Yoshihiro YUNOMAE 489223edf2 kvm: Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset
Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
(Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
this case)

This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.

TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
when TSC offset is changed.

Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
instance for getting this event:

1. set a instance before booting a guest
 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
 # mkdir tsc_offset
 # cd tsc_offset
 # echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
 # echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable

2. boot a guest

Yang Zhang a547c6db4d KVM: VMX: Enable acknowledge interupt on vmexit
The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior
for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the
processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the
interrupt vector on VM exit.

After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is
running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler
in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt
table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt
and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table.
The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler.
This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM.

Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on:
Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly.
Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from
interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still
call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

Refer to Intel SDM volum 3, chapter 33.2.

Jan Kiszka 66450a21f9 KVM: x86: Rework INIT and SIPI handling
A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the
remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED
was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost.

This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in
kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu
context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there
are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end.

The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting
KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but
immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI.
The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED
state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a
SIPI event.

Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code
segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for
the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

Yang Zhang c7c9c56ca2 x86, apicv: add virtual interrupt delivery support
Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs
some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path:

- for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need
  update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest.

- A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also
  considered in above update action, since hardware will decide
  when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and
  get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v.

Will Auld ba904635d4 KVM: x86: Emulate IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR
CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported

Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest
vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding
the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will
be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This
is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control
is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control.

However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST +
vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct
settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one
of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR
is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is
required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve
some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either.

The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of
returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not
done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the
data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system
than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example:

The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest
process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get
TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including
IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics
as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index,
data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as
individual parameters.

The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr
while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is
useful for other tasks.

Zachary Amsden cc578287e3 KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling
This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz'
to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider
each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate.  Instead, there is new
logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether
it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by
common code.  This means we can simply query the virtual rate at
any point, which is needed for software rate scaling.

There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor
differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally
provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed.  Instead,
we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is
the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling
will be used.  The default is 250ppm, which is the half the
threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation.

In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can
kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than
hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available
yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software
implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

Boris Ostrovsky 2b036c6b86 KVM: SVM: Add support for AMD's OSVW feature in guests
In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the
physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family
10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before
going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not
necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no
reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest.

This patch allows us to present a guest with certain errata as fixed,
regardless of the state of actual hardware.

Joerg Roedel 1018faa6cf perf/x86/kvm: Fix Host-Only/Guest-Only counting with SVM disabled
It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.

The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

Jan Kiszka f1c1da2bde KVM: SVM: Keep intercepting task switching with NPT enabled
AMD processors apparently have a bug in the hardware task switching
support when NPT is enabled. If the task switch triggers a NPF, we can
get wrong EXITINTINFO along with that fault. On resume, spurious
exceptions may then be injected into the guest.

We were able to reproduce this bug when our guest triggered #SS and the
handler were supposed to run over a separate task with not yet touched
stack pages.

Work around the issue by continuing to emulate task switches even in
NPT mode.

Nadav Har'El 45133ecaae KVM: SVM: Fix TSC MSR read in nested SVM
When the TSC MSR is read by an L2 guest (when L1 allowed this MSR to be
read without exit), we need to return L2's notion of the TSC, not L1's.

The current code incorrectly returned L1 TSC, because svm_get_msr() was also
used in x86.c where this was assumed, but now that these places call the new
svm_read_l1_tsc(), the MSR read can be fixed.

Nadav Har'El d5c1785d2f KVM: L1 TSC handling
KVM assumed in several places that reading the TSC MSR returns the value for
L1. This is incorrect, because when L2 is running, the correct TSC read exit
emulation is to return L2's value.

We therefore add a new x86_ops function, read_l1_tsc, to use in places that
specifically need to read the L1 TSC, NOT the TSC of the current level of
guest.

Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant
by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied):
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of
course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

[avi: moved callback to kvm_x86_ops tsc block]

Avi Kivity e4e517b4be KVM: MMU: Do not unconditionally read PDPTE from guest memory
Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded.
On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible
and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally
read PDPTEs dynamically.  This has noticable impact when running PAE guests.

Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to
reading from memory for the nested MMU.

Stefan Hajnoczi 0d460ffc09 KVM: Use __print_symbolic() for vmexit tracepoints
The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable.
Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm),
formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to
the appropriate exit reason table.

However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used
directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table
which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces.

In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and
trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra
formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation).  Other
userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar
trouble.

To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch
moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and
selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the
instruction set.  Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting
the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

Stefan Hajnoczi e097e5ffd6 KVM: Record instruction set in all vmexit tracepoints
The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding
exit_reason.  The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set
(vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other
machines.

Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject
so these tracepoints can also be self-describing.

Nadav Har'El 5e1746d620 KVM: nVMX: Allow setting the VMXE bit in CR4
This patch allows the guest to enable the VMXE bit in CR4, which is a
prerequisite to running VMXON.

Whether to allow setting the VMXE bit now depends on the architecture (svm
or vmx), so its checking has moved to kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4(). This function
now returns an int: If kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4() returns 1, __kvm_set_cr4()
will also return 1, and this will cause kvm_set_cr4() will throw a #GP.

Turning on the VMXE bit is allowed only when the nested VMX feature is
enabled, and turning it off is forbidden after a vmxon.
