Jan Kiszka 4d25a066b6 KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuid
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.

This is broken in several ways:
 - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
   deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
 - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
   timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
   breaking it
 - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.

Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.

Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

[avi: add the KVM_CAP + documentation]

Alex Williamson 3d27e23b17 KVM: Device assignment permission checks
Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which:

 - Are not bridges
 - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices)
 - The user has permissions to use

Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and
typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway.
Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that
also don't have host drivers.  We don't want users to hold such devices
captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu
domain.  We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user
has access to the PCI sysfs resource files.  By default a normal user
will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication
that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

Sasha Levin 8c3ba334f8 KVM: x86: Raise the hard VCPU count limit
The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254.

This will allow developers to easily work on scalability
and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without
patching the kernel.

To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS
now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this
should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
returns the hard limit which is now 254.

Rusty Russell e22a539824 lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr.  If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.

The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

Rusty Russell 3c3ed482dc lguest: Simplify device initialization.
We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status.  However,
it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to
initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation.

In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the
status byte before starting the device service threads.  But this
corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which
might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device.  So we
had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the
threads anyway.

Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that
point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have
acked.  On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and
start servicing the device.

Glauber Costa 9ddabbe72e KVM: KVM Steal time guest/host interface
To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information
about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM.
This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse
we decided not to make.

In this patchset, I am introducing a new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, that
holds the memory area address containing information about steal time

This patch contains the headers for it. I am keeping it separate to facilitate
backports to people who wants to backport the kernel part but not the
hypervisor, or the other way around.

Paul Mackerras aa04b4cc5b KVM: PPC: Allocate RMAs (Real Mode Areas) at boot for use by guests
This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
Offset (RMO) facility.  These processors require a physically
contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest.  When the guest does
an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
the real address for the access.  The size of the RMA has to be one of
a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
and some larger powers of 2.

Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator.  The
size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.

KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
of the pool of preallocated RMAs.  The capability value is 1 if the
processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.

This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA.  It
also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.

Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl calls from userspace.  To cope with this, we now preallocate the
kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
for up to 64GB of guest memory.  Subsequently we will get rid of this
array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.

This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region.  Also, instead of having to look
up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB.  However, if we are
adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
RMA.

Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
uses RMA or VRMA for the guest.  This moves the LPCR value into the
kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
interrupt request.

Paul Mackerras 371fefd6f2 KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modes
This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one
hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads
per core on POWER7.  The host still has to run single-threaded.

This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
capability.  The return value of the ioctl querying this capability
is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4.

To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads
active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined.
This will put the secondary threads into nap mode.  KVM will then
wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while
they are still offline).  To wake the secondary threads, we send
them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c.  In other words, at this stage
we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and
we are using icp-native.c to drive it.  Since the woken thread will
need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base
physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys()
for use in the low-level KVM book3s code.

When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core.
The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the
number of threads per core in the host.  This number is exported
to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability.  If qemu wishes
to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu
numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core.

We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute
the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host.  We currently
implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads
are runnable or blocked.  This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere
in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU
by the other vcpus.

When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the
vcpu threads.  The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep
until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu,
or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu
thread goes from busy in host state to blocked).

It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g.
because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already
running.  In that case it can start to run immediately as long as
the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest.
We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start
to execute the guest.  It synchronizes with the other threads via
the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go
into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it
is ready to actually enter the guest.

Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread
number and the vcpu number.  Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus

David Gibson 54738c0971 KVM: PPC: Accelerate H_PUT_TCE by implementing it in real mode
This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
implementing it in real mode.  H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
PAPR interface.

Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables.  The
ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
created table.  The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
of host/guest context switches during guest IO.

There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
most of the time.  Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
when we need to reset the table.  More importantly, we will in the
future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
checkpoint resume or migration.

Paul Mackerras de56a948b9 KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode
This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode.  Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode.  That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host.  This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.

This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses.  That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification.  In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.

Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.

This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.

With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest.  We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest.  Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.

We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.

In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount.  Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.

The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition.  MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest.  At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.

This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA).  We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management.  This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.

This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

This is a shared page used for paravirtualization.  It is always present
in the guest kernel's effective address space at the address indicated

The physical address specified by the hypercall is not used, as
e500 does not have real mode.

Avi Kivity 411c588dfb KVM: MMU: Adjust shadow paging to work when SMEP=1 and CR0.WP=0
When CR0.WP=0, we sometimes map user pages as kernel pages (to allow
the kernel to write to them).  Unfortunately this also allows the kernel
to fetch from these pages, even if CR4.SMEP is set.

Adjust for this by also setting NX on the spte in these circumstances.
