Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr and kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection are
a hodge-podge of conditions, hacked together to get something that
more or less works. But what is actually needed is much simpler;
in both cases the fundamental question is, do we have a place to stash
an interrupt if userspace does KVM_INTERRUPT?
In userspace irqchip mode, that is !vcpu->arch.interrupt.injected.
Currently kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) covers it, but it is
unnecessarily restrictive.
In split irqchip mode it's a bit more complicated, we need to check
kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr(vcpu) (the IRQ window exit is basically an INTACK
cycle and thus requires ExtINTs not to be masked) as well as
!pending_userspace_extint(vcpu). However, there is no need to
check kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu), since split irqchip keeps
pending ExtINT state separate from event injection state, and checking
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) is wrong too since ExtINT has higher
priority than APIC interrupts. In fact the latter fixes a bug:
when userspace requests an IRQ window vmexit, an interrupt in the
local APIC can cause kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() to be true and thus
kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection() to return false. When this
happens, vcpu_run does not exit to userspace but the interrupt window
vmexits keep occurring. The VM loops without any hope of making progress.
Once we try to fix these with something like
return kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(vcpu) &&
- !kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) &&
- !kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) &&
- kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);
+ (!lapic_in_kernel(vcpu)
+ ? !vcpu->arch.interrupt.injected
+ : (kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr(vcpu)
+ && !pending_userspace_extint(v)));
we realize two things. First, thanks to the previous patch the complex
conditional can reuse !kvm_cpu_has_extint(vcpu). Second, the interrupt
window request in vcpu_enter_guest()
bool req_int_win =
dm_request_for_irq_injection(vcpu) &&
kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);
should be kept in sync with kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection():
it is unnecessary to ask the processor for an interrupt window
if we would not be able to return to userspace. Therefore,
kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu) is basically !kvm_cpu_has_extint(vcpu)
ANDed with the existing check for masked ExtINT. It all makes sense:
- we can accept an interrupt from userspace if there is a place
to stash it (and, for irqchip split, ExtINTs are not masked).
Interrupts from userspace _can_ be accepted even if right now
EFLAGS.IF=0.
- in order to tell userspace we will inject its interrupt ("IRQ
window open" i.e. kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection), both
KVM and the vCPU need to be ready to accept the interrupt.
... and this is what the patch implements.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
