The kvm API is a set of ioctls that are issued to control various aspects
|
2019-11-29 18:17:30 +00:00
|
|
|
of a virtual machine. The ioctls belong to the following classes:
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- System ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the
|
|
|
|
|
whole kvm subsystem. In addition a system ioctl is used to create
|
2019-02-15 20:48:38 +00:00
|
|
|
virtual machines.
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- VM ioctls: These query and set attributes that affect an entire virtual
|
|
|
|
|
machine, for example memory layout. In addition a VM ioctl is used to
|
2019-02-15 20:48:39 +00:00
|
|
|
create virtual cpus (vcpus) and devices.
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-15 20:48:38 +00:00
|
|
|
VM ioctls must be issued from the same process (address space) that was
|
|
|
|
|
used to create the VM.
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation
|
|
|
|
|
of a single virtual cpu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-15 20:48:38 +00:00
|
|
|
vcpu ioctls should be issued from the same thread that was used to create
|
|
|
|
|
the vcpu, except for asynchronous vcpu ioctl that are marked as such in
|
|
|
|
|
the documentation. Otherwise, the first ioctl after switching threads
|
|
|
|
|
could see a performance impact.

|
|
|

2019-02-15 20:48:39 +00:00
|
|

- device ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation
|
|
|
|
|
of a single device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
device ioctls must be issued from the same process (address space) that
|
|
|
|
|
was used to create the VM.

2. File descriptors
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
===================
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial
|
|
|
|
|
open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this
|
2009-12-24 01:04:16 +00:00
|
|
|
handle will create a VM file descriptor which can be used to issue VM
|
2019-02-15 20:48:39 +00:00
|
|
|
ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU or KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl on a VM fd will
|
|
|
|
|
create a virtual cpu or device and return a file descriptor pointing to
|
|
|
|
|
the new resource. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu or device fd can be used
|
|
|
|
|
to control the vcpu or device. For vcpus, this includes the important
|
|
|
|
|
task of actually running guest code.
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means
|
|
|
|
|
of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These
|
|
|
|
|
kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will
|
|
|
|
|
not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by
|
2019-02-15 20:48:38 +00:00
|
|
|
the API. See "General description" for details on the ioctl usage
|
|
|
|
|
model that is supported by KVM.

KVM: doc: Document the life cycle of a VM and its resources
The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
cgroup.
While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep
the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
resources.
Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier
isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

|
|
=============
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of Linux 2.6.22, the KVM ABI has been stabilized: no backward
|
|
|
|
|
incompatible change are allowed. However, there is an extension
|
|
|
|
|
facility that allows backward-compatible extensions to the API to be
|
|
|
|
|
queried and used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-17 16:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
The extension mechanism is not based on the Linux version number.
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Instead, kvm defines extension identifiers and a facility to query
|
|
|
|
|
whether a particular extension identifier is available. If it is, a
|
|
|
|
|
set of ioctls is available for application use.

|
|
which KVM extension provides this ioctl. Can be 'basic',

2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
which means that is will be provided by any kernel that supports
|
2014-10-12 08:34:00 +00:00
|
|
|
API version 12 (see section 4.1), a KVM_CAP_xyz constant, which
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
means availability needs to be checked with KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
|
2014-10-12 08:34:00 +00:00
|
|
|
(see section 4.4), or 'none' which means that while not all kernels
|
|
|
|
|
support this ioctl, there's no capability bit to check its
|
|
|
|
|
availability: for kernels that don't support the ioctl,
|
|
|
|
|
the ioctl returns -ENOTTY.

This identifies the API version as the stable kvm API. It is not

|
|
|

expected that this number will change. However, Linux 2.6.20 and
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.21 report earlier versions; these are not documented and not
|
|
|
|
|
supported. Applications should refuse to run if KVM_GET_API_VERSION

|
returns a value other than 12. If this check passes, all ioctls

On arm64, the physical address size for a VM (IPA Size limit) is limited
|
|
|
|
|
to 40bits by default. The limit can be configured if the host supports the
|
|
|
|
|
extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE. When supported, use
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(IPA_Bits) to set the size in the machine type
|
|
|
|
|
identifier, where IPA_Bits is the maximum width of any physical
|
|
|
|
|
address used by the VM. The IPA_Bits is encoded in bits[7-0] of the

machine type identifier.

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
as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered
hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all
the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are
runnable.

On powerpc using book3s_hv mode, the vcpus are mapped onto virtual
|
|
|
|
|
threads in one or more virtual CPU cores. (This is because the
|
|
|
|
|
hardware requires all the hardware threads in a CPU core to be in the
|
|
|
|
|
same partition.) The KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability indicates the number
|
2011-08-29 13:27:08 +00:00
|
|
|
of vcpus per virtual core (vcore). The vcore id is obtained by
|
|
|
|
|
dividing the vcpu id by the number of vcpus per vcore. The vcpus in a
|
|
|
|
|
given vcore will always be in the same physical core as each other
|
|
|
|
|
(though that might be a different physical core from time to time).
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace can control the threading (SMT) mode of the guest by its
|
|
|
|
|
allocation of vcpu ids. For example, if userspace wants
|
|
|
|
|
single-threaded guest vcpus, it should make all vcpu ids be a multiple
|
|
|
|
|
of the number of vcpus per vcore.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

This ioctl is used to run a guest virtual cpu. While there are no
|
|
|
|
|
explicit parameters, there is an implicit parameter block that can be
|
|
|
|
|
obtained by mmap()ing the vcpu fd at offset 0, with the size given by
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE. The parameter block is formatted as a 'struct

|

KVM: x86: Add support for local interrupt requests from userspace
In order to enable userspace PIC support, the userspace PIC needs to
be able to inject local interrupts even when the APICs are in the
kernel.
KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when
APICs are in the kernel.
The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC
will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not
masked the PIC).
When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it
kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives
in userspace.
When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is
triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt
if it had been pending.
Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace
renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to
high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while
it is low.
Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the
kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete
interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt.
Compiles for x86.
Can pass the KVM Unit Tests.

Queues an external interrupt to be injected. This ioctl is overleaded
|
|
|
|
|
with 3 different irq values:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) KVM_INTERRUPT_SET
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
This injects an edge type external interrupt into the guest once it's ready
|
|
|
|
|
to receive interrupts. When injected, the interrupt is done.
|
2010-08-31 00:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
This unsets any pending interrupt.

|
2010-08-31 00:03:32 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
This injects a level type external interrupt into the guest context. The
|
|
|
|
|
interrupt stays pending until a specific ioctl with KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET
|
|
|
|
|
is triggered.

Queues an external interrupt to be injected into the virtual CPU. This ioctl
|
2021-09-27 11:40:15 +00:00
|
|
|
is overloaded with 2 different irq values:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) KVM_INTERRUPT_SET
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This sets external interrupt for a virtual CPU and it will receive
|
|
|
|
|
once it is ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This clears pending external interrupt for a virtual CPU.

It tries to set the MSRs in array entries[] one by one. If setting an MSR
|
|
|
|
|
fails, e.g., due to setting reserved bits, the MSR isn't supported/emulated
|
|
|
|
|
by KVM, etc..., it stops processing the MSR list and returns the number of
|
|
|
|
|
MSRs that have been set successfully.

Defines the vcpu responses to the cpuid instruction. Applications
|
|
|
|
|
should use the KVM_SET_CPUID2 ioctl if available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM: x86: Alert userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN is broken
Warn userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN "may" cause guest
instability. Initialize last_vmentry_cpu to -1 and use it to detect if
the vCPU has been run at least once when its CPUID model is changed.
KVM does not correctly handle changes to paging related settings in the
guest's vCPU model after KVM_RUN, e.g. MAXPHYADDR, GBPAGES, etc... KVM
could theoretically zap all shadow pages, but actually making that happen
is a mess due to lock inversion (vcpu->mutex is held). And even then,
updating paging settings on the fly would only work if all vCPUs are
stopped, updated in concert with identical settings, then restarted.
To support running vCPUs with different vCPU models (that affect paging),
KVM would need to track all relevant information in kvm_mmu_page_role.
Note, that's the _page_ role, not the full mmu_role. Updating mmu_role
isn't sufficient as a vCPU can reuse a shadow page translation that was
created by a vCPU with different settings and thus completely skip the
reserved bit checks (that are tied to CPUID).
Tracking CPUID state in kvm_mmu_page_role is _extremely_ undesirable as
it would require doubling gfn_track from a u16 to a u32, i.e. would
increase KVM's memory footprint by 2 bytes for every 4kb of guest memory.
E.g. MAXPHYADDR (6 bits), GBPAGES, AMD vs. INTEL = 1 bit, and SEV C-BIT
would all need to be tracked.
In practice, there is no remotely sane use case for changing any paging
related CPUID entries on the fly, so just sweep it under the rug (after
yelling at userspace).

Caveat emptor:
|
|
|
|
|
- If this IOCTL fails, KVM gives no guarantees that previous valid CPUID
|
|
|
|
|
configuration (if there is) is not corrupted. Userspace can get a copy
|
|
|
|
|
of the resulting CPUID configuration through KVM_GET_CPUID2 in case.
|
|
|
|
|
- Using KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN, i.e. changing the guest vCPU model
|
|
|
|
|
after running the guest, may cause guest instability.
|
|
|
|
|
- Using heterogeneous CPUID configurations, modulo APIC IDs, topology, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
may cause guest instability.

Creates an interrupt controller model in the kernel.

On x86, creates a virtual ioapic, a virtual PIC (two PICs, nested), and sets up
|
|
|
|
|
future vcpus to have a local APIC. IRQ routing for GSIs 0-15 is set to both

KVM_CREATE_DEVICE, which also supports creating a GICv2. Using

|
|
|
|
KVM_CREATE_DEVICE is preferred over KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP for GICv2.
|
|
|
|

Sets the level of a GSI input to the interrupt controller model in the kernel.
|
2013-01-20 23:28:08 +00:00
|
|
|
On some architectures it is required that an interrupt controller model has
|
|
|
|
|
been previously created with KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP. Note that edge-triggered
|
|
|
|
|
interrupts require the level to be set to 1 and then back to 0.

|
|
|
|
|
2014-02-28 04:06:17 +00:00
|
|
|
On real hardware, interrupt pins can be active-low or active-high. This
|
|
|
|
|
does not matter for the level field of struct kvm_irq_level: 1 always
|
|
|
|
|
means active (asserted), 0 means inactive (deasserted).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
x86 allows the operating system to program the interrupt polarity
|
|
|
|
|
(active-low/active-high) for level-triggered interrupts, and KVM used
|
|
|
|
|
to consider the polarity. However, due to bitrot in the handling of
|
|
|
|
|
active-low interrupts, the above convention is now valid on x86 too.
|
|
|
|
|
This is signaled by KVM_CAP_X86_IOAPIC_POLARITY_IGNORED. Userspace
|
|
|
|
|
should not present interrupts to the guest as active-low unless this
|
|
|
|
|
capability is present (or unless it is not using the in-kernel irqchip,
|
|
|
|
|
of course).

KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Allow more than 256 vcpus for KVM_IRQ_LINE
While parts of the VGIC support a large number of vcpus (we
bravely allow up to 512), other parts are more limited.
One of these limits is visible in the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which
only allows 256 vcpus to be signalled when using the CPU or PPI
types. Unfortunately, we've cornered ourselves badly by allocating
all the bits in the irq field.
Since the irq_type subfield (8 bit wide) is currently only taking
the values 0, 1 and 2 (and we have been careful not to allow anything
else), let's reduce this field to only 4 bits, and allocate the
remaining 4 bits to a vcpu2_index, which acts as a multiplier:
vcpu_id = 256 * vcpu2_index + vcpu_index
With that, and a new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_IRQ_LINE_LAYOUT_2)
allowing this to be discovered, it becomes possible to inject
PPIs to up to 4096 vcpus. But please just don't.
Whilst we're there, add a clarification about the use of KVM_IRQ_LINE
on arm, which is not completely conditionned by KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP.

The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_INTERCEPT_HCALL flag requests KVM to generate

the contents of the hypercall page automatically; hypercalls will be
|
|
|
|

intercepted and passed to userspace through KVM_EXIT_XEN. In this

ase, all of the blob size and address fields must be zero.
|

The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND flag indicates to KVM that userspace
|
|
|
|

will always use the KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND ioctl to deliver event
|
|
|
|
|
channel interrupts rather than manipulating the guest's shared_info
|
|
|
|
|
structures directly. This, in turn, may allow KVM to enable features
|
|
|
|
|
such as intercepting the SCHEDOP_poll hypercall to accelerate PV
|
|
|
|
|
spinlock operation for the guest. Userspace may still use the ioctl
|
|
|
|
|
to deliver events if it was advertised, even if userspace does not

send this indication that it will always do so

When KVM_CAP_ADJUST_CLOCK is passed to KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, it returns the
|
|
|
|
|
set of bits that KVM can return in struct kvm_clock_data's flag member.
|
|
|
|
|

The following flags are defined:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CLOCK_TSC_STABLE
|
|
|
|
|
If set, the returned value is the exact kvmclock
|
|
|
|
|
value seen by all VCPUs at the instant when KVM_GET_CLOCK was called.
|
|
|
|
|
If clear, the returned value is simply CLOCK_MONOTONIC plus a constant
|
|
|
|
|
offset; the offset can be modified with KVM_SET_CLOCK. KVM will try
|
|
|
|
|
to make all VCPUs follow this clock, but the exact value read by each
|
|
|
|
|
VCPU could differ, because the host TSC is not stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CLOCK_REALTIME
|
|
|
|
|
If set, the `realtime` field in the kvm_clock_data
|
|
|
|
|
structure is populated with the value of the host's real time
|
|
|
|
|
clocksource at the instant when KVM_GET_CLOCK was called. If clear,
|
|
|
|
|
the `realtime` field does not contain a value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CLOCK_HOST_TSC
|
|
|
|
|
If set, the `host_tsc` field in the kvm_clock_data
|
|
|
|
|
structure is populated with the value of the host's timestamp counter (TSC)
|
|
|
|
|
at the instant when KVM_GET_CLOCK was called. If clear, the `host_tsc` field
|
|
|
|
|
does not contain a value.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the guest accesses a device that is being emulated by the host kernel in
|
|
|
|
|
such a way that a real device would generate a physical SError, KVM may make
|
|
|
|
|
a virtual SError pending for that VCPU. This system error interrupt remains
|
|
|
|
|
pending until the guest takes the exception by unmasking PSTATE.A.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the VCPU may cause it to take a pending SError, or make an access that
|
|
|
|
|
causes an SError to become pending. The event's description is only valid while
|
|
|
|
|
the VPCU is not running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This API provides a way to read and write the pending 'event' state that is not
|
|
|
|
|
visible to the guest. To save, restore or migrate a VCPU the struct representing
|
|
|
|
|
the state can be read then written using this GET/SET API, along with the other
|
|
|
|
|
guest-visible registers. It is not possible to 'cancel' an SError that has been
|
|
|
|
|
made pending.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A device being emulated in user-space may also wish to generate an SError. To do
|
|
|
|
|
this the events structure can be populated by user-space. The current state
|
|
|
|
|
should be read first, to ensure no existing SError is pending. If an existing
|
|
|
|
|
SError is pending, the architecture's 'Multiple SError interrupts' rules should
|
|
|
|
|
be followed. (2.5.3 of DDI0587.a "ARM Reliability, Availability, and
|
|
|
|
|
Serviceability (RAS) Specification").
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-07-19 15:24:23 +00:00
|
|
|
SError exceptions always have an ESR value. Some CPUs have the ability to
|
|
|
|
|
specify what the virtual SError's ESR value should be. These systems will
|
2018-08-20 21:39:25 +00:00
|
|
|
advertise KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_SERROR_ESR. In this case exception.has_esr will
|
2018-07-19 15:24:23 +00:00
|
|
|
always have a non-zero value when read, and the agent making an SError pending
|
|
|
|
|
should specify the ISS field in the lower 24 bits of exception.serror_esr. If
|
2018-08-20 21:39:25 +00:00
|
|
|
the system supports KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_SERROR_ESR, but user-space sets the events
|
2018-07-19 15:24:23 +00:00
|
|
|
with exception.has_esr as zero, KVM will choose an ESR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifying exception.has_esr on a system that does not support it will return
|
|
|
|
|
-EINVAL. Setting anything other than the lower 24bits of exception.serror_esr
|
|
|
|
|
will return -EINVAL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-10-11 11:07:06 +00:00
|
|
|
It is not possible to read back a pending external abort (injected via
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS or otherwise) because such an exception is always delivered
|
|
|
|
|
directly to the virtual CPU).

User space may need to inject several types of events to the guest.

|
|
|
|
2018-07-19 15:24:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Set the pending SError exception state for this VCPU. It is not possible to

'cancel' an Serror that has been made pending.

If the guest performed an access to I/O memory which could not be handled by
|
|
|
|
|
userspace, for example because of missing instruction syndrome decode
|
|
|
|
|
information or because there is no device mapped at the accessed IPA, then
|
|
|
|
|
userspace can ask the kernel to inject an external abort using the address
|
|
|
|
|
from the exiting fault on the VCPU. It is a programming error to set
|
|
|
|
|
ext_dabt_pending after an exit which was not either KVM_EXIT_MMIO or
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_EXIT_ARM_NISV. This feature is only available if the system supports
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_EXT_DABT. This is a helper which provides commonality in
|
|
|
|
|
how userspace reports accesses for the above cases to guests, across different
|
|
|
|
|
userspace implementations. Nevertheless, userspace can still emulate all Arm
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions by manipulating individual registers using the KVM_SET_ONE_REG API.

This ioctl allows the user to create, modify or delete a guest physical
|
|
|
|
|
memory slot. Bits 0-15 of "slot" specify the slot id and this value
|
|
|
|
|
should be less than the maximum number of user memory slots supported per
|
2019-03-28 16:24:03 +00:00
|
|
|
VM. The maximum allowed slots can be queried using KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS.
|
|
|
|
|
Slots may not overlap in guest physical address space.
|
2010-03-25 10:16:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-17 15:30:37 +00:00
|
|
|
If KVM_CAP_MULTI_ADDRESS_SPACE is available, bits 16-31 of "slot"
|
|
|
|
|
specifies the address space which is being modified. They must be
|
|
|
|
|
less than the value that KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION returns for the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_MULTI_ADDRESS_SPACE capability. Slots in separate address spaces
|
|
|
|
|
are unrelated; the restriction on overlapping slots only applies within
|
|
|
|
|
each address space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-03-28 16:22:31 +00:00
|
|
|
Deleting a slot is done by passing zero for memory_size. When changing
|
|
|
|
|
an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest physical memory space,
|
|
|
|
|
or its flags may be modified, but it may not be resized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-25 10:16:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Memory for the region is taken starting at the address denoted by the
|
|
|
|
|
field userspace_addr, which must point at user addressable memory for
|
|
|
|
|
the entire memory slot size. Any object may back this memory, including
|
|
|
|
|
anonymous memory, ordinary files, and hugetlbfs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-21 12:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
On architectures that support a form of address tagging, userspace_addr must
|
|
|
|
|
be an untagged address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-25 10:16:48 +00:00
|
|
|
It is recommended that the lower 21 bits of guest_phys_addr and userspace_addr
|
|
|
|
|
be identical. This allows large pages in the guest to be backed by large
|
|
|
|
|
pages in the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-30 10:40:41 +00:00
|
|
|
The flags field supports two flags: KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES and
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_MEM_READONLY. The former can be set to instruct KVM to keep track of
|
|
|
|
|
writes to memory within the slot. See KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl to know how to
|
|
|
|
|
use it. The latter can be set, if KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM capability allows it,
|
|
|
|
|
to make a new slot read-only. In this case, writes to this memory will be
|
|
|
|
|
posted to userspace as KVM_EXIT_MMIO exits.
|
2012-09-07 11:17:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability is available, changes in the backing of
|
|
|
|
|
the memory region are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an
|
|
|
|
|
mmap() that affects the region will be made visible immediately. Another
|
|
|
|
|
example is madvise(MADV_DROP).
|
2010-03-25 10:16:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-12-22 09:26:31 +00:00
|
|
|
Note: On arm64, a write generated by the page-table walker (to update
|
|
|
|
|
the Access and Dirty flags, for example) never results in a
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_EXIT_MMIO exit when the slot has the KVM_MEM_READONLY flag. This
|
|
|
|
|
is because KVM cannot provide the data that would be written by the
|
|
|
|
|
page-table walker, making it impossible to emulate the access.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, an abort (data abort if the cause of the page-table update
|
|
|
|
|
was a load or a store, instruction abort if it was an instruction
|
|
|
|
|
fetch) is injected in the guest.

This ioctl defines the physical address of a three-page region in the guest
|
|
|
|
|
physical address space. The region must be within the first 4GB of the
|
|
|
|
|
guest physical address space and must not conflict with any memory slot
|
|
|
|
|
or any mmio address. The guest may malfunction if it accesses this memory
|
|
|
|
|
region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This ioctl is required on Intel-based hosts. This is needed on Intel hardware
|
|
|
|
|
because of a quirk in the virtualization implementation (see the internals
|
|
|
|
|
documentation when it pops into existence).

in-kernel irqchip, the multiprocessing state must be maintained by userspace on
|

these architectures.

For arm64:
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a vCPU is in the KVM_MP_STATE_SUSPENDED state, KVM will emulate the
|
|
|
|
|
architectural execution of a WFI instruction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a wakeup event is recognized, KVM will exit to userspace with a
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT exit, where the event type is KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP. If
|
|
|
|
|
userspace wants to honor the wakeup, it must set the vCPU's MP state to
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE. If it does not, KVM will continue to await a wakeup
|
|
|
|
|
event in subsequent calls to KVM_RUN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If userspace intends to keep the vCPU in a SUSPENDED state, it is
|
|
|
|
|
strongly recommended that userspace take action to suppress the
|
|
|
|
|
wakeup event (such as masking an interrupt). Otherwise, subsequent
|
|
|
|
|
calls to KVM_RUN will immediately exit with a KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP
|
|
|
|
|
event and inadvertently waste CPU cycles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if userspace takes action to suppress a wakeup event,
|
|
|
|
|
it is strongly recommended that it also restores the vCPU to its
|
|
|
|
|
original state when the vCPU is made RUNNABLE again. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
if userspace masked a pending interrupt to suppress the wakeup,
|
|
|
|
|
the interrupt should be unmasked before returning control to the
|
|
|
|
|
guest.

This ioctl defines the physical address of a one-page region in the guest
|
|
|
|
|
physical address space. The region must be within the first 4GB of the
|
|
|
|
|
guest physical address space and must not conflict with any memory slot
|
|
|
|
|
or any mmio address. The guest may malfunction if it accesses this memory

|
region.

2017-08-24 18:51:35 +00:00

This ioctl would copy userspace's xsave struct to the kernel. It copies
|
|
|
|
|
as many bytes as are returned by KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2),
|
|

|
|
when invoked on the vm file descriptor. The size value returned by
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2) will always be at least 4096.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, it is only greater than 4096 if a dynamic feature has been

|
|
|
|
enabled with ``arch_prctl()``, but this may change in the future.

The offsets of the state save areas in struct kvm_xsave follow the

This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are supported by both the
|
|
|
|
|
hardware and kvm in its default configuration. Userspace can use the
|
|
|
|
|
information returned by this ioctl to construct cpuid information (for
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_SET_CPUID2) that is consistent with hardware, kernel, and
|
|
|
|
|
userspace capabilities, and with user requirements (for example, the
|
|
|
|
|
user may wish to constrain cpuid to emulate older hardware, or for
|
|
|
|
|
feature consistency across a cluster).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-01-05 12:35:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Dynamically-enabled feature bits need to be requested with
|
|
|
|
|
``arch_prctl()`` before calling this ioctl. Feature bits that have not
|
|
|
|
|
been requested are excluded from the result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-24 18:59:54 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that certain capabilities, such as KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS, may
|
|
|
|
|
expose cpuid features (e.g. MONITOR) which are not supported by kvm in
|
|
|
|
|
its default configuration. If userspace enables such capabilities, it
|
|
|
|
|
is responsible for modifying the results of this ioctl appropriately.
|
2010-07-14 06:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace invokes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2 structure
|
|
|
|
|
with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in the variable-size
|
|
|
|
|
array 'entries'. If the number of entries is too low to describe the cpu
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities, an error (E2BIG) is returned. If the number is too high,
|
|
|
|
|
the 'nent' field is adjusted and an error (ENOMEM) is returned. If the
|
|
|
|
|
number is just right, the 'nent' field is adjusted to the number of valid
|
|
|
|
|
entries in the 'entries' array, which is then filled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The entries returned are the host cpuid as returned by the cpuid instruction,
|
2010-09-12 14:39:11 +00:00
|
|
|
with unknown or unsupported features masked out. Some features (for example,
|
|
|
|
|
x2apic), may not be present in the host cpu, but are exposed by kvm if it can
|
|
|
|
|
emulate them efficiently. The fields in each entry are defined as follows:
|
2010-07-14 06:45:21 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
index:
|
|
|
|
|
the ecx value used to obtain the entry (for entries that are
|
2010-07-14 06:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
affected by ecx)

|
|
|
KVM_CPUID_FLAG_SIGNIFCANT_INDEX:
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|

eax, ebx, ecx, edx:

this function/index combination
|

|
|
2011-12-21 11:28:29 +00:00
|
|
|
The TSC deadline timer feature (CPUID leaf 1, ecx[24]) is always returned
|
|
|
|
|
as false, since the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP for local APIC
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
support. Instead it is reported via::
|
2011-12-21 11:28:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if that returns true and you use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, or if you emulate the
|
|
|
|
|
feature in userspace, then you can enable the feature for KVM_SET_CPUID2.

If KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID is set, devid contains a unique device identifier
|

|
|
|
for the device that wrote the MSI message. For PCI, this is usually a

|
|
|
BFD identifier in the lower 16 bits.

|
feature of KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API capability is enabled. If it is enabled,

address_hi bits 31-8 provide bits 31-8 of the destination id. Bits 7-0 of

address_hi must be zero.

If KVM_X2APIC_API_USE_32BIT_IDS feature of KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is

|
|
(reported by MSR_IA32_APICBASE) of its VCPU. x2APIC stores APIC ID in
|
|
|
|
|
the APIC_ID register (bytes 32-35). xAPIC only allows an 8-bit APIC ID
|
|
|
|
|
which is stored in bits 31-24 of the APIC register, or equivalently in
|
|
|
|
|
byte 35 of struct kvm_lapic_state's regs field. KVM_GET_LAPIC must then

be called after MSR_IA32_APICBASE has been set with KVM_SET_MSR.

With KVM_CAP_IOEVENTFD_ANY_LENGTH, a zero length ioeventfd is allowed, and

the kernel will ignore the length of guest write and may get a faster vmexit.

The speedup may only apply to specific architectures, but the ioeventfd will

work anyway.

This must be called whenever userspace has changed an entry in the shared

The "bitmap" field is the userspace address of an array. This array
|
|
|
|
|
consists of a number of bits, equal to the total number of TLB entries as
|
|
|
|
|
determined by the last successful call to KVM_CONFIG_TLB, rounded up to the
|
|
|
|
|
nearest multiple of 64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each bit corresponds to one TLB entry, ordered the same as in the shared TLB
|
|
|
|
|
array.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The array is little-endian: the bit 0 is the least significant bit of the
|
|
|
|
|
first byte, bit 8 is the least significant bit of the second byte, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
This avoids any complications with differing word sizes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "num_dirty" field is a performance hint for KVM to determine whether it
|
|
|
|
|
should skip processing the bitmap and just invalidate everything. It must
|
|
|
|
|
be set to the number of set bits in the bitmap.

The liobn field gives the logical IO bus number for which to create a
|
|
|
|
|
TCE table. The window_size field specifies the size of the DMA window
|
|
|
|
|
which this TCE table will translate - the table will contain one 64
|
|
|
|
|
bit TCE entry for every 4kiB of the DMA window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the guest issues an H_PUT_TCE hcall on a liobn for which a TCE
|
|
|
|
|
table has been created using this ioctl(), the kernel will handle it
|
|
|
|
|
in real mode, updating the TCE table. H_PUT_TCE calls for other
|
|
|
|
|
liobns will cause a vm exit and must be handled by userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The return value is a file descriptor which can be passed to mmap(2)
|
|
|
|
|
to map the created TCE table into userspace. This lets userspace read
|
|
|
|
|
the entries written by kernel-handled H_PUT_TCE calls, and also lets
|
|
|
|
|
userspace update the TCE table directly which is useful in some
|
|
|
|
|
circumstances.

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.

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.

The return value is a file descriptor which can be passed to mmap(2)
|
|
|
|
|
to map the allocated RMA into userspace. The mapped area can then be
|
|
|
|
|
passed to the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl to establish it as the
|
|
|
|
|
RMA for a virtual machine. The size of the RMA in bytes (which is
|
|
|
|
|
fixed at host kernel boot time) is returned in the rma_size field of
|
|
|
|
|
the argument structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability is 1 or 2 if the KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA ioctl
|
|
|
|
|
is supported; 2 if the processor requires all virtual machines to have
|
|
|
|
|
an RMA, or 1 if the processor can use an RMA but doesn't require it,

Queues an NMI on the thread's vcpu. Note this is well defined only
|
|
|
|
|
when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP has not been called, since this is an interface
|
|
|
|
|
between the virtual cpu core and virtual local APIC. After KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
|
|
|
|
|
has been called, this interface is completely emulated within the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use this to emulate the LINT1 input with KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, use the
|
|
|
|
|
following algorithm:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-03 15:46:21 +00:00
|
|
|
- pause the vcpu
|
2011-12-07 10:42:47 +00:00
|
|
|
- read the local APIC's state (KVM_GET_LAPIC)
|
|
|
|
|
- check whether changing LINT1 will queue an NMI (see the LVT entry for LINT1)
|
|
|
|
|
- if so, issue KVM_NMI
|
|
|
|
|
- resume the vcpu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Some guests configure the LINT1 NMI input to cause a panic, aiding in
|
|
|
|
|
debugging.

Using this ioctl, a single vcpu register can be set to a specific value
|
|
|
|
|
defined by user space with the passed in struct kvm_one_reg, where id
|
|
|
|
|
refers to the register identifier as described below and addr is a pointer
|
|
|
|
|
to a variable with the respective size. There can be architecture agnostic
|
|
|
|
|
and architecture specific registers. Each have their own range of operation
|
|
|
|
|
and their own constants and width. To keep track of the implemented
|
|
|
|
|
registers, find a list below:

userspace. When transferred to or from user memory via KVM_GET_ONE_REG

|
|
or KVM_SET_ONE_REG, the value of this register is of type

|
|
|
__u64[KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS], and encodes the set of vector lengths as

follows::

max_vq. This is the maximum vector length available to the guest on

KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS is only accessible after KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT initialises it to the best set of vector lengths that
|
|
|
|
|
the host supports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace may subsequently modify it if desired until the vcpu's SVE
|
|
|
|
|
configuration is finalized using KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE(KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from simply removing all vector lengths from the host set that
|
|
|
|
|
exceed some value, support for arbitrarily chosen sets of vector lengths
|
|
|
|
|
is hardware-dependent and may not be available. Attempting to configure
|
|
|
|
|
an invalid set of vector lengths via KVM_SET_ONE_REG will fail with
|
|
|
|
|
EINVAL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the vcpu's SVE configuration is finalized, further attempts to
|
|
|
|
|
write this register will fail with EPERM.

arm64 bitmap feature firmware pseudo-registers have the following bit pattern::

|
|
|
0x6030 0000 0016 <regno:16>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bitmap feature firmware registers exposes the hypercall services that
|
|
|
|
|
are available for userspace to configure. The set bits corresponds to the
|
|
|
|
|
services that are available for the guests to access. By default, KVM
|
|
|
|
|
sets all the supported bits during VM initialization. The userspace can
|
|
|
|
|
discover the available services via KVM_GET_ONE_REG, and write back the
|
|
|
|
|
bitmap corresponding to the features that it wishes guests to see via
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_SET_ONE_REG.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: These registers are immutable once any of the vCPUs of the VM has
|
|
|
|
|
run at least once. A KVM_SET_ONE_REG in such a scenario will return
|
|
|
|
|
a -EBUSY to userspace.

This ioctl sets a flag accessible to the guest indicating that the specified
|
|
|
|
|
vCPU has been paused by the host userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The host will set a flag in the pvclock structure that is checked from the
|
|
|
|
|
soft lockup watchdog. The flag is part of the pvclock structure that is
|
|
|
|
|
shared between guest and host, specifically the second bit of the flags
|
2012-03-10 19:37:27 +00:00
|
|
|
field of the pvclock_vcpu_time_info structure. It will be set exclusively by
|
|
|
|
|
the host and read/cleared exclusively by the guest. The guest operation of
|
2020-05-01 22:36:24 +00:00
|
|
|
checking and clearing the flag must be an atomic operation so
|
2012-03-10 19:37:27 +00:00
|
|
|
load-link/store-conditional, or equivalent must be used. There are two cases
|
|
|
|
|
where the guest will clear the flag: when the soft lockup watchdog timer resets
|
|
|
|
|
itself or when a soft lockup is detected. This ioctl can be called any time
|
|
|
|
|
after pausing the vcpu, but before it is resumed.

If KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID is set, devid contains a unique device identifier

BFD identifier in the lower 16 bits.

|
the "Server" class MMU emulation supported by KVM.
|
2013-06-05 10:24:37 +00:00
|
|
|
This can in turn be used by userspace to generate the appropriate

2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00

device-tree properties for the guest operating system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-04-05 02:31:00 +00:00
|
|
|
The structure contains some global information, followed by an
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
array of supported segment page sizes::
|
2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_ppc_smmu_info {
|

__u64 flags;
|

__u32 slb_size;

struct kvm_ppc_one_seg_page_size sps[KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_MAX_SZ];
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The supported flags are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_REAL:
|
|
|
|
|
When that flag is set, guest page sizes must "fit" the backing
|
|
|
|
|
store page sizes. When not set, any page size in the list can
|
|
|
|
|
be used regardless of how they are backed by userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_PPC_1T_SEGMENTS
|
|
|
|
|
The emulated MMU supports 1T segments in addition to the
|
|
|
|
|
standard 256M ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-10-08 03:24:30 +00:00
|
|
|
- KVM_PPC_NO_HASH
|
|
|
|
|
This flag indicates that HPT guests are not supported by KVM,
|
|
|
|
|
thus all guests must use radix MMU mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00
|
|
|
The "slb_size" field indicates how many SLB entries are supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "sps" array contains 8 entries indicating the supported base
|
|
|
|
|
page sizes for a segment in increasing order. Each entry is defined
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
as follow::
|
2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_ppc_one_seg_page_size {
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 page_shift; /* Base page shift of segment (or 0) */
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 slb_enc; /* SLB encoding for BookS */
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_ppc_one_page_size enc[KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_MAX_SZ];
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An entry with a "page_shift" of 0 is unused. Because the array is
|
|
|
|
|
organized in increasing order, a lookup can stop when encoutering
|
|
|
|
|
such an entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "slb_enc" field provides the encoding to use in the SLB for the
|
|
|
|
|
page size. The bits are in positions such as the value can directly
|
|
|
|
|
be OR'ed into the "vsid" argument of the slbmte instruction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "enc" array is a list which for each of those segment base page
|
|
|
|
|
size provides the list of supported actual page sizes (which can be
|
|
|
|
|
only larger or equal to the base page size), along with the
|
2013-05-08 23:56:16 +00:00
|
|
|
corresponding encoding in the hash PTE. Similarly, the array is
|
2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00
|
|
|
8 entries sorted by increasing sizes and an entry with a "0" shift
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
is an empty entry and a terminator::
|
2012-04-26 19:43:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_ppc_one_page_size {
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 page_shift; /* Page shift (or 0) */
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 pte_enc; /* Encoding in the HPTE (>>12) */
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "pte_enc" field provides a value that can OR'ed into the hash
|
|
|
|
|
PTE's RPN field (ie, it needs to be shifted left by 12 to OR it
|
|
|
|
|
into the hash PTE second double word).

Allows setting an eventfd to directly trigger a guest interrupt.
|
|
|
|
|
kvm_irqfd.fd specifies the file descriptor to use as the eventfd and
|
|
|
|
|
kvm_irqfd.gsi specifies the irqchip pin toggled by this event. When
|
2013-12-21 16:21:23 +00:00
|
|
|
an event is triggered on the eventfd, an interrupt is injected into
|
2012-06-29 15:56:16 +00:00
|
|
|
the guest using the specified gsi pin. The irqfd is removed using
|
|
|
|
|
the KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN flag, specifying both kvm_irqfd.fd
|
|
|
|
|
and kvm_irqfd.gsi.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-09-21 17:58:03 +00:00
|
|
|
With KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE, KVM_IRQFD supports a de-assert and notify
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism allowing emulation of level-triggered, irqfd-based
|
|
|
|
|
interrupts. When KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_RESAMPLE is set the user must pass an
|
|
|
|
|
additional eventfd in the kvm_irqfd.resamplefd field. When operating
|
|
|
|
|
in resample mode, posting of an interrupt through kvm_irq.fd asserts
|
|
|
|
|
the specified gsi in the irqchip. When the irqchip is resampled, such
|
2013-12-21 16:21:23 +00:00
|
|
|
as from an EOI, the gsi is de-asserted and the user is notified via
|
2012-09-21 17:58:03 +00:00
|
|
|
kvm_irqfd.resamplefd. It is the user's responsibility to re-queue
|
|
|
|
|
the interrupt if the device making use of it still requires service.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that closing the resamplefd is not sufficient to disable the
|
|
|
|
|
irqfd. The KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_RESAMPLE is only necessary on assignment
|
|
|
|
|
and need not be specified with KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN.
|
|
|
|
|

2022-03-08 17:28:57 +00:00

On arm64, gsi routing being supported, the following can happen:

|
|
|
|
2016-07-22 16:20:41 +00:00
|
|
|
- in case no routing entry is associated to this gsi, injection fails
|
|
|
|
|
- in case the gsi is associated to an irqchip routing entry,
|
|
|
|
|
irqchip.pin + 32 corresponds to the injected SPI ID.
|
2016-07-22 16:20:42 +00:00

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurable
This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

This requests the host kernel to allocate an MMU hash table for a

anything if the kernel is configured to use the Book 3S HV style of

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurable
This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPT
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on
this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes
create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability,
KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl
takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to
read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is
intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries
or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in
the first doubleword).
This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for
live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information
about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the
end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return
information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read.
A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last
read finished will return 0 bytes.
The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the
invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates
the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of
valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of
invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16
bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly
represented.

A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last

The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the
invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates
the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of
valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of
invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16
bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly

KVM: x86: add system attribute to retrieve full set of supported xsave states
Because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID is meant to be passed (by simple-minded
VMMs) to KVM_SET_CPUID2, it cannot include any dynamic xsave states that
have not been enabled. Probing those, for example so that they can be
passed to ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM, requires a new ioctl or arch_prctl.
The latter is in fact worse, even though that is what the rest of the
API uses, because it would require supported_xcr0 to be moved from the
KVM module to the kernel just for this use. In addition, the value
would be nonsensical (or an error would have to be returned) until
the KVM module is loaded in.
Therefore, to limit the growth of system ioctls, add a /dev/kvm
variant of KVM_{GET,HAS}_DEVICE_ATTR, and implement it in x86
with just one group (0) and attribute (KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP).

Userspace can call this function multiple times for a given vcpu, including
|
|
|
|
|
after the vcpu has been run. This will reset the vcpu to its initial
|
|
|
|
|
state. All calls to this function after the initial call must use the same
|
|
|
|
|
target and same set of feature flags, otherwise EINVAL will be returned.

Set up the processor specific debug registers and configure vcpu for

|
handling guest debug events. There are two parts to the structure, the
|
|
|
|
|
first a control bitfield indicates the type of debug events to handle
|
|
|
|
|
when running. Common control bits are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_ENABLE: guest debugging is enabled
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP: the next run should single-step
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The top 16 bits of the control field are architecture specific control
|
|
|
|
|
flags which can include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-07 16:29:57 +00:00
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_SW_BP: using software breakpoints [x86, arm64]
|
2021-04-07 14:48:56 +00:00
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP: using hardware breakpoints [x86, s390]
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW: using hardware debug events [arm64]
|
2014-09-09 16:27:18 +00:00
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_DB: inject DB type exception [x86]
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_BP: inject BP type exception [x86]
|
|
|
|
|
- KVM_GUESTDBG_EXIT_PENDING: trigger an immediate guest exit [s390]
|
KVM: x86: implement KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ
KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts
while running.
This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping
of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled:
* Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable.
When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled,
more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU
jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to
the breakpoint, to trigger it again.
From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a
single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward
progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated
script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the
breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically.
If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to
arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever.
* Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't
land the debugger into an interrupt handler.
* RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest:
We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping
but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler
it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed
to the stack.
This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions
can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances
of this happening.

- KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ: avoid injecting interrupts/NMI/SMI [x86]
|
2014-09-09 16:27:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_SW_BP indicates that software breakpoints
|
|
|
|
|
are enabled in memory so we need to ensure breakpoint exceptions are
|
|
|
|
|
correctly trapped and the KVM run loop exits at the breakpoint and not
|
|
|
|
|
running off into the normal guest vector. For KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP
|
|
|
|
|
we need to ensure the guest vCPUs architecture specific registers are
|
|
|
|
|
updated to the correct (supplied) values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second part of the structure is architecture specific and
|
|
|
|
|
typically contains a set of debug registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-07 16:30:02 +00:00
|
|
|
For arm64 the number of debug registers is implementation defined and
|
|
|
|
|
can be determined by querying the KVM_CAP_GUEST_DEBUG_HW_BPS and
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_GUEST_DEBUG_HW_WPS capabilities which return a positive number
|
|
|
|
|
indicating the number of supported registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-06-19 16:01:27 +00:00
|
|
|
For ppc, the KVM_CAP_PPC_GUEST_DEBUG_SSTEP capability indicates whether
|
|
|
|
|
the single-step debug event (KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP) is supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-06 14:24:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Also when supported, KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG2 capability indicates the
|
|
|
|
|
supported KVM_GUESTDBG_* bits in the control field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-09-09 16:27:18 +00:00
|
|
|
When debug events exit the main run loop with the reason
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch part of the kvm_run
|
|
|
|
|
structure containing architecture specific debug information.

This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are emulated by
|
|
|
|
|
kvm.Userspace can use the information returned by this ioctl to query
|
|
|
|
|
which features are emulated by kvm instead of being present natively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace invokes KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2
|
|
|
|
|
structure with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in
|
|
|
|
|
the variable-size array 'entries'. If the number of entries is too low
|
|
|
|
|
to describe the cpu capabilities, an error (E2BIG) is returned. If the
|
|
|
|
|
number is too high, the 'nent' field is adjusted and an error (ENOMEM)
|
|
|
|
|
is returned. If the number is just right, the 'nent' field is adjusted
|
|
|
|
|
to the number of valid entries in the 'entries' array, which is then
|
|
|
|
|
filled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The entries returned are the set CPUID bits of the respective features
|
|
|
|
|
which kvm emulates, as returned by the CPUID instruction, with unknown
|
|
|
|
|
or unsupported feature bits cleared.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Features like x2apic, for example, may not be present in the host cpu
|
|
|
|
|
but are exposed by kvm in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID because they can be
|
|
|
|
|
emulated efficiently and thus not included here.

|
Logical read/write:
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access logical memory, i.e. translate the given guest address to an absolute
|
|
|
|
|
address given the state of the VCPU and use the absolute address as target of
|
|
|
|
|
the access. "ar" designates the access register number to be used; the valid
|
|
|
|
|
range is 0..15.
|
|
|
|
|
Logical accesses are permitted for the VCPU ioctl only.
|
|
|
|
|
Logical accesses are permitted for non-protected guests only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported flags:
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY``
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION``
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY flag can be set to check whether the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding memory access would cause an access exception; however,
|
|
|
|
|
no actual access to the data in memory at the destination is performed.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, "buf" is unused and can be NULL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case an access exception occurred during the access (or would occur
|
|
|
|
|
in case of KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY), the ioctl returns a positive
|
|
|
|
|
error number indicating the type of exception. This exception is also
|
|
|
|
|
raised directly at the corresponding VCPU if the flag
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION is set.
|
2022-05-12 13:10:17 +00:00
|
|
|
On protection exceptions, unless specified otherwise, the injected
|
|
|
|
|
translation-exception identifier (TEID) indicates suppression.
|
2022-02-11 18:22:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag is set, storage key
|
|
|
|
|
protection is also in effect and may cause exceptions if accesses are
|
2022-02-21 14:36:57 +00:00
|
|
|
prohibited given the access key designated by "key"; the valid range is 0..15.
|
2022-02-11 18:22:14 +00:00
|
|
|
KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION is available if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
|
|
|
|
|
is > 0.
|
2022-05-12 13:10:17 +00:00
|
|
|
Since the accessed memory may span multiple pages and those pages might have
|
|
|
|
|
different storage keys, it is possible that a protection exception occurs
|
|
|
|
|
after memory has been modified. In this case, if the exception is injected,
|
|
|
|
|
the TEID does not indicate suppression.
|
2022-02-11 18:22:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Absolute read/write:
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access absolute memory. This operation is intended to be used with the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag, to allow accessing memory and performing
|
|
|
|
|
the checks required for storage key protection as one operation (as opposed to
|
|
|
|
|
user space getting the storage keys, performing the checks, and accessing
|
|
|
|
|
memory thereafter, which could lead to a delay between check and access).
|
|
|
|
|
Absolute accesses are permitted for the VM ioctl if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
|
2023-02-06 16:46:01 +00:00
|
|
|
has the KVM_S390_MEMOP_EXTENSION_CAP_BASE bit set.
|
2022-02-11 18:22:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Currently absolute accesses are not permitted for VCPU ioctls.
|
|
|
|
|
Absolute accesses are permitted for non-protected guests only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported flags:
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY``
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION``
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-02-06 16:46:01 +00:00
|
|
|
The semantics of the flags common with logical accesses are as for logical
|
|
|
|
|
accesses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Absolute cmpxchg:
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perform cmpxchg on absolute guest memory. Intended for use with the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of doing an unconditional write, the access occurs only if the target
|
|
|
|
|
location contains the value pointed to by "old_addr".
|
|
|
|
|
This is performed as an atomic cmpxchg with the length specified by the "size"
|
|
|
|
|
parameter. "size" must be a power of two up to and including 16.
|
|
|
|
|
If the exchange did not take place because the target value doesn't match the
|
|
|
|
|
old value, the value "old_addr" points to is replaced by the target value.
|
|
|
|
|
User space can tell if an exchange took place by checking if this replacement
|
|
|
|
|
occurred. The cmpxchg op is permitted for the VM ioctl if
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION has flag KVM_S390_MEMOP_EXTENSION_CAP_CMPXCHG set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported flags:
|
|
|
|
|
* ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION``
|
2022-02-11 18:22:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIDA read/write:
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access the secure instruction data area which contains memory operands necessary
|
|
|
|
|
for instruction emulation for protected guests.
|
|
|
|
|
SIDA accesses are available if the KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED capability is available.
|
|
|

|
|
|
This ioctl allows userspace to define up to 16 bitmaps of MSR ranges to deny
|
|
|
|
|
guest MSR accesses that would normally be allowed by KVM. If an MSR is not
|
|
|
|
|
covered by a specific range, the "default" filtering behavior applies. Each
|
|
|
|
|
bitmap range covers MSRs from [base .. base+nmsrs).
|
2021-03-16 17:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
If an MSR access is denied by userspace, the resulting KVM behavior depends on
|
|
|
|
|
whether or not KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR's KVM_MSR_EXIT_REASON_FILTER is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled. If KVM_MSR_EXIT_REASON_FILTER is enabled, KVM will exit to userspace
|
|
|
|
|
on denied accesses, i.e. userspace effectively intercepts the MSR access. If
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_MSR_EXIT_REASON_FILTER is not enabled, KVM will inject a #GP into the guest
|
|
|
|
|
on denied accesses.
|
2021-03-16 17:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
If an MSR access is allowed by userspace, KVM will emulate and/or virtualize
|
|
|
|
|
the access in accordance with the vCPU model. Note, KVM may still ultimately
|
|
|
|
|
inject a #GP if an access is allowed by userspace, e.g. if KVM doesn't support
|
|
|
|
|
the MSR, or to follow architectural behavior for the MSR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, KVM operates in KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW mode with no MSR range
|
|
|
|
|
filters.
|
2021-03-16 17:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling this ioctl with an empty set of ranges (all nmsrs == 0) disables MSR
|
|
|
|
|
filtering. In that mode, ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY`` is invalid and causes
|
|
|
|
|
an error.
|
|
|
|
|

2022-03-15 22:17:15 +00:00

|
.. warning::
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
MSR accesses as part of nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit are not filtered.
|
2022-03-15 22:17:15 +00:00
|
|
|
This includes both writes to individual VMCS fields and reads/writes
|
|
|
|
|
through the MSR lists pointed to by the VMCS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
x2APIC MSR accesses cannot be filtered (KVM silently ignores filters that
|
|
|
|
|
cover any x2APIC MSRs).
|
2021-03-16 17:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-07-12 00:10:44 +00:00
|
|
|
Note, invoking this ioctl while a vCPU is running is inherently racy. However,
|
|
|
|
|
KVM does guarantee that vCPUs will see either the previous filter or the new
|
|
|
|
|
filter, e.g. MSRs with identical settings in both the old and new filter will
|
|
|
|
|
have deterministic behavior.

|
|
|
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00
|
|
|
Similarly, if userspace wishes to intercept on denied accesses,
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_MSR_EXIT_REASON_FILTER must be enabled before activating any filters, and
|
|
|
|
|
left enabled until after all filters are deactivated. Failure to do so may
|
|
|
|
|
result in KVM injecting a #GP instead of exiting to userspace.

};
|
2016-03-01 06:54:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The aim of extension is to support an additional bigger DMA window with
|
|
|
|
|
a variable page size.
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_64 receives a 64bit window size, an IOMMU page shift and
|
|
|
|
|
a bus offset of the corresponding DMA window, @size and @offset are numbers
|
|
|
|
|
of IOMMU pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@flags are not used at the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rest of functionality is identical to KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE.

i8254 (PIT) has two modes, reinject and !reinject. The default is reinject,
|
|
|
|
|
where KVM queues elapsed i8254 ticks and monitors completion of interrupt from
|
|
|
|
|
vector(s) that i8254 injects. Reinject mode dequeues a tick and injects its
|
|
|
|
|
interrupt whenever there isn't a pending interrupt from i8254.
|
|
|
|
|
!reinject mode injects an interrupt as soon as a tick arrives.

|
|
|
KVM_PPC_MMUV3_GTSE. KVM_PPC_MMUV3_RADIX, if set, configures the guest

to use radix tree translation, and if clear, to use HPT translation.
|
|
|
|

KVM_PPC_MMUV3_GTSE, if set and if KVM permits it, configures the guest

|
|
|

|
* If preparation of the pending HPT is still in progress, return an

|
estimated number of milliseconds until preparation is complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If called with shift == 0, discards any currently pending HPT and
|
|
|
|
|
returns 0 (i.e. cancels any in-progress preparation).
|
|
|
|
|

flags is reserved for future expansion, currently setting any bits in
|
|
|
|
|
flags will result in an -EINVAL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally this will be called repeatedly with the same parameters until
|
|
|
|
|
it returns <= 0. The first call will initiate preparation, subsequent
|
|
|
|
|
ones will monitor preparation until it completes or fails.

This ioctl is used to get the values of the CMMA bits on the s390
|
|
|
|
|
architecture. It is meant to be used in two scenarios:
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-08-04 15:58:47 +00:00
|
|
|
- During live migration to save the CMMA values. Live migration needs
|
|
|
|
|
to be enabled via the KVM_REQ_START_MIGRATION VM property.
|
|
|
|
|
- To non-destructively peek at the CMMA values, with the flag
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_CMMA_PEEK set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ioctl takes parameters via the kvm_s390_cmma_log struct. The desired
|
|
|
|
|
values are written to a buffer whose location is indicated via the "values"
|
|
|
|
|
member in the kvm_s390_cmma_log struct. The values in the input struct are
|
|
|
|
|
also updated as needed.

|
|
|
|
2016-08-04 15:58:47 +00:00
|
|

Each CMMA value takes up one byte.

start_gfn is the number of the first guest frame whose CMMA values are
|
|
|
|
|
to be retrieved,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
count is the length of the buffer in bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
values points to the buffer where the result will be written to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If count is greater than KVM_S390_SKEYS_MAX, then it is considered to be
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_SKEYS_MAX. KVM_S390_SKEYS_MAX is re-used for consistency with
|
|
|
|
|
other ioctls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result is written in the buffer pointed to by the field values, and
|
|
|
|
|
the values of the input parameter are updated as follows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on the flags, different actions are performed. The only
|
|
|
|
|
supported flag so far is KVM_S390_CMMA_PEEK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default behaviour if KVM_S390_CMMA_PEEK is not set is:
|
|
|
|
|
start_gfn will indicate the first page frame whose CMMA bits were dirty.
|
|
|
|
|
It is not necessarily the same as the one passed as input, as clean pages
|
|
|
|
|
are skipped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
count will indicate the number of bytes actually written in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
It can (and very often will) be smaller than the input value, since the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer is only filled until 16 bytes of clean values are found (which
|
|
|
|
|
are then not copied in the buffer). Since a CMMA migration block needs
|
|
|
|
|
the base address and the length, for a total of 16 bytes, we will send
|
|
|
|
|
back some clean data if there is some dirty data afterwards, as long as
|
|
|
|
|
the size of the clean data does not exceed the size of the header. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows to minimize the amount of data to be saved or transferred over
|
|
|
|
|
the network at the expense of more roundtrips to userspace. The next
|
|
|
|
|
invocation of the ioctl will skip over all the clean values, saving
|
|
|
|
|
potentially more than just the 16 bytes we found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_S390_CMMA_PEEK is set:
|
|
|
|
|
the existing storage attributes are read even when not in migration
|
|
|
|
|
mode, and no other action is performed;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the output start_gfn will be equal to the input start_gfn,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the output count will be equal to the input count, except if the end of
|
|
|
|
|
memory has been reached.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In both cases:
|
|
|
|
|
the field "remaining" will indicate the total number of dirty CMMA values
|
|
|
|
|
still remaining, or 0 if KVM_S390_CMMA_PEEK is set and migration mode is
|
|
|
|
|
not enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mask is unused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
values points to the userspace buffer where the result will be stored.

This ioctl gives userspace information about certain characteristics

of the CPU relating to speculative execution of instructions and
|
|
|
|
|
possible information leakage resulting from speculative execution (see
|
|
|
|
|
CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754). The information is
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
returned in struct kvm_ppc_cpu_char, which looks like this::
|
2018-01-15 05:06:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00

2018-01-15 05:06:47 +00:00

__u64 character; /* characteristics of the CPU */
|
|
|

};
|
2018-01-15 05:06:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For extensibility, the character_mask and behaviour_mask fields
|
|
|
|
|
indicate which bits of character and behaviour have been filled in by
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel. If the set of defined bits is extended in future then
|
|
|
|
|
userspace will be able to tell whether it is running on a kernel that
|
|
|
|
|
knows about the new bits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The character field describes attributes of the CPU which can help
|
|
|
|
|
with preventing inadvertent information disclosure - specifically,
|
|
|
|
|
whether there is an instruction to flash-invalidate the L1 data cache
|
|
|
|
|
(ori 30,30,0 or mtspr SPRN_TRIG2,rN), whether the L1 data cache is set
|
|
|
|
|
to a mode where entries can only be used by the thread that created
|
|
|
|
|
them, whether the bcctr[l] instruction prevents speculation, and
|
|
|
|
|
whether a speculation barrier instruction (ori 31,31,0) is provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The behaviour field describes actions that software should take to
|
|
|
|
|
prevent inadvertent information disclosure, and thus describes which
|
|
|
|
|
vulnerabilities the hardware is subject to; specifically whether the
|
|
|
|
|
L1 data cache should be flushed when returning to user mode from the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, and whether a speculation barrier should be placed between an
|
|
|
|
|
array bounds check and the array access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These fields use the same bit definitions as the new
|
|
|
|
|
H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall.

If the platform supports creating encrypted VMs then this ioctl can be used

This ioctl can be used to register a guest memory region which may
|
|
|
|
|
contain encrypted data (e.g. guest RAM, SMRAM etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is used in the SEV-enabled guest. When encryption is enabled, a guest
|
|
|
|
|
memory region may contain encrypted data. The SEV memory encryption
|
|
|
|
|
engine uses a tweak such that two identical plaintext pages, each at
|
|
|
|
|
different locations will have differing ciphertexts. So swapping or
|
|
|
|
|
moving ciphertext of those pages will not result in plaintext being
|
|
|
|
|
swapped. So relocating (or migrating) physical backing pages for the SEV
|
|
|
|
|
guest will require some additional steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The current SEV key management spec does not provide commands to
|
|
|
|
|
swap or migrate (move) ciphertext pages. Hence, for now we pin the guest
|
|
|
|
|
memory region registered with the ioctl.

Coalesced I/O is a performance optimization that defers hardware
|
2018-10-13 23:09:56 +00:00
|
|
|
register write emulation so that userspace exits are avoided. It is
|
|
|
|
|
typically used to reduce the overhead of emulating frequently accessed
|
|
|
|
|
hardware registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-10-13 23:09:55 +00:00
|
|
|
When a hardware register is configured for coalesced I/O, write accesses
|
2018-10-13 23:09:56 +00:00
|
|
|
do not exit to userspace and their value is recorded in a ring buffer
|
|
|
|
|
that is shared between kernel and userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-10-13 23:09:55 +00:00
|
|
|
Coalesced I/O is used if one or more write accesses to a hardware
|
2018-10-13 23:09:56 +00:00
|
|
|
register can be deferred until a read or a write to another hardware
|
|
|
|
|
register on the same device. This last access will cause a vmexit and
|
|
|
|
|
userspace will process accesses from the ring buffer before emulating
|
2018-10-13 23:09:55 +00:00
|
|
|
it. That will avoid exiting to userspace on repeated writes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio. There is little difference
|
|
|
|
|
between coalesced mmio and pio except that coalesced pio records accesses
|
|
|
|
|
to I/O ports.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter
When building a list of filter events, it can sometimes be a challenge
to fit all the events needed to adequately restrict the guest into the
limited space available in the pmu event filter. This stems from the
fact that the pmu event filter requires each event (i.e. event select +
unit mask) be listed, when the intention might be to restrict the
event select all together, regardless of it's unit mask. Instead of
increasing the number of filter events in the pmu event filter, add a
new encoding that is able to do a more generalized match on the unit mask.
Introduce masked events as another encoding the pmu event filter
understands. Masked events has the fields: mask, match, and exclude.
When filtering based on these events, the mask is applied to the guest's
unit mask to see if it matches the match value (i.e. umask & mask ==
match). The exclude bit can then be used to exclude events from that
match. E.g. for a given event select, if it's easier to say which unit
mask values shouldn't be filtered, a masked event can be set up to match
all possible unit mask values, then another masked event can be set up to
match the unit mask values that shouldn't be filtered.
Userspace can query to see if this feature exists by looking for the
capability, KVM_CAP_PMU_EVENT_MASKED_EVENTS.
This feature is enabled by setting the flags field in the pmu event
filter to KVM_PMU_EVENT_FLAG_MASKED_EVENTS.
Events can be encoded by using KVM_PMU_ENCODE_MASKED_ENTRY().
It is an error to have a bit set outside the valid bits for a masked
event, and calls to KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER will return -EINVAL in
such cases, including the high bits of the event select (35:32) if
called on Intel.
With these updates the filter matching code has been updated to match on
a common event. Masked events were flexible enough to handle both event
types, so they were used as the common event. This changes how guest
events get filtered because regardless of the type of event used in the
uAPI, they will be converted to masked events. Because of this there
could be a slight performance hit because instead of matching the filter
event with a lookup on event select + unit mask, it does a lookup on event
select then walks the unit masks to find the match. This shouldn't be a
big problem because I would expect the set of common event selects to be
small, and if they aren't the set can likely be reduced by using masked
events to generalize the unit mask. Using one type of event when
filtering guest events allows for a common code path to be used.

**Ultravisor return codes**
|
|
|
|
|
The Ultravisor return (reason) codes are provided by the kernel if a
|
|
|
|
|
Ultravisor call has been executed to achieve the results expected by
|
|
|
|
|
the command. Therefore they are independent of the IOCTL return
|
|
|
|
|
code. If KVM changes `rc`, its value will always be greater than 0
|
|
|
|
|
hence setting it to 0 before issuing a PV command is advised to be
|
|
|
|
|
able to detect a change of `rc`.

been donated to the Ultravisor, making it usable by the kernel again.
|
|

**subcommands:**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_DUMP_INIT
|
|
|
|
|
Initializes the dump process of a protected VM. If this call does
|
|
|
|
|
not succeed all other subcommands will fail with -EINVAL. This
|
|
|
|
|
subcommand will return -EINVAL if a dump process has not yet been
|
|
|
|
|
completed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not all PV vms can be dumped, the owner needs to set `dump
|
|
|
|
|
allowed` PCF bit 34 in the SE header to allow dumping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_DUMP_CONFIG_STOR_STATE
|
|
|
|
|
Stores `buff_len` bytes of tweak component values starting with
|
|
|
|
|
the 1MB block specified by the absolute guest address
|
|
|
|
|
(`gaddr`). `buff_len` needs to be `conf_dump_storage_state_len`
|
|
|
|
|
aligned and at least >= the `conf_dump_storage_state_len` value
|
|
|
|
|
provided by the dump uv_info data. buff_user might be written to
|
|
|
|
|
even if an error rc is returned. For instance if we encounter a
|
|
|
|
|
fault after writing the first page of data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_DUMP_COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
|
If the subcommand succeeds it completes the dump process and lets
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_DUMP_INIT be called again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On success `conf_dump_finalize_len` bytes of completion data will be
|
|
|
|
|
stored to the `buff_addr`. The completion data contains a key
|
|
|
|
|
derivation seed, IV, tweak nonce and encryption keys as well as an
|
|
|
|
|
authentication tag all of which are needed to decrypt the dump at a
|
|
|
|
|
later time.

KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE

|
|
|
|
:Capability: KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED_ASYNC_DISABLE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prepare the current protected VM for asynchronous teardown. Most
|
|
|
|
|
resources used by the current protected VM will be set aside for a
|
|
|
|
|
subsequent asynchronous teardown. The current protected VM will then
|
|
|
|
|
resume execution immediately as non-protected. There can be at most
|
|
|
|
|
one protected VM prepared for asynchronous teardown at any time. If
|
|
|
|
|
a protected VM had already been prepared for teardown without
|
|
|
|
|
subsequently calling KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM, this call will
|
|
|
|
|
fail. In that case, the userspace process should issue a normal
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_DISABLE. The resources set aside with this call will need to
|
|
|
|
|
be cleaned up with a subsequent call to KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM
|
|
|
|
|
or KVM_PV_DISABLE, otherwise they will be cleaned up when KVM
|
|
|
|
|
terminates. KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE can be called again as soon
|
|
|
|
|
as cleanup starts, i.e. before KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM finishes.

|
|
|
|
|
Tear down the protected VM previously prepared for teardown with
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE. The resources that had been set aside
|
|
|
|
|
will be freed during the execution of this command. This PV command
|
|
|
|
|
should ideally be issued by userspace from a separate thread. If a
|
|
|
|
|
fatal signal is received (or the process terminates naturally), the
|
|
|
|
|
command will terminate immediately without completing, and the normal
|
|
|
|
|
KVM shutdown procedure will take care of cleaning up all remaining
|
|
|
|
|
protected VMs, including the ones whose teardown was interrupted by
|
|
|
|
|
process termination.

|
|
|

|
Sets the ABI mode of the VM to 32-bit or 64-bit (long mode). This
|
|
|
|
|
determines the layout of the shared info pages exposed to the VM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the guest physical frame number at which the Xen "shared info"
|
|
|
|
|
page resides. Note that although Xen places vcpu_info for the first
|
|
|
|
|
32 vCPUs in the shared_info page, KVM does not automatically do so
|
|
|
|
|
and instead requires that KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO be used
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly even when the vcpu_info for a given vCPU resides at the
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
"default" location in the shared_info page. This is because KVM may
|
|
|
|
|
not be aware of the Xen CPU id which is used as the index into the
|
|
|
|
|
vcpu_info[] array, so may know the correct default location.

Note that the shared info page may be constantly written to by KVM;
|
|
|
|
|
it contains the event channel bitmap used to deliver interrupts to
|
|
|
|
|
a Xen guest, amongst other things. It is exempt from dirty tracking
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms — KVM will not explicitly mark the page as dirty each
|
|
|
|
|
time an event channel interrupt is delivered to the guest! Thus,
|
|
|
|
|
userspace should always assume that the designated GFN is dirty if
|
|
|
|
|
any vCPU has been running or any event channel interrupts can be
|
|
|
|
|
routed to the guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Setting the gfn to KVM_XEN_INVALID_GFN will disable the shared info
|
|
|
|
|
page.

KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_UPCALL_VECTOR
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the exception vector used to deliver Xen event channel upcalls.
|
2022-03-03 15:41:25 +00:00
|
|
|
This is the HVM-wide vector injected directly by the hypervisor
|
|
|
|
|
(not through the local APIC), typically configured by a guest via
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ. This can be disabled again (e.g. for guest
|
|
|
|
|
SHUTDOWN_soft_reset) by setting it to zero.

KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_EVTCHN
|
|
|
|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND features. It configures
|
|
|
|
|
an outbound port number for interception of EVTCHNOP_send requests
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
from the guest. A given sending port number may be directed back to
|
|
|
|
|
a specified vCPU (by APIC ID) / port / priority on the guest, or to
|
|
|
|
|
trigger events on an eventfd. The vCPU and priority can be changed
|
|
|
|
|
by setting KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_UPDATE in a subsequent call, but but other
|
|
|
|
|
fields cannot change for a given sending port. A port mapping is
|
|
|
|
|
removed by using KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_DEASSIGN in the flags field. Passing
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_RESET in the flags field removes all interception of
|
|
|
|
|
outbound event channels. The values of the flags field are mutually
|
|
|
|
|
exclusive and cannot be combined as a bitmask.

KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_XEN_VERSION
|
|
|
|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND features. It configures
|
|
|
|
|
the 32-bit version code returned to the guest when it invokes the
|
|
|
|
|
XENVER_version call; typically (XEN_MAJOR << 16 | XEN_MINOR). PV
|
|
|
|
|
Xen guests will often use this to as a dummy hypercall to trigger
|
|
|
|
|
event channel delivery, so responding within the kernel without
|
|
|
|
|
exiting to userspace is beneficial.

KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG

|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG. It enables the
|
|
|
|
|
XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag which allows guest vCPUs to safely read
|
|
|
|
|
other vCPUs' vcpu_runstate_info. Xen guests enable this feature via
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
the VMASST_TYPE_runstate_update_flag of the HYPERVISOR_vm_assist

KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO
|

|
Sets the guest physical address of the vcpu_info for a given vCPU.
|
2022-03-03 15:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
As with the shared_info page for the VM, the corresponding page may be
|
|
|
|
|
dirtied at any time if event channel interrupt delivery is enabled, so
|
|
|
|
|
userspace should always assume that the page is dirty without relying
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
on dirty logging. Setting the gpa to KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA will disable

KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_TIME_INFO
|
|
|
|

Sets the guest physical address of an additional pvclock structure
|
|
|
|
|
for a given vCPU. This is typically used for guest vsyscall support.
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Setting the gpa to KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA will disable the structure.

KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADDR
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the guest physical address of the vcpu_runstate_info for a given
|
|
|
|
|
vCPU. This is how a Xen guest tracks CPU state such as steal time.
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Setting the gpa to KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA will disable the runstate area.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the runstate (RUNSTATE_running/_runnable/_blocked/_offline) of
|
|
|
|
|
the given vCPU from the .u.runstate.state member of the structure.
|
|
|
|
|
KVM automatically accounts running and runnable time but blocked
|
|
|
|
|
and offline states are only entered explicitly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_DATA
|
|
|
|
|
Sets all fields of the vCPU runstate data from the .u.runstate member
|
|
|
|
|
of the structure, including the current runstate. The state_entry_time
|
|
|
|
|
must equal the sum of the other four times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST
|
|
|
|
|
This *adds* the contents of the .u.runstate members of the structure
|
|
|
|
|
to the corresponding members of the given vCPU's runstate data, thus
|
|
|
|
|
permitting atomic adjustments to the runstate times. The adjustment
|
|
|
|
|
to the state_entry_time must equal the sum of the adjustments to the
|
|
|
|
|
other four times. The state field must be set to -1, or to a valid
|
|
|
|
|
runstate value (RUNSTATE_running, RUNSTATE_runnable, RUNSTATE_blocked
|
|
|
|
|
or RUNSTATE_offline) to set the current accounted state as of the
|
|
|
|
|
adjusted state_entry_time.

|
|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND features. It sets the Xen
|
|
|
|
|
vCPU ID of the given vCPU, to allow timer-related VCPU operations to
|
|
|
|
|
be intercepted by KVM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_TIMER
|
|
|
|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND features. It sets the
|
|
|
|
|
event channel port/priority for the VIRQ_TIMER of the vCPU, as well
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
as allowing a pending timer to be saved/restored. Setting the timer
|
|
|
|
|
port to zero disables kernel handling of the singleshot timer.

|
|
|
This attribute is available when the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM ioctl indicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND features. It sets the
|
|
|
|
|
per-vCPU local APIC upcall vector, configured by a Xen guest with
|
|
|
|
|
the HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector hypercall. This is typically
|
|
|
|
|
used by Windows guests, and is distinct from the HVM-wide upcall
|
2022-12-26 12:03:20 +00:00
|
|
|
vector configured with HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ. It is disabled by
|
|
|
|
|
setting the vector to zero.

``length`` must not be bigger than 2^31 - PAGE_SIZE bytes. The ``addr``
|
2021-06-21 11:17:16 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The size of the buffer to store the tags is ``(length / 16)`` bytes
|
|

|
(granules in MTE are 16 bytes long). Each byte contains a single tag
|
|

If an error occurs before any data is copied then a negative error code is

KVM: stats: Add documentation for binary statistics interface
This new API provides a file descriptor for every VM and VCPU to read
KVM statistics data in binary format.
It is meant to provide a lightweight, flexible, scalable and efficient
lock-free solution for user space telemetry applications to pull the
statistics data periodically for large scale systems. The pulling
frequency could be as high as a few times per second.
The statistics descriptors are defined by KVM in kernel and can be
by userspace to discover VM/VCPU statistics during the one-time setup
stage.
The statistics data itself could be read out by userspace telemetry
periodically without any extra parsing or setup effort.
There are a few existed interface protocols and definitions, but no
one can fulfil all the requirements this interface implemented as
below:
1. During high frequency periodic stats reading, there should be no
extra efforts except the stats data read itself.
2. Support stats annotation, like type (cumulative, instantaneous,
peak, histogram, etc) and unit (counter, time, size, cycles, etc).
3. The stats data reading should be free of lock/synchronization. We
don't care about the consistency between all the stats data. All
stats data can not be read out at exactly the same time. We really
care about the change or trend of the stats data. The lock-free
solution is not just for efficiency and scalability, also for the
stats data accuracy and usability. For example, in the situation
that all the stats data readings are protected by a global lock,
if one VCPU died somehow with that lock held, then all stats data
reading would be blocked, then we have no way from stats data that
which VCPU has died.
4. The stats data reading workload can be handed over to other
unprivileged process.

The returned file descriptor can be used to read VM/vCPU statistics data in
|
|
|
|
|
binary format. The data in the file descriptor consists of four blocks
|
|
|
|
|
organized as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------+
|
|
|
|
|
| Header |
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------+
|
|
|
|
|
| id string |
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------+
|
|
|
|
|
| Descriptors |
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------+
|
|
|
|
|
| Stats Data |
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------+
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from the header starting at offset 0, please be aware that it is
|
|
|
|
|
not guaranteed that the four blocks are adjacent or in the above order;
|
|
|
|
|
the offsets of the id, descriptors and data blocks are found in the
|
|
|
|
|
header. However, all four blocks are aligned to 64 bit offsets in the
|
|
|
|
|
file and they do not overlap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All blocks except the data block are immutable. Userspace can read them
|
|
|
|
|
only one time after retrieving the file descriptor, and then use ``pread`` or
|
|
|
|
|
``lseek`` to read the statistics repeatedly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All data is in system endianness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format of the header is as follows::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_stats_header {
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 flags;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 name_size;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 num_desc;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 id_offset;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 desc_offset;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 data_offset;
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``flags`` field is not used at the moment. It is always read as 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``name_size`` field is the size (in byte) of the statistics name string
|
|
|
|
|
(including trailing '\0') which is contained in the "id string" block and
|
|
|
|
|
appended at the end of every descriptor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``num_desc`` field is the number of descriptors that are included in the
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor block. (The actual number of values in the data block may be
|
|
|
|
|
larger, since each descriptor may comprise more than one value).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``id_offset`` field is the offset of the id string from the start of the
|
|
|
|
|
file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``desc_offset`` field is the offset of the Descriptors block from the start
|
|
|
|
|
of the file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``data_offset`` field is the offset of the Stats Data block from the start
|
|
|
|
|
of the file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The id string block contains a string which identifies the file descriptor on
|
|
|
|
|
which KVM_GET_STATS_FD was invoked. The size of the block, including the
|
|
|
|
|
trailing ``'\0'``, is indicated by the ``name_size`` field in the header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The descriptors block is only needed to be read once for the lifetime of the
|
|
|
|
|
file descriptor contains a sequence of ``struct kvm_stats_desc``, each followed
|
|
|
|
|
by a string of size ``name_size``.

KVM: stats: Add documentation for binary statistics interface
This new API provides a file descriptor for every VM and VCPU to read
KVM statistics data in binary format.
It is meant to provide a lightweight, flexible, scalable and efficient
lock-free solution for user space telemetry applications to pull the
statistics data periodically for large scale systems. The pulling
frequency could be as high as a few times per second.
The statistics descriptors are defined by KVM in kernel and can be
by userspace to discover VM/VCPU statistics during the one-time setup
stage.
The statistics data itself could be read out by userspace telemetry
periodically without any extra parsing or setup effort.
There are a few existed interface protocols and definitions, but no
one can fulfil all the requirements this interface implemented as
below:
1. During high frequency periodic stats reading, there should be no
extra efforts except the stats data read itself.
2. Support stats annotation, like type (cumulative, instantaneous,
peak, histogram, etc) and unit (counter, time, size, cycles, etc).
3. The stats data reading should be free of lock/synchronization. We

The ``name`` field is the name string of the statistics data. The name string
|
|
|
|
|
starts at the end of ``struct kvm_stats_desc``. The maximum length including
|
|
|
|
|
the trailing ``'\0'``, is indicated by ``name_size`` in the header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Stats Data block contains an array of 64-bit values in the same order
|
|
|
|
|
as the descriptors in Descriptors block.

This ioctl would copy current vcpu's xsave struct to the userspace. It
|
|
|
|
|
copies as many bytes as are returned by KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2)
|
|
|
|
|
when invoked on the vm file descriptor. The size value returned by
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2) will always be at least 4096.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, it is only greater than 4096 if a dynamic feature has been
|
|
|
|
|
enabled with ``arch_prctl()``, but this may change in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

struct {
|
|

__u64 ibv; /* Guest addr of interrupt bit vector */

} u;
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The type of operation is specified in the "op" field.
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_ZPCIOP_REG_AEN is used to register the VM for adapter event
|
|
|
|
|
notification interpretation, which will allow firmware delivery of adapter
|
|
|
|
|
events directly to the vm, with KVM providing a backup delivery mechanism;
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_ZPCIOP_DEREG_AEN is used to subsequently disable interpretation of
|
|
|
|
|
adapter event notifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The target zPCI function must also be specified via the "fh" field. For the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_S390_ZPCIOP_REG_AEN operation, additional information to establish firmware
|
|
|
|
|
delivery must be provided via the "reg_aen" struct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "pad" and "reserved" fields may be used for future extensions and should be
|
|
|
|
|
set to 0s by userspace.

4.138 KVM_ARM_SET_COUNTER_OFFSET
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:Capability: KVM_CAP_COUNTER_OFFSET
|
|
|
|
|
:Architectures: arm64
|
|
|
|
|
:Type: vm ioctl
|
|
|
|
|
:Parameters: struct kvm_arm_counter_offset (in)
|
|
|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability indicates that userspace is able to apply a single VM-wide
|
|
|
|
|
offset to both the virtual and physical counters as viewed by the guest
|
|
|
|
|
using the KVM_ARM_SET_CNT_OFFSET ioctl and the following data structure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_arm_counter_offset {
|
|
|
|
|
__u64 counter_offset;
|
|
|
|
|
__u64 reserved;
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The offset describes a number of counter cycles that are subtracted from
|
|
|
|
|
both virtual and physical counter views (similar to the effects of the
|
|
|
|
|
CNTVOFF_EL2 and CNTPOFF_EL2 system registers, but only global). The offset
|
|
|
|
|
always applies to all vcpus (already created or created after this ioctl)
|
|
|
|
|
for this VM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is userspace's responsibility to compute the offset based, for example,
|
|
|
|
|
on previous values of the guest counters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any value other than 0 for the "reserved" field may result in an error
|
|
|
|
|
(-EINVAL) being returned. This ioctl can also return -EBUSY if any vcpu
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl is issued concurrently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that using this ioctl results in KVM ignoring subsequent userspace
|
|
|
|
|
writes to the CNTVCT_EL0 and CNTPCT_EL0 registers using the SET_ONE_REG
|
|
|
|
|
interface. No error will be returned, but the resulting offset will not be
|
|
|
|
|
applied.

|
========================
|
2009-06-09 09:37:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Application code obtains a pointer to the kvm_run structure by
|
|
|
|
|
mmap()ing a vcpu fd. From that point, application code can control
|
|
|
|
|
execution by changing fields in kvm_run prior to calling the KVM_RUN
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl, and obtain information about the reason KVM_RUN returned by
|
|
|
|
|
looking up structure members.

|
|

|
|
|
/* in */
|
|
|
|
|
__u8 request_interrupt_window;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Request that KVM_RUN return when it becomes possible to inject external
|
|
|
|
|
interrupts into the guest. Useful in conjunction with KVM_INTERRUPT.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
__u8 immediate_exit;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This field is polled once when KVM_RUN starts; if non-zero, KVM_RUN
|
|
|
|
|
exits immediately, returning -EINTR. In the common scenario where a
|
|
|
|
|
signal is used to "kick" a VCPU out of KVM_RUN, this field can be used
|
|
|
|
|
to avoid usage of KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, which has worse scalability.
|
|
|
|
|
Rather than blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN, userspace can set up
|
|
|
|
|
a signal handler that sets run->immediate_exit to a non-zero value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This field is ignored if KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT is not available.
|
|

|
|
|
__u32 exit_reason;
|
|

When KVM_RUN has returned successfully (return value 0), this informs
|
|
|
|
|
application code why KVM_RUN has returned. Allowable values for this
|
|
|
|
|
field are detailed below.

KVM: arm64: uapi: Add kvm_debug_exit_arch.hsr_high
When userspace is debugging a VM, the kvm_debug_exit_arch part of the
kvm_run struct contains arm64 specific debug information: the ESR_EL2
value, encoded in the field "hsr", and the address of the instruction
that caused the exception, encoded in the field "far".
Linux has moved to treating ESR_EL2 as a 64-bit register, but unfortunately
kvm_debug_exit_arch.hsr cannot be changed because that would change the
memory layout of the struct on big endian machines:
Current layout: | Layout with "hsr" extended to 64 bits:
|
offset 0: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr) | offset 0: ESR_EL2[61:32] (hsr[61:32])
offset 4: padding | offset 4: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr[31:0])
offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far) | offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far)
which breaks existing code.
The padding is inserted by the compiler because the "far" field must be
aligned to 8 bytes (each field must be naturally aligned - aapcs64 [1],
page 18), and the struct itself must be aligned to 8 bytes (the struct must
be aligned to the maximum alignment of its fields - aapcs64, page 18),
which means that "hsr" must be aligned to 8 bytes as it is the first field
in the struct.
To avoid changing the struct size and layout for the existing fields, add a
new field, "hsr_high", which replaces the existing padding. "hsr_high" will
be used to hold the ESR_EL2[61:32] bits of the register. The memory layout,
both on big and little endian machine, becomes:
offset 0: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr)
offset 4: ESR_EL2[61:32] (hsr_high)
offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far)
The padding that the compiler inserts for the current struct layout is
unitialized. To prevent an updated userspace running on an old kernel
mistaking the padding for a valid "hsr_high" value, add a new flag,
KVM_DEBUG_ARCH_HSR_HIGH_VALID, to kvm_run->flags to let userspace know that
"hsr_high" holds a valid ESR_EL2[61:32] value.

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.

On FSL BookE PowerPC chips, the interrupt controller has a fast patch
|
|
|
|
|
interrupt acknowledge path to the core. When the core successfully
|
|
|
|
|
delivers an interrupt, it automatically populates the EPR register with
|
|
|
|
|
the interrupt vector number and acknowledges the interrupt inside
|
|
|
|
|
the interrupt controller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case the interrupt controller lives in user space, we need to do
|
|
|

the interrupt acknowledge cycle through it to fetch the next to be

|
|
|
|
delivered interrupt vector using this exit.

external interrupt has just been delivered into the guest. User space
|
|
|
|
|
should put the acknowledged interrupt vector into the 'epr' field.

KVM: fix bad user ABI for KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT
When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags
member that at the time was unused. Unfortunately this extensibility
mechanism has several issues:
- x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it
on x86 except for new events
- the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the
uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace. This is a
problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately
usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18.
Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there
that tells if the flags field is valid. To allow further extensibility,
in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many
of the values are valid. The availability of the new ndata field
is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to
fill in the field.
To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags
field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0].
The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit
userspace.

- for arm64, data[0] is set to KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_RESET_FLAG_PSCI_RESET2 if
|

--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SUSPEND exits are enabled with the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_ARM_SYSTEM_SUSPEND VM capability. If a guest invokes the PSCI
|
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM_SUSPEND function, KVM will exit to userspace with this event
|
|
|
|
|
type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is the sole responsibility of userspace to implement the PSCI
|
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM_SUSPEND call according to ARM DEN0022D.b 5.19 "SYSTEM_SUSPEND".
|
|
|
|
|
KVM does not change the vCPU's state before exiting to userspace, so
|
|
|
|
|
the call parameters are left in-place in the vCPU registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace is _required_ to take action for such an exit. It must
|
|
|
|
|
either:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Honor the guest request to suspend the VM. Userspace can request
|
|
|
|
|
in-kernel emulation of suspension by setting the calling vCPU's
|
|
|
|
|
state to KVM_MP_STATE_SUSPENDED. Userspace must configure the vCPU's
|
|
|
|
|
state according to the parameters passed to the PSCI function when
|
|
|
|
|
the calling vCPU is resumed. See ARM DEN0022D.b 5.19.1 "Intended use"
|
|
|
|
|
for details on the function parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Deny the guest request to suspend the VM. See ARM DEN0022D.b 5.19.2

KVM: arm/arm64: Allow reporting non-ISV data aborts to userspace
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 will typically return to userspace and ask it to do MMIO emulation on its
|
|
|
|
|
behalf. However, for certain classes of instructions, no instruction decode
|
|
|
|
|
(direction, length of memory access) is provided, and fetching and decoding
|
|
|
|
|
the instruction from the VM is overly complicated to live in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Historically, when this situation occurred, KVM would print a warning and kill
|
|
|
|
|
the VM. KVM assumed that if the guest accessed non-memslot memory, it was
|
|
|
|
|
trying to do I/O, which just couldn't be emulated, and the warning message was
|
|
|
|
|
phrased accordingly. However, what happened more often was that a guest bug
|
|
|
|
|
caused access outside the guest memory areas which should lead to a more
|
|
|
|
|
meaningful warning message and an external abort in the guest, if the access
|
|
|
|
|
did not fall within an I/O window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace implementations can query for KVM_CAP_ARM_NISV_TO_USER, and enable
|
|
|
|
|
this capability at VM creation. Once this is done, these types of errors will
|
|
|
|
|
instead return to userspace with KVM_EXIT_ARM_NISV, with the valid bits from
|
2022-03-08 17:28:57 +00:00
|
|
|
the ESR_EL2 in the esr_iss field, and the faulting IPA in the fault_ipa field.
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace can either fix up the access if it's actually an I/O access by
|
|
|
|
|
decoding the instruction from guest memory (if it's very brave) and continue
|
|
|
|
|
executing the guest, or it can decide to suspend, dump, or restart the guest.

For KVM_EXIT_X86_RDMSR, the "index" field tells userspace which MSR the guest

wants to read. To respond to this request with a successful read, userspace
|
2020-09-25 14:34:16 +00:00

|
|
writes the respective data into the "data" field and must continue guest

|
|

2022-08-31 00:17:06 +00:00

If the RDMSR request was unsuccessful, userspace indicates that with a "1" in

|
the "error" field. This will inject a #GP into the guest when the VCPU is

For KVM_EXIT_X86_WRMSR, the "index" field tells userspace which MSR the guest

wants to write. Once finished processing the event, userspace must continue
|
|
|
|

vCPU execution. If the MSR write was unsuccessful, userspace also sets the

This capability enables interception of OSI hypercalls that otherwise would
|
|
|
|
|
be treated as normal system calls to be injected into the guest. OSI hypercalls
|
|
|
|
|
were invented by Mac-on-Linux to have a standardized communication mechanism
|
|
|
|
|
between the guest and the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_OSI can occur.

This capability enables interception of PAPR hypercalls. PAPR hypercalls are
|
|
|
|
|
done using the hypercall instruction "sc 1".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also sets the guest privilege level to "supervisor" mode. Usually the guest
|
|
|
|
|
runs in "hypervisor" privilege mode with a few missing features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, it changes the semantics of SDR1. In this mode, the
|
|
|
|
|
HTAB address part of SDR1 contains an HVA instead of a GPA, as PAPR keeps the
|
|
|
|
|
HTAB invisible to the guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL can occur.

Configures the virtual CPU's TLB array, establishing a shared memory area
|
|
|
|
|
between userspace and KVM. The "params" and "array" fields are userspace
|
|
|
|
|
addresses of mmu-type-specific data structures. The "array_len" field is an
|
|
|
|
|
safety mechanism, and should be set to the size in bytes of the memory that
|
|
|
|
|
userspace has reserved for the array. It must be at least the size dictated
|
|
|
|
|
by "mmu_type" and "params".
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
While KVM_RUN is active, the shared region is under control of KVM. Its

contents are undefined, and any modification by userspace results in
|
|
|
|
|
boundedly undefined behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On return from KVM_RUN, the shared region will reflect the current state of
|
|
|
|
|
the guest's TLB. If userspace makes any changes, it must call KVM_DIRTY_TLB
|
|

- The array consists of all entries in the first TLB, followed by all
|
|
|
|
|
entries in the second TLB.
|
|
|
|
|
- Within a TLB, entries are ordered first by increasing set number. Within a
|
|
|
|
|
set, entries are ordered by way (increasing ESEL).
|
|
|
|
|
- The hash for determining set number in TLB0 is: (MAS2 >> 12) & (num_sets - 1)
|
|
|
|
|
where "num_sets" is the tlb_sizes[] value divided by the tlb_ways[] value.
|

As described above in the kvm_sync_regs struct info in section 5 (kvm_run):
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers
|
|
|
|
|
without having to call SET/GET_*REGS". This reduces overhead by eliminating
|
|
|
|
|
repeated ioctl calls for setting and/or getting register values. This is
|
|
|
|
|
particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state
|
|
|
|
|
modifications, e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions in
|
|
|
|
|
userspace.
|
|

|
|
|
For s390 specifics, please refer to the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

For x86:
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-02-01 00:03:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- the register sets to be copied out to kvm_run are selectable
|
|
|
|
|
by userspace (rather that all sets being copied out for every exit).
|
|
|
|
|
- vcpu_events are available in addition to regs and sregs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For x86, the 'kvm_valid_regs' field of struct kvm_run is overloaded to
|
|
|
|
|
function as an input bit-array field set by userspace to indicate the
|
|
|
|
|
specific register sets to be copied out on the next exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To indicate when userspace has modified values that should be copied into
|
|
|
|
|
the vCPU, the all architecture bitarray field, 'kvm_dirty_regs' must be set.
|
|
|
|
|
This is done using the same bitflags as for the 'kvm_valid_regs' field.
|
|
|
|
|
If the dirty bit is not set, then the register set values will not be copied
|
|
|
|
|
into the vCPU even if they've been modified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unused bitfields in the bitarrays must be set to zero.

|
2014-06-02 01:02:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability controls whether individual sPAPR hypercalls (hcalls)
|
|
|
|
|
get handled by the kernel or not. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
|
|
|
|
|
handling of an hcall is effective across the VM. On creation, an
|
|
|
|
|
initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling, which
|
|
|
|
|
consists of those hcalls for which in-kernel handlers were implemented
|
|
|
|
|
before this capability was implemented. If disabled, the kernel will
|
|
|
|
|
not to attempt to handle the hcall, but will always exit to userspace
|
|
|
|
|
to handle it. Note that it may not make sense to enable some and
|
|
|
|
|
disable others of a group of related hcalls, but KVM does not prevent
|
|
|
|
|
userspace from doing that.
|
2014-06-02 01:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the hcall number specified is not one that has an in-kernel
|
|
|
|
|
implementation, the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl will fail with an EINVAL
|
|
|
|
|
error.

|
All other orders will be handled completely in user space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only privileged operation exceptions will be checked for in the kernel (or even
|
|

Create a local apic for each processor in the kernel. This can be used
|
|
|
|
|
instead of KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP if the userspace VMM wishes to emulate the

separately).

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow userspace to set the desired SMT mode
This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous
multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that
get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode
was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace
wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by
using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the
vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on
a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can
set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu
numbering.
On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode
must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On
POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT
mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is
effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent
and can all be in different partitions.

Enabling this capability on a VM provides userspace with a way to set
|
|
|
|
|
the desired virtual SMT mode (i.e. the number of virtual CPUs per
|
|
|
|
|
virtual core). The virtual SMT mode, vsmt_mode, must be a power of 2
|
|
|
|
|
between 1 and 8. On POWER8, vsmt_mode must also be no greater than
|
|
|
|
|
the number of threads per subcore for the host. Currently flags must
|
|
|
|
|
be 0. A successful call to enable this capability will result in
|
|
|
|
|
vsmt_mode being returned when the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability is
|
|

subsequently queried for the VM. This capability is only supported by

HV KVM, and can only be set before any VCPUs have been created.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow userspace to set the desired SMT mode
This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous
multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that
get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode
was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace
wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by
using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the
vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on
a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can
set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu
numbering.
On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode
must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On
POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT
mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is
effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent
and can all be in different partitions.

kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

This capability indicates that KVM is running on a host that has

ultravisor firmware and thus can support a secure guest. On such a

system, a guest can ask the ultravisor to make it a secure guest,

|
|
|
|
one whose memory is inaccessible to the host except for pages which

|
|
|
|
are explicitly requested to be shared with the host. The ultravisor
|
|
|
|
|
notifies KVM when a guest requests to become a secure guest, and KVM
|
|
|
|
|
has the opportunity to veto the transition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL overrides the kvm.halt_poll_ns module parameter to set the
|
|
|
|
|
maximum halt-polling time for all vCPUs in the target VM. This capability can
|
|
|
|
|
be invoked at any time and any number of times to dynamically change the
|
|
|
|
|
maximum halt-polling time.

2022-08-31 00:17:06 +00:00
|
|
|
This capability allows userspace to intercept RDMSR and WRMSR instructions if
|
|
|
|
|
access to an MSR is denied. By default, KVM injects #GP on denied accesses.
|
2020-09-25 14:34:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a guest requests to read or write an MSR, KVM may not implement all MSRs
|
|
|
|
|
that are relevant to a respective system. It also does not differentiate by
|
|
|
|
|
CPU type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-08-31 00:17:06 +00:00
|
|
|
To allow more fine grained control over MSR handling, userspace may enable
|
2020-09-25 14:34:16 +00:00
|
|
|
this capability. With it enabled, MSR accesses that match the mask specified in
|
2022-08-31 00:17:06 +00:00
|
|
|
args[0] and would trigger a #GP inside the guest will instead trigger
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_EXIT_X86_RDMSR and KVM_EXIT_X86_WRMSR exit notifications. Userspace
|
|
|
|
|
can then implement model specific MSR handling and/or user notifications
|
|
|
|
|
to inform a user that an MSR was not emulated/virtualized by KVM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The valid mask flags are:

7.22 KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:Architectures: x86
|
|
|
|
|
:Target: VM
|
|
|
|
|
:Parameters: args[0] defines the policy used when bus locks detected in guest
|
|
|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL when args[0] contains invalid bits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valid bits in args[0] are::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF (1 << 0)
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT (1 << 1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling this capability on a VM provides userspace with a way to select
|
|
|
|
|
a policy to handle the bus locks detected in guest. Userspace can obtain
|
|
|
|
|
the supported modes from the result of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION and define it
|
|
|
|
|
through the KVM_ENABLE_CAP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF and KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT are supported
|
|
|
|
|
currently and mutually exclusive with each other. More bits can be added in
|
|
|
|
|
the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF set, bus locks in guest will not cause vm exits
|
|
|
|
|
so that no additional actions are needed. This is the default mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT set, vm exits happen when bus lock detected
|
|
|
|
|
in VM. KVM just exits to userspace when handling them. Userspace can enforce
|
|
|
|
|
its own throttling or other policy based mitigations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability is aimed to address the thread that VM can exploit bus locks to
|
|
|
|
|
degree the performance of the whole system. Once the userspace enable this
|
|
|
|
|
capability and select the KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT mode, KVM will set the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK flag in vcpu-run->flags field and exit to userspace. Concerning
|
|
|
|
|
the bus lock vm exit can be preempted by a higher priority VM exit, the exit
|
|
|
|
|
notifications to userspace can be KVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK or other reasons.
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK flag is used to distinguish between them.

indicated by the fd to the vm this is called on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is intended to support in-guest workloads scheduled by the host. This
|
|

:Parameters: args[0] is a file handle of a SGX attribute file in securityfs
|
|
|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if the file handle is invalid or if a requested

|
|
|
|
attribute is not supported by KVM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_SGX_ATTRIBUTE enables a userspace VMM to grant a VM access to one or
|
2023-08-14 21:28:22 +00:00
|
|
|
more privileged enclave attributes. args[0] must hold a file handle to a valid
|
2021-04-12 04:21:43 +00:00
|
|
|
SGX attribute file corresponding to an attribute that is supported/restricted
|
|
|
|
|
by KVM (currently only PROVISIONKEY).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SGX subsystem restricts access to a subset of enclave attributes to provide
|
|
|
|
|
additional security for an uncompromised kernel, e.g. use of the PROVISIONKEY
|
|
|
|
|
is restricted to deter malware from using the PROVISIONKEY to obtain a stable
|
|
|
|
|
system fingerprint. To prevent userspace from circumventing such restrictions
|
|
|
|
|
by running an enclave in a VM, KVM prevents access to privileged attributes by
|
|
|
|
|
default.

|
|
H_RPT_INVALIDATE hcall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to enable the use of H_RPT_INVALIDATE in the guest,
|
|
|
|
|
user space might have to advertise it for the guest. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
IBM pSeries (sPAPR) guest starts using it if "hcall-rpt-invalidate" is
|
|
|
|
|
present in the "ibm,hypertas-functions" device-tree property.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability is enabled for hypervisors on platforms like POWER9
|
|
|
|
|
that support radix MMU.

|
|
:Parameters: args[0] whether the feature should be enabled or not

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this capability is enabled, an emulation failure will result in an exit
|
|
|
|
|
to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR (except when the emulator was invoked
|
|
|
|
|
to handle a VMware backdoor instruction). Furthermore, KVM will now provide up
|
|
|
|
|
to 15 instruction bytes for any exit to userspace resulting from an emulation
|
|
|
|
|
failure. When these exits to userspace occur use the emulation_failure struct
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the internal struct. They both have the same layout, but the
|
|
|
|
|
emulation_failure struct matches the content better. It also explicitly
|
|
|
|
|
defines the 'flags' field which is used to describe the fields in the struct
|
|
|
|
|
that are valid (ie: if KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION_FLAG_INSTRUCTION_BYTES is
|
|
|
|
|
set in the 'flags' field then both 'insn_size' and 'insn_bytes' have valid data
|
|
|
|

in them.)

:Parameters: none
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability indicates that KVM (and the hardware) supports exposing the
|
|
|
|
|
Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to the guest. It must also be enabled by the
|
|
|
|
|
VMM before creating any VCPUs to allow the guest access. Note that MTE is only
|
|
|
|
|
available to a guest running in AArch64 mode and enabling this capability will
|
|
|
|
|
cause attempts to create AArch32 VCPUs to fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled the guest is able to access tags associated with any memory given
|
|
|
|
|
to the guest. KVM will ensure that the tags are maintained during swap or
|
|
|
|
|
hibernation of the host; however the VMM needs to manually save/restore the
|
|
|
|
|
tags as appropriate if the VM is migrated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this capability is enabled all memory in memslots must be mapped as
|
2022-11-04 01:10:41 +00:00
|
|
|
``MAP_ANONYMOUS`` or with a RAM-based file mapping (``tmpfs``, ``memfd``),
|
|
|
|
|
attempts to create a memslot with an invalid mmap will result in an
|
|
|
|
|
-EINVAL return.
|
2021-06-21 11:17:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled the VMM may make use of the ``KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS`` ioctl to
|
|
|
|
|
perform a bulk copy of tags to/from the guest.

LINT0 register is 0x700 (APIC_MODE_EXTINT).
|
|
|
|
|
When this quirk is disabled, the reset value

|
|
|
|
change the value of CR0.CD and CR0.NW.
|

|
|
|
|
available even when configured for x2APIC

|
mode. When this quirk is disabled, KVM
|
|

|
LAPIC is in x2APIC mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_X86_QUIRK_OUT_7E_INC_RIP By default, KVM pre-increments %rip before
|
|
|
|
|
exiting to userspace for an OUT instruction
|
|
|
|
|
to port 0x7e. When this quirk is disabled,

|
|
|
|
vendor's hypercall instruction for the
|
|
|

system. When this quirk is disabled, KVM
|
|
|
|
|
will no longer rewrite invalid guest
|
|
|
|
|
hypercall instructions. Executing the
|
|
|
|
|
incorrect hypercall instruction will

|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:Architectures: x86
|
|
|
|
|
:Target: VM
|
|
|
|
|
:Parameters: args[0] - maximum APIC ID value set for current VM
|
|
|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if args[0] is beyond KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS
|
|
|
|
|
supported in KVM or if it has been set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability allows userspace to specify maximum possible APIC ID
|
|
|
|
|
assigned for current VM session prior to the creation of vCPUs, saving
|
|
|
|
|
memory for data structures indexed by the APIC ID. Userspace is able
|
|
|
|
|
to calculate the limit to APIC ID values from designated
|
|
|
|
|
CPU topology.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value can be changed only until KVM_ENABLE_CAP is set to a nonzero
|
|
|
|
|
value or until a vCPU is created. Upon creation of the first vCPU,
|
|
|
|
|
if the value was set to zero or KVM_ENABLE_CAP was not invoked, KVM
|
|
|
|
|
uses the return value of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID) as
|
|
|
|
|
the maximum APIC ID.

------------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
:Architectures: x86
|
|
|
|
|
:Target: VM
|
|
|
|
|
:Parameters: args[0] is the value of notify window as well as some flags
|
|
|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if args[0] contains invalid flags or notify
|
|
|
|
|
VM exit is unsupported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bits 63:32 of args[0] are used for notify window.
|
|
|
|
|
Bits 31:0 of args[0] are for some flags. Valid bits are::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED (1 << 0)
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_USER (1 << 1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability allows userspace to configure the notify VM exit on/off
|
|
|
|
|
in per-VM scope during VM creation. Notify VM exit is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
|
When userspace sets KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED bit in args[0], VMM will
|
|
|
|
|
enable this feature with the notify window provided, which will generate
|
|
|
|
|
a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM non-root mode for a specified of
|
|
|
|
|
time (notify window).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_USER is set in args[0], upon notify VM exits happen,
|
|
|
|
|
KVM would exit to userspace for handling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability is aimed to mitigate the threat that malicious VMs can
|
|
|
|
|
cause CPU stuck (due to event windows don't open up) and make the CPU
|
|
|
|
|
unavailable to host or other VMs.

|
This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION indicates that it is
|
2020-07-03 21:29:06 +00:00
|
|
|
available, means that the kernel has an implementation of the
|
2015-03-20 09:39:41 +00:00
|
|
|
H_RANDOM hypercall backed by a hardware random-number generator.
|
|
|
|
|
If present, the kernel H_RANDOM handler can be enabled for guest use
|
|
|
|
|
with the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

|
This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION indicates that it is
|
2020-07-03 21:29:06 +00:00
|
|
|
available, means that the kernel has an implementation of the
|
2015-11-10 12:36:34 +00:00
|
|
|
Hyper-V Synthetic interrupt controller(SynIC). Hyper-V SynIC is
|
|
|
|
|
used to support Windows Hyper-V based guest paravirt drivers(VMBus).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use SynIC, it has to be activated by setting this
|
|
|
|
|
capability via KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl on the vcpu fd. Note that this
|
|
|
|
|
will disable the use of APIC hardware virtualization even if supported
|
|
|
|
|
by the CPU, as it's incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.

This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION indicates that it is
|
2020-07-03 21:29:06 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|

|
This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the main kvm handle indicates that
|
|
|
|
|
it is available, means that full hardware assisted virtualization capabilities
|
|
|
|
|
of the hardware are available for use through KVM. An appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_VM_MIPS_* type must be passed to KVM_CREATE_VM to create a VM which
|
|
|
|
|
utilises it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on a kvm VM handle indicates that this capability is
|
|
|
|
|
available, it means that the VM is using full hardware assisted virtualization
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities of the hardware. This is useful to check after creating a VM with
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_VM_MIPS_DEFAULT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value returned by KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION should be compared against known
|
|
|
|
|
values (see below). All other values are reserved. This is to allow for the
|
|

This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the main kvm handle indicates that
|
|
|
|
|
it is available, means that the trap & emulate implementation is available to
|
|
|
|
|
run guest code in user mode, even if KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ indicates that hardware
|
|

assisted virtualisation is also available. KVM_VM_MIPS_TE (0) must be passed
|
|
|
|
|
to KVM_CREATE_VM to create a VM which utilises it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on a kvm VM handle indicates that this capability is
|
|

8.9 KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ

:Architectures: arm64
|
2016-09-27 19:08:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION indicates that it is available, means
|
|
|
|
|
that if userspace creates a VM without an in-kernel interrupt controller, it
|
|
|
|
|
will be notified of changes to the output level of in-kernel emulated devices,
|
|
|
|
|
which can generate virtual interrupts, presented to the VM.
|
|
|
|
|
For such VMs, on every return to userspace, the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
updates the vcpu's run->s.regs.device_irq_level field to represent the actual
|
|
|
|
|
output level of the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever kvm detects a change in the device output level, kvm guarantees at
|
|
|
|
|
least one return to userspace before running the VM. This exit could either
|
|
|
|
|
be a KVM_EXIT_INTR or any other exit event, like KVM_EXIT_MMIO. This way,
|
|
|
|
|
userspace can always sample the device output level and re-compute the state of
|
|
|
|
|
the userspace interrupt controller. Userspace should always check the state
|
|
|
|
|
of run->s.regs.device_irq_level on every kvm exit.
|
|
|
|
|
The value in run->s.regs.device_irq_level can represent both level and edge
|
|
|
|
|
triggered interrupt signals, depending on the device. Edge triggered interrupt
|
|
|
|
|
signals will exit to userspace with the bit in run->s.regs.device_irq_level
|
|
|
|
|
set exactly once per edge signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The field run->s.regs.device_irq_level is available independent of
|
|
|
|
|
run->kvm_valid_regs or run->kvm_dirty_regs bits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ is supported, the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl returns a
|
|
|
|
|
number larger than 0 indicating the version of this capability is implemented
|
2020-07-03 21:29:06 +00:00
|
|
|
and thereby which bits in run->s.regs.device_irq_level can signal values.
|
2016-09-27 19:08:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-10 06:02:55 +00:00
|
|
|
Currently the following bits are defined for the device_irq_level bitmap::
|
2016-09-27 19:08:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ >= 1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_ARM_DEV_EL1_VTIMER - EL1 virtual timer
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_ARM_DEV_EL1_PTIMER - EL1 physical timer
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_ARM_DEV_PMU - ARM PMU overflow interrupt signal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future versions of kvm may implement additional events. These will get
|
|
|
|
|
indicated by returning a higher number from KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION and will be
|
|
|
|
|
listed above.

kvm: x86: hyperv: add KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2
There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message
page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr,
KVM zeroes it out. This is problematic because on migration the
corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of
those pages is lost.
This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was
in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that
zeroing.
Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and
zeroing them breaks the migration.
Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by
QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the
guest side.
To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability,
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic
pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

enables Direct TLB flush for its guests meaning that TLB flush
|
|
|
|
|
hypercalls are handled by Level 0 hypervisor (Hyper-V) bypassing KVM.
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the different ABI for hypercall parameters between Hyper-V and
|
|
|
|
|
KVM, enabling this capability effectively disables all hypercall
|
|
|
|
|
handling by KVM (as some KVM hypercall may be mistakenly treated as TLB
|
|
|
|
|
flush hypercalls by Hyper-V) so userspace should disable KVM identification
|
|
|
|
|
in CPUID and only exposes Hyper-V identification. In this case, guest
|
|
|
|
|
thinks it's running on Hyper-V and only use Hyper-V hypercalls.

This capability enables a guest to set information about its control program
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e. guest kernel type and version). The information is helpful during
|
|
|
|
|
system/firmware service events, providing additional data about the guest
|
|
|
|
|
environments running on the machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information is associated with the DIAGNOSE 0x318 instruction, which sets
|
|
|
|
|
an 8-byte value consisting of a one-byte Control Program Name Code (CPNC) and
|
|
|
|
|
a 7-byte Control Program Version Code (CPVC). The CPNC determines what
|
|
|
|
|
environment the control program is running in (e.g. Linux, z/VM...), and the
|
|
|
|
|
CPVC is used for information specific to OS (e.g. Linux version, Linux
|
|
|
|
|
distribution...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this capability is available, then the CPNC and CPVC can be synchronized
|
|
|
|
|
between KVM and userspace via the sync regs mechanism (KVM_SYNC_DIAG318).

|
|
|

This capability indicates that KVM supports that accesses to user defined MSRs

may be rejected. With this capability exposed, KVM exports new VM ioctl
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_X86_SET_MSR_FILTER which user space can call to specify bitmaps of MSR
|
2022-08-31 00:17:05 +00:00

|
In combination with KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR, this allows user space to
|
|
|
|
|
trap and emulate MSRs that are outside of the scope of KVM as well as
|
|
|
|
|
limit the attack surface on KVM's MSR emulation code.

:Parameters: args[0] - size of the dirty log ring
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM is capable of tracking dirty memory using ring buffers that are
|
2023-08-14 21:28:22 +00:00
|
|
|
mmapped into userspace; there is one dirty ring per vcpu.
|
2020-10-01 01:22:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dirty ring is available to userspace as an array of
|
2023-08-14 21:28:22 +00:00
|
|
|
``struct kvm_dirty_gfn``. Each dirty entry is defined as::
|
2020-10-01 01:22:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct kvm_dirty_gfn {
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 flags;
|
|
|
|
|
__u32 slot; /* as_id | slot_id */
|
|
|
|
|
__u64 offset;
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following values are defined for the flags field to define the
|
|
|
|
|
current state of the entry::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_DIRTY_GFN_F_DIRTY BIT(0)
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_DIRTY_GFN_F_RESET BIT(1)
|
|
|
|
|
#define KVM_DIRTY_GFN_F_MASK 0x3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Userspace should call KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl right after KVM_CREATE_VM
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl to enable this capability for the new guest and set the size of
|
|
|
|
|
the rings. Enabling the capability is only allowed before creating any
|
|
|
|
|
vCPU, and the size of the ring must be a power of two. The larger the
|
|
|
|
|
ring buffer, the less likely the ring is full and the VM is forced to
|
|
|
|
|
exit to userspace. The optimal size depends on the workload, but it is
|
|
|
|
|
recommended that it be at least 64 KiB (4096 entries).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just like for dirty page bitmaps, the buffer tracks writes to
|
|
|
|
|
all user memory regions for which the KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES flag was
|
|
|
|
|
set in KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. Once a memory region is registered
|
|
|
|
|
with the flag set, userspace can start harvesting dirty pages from the
|
|
|
|
|
ring buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An entry in the ring buffer can be unused (flag bits ``00``),
|
|
|
|
|
dirty (flag bits ``01``) or harvested (flag bits ``1X``). The
|
|
|
|
|
state machine for the entry is as follows::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dirtied harvested reset
|
|
|
|
|
00 -----------> 01 -------------> 1X -------+
|
|
|
|
|
^ |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-08-14 21:28:22 +00:00
|
|
|
To harvest the dirty pages, userspace accesses the mmapped ring buffer
|
2020-10-01 01:22:22 +00:00
|
|
|
to read the dirty GFNs. If the flags has the DIRTY bit set (at this stage
|
|
|
|
|
the RESET bit must be cleared), then it means this GFN is a dirty GFN.
|
|
|
|
|
The userspace should harvest this GFN and mark the flags from state
|
|
|
|
|
``01b`` to ``1Xb`` (bit 0 will be ignored by KVM, but bit 1 must be set
|
|
|
|
|
to show that this GFN is harvested and waiting for a reset), and move
|
|
|
|
|
on to the next GFN. The userspace should continue to do this until the
|
|
|
|
|
flags of a GFN have the DIRTY bit cleared, meaning that it has harvested
|
|
|
|
|
all the dirty GFNs that were available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-09-26 14:51:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that on weakly ordered architectures, userspace accesses to the
|
|
|
|
|
ring buffer (and more specifically the 'flags' field) must be ordered,
|
|
|
|
|
using load-acquire/store-release accessors when available, or any
|
|
|
|
|
other memory barrier that will ensure this ordering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-01 01:22:22 +00:00
|
|
|
It's not necessary for userspace to harvest the all dirty GFNs at once.
|
|
|
|
|
However it must collect the dirty GFNs in sequence, i.e., the userspace
|
|
|
|
|
program cannot skip one dirty GFN to collect the one next to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After processing one or more entries in the ring buffer, userspace
|
|
|
|
|
calls the VM ioctl KVM_RESET_DIRTY_RINGS to notify the kernel about
|
|
|
|
|
it, so that the kernel will reprotect those collected GFNs.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, the ioctl must be called *before* reading the content of
|
|
|
|
|
the dirty pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dirty ring can get full. When it happens, the KVM_RUN of the
|
|
|
|
|
vcpu will return with exit reason KVM_EXIT_DIRTY_LOG_FULL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dirty ring interface has a major difference comparing to the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG interface in that, when reading the dirty ring from
|
|
|
|
|
userspace, it's still possible that the kernel has not yet flushed the
|
|
|
|
|
processor's dirty page buffers into the kernel buffer (with dirty bitmaps, the
|
|
|
|
|
flushing is done by the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl). To achieve that, one
|
|
|
|
|
needs to kick the vcpu out of KVM_RUN using a signal. The resulting
|
|
|
|
|
vmexit ensures that all dirty GFNs are flushed to the dirty rings.
|

|
|
2022-09-26 14:51:18 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL is the only capability that
|
|
|
|
|
should be exposed by weakly ordered architecture, in order to indicate
|
|
|
|
|
the additional memory ordering requirements imposed on userspace when
|
|
|
|
|
reading the state of an entry and mutating it from DIRTY to HARVESTED.
|
|
|
|
|
Architecture with TSO-like ordering (such as x86) are allowed to
|
|
|
|
|
expose both KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING and KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL
|
|
|
|
|
to userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-11-10 10:49:10 +00:00
|
|
|
After enabling the dirty rings, the userspace needs to detect the
|
|
|
|
|
capability of KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP to see whether the
|
|
|
|
|
ring structures can be backed by per-slot bitmaps. With this capability
|
|
|
|
|
advertised, it means the architecture can dirty guest pages without
|
|
|
|
|
vcpu/ring context, so that some of the dirty information will still be
|
|
|
|
|
maintained in the bitmap structure. KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP
|
|
|
|
|
can't be enabled if the capability of KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL
|
|
|
|
|
hasn't been enabled, or any memslot has been existing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the bitmap here is only a backup of the ring structure. The
|
|
|
|
|
use of the ring and bitmap combination is only beneficial if there is
|
|
|
|
|
only a very small amount of memory that is dirtied out of vcpu/ring
|
|
|
|
|
context. Otherwise, the stand-alone per-slot bitmap mechanism needs to
|
|
|
|
|
be considered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To collect dirty bits in the backup bitmap, userspace can use the same
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG isn't needed as long as all
|
|
|
|
|
the generation of the dirty bits is done in a single pass. Collecting
|
|
|
|
|
the dirty bitmap should be the very last thing that the VMM does before
|
|
|
|
|
considering the state as complete. VMM needs to ensure that the dirty
|
|
|
|
|
state is final and avoid missing dirty pages from another ioctl ordered
|
|
|
|
|
after the bitmap collection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-01-26 23:54:50 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: Multiple examples of using the backup bitmap: (1) save vgic/its
|
|
|
|
|
tables through command KVM_DEV_ARM_{VGIC_GRP_CTRL, ITS_SAVE_TABLES} on
|
|
|
|
|
KVM device "kvm-arm-vgic-its". (2) restore vgic/its tables through
|
|
|
|
|
command KVM_DEV_ARM_{VGIC_GRP_CTRL, ITS_RESTORE_TABLES} on KVM device
|
2023-01-26 23:54:51 +00:00
|
|
|
"kvm-arm-vgic-its". VGICv3 LPI pending status is restored. (3) save
|
|
|
|
|
vgic3 pending table through KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_{GRP_CTRL, SAVE_PENDING_TABLES}
|
|
|
|
|
command on KVM device "kvm-arm-vgic-v3".

The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_HYPERCALL_MSR flag indicates that the KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl is available, for the guest to set its hypercall page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_INTERCEPT_HCALL is also set, the same flag may also be
|
|
|
|
|
provided in the flags to KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, without providing hypercall page
|
|
|
|
|
contents, to request that KVM generate hypercall page content automatically
|
|
|
|
|
and also enable interception of guest hypercalls with KVM_EXIT_XEN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO flag indicates the availability of the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_HVM_SET_ATTR, KVM_XEN_HVM_GET_ATTR, KVM_XEN_VCPU_SET_ATTR and
|
|
|

The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_RUNSTATE flag indicates that the runstate-related
|
|
|
|
|
features KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADDR/_CURRENT/_DATA/_ADJUST are
|
|
|
|
|
supported by the KVM_XEN_VCPU_SET_ATTR/KVM_XEN_VCPU_GET_ATTR ioctls.

|
|
The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_2LEVEL flag indicates that IRQ routing entries
|
|
|
|
|
of the type KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_XEN_EVTCHN are supported, with the priority
|
|
|
|
|
field set to indicate 2 level event channel delivery.

|
|
|
|
2022-03-03 15:41:25 +00:00
|
|
|
The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_EVTCHN_SEND flag indicates that KVM supports
|
|
|
|
|
injecting event channel events directly into the guest with the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND ioctl. It also indicates support for the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_EVTCHN/XEN_VERSION HVM attributes and the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_ID/TIMER/UPCALL_VECTOR vCPU attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
related to event channel delivery, timers, and the XENVER_version
|
|
|
|
|
interception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-11-27 12:22:10 +00:00
|
|
|
The KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG flag indicates that KVM supports
|
|
|
|
|
the KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG attribute in the KVM_XEN_SET_ATTR
|
|
|
|
|
and KVM_XEN_GET_ATTR ioctls. This controls whether KVM will set the
|
|
|
|
|
XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag in guest memory mapped vcpu_runstate_info during
|
|
|
|
|
updates of the runstate information. Note that versions of KVM which support
|
2023-08-14 21:28:22 +00:00
|
|
|
the RUNSTATE feature above, but not the RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG feature, will
|
2022-11-27 12:22:10 +00:00
|
|
|
always set the XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag when updating the guest structure,
|
|
|
|
|
which is perhaps counterintuitive. When this flag is advertised, KVM will
|
|
|
|
|
behave more correctly, not using the XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag until/unless
|
|
|
|
|
specifically enabled (by the guest making the hypercall, causing the VMM
|
|
|
|
|
to enable the KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_UPDATE_FLAG attribute).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability means the kernel is capable of handling hypercalls
|
|
|
|
|
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE without passing those into the user
|
|
|
|
|
space. This significantly accelerates DMA operations for PPC KVM guests.
|
|
|
|
|
User space should expect that its handlers for these hypercalls
|
|
|
|
|
are not going to be called if user space previously registered LIOBN
|
|
|
|
|
in KVM (via KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE or similar calls).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to enable H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE use in the guest,
|
|
|
|
|
user space might have to advertise it for the guest. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
IBM pSeries (sPAPR) guest starts using them if "hcall-multi-tce" is
|
|
|
|
|
present in the "ibm,hypertas-functions" device-tree property.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hypercalls mentioned above may or may not be processed successfully
|
|
|
|
|
in the kernel based fast path. If they can not be handled by the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
they will get passed on to user space. So user space still has to have
|
|
|
|
|
an implementation for these despite the in kernel acceleration.
|

2021-04-08 22:32:14 +00:00

This capability, if enabled, will cause KVM to exit to userspace
|
|
|
|
|
with KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL exit reason to process some hypercalls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION for this capability will return a bitmask
|
|
|
|
|
of hypercalls that can be configured to exit to userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
Right now, the only such hypercall is KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The argument to KVM_ENABLE_CAP is also a bitmask, and must be a subset
|
|
|
|
|
of the result of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION. KVM will forward to userspace
|
|
|
|
|
the hypercalls whose corresponding bit is in the argument, and return
|
|
|
|
|
ENOSYS for the others.

This capability alters PMU virtualization in KVM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION for this capability returns a bitmask of
|
|
|
|
|
PMU virtualization capabilities that can be adjusted on a VM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The argument to KVM_ENABLE_CAP is also a bitmask and selects specific
|
|
|
|
|
PMU virtualization capabilities to be applied to the VM. This can
|
|
|
|
|
only be invoked on a VM prior to the creation of VCPUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this time, KVM_PMU_CAP_DISABLE is the only capability. Setting
|
|
|
|
|
this capability will disable PMU virtualization for that VM. Usermode
|
|
|
|
|
should adjust CPUID leaf 0xA to reflect that the PMU is disabled.

This capability indicates that KVM will provide the S390 CPU Topology
|
|
|
|
|
facility which consist of the interpretation of the PTF instruction for
|
|
|
|
|
the function code 2 along with interception and forwarding of both the
|
|
|
|
|
PTF instruction with function codes 0 or 1 and the STSI(15,1,x)
|
|
|
|
|
instruction to the userland hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stfle facility 11, CPU Topology facility, should not be indicated
|
|
|
|
|
to the guest without this capability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this capability is present, KVM provides a new attribute group
|
|
|
|
|
on vm fd, KVM_S390_VM_CPU_TOPOLOGY.
|
|
|
|
|
This new attribute allows to get, set or clear the Modified Change
|
|
|
|
|
Topology Report (MTCR) bit of the SCA through the kvm_device_attr
|
|
|
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When getting the Modified Change Topology Report value, the attr->addr
|
|

:Type: vm
|
|
|
|
|
:Parameters: arg[0] is the new split chunk size.
|

|
|
|
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if any memslot was already created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This capability sets the chunk size used in Eager Page Splitting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eager Page Splitting improves the performance of dirty-logging (used
|
|
|
|
|
in live migrations) when guest memory is backed by huge-pages. It
|
|
|
|
|
avoids splitting huge-pages (into PAGE_SIZE pages) on fault, by doing
|
|
|
|
|
it eagerly when enabling dirty logging (with the
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES flag for a memory region), or when using
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The chunk size specifies how many pages to break at a time, using a
|
|
|
|
|
single allocation for each chunk. Bigger the chunk size, more pages
|
|
|
|
|
need to be allocated ahead of time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The chunk size needs to be a valid block size. The list of acceptable
|
|
|
|
|
block sizes is exposed in KVM_CAP_ARM_SUPPORTED_BLOCK_SIZES as a
|
|
|
|
|
64-bit bitmap (each bit describing a block size). The default value is
|
|
|
|
|
0, to disable the eager page splitting.

9. Known KVM API problems
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In some cases, KVM's API has some inconsistencies or common pitfalls
|
|
|
|
|
that userspace need to be aware of. This section details some of
|
|
|
|
|
these issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of them are architecture specific, so the section is split by
|
|
|
|
|
architecture.

``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID`` issues
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general, ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID`` is designed so that it is possible
|
|
|
|
|
to take its result and pass it directly to ``KVM_SET_CPUID2``. This section
|
|
|
|
|
documents some cases in which that requires some care.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Local APIC features
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[21] (X2APIC) is reported by ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``,
|
|
|
|
|
but it can only be enabled if ``KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP`` or
|
|
|
|
|
``KVM_ENABLE_CAP(KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP_SPLIT)`` are used to enable in-kernel emulation of
|
|
|
|
|
the local APIC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same is true for the ``KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT`` paravirtualized feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CPU[EAX=1]:ECX[24] (TSC_DEADLINE) is not reported by ``KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID``.
|
|
|
|
|
It can be enabled if ``KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER`` is present and the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
has enabled in-kernel emulation of the local APIC.

CPU topology
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several CPUID values include topology information for the host CPU:
|
|
|
|
|
0x0b and 0x1f for Intel systems, 0x8000001e for AMD systems. Different
|
|
|
|
|
versions of KVM return different values for this information and userspace
|
|
|
|
|
should not rely on it. Currently they return all zeroes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If userspace wishes to set up a guest topology, it should be careful that
|
|
|
|
|
the values of these three leaves differ for each CPU. In particular,
|
|
|
|
|
the APIC ID is found in EDX for all subleaves of 0x0b and 0x1f, and in EAX
|
|
|
|
|
for 0x8000001e; the latter also encodes the core id and node id in bits
|
|
|
|
|
7:0 of EBX and ECX respectively.

Obsolete ioctls and capabilities
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS does not let userspace know which quirks are actually
|
|
|
|
|
available. Use ``KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2)`` instead if
|
|
|
|
|
available.
