KVM: arm64: Opportunistically turn off WFI trapping when using direct LPI injection

2019-11-08T11:14:36+00:00

Just like we do for WFE trapping, it can be useful to turn off WFI trapping when the physical CPU is not oversubscribed (that is, the vcpu is the only runnable process on this CPU) *and* that we're using direct injection of interrupts. The conditions are reevaluated on each vcpu_load(), ensuring that we don't switch to this mode on a busy system. On a GICv4 system, this has the effect of reducing the generation of doorbell interrupts to zero when the right conditions are met, which is a huge improvement over the current situation (where the doorbells are screaming if the CPU ever hits a blocking WFI).

KVM: arm/arm64: Allow reporting non-ISV data aborts to userspace

2019-10-21T17:59:44+00:00

For a long time, if a guest accessed memory outside of a memslot using any of the load/store instructions in the architecture which doesn't supply decoding information in the ESR_EL2 (the ISV bit is not set), the kernel would print the following message and terminate the VM as a result of returning -ENOSYS to userspace: load/store instruction decoding not implemented The reason behind this message is that KVM assumes that all accesses outside a memslot is an MMIO access which should be handled by userspace, and we originally expected to eventually implement some sort of decoding of load/store instructions where the ISV bit was not set. However, it turns out that many of the instructions which don't provide decoding information on abort are not safe to use for MMIO accesses, and the remaining few that would potentially make sense to use on MMIO accesses, such as those with register writeback, are not used in practice. It also turns out that fetching an instruction from guest memory can be a pretty horrible affair, involving stopping all CPUs on SMP systems, handling multiple corner cases of address translation in software, and more. It doesn't appear likely that we'll ever implement this in the kernel. What is much more common is that a user has misconfigured his/her guest and is actually not accessing an MMIO region, but just hitting some random hole in the IPA space. In this scenario, the error message above is almost misleading and has led to a great deal of confusion over the years. It is, nevertheless, ABI to userspace, and we therefore need to introduce a new capability that userspace explicitly enables to change behavior. This patch introduces KVM_CAP_ARM_NISV_TO_USER (NISV meaning Non-ISV) which does exactly that, and introduces a new exit reason to report the event to userspace. User space can then emulate an exception to the guest, restart the guest, suspend the guest, or take any other appropriate action as per the policy of the running system.

KVM: arm/arm64: Add save/restore support for firmware workaround state

2019-07-05T12:56:27+00:00

KVM implements the firmware interface for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities. Guests may use this interface to ensure mitigation is active. If we want to migrate such a guest to a host with a different support level for those workarounds, migration might need to fail, to ensure that critical guests don't loose their protection. Introduce a way for userland to save and restore the workarounds state. On restoring we do checks that make sure we don't downgrade our mitigation level.

KVM: arm/arm64: Context-switch ptrauth registers

2019-04-24T14:30:40+00:00

When pointer authentication is supported, a guest may wish to use it. This patch adds the necessary KVM infrastructure for this to work, with a semi-lazy context switch of the pointer auth state. Pointer authentication feature is only enabled when VHE is built in the kernel and present in the CPU implementation so only VHE code paths are modified. When we schedule a vcpu, we disable guest usage of pointer authentication instructions and accesses to the keys. While these are disabled, we avoid context-switching the keys. When we trap the guest trying to use pointer authentication functionality, we change to eagerly context-switching the keys, and enable the feature. The next time the vcpu is scheduled out/in, we start again. However the host key save is optimized and implemented inside ptrauth instruction/register access trap. Pointer authentication consists of address authentication and generic authentication, and CPUs in a system might have varied support for either. Where support for either feature is not uniform, it is hidden from guests via ID register emulation, as a result of the cpufeature framework in the host. Unfortunately, address authentication and generic authentication cannot be trapped separately, as the architecture provides a single EL2 trap covering both. If we wish to expose one without the other, we cannot prevent a (badly-written) guest from intermittently using a feature which is not uniformly supported (when scheduled on a physical CPU which supports the relevant feature). Hence, this patch expects both type of authentication to be present in a cpu. This switch of key is done from guest enter/exit assembly as preparation for the upcoming in-kernel pointer authentication support. Hence, these key switching routines are not implemented in C code as they may cause pointer authentication key signing error in some situations.

KVM: arm/arm64: Enable adaptative WFE trapping

2018-07-09T10:38:24+00:00

Trapping blocking WFE is extremely beneficial in situations where the system is oversubscribed, as it allows another thread to run while being blocked. In a non-oversubscribed environment, this is the complete opposite, and trapping WFE is just unnecessary overhead. Let's only enable WFE trapping if the CPU has more than a single task to run (that is, more than just the vcpu thread). Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier
