about calling it
multiple times in one path by doing kvm_mmu_get_page() a few times.

Takuya Yoshikawa 982b3394dd KVM: x86: Optimize mmio spte zapping when creating/moving memslot
When we create or move a memory slot, we need to zap mmio sptes.
Currently, zap_all() is used for this and this is causing two problems:
 - extra page faults after zapping mmu pages
 - long mmu_lock hold time during zapping mmu pages

For the latter, Marcelo reported a disastrous mmu_lock hold time during
hot-plug, which made the guest unresponsive for a long time.

This patch takes a simple way to fix these problems: do not zap mmu
pages unless they are marked mmio cached.  On our test box, this took
only 50us for the 4GB guest and we did not see ms of mmu_lock hold time
any more.

Note that we still need to do zap_all() for other cases.  So another
work is also needed: Xiao's work may be the one.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Xiao Guangrong caf6900f2d KVM: MMU: lazily drop large spte
Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later
read can fault on that spte. Actually, we can make the large spte readonly
instead of making them not present, the page fault caused by read access can
be avoided

The idea is from Avi:
| As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea,
| since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces
| jitter.  This removes the need for the return value.

Takuya Yoshikawa 6b81b05e44 KVM: MMU: Conditionally reschedule when kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() takes a long time
If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of
memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for
a long time such as tens of milliseconds.  This patch controls the lock
hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others.

One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing
mmu_lock.  But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not
only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a
whole, we should pay for that.

In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair
amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment,
cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory
even without THP.  We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work
later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed.

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally
in a later patch.  Although this may increase the time needed to protect
the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow
the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a
long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it
is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages.

Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of
slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number
of slots further.

Xiao Guangrong c22885050e KVM: MMU: fix Dirty bit missed if CR0.WP = 0
If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
readonly to writable

Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
sp.role

It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
and drop two parameters in set_spte

Xiao Guangrong c219346325 KVM: MMU: optimize for set_spte
There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte:
1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level()
    and acquiring mmu-lock.
2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when
    guest uses the target gfn as its page table.

In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case,
it works not good:
- for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and
  do expensive instruction emulation.
- for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing
  the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as
  huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then
  guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation.

Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it
will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page

Avi Kivity 97d64b7881 KVM: MMU: Optimize pte permission checks
walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is
performed four times per lookup.  It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe,
cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap.

Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a
bitmap.  The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change
(cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error
code, pte access permissions).

The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP
fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0.
Noted by Xiao Guangrong.

The result is short, branch-free code.

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also
write-protects clean gptes.  This is wrong when we are servicing a
write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but
correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a
read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to
set the dirty bit).

It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code

Takuya Yoshikawa 35f2d16bb9 KVM: MMU: Fix mmu_shrink() so that it can free mmu pages as intended
Although the possible race described in

  commit 85b7059169
  KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu

was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of
mmu_shrink() introduced by

  commit 1952639665
  KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink()

Here is the bug:

	if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) {
		if (!nr_to_scan--)
			break;
		continue;
	}

We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others:
in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake.

This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from
the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero.  Note that we also add
comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically
important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

With the preceding patches in the patch series, this made THP page

Takuya Yoshikawa 84504ef386 KVM: MMU: Make kvm_handle_hva() handle range of addresses
When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call
kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to
invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page:

  for each page
    for each memslot
      if page is in memslot
        unmap using rmap

This means although every page in that range is expected to be found in
the same memslot, we are forced to check unrelated memslots many times.
If the guest has more memslots, the situation will become worse.

Furthermore, if the range does not include any pages in the guest's
memory, the loop over the pages will just consume extra time.

This patch, together with the following patches, solves this problem by
introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() which makes the loop look like this:

  for each memslot
    for each page in memslot
      unmap using rmap

In this new processing, the actual work is converted to a loop over rmap
which is much more cache friendly than before.

Avi Kivity e676505ac9 KVM: MMU: Force cr3 reload with two dimensional paging on mov cr3 emulation
Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging
is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active.
This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will
write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its
old value and this is what the guest sees.

This bug did not have any effect until now because:
- with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a
  mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is
  ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3
  is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging

However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3
instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable
by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest.

The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3
reload.  This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same
thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing
that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix.

Observed in the Window XP 32-bit installer while bringing up secondary vcpus.

I see this in 3.5-rc1:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function ‘kvm_test_age_rmapp’:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:1271: warning: ‘iter.desc’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The line in question was introduced by commit
1e3f42f03c

 static int kvm_test_age_rmapp(struct kvm *kvm, unsigned long *rmapp,
                              unsigned long data)
 {
-       u64 *spte;
+       u64 *sptep;
+       struct rmap_iterator iter;   <- line 1271
        int young = 0;

        /*

The reason I think is that the compiler assumes that
the rmap value could be 0, so

static u64 *rmap_get_first(unsigned long rmap, struct rmap_iterator
*iter)
{
        if (!rmap)
                return NULL;

        if (!(rmap & 1)) {
                iter->desc = NULL;
                return (u64 *)rmap;
        }

        iter->desc = (struct pte_list_desc *)(rmap & ~1ul);
        iter->pos = 0;
        return iter->desc->sptes[iter->pos];
}

will not initialize iter.desc, but the compiler isn't
smart enough to see that

        for (sptep = rmap_get_first(*rmapp, &iter); sptep;
             sptep = rmap_get_next(&iter)) {

will immediately exit in this case.
I checked by adding
        if (!*rmapp)
                goto out;
on top which is clearly equivalent but disables the warning.

This patch uses uninitialized_var to disable the warning without
increasing code size.

Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.

Takuya Yoshikawa 1e3f42f03c KVM: MMU: Improve iteration through sptes from rmap
Iteration using rmap_next(), the actual body is pte_list_next(), is
inefficient: every time we call it we start from checking whether rmap
holds a single spte or points to a descriptor which links more sptes.

In the case of shadow paging, this quadratic total iteration cost is a
problem.  Even for two dimensional paging, with EPT/NPT on, in which we
almost always have a single mapping, the extra checks at the end of the
iteration should be eliminated.

This patch fixes this by introducing rmap_iterator which keeps the
iteration context for the next search.  Furthermore the implementation
of rmap_next() is splitted into two functions, rmap_get_first() and
rmap_get_next(), to avoid repeatedly checking whether the rmap being
iterated on has only one spte.

Although there seemed to be only a slight change for EPT/NPT, the actual
improvement was significant: we observed that GET_DIRTY_LOG for 1GB
dirty memory became 15% faster than before.  This is probably because
the new code is easy to make branch predictions.

Note: we just remove pte_list_next() because we can think of parent_ptes
as a reverse mapping.

We have PTE_LIST_EXT + 1 pointers in this structure and these 40/20
bytes do not fit cache lines well.  Furthermore, some allocators may
use 64/32-byte objects for the pte_list_desc cache.

This patch solves this problem by changing PTE_LIST_EXT from 4 to 3.

For shadow paging, the new size is still large enough to hold both the
kernel and process mappings for usual anonymous pages.  For file
mappings, there may be a slight change in the cache usage.

Note: with EPT/NPT we almost always have a single spte in each reverse
mapping and we will not see any change by this.

Takuya Yoshikawa 95d4c16ce7 KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()
Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.

The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.

To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.

This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.

Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

argument to avoid this.

This is also needed for the following dirty logging optimization.

Chris Wright fb92045843 KVM: MMU: remove KVM host pv mmu support
The host side pv mmu support has been marked for feature removal in
January 2011.  It's not in use, is slower than shadow or hardware
assisted paging, and a maintenance burden.  It's November 2011, time to
remove it.

Xiao Guangrong a30f47cb15 KVM: MMU: improve write flooding detected
Detecting write-flooding does not work well, when we handle page written, if
the last speculative spte is not accessed, we treat the page is
write-flooding, however, we can speculative spte on many path, such as pte
prefetch, page synced, that means the last speculative spte may be not point
to the written page and the written page can be accessed via other sptes, so
depends on the Accessed bit of the last speculative spte is not enough

Instead of detected page accessed, we can detect whether the spte is accessed
after it is written, if the spte is not accessed but it is written frequently,
we treat is not a page table or it not used for a long time

Xiao Guangrong 5d9ca30e96 KVM: MMU: fix detecting misaligned accessed
Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit,
for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb'
instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will
treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped
