Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current
TSC generation, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU into the
VM. Unnecessarily updating the masterclock is undesirable as it can cause
kvmclock's time to jump, which is particularly painful on systems with a
stable TSC as kvmclock _should_ be fully reliable on such systems.
The unexpected time jumps are due to differences in the TSC=>nanoseconds
conversion algorithms between kvmclock and the host's CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
(the pvclock algorithm is inherently lossy). When updating the
masterclock, KVM refreshes the "base", i.e. moves the elapsed time since
the last update from the kvmclock/pvclock algorithm to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW algorithm. Synchronizing kvmclock with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is the lesser of evils when the TSC is unstable, but
adds no real value when the TSC is stable.
Prior to commit 7f187922dd ("KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC
writes"), KVM did NOT force an update when synchronizing a vCPU to the
current generation.
commit 7f187922dd
Author: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC writes
When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.
Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to
"if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)"
becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse
everything into a single condition.
Before that, KVM only re-synced the masterclock if the masterclock was
enabled or disabled Note, at the time of the above commit, VMX
synchronized TSC on *guest* writes to MSR_IA32_TSC:
case MSR_IA32_TSC:
kvm_write_tsc(vcpu, msr_info);
break;
which is why the changelog specifically says "guest writes", but the bug
that was being fixed wasn't unique to guest write, i.e. a TSC write from
the host would suffer the same problem.
So even though KVM stopped synchronizing on guest writes as of commit
0c899c25d7 ("KVM: x86: do not attempt TSC synchronization on guest
writes"), simply reverting commit 7f187922dd is not an option. Figuring
out how a negative tsc_timestamp could be computed requires a bit more
sleuthing.
In kvm_write_tsc() (at the time), except for KVM's "less than 1 second"
hack, KVM snapshotted the vCPU's current TSC *and* the current time in
nanoseconds, where kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec is the current host kernel time
in nanoseconds:
ns = get_kernel_ns();
...
if (usdiff < USEC_PER_SEC &&
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_khz == kvm->arch.last_tsc_khz) {
...
} else {
/*
* We split periods of matched TSC writes into generations.
* For each generation, we track the original measured
* nanosecond time, offset, and write, so if TSCs are in
* sync, we can match exact offset, and if not, we can match
* exact software computation in compute_guest_tsc()
*
* These values are tracked in kvm->arch.cur_xxx variables.
*/
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation++;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec = ns;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_write = data;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_offset = offset;
matched = false;
pr_debug("kvm: new tsc generation %llu, clock %llu\n",
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation, data);
}
...
/* Keep track of which generation this VCPU has synchronized to */
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_generation = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation;
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec;
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_write = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_write;
Note that the above creates a new generation and sets "matched" to false!
But because kvm_track_tsc_matching() looks for matched+1, i.e. doesn't
require the vCPU that creates the new generation to match itself, KVM
would immediately compute vcpus_matched as true for VMs with a single vCPU.
As a result, KVM would skip the masterlock update, even though a new TSC
generation was created:
vcpus_matched = (ka->nr_vcpus_matched_tsc + 1 ==
atomic_read(&vcpu->kvm->online_vcpus));
if (vcpus_matched && gtod->clock.vclock_mode == VCLOCK_TSC)
if (!ka->use_master_clock)
do_request = 1;
if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)
do_request = 1;
if (do_request)
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu);
On hardware without TSC scaling support, vcpu->tsc_catchup is set to true
if the guest TSC frequency is faster than the host TSC frequency, even if
the TSC is otherwise stable. And for that mode, kvm_guest_time_update(),
by way of compute_guest_tsc(), uses vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec, a.k.a. the
kernel time at the last TSC write, to compute the guest TSC relative to
kernel time:
static u64 compute_guest_tsc(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, s64 kernel_ns)
{
u64 tsc = pvclock_scale_delta(kernel_ns-vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec,
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_mult,
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_shift);
tsc += vcpu->arch.this_tsc_write;
return tsc;
}
Except the "kernel_ns" passed to compute_guest_tsc() isn't the current
kernel time, it's the masterclock snapshot!
spin_lock(&ka->pvclock_gtod_sync_lock);
use_master_clock = ka->use_master_clock;
if (use_master_clock) {
host_tsc = ka->master_cycle_now;
kernel_ns = ka->master_kernel_ns;
}
spin_unlock(&ka->pvclock_gtod_sync_lock);
if (vcpu->tsc_catchup) {
u64 tsc = compute_guest_tsc(v, kernel_ns);
if (tsc > tsc_timestamp) {
adjust_tsc_offset_guest(v, tsc - tsc_timestamp);
tsc_timestamp = tsc;
}
}
And so when KVM skips the masterclock update after a TSC write, i.e. after
a new TSC generation is started, the "kernel_ns-vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec"
is *guaranteed* to generate a negative value, because this_tsc_nsec was
captured after ka->master_kernel_ns.
Forcing a masterclock update essentially fudged around that problem, but
in a heavy handed way that introduced undesirable side effects, i.e.
unnecessarily forces a masterclock update when a new vCPU joins the party
via hotplug.
Note, KVM forces masterclock updates in other weird ways that are also
likely unnecessary, e.g. when establishing a new Xen shared info page and
when userspace creates a brand new vCPU. But the Xen thing is firmly a
separate mess, and there are no known userspace VMMs that utilize kvmclock
*and* create new vCPUs after the VM is up and running. I.e. the other
issues are future problems.

When querying whether or not a vCPU "is" running in kernel mode, directly
get the CPL if the vCPU is the currently loaded vCPU. In scenarios where
a guest is profiled via perf-kvm, querying vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
from kvm_guest_state() is wrong if vCPU is actively running, i.e. isn't
scheduled out due to being preempted and so preempted_in_kernel is stale.
This affects perf/core's ability to accurately tag guest RIP with
PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_{KERNEL|USER} and record it in the sample. This
causes perf/tool to fail to connect the vCPU RIPs to the guest kernel
space symbols when parsing these samples due to incorrect PERF_RECORD_MISC
flags:
Before (perf-report of a cpu-cycles sample):
1.23% :58945 [unknown] [u] 0xffffffff818012e0
After:
1.35% :60703 [kernel.vmlinux] [g] asm_exc_page_fault
Note, checking preempted_in_kernel in kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() is awful
as nothing in the API's suggests that it's safe to use if and only if the
vCPU was preempted. That can be cleaned up in the future, for now just
fix the glaring correctness bug.
Note #2, checking vcpu->preempted is NOT safe, as getting the CPL on VMX
requires VMREAD, i.e. is correct if and only if the vCPU is loaded. If
the target vCPU *was* preempted, then it can be scheduled back in after
the check on vcpu->preempted in kvm_vcpu_on_spin(), i.e. KVM could end up
trying to do VMREAD on a VMCS that isn't loaded on the current pCPU.

Note:
- LAM doesn't apply to write to control registers or MSRs
- LAM masking is applied before walking page tables, i.e. the faulting
linear address in CR2 doesn't contain the metadata.
- The guest linear address saved in VMCS doesn't contain metadata.

Add a new x86 VM type, KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM, to serve as a development
and testing vehicle for Confidential (CoCo) VMs, and potentially to even
become a "real" product in the distant future, e.g. a la pKVM.
The private memory support in KVM x86 is aimed at AMD's SEV-SNP and
Intel's TDX, but those technologies are extremely complex (understatement),
difficult to debug, don't support running as nested guests, and require
hardware that's isn't universally accessible. I.e. relying SEV-SNP or TDX
for maintaining guest private memory isn't a realistic option.
At the very least, KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM will enable a variety of
selftests for guest_memfd and private memory support without requiring
unique hardware.

Let x86 track the number of address spaces on a per-VM basis so that KVM
can disallow SMM memslots for confidential VMs. Confidentials VMs are
fundamentally incompatible with emulating SMM, which as the name suggests
requires being able to read and write guest memory and register state.
Disallowing SMM will simplify support for guest private memory, as KVM
will not need to worry about tracking memory attributes for multiple
address spaces (SMM is the only "non-default" address space across all
architectures).

Disallow creating hugepages with mixed memory attributes, e.g. shared
versus private, as mapping a hugepage in this case would allow the guest
to access memory with the wrong attributes, e.g. overlaying private memory
with a shared hugepage.
Tracking whether or not attributes are mixed via the existing
disallow_lpage field, but use the most significant bit in 'disallow_lpage'
to indicate a hugepage has mixed attributes instead using the normal
refcounting. Whether or not attributes are mixed is binary; either they
are or they aren't. Attempting to squeeze that info into the refcount is
unnecessarily complex as it would require knowing the previous state of
the mixed count when updating attributes. Using a flag means KVM just
needs to ensure the current status is reflected in the memslots.

Initialize run->exit_reason to KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN early in KVM_RUN to reduce
the probability of exiting to userspace with a stale run->exit_reason that
*appears* to be valid.
To support fd-based guest memory (guest memory without a corresponding
userspace virtual address), KVM will exit to userspace for various memory
related errors, which userspace *may* be able to resolve, instead of using
e.g. BUS_MCEERR_AR. And in the more distant future, KVM will also likely
utilize the same functionality to let userspace "intercept" and handle
memory faults when the userspace mapping is missing, i.e. when fast gup()
fails.
Because many of KVM's internal APIs related to guest memory use '0' to
indicate "success, continue on" and not "exit to userspace", reporting
memory faults/errors to userspace will set run->exit_reason and
corresponding fields in the run structure fields in conjunction with a
a non-zero, negative return code, e.g. -EFAULT or -EHWPOISON. And because
KVM already returns -EFAULT in many paths, there's a relatively high
probability that KVM could return -EFAULT without setting run->exit_reason,
in which case reporting KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN is much better than reporting
whatever exit reason happened to be in the run structure.
Note, KVM must wait until after run->immediate_exit is serviced to
sanitize run->exit_reason as KVM's ABI is that run->exit_reason is
preserved across KVM_RUN when run->immediate_exit is true.

Add a new KVM exit type to allow userspace to handle memory faults that
KVM cannot resolve, but that userspace *may* be able to handle (without
terminating the guest).
KVM will initially use KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT to report implicit
conversions between private and shared memory. With guest private memory,
there will be two kind of memory conversions:
- explicit conversion: happens when the guest explicitly calls into KVM
to map a range (as private or shared)
- implicit conversion: happens when the guest attempts to access a gfn
that is configured in the "wrong" state (private vs. shared)
On x86 (first architecture to support guest private memory), explicit
conversions will be reported via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL+KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE,
but reporting KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL for implicit conversions is undesriable
as there is (obviously) no hypercall, and there is no guarantee that the
guest actually intends to convert between private and shared, i.e. what
KVM thinks is an implicit conversion "request" could actually be the
result of a guest code bug.
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT will be used to report memory faults that appear to
be implicit conversions.
Note! To allow for future possibilities where KVM reports
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT and fills run->memory_fault on _any_ unresolved
fault, KVM returns "-EFAULT" (-1 with errno == EFAULT from userspace's
perspective), not '0'! Due to historical baggage within KVM, exiting to
userspace with '0' from deep callstacks, e.g. in emulation paths, is
infeasible as doing so would require a near-complete overhaul of KVM,
whereas KVM already propagates -errno return codes to userspace even when
the -errno originated in a low level helper.
Report the gpa+size instead of a single gfn even though the initial usage
is expected to always report single pages. It's entirely possible, likely
even, that KVM will someday support sub-page granularity faults, e.g.
Intel's sub-page protection feature allows for additional protections at
128-byte granularity.

Introduce a "version 2" of KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION so that additional

padding in the new kvm_userspace_memory_region2 structure will be used to
pass a file descriptor in addition to the userspace_addr, i.e. allow
userspace to point at a file descriptor and map memory into a guest that
is NOT mapped into host userspace.
Alternatively, KVM could simply add "struct kvm_userspace_memory_region2"
without a new ioctl(), but as Paolo pointed out, adding a new ioctl()
makes detection of bad flags a bit more robust, e.g. if the new fd field
is guarded only by a flag and not a new ioctl(), then a userspace bug
(setting a "bad" flag) would generate out-of-bounds access instead of an
-EINVAL error.

KVM SVM changes for 6.7:

action for an instruction that has already been partially emulated. Drop a
hack in the SVM code that was fudging around the emulator code not giving
SVM enough information to do the right thing.
KVM PMU change for 6.7:
- Handle NMI/SMI requests after PMU/PMI requests so that a PMI=>NMI doesn't
require redoing the entire run loop due to the NMI not being detected until
the final kvm_vcpu_exit_request() check before entering the guest.
KVM x86 Xen changes for 6.7:
- Omit "struct kvm_vcpu_xen" entirely when CONFIG_KVM_XEN=n.
- Use the fast path directly from the timer callback when delivering Xen timer

the hrtimer isn't running when (re)starting the timer or saving the timer
information (for userspace).
- Follow the lead of upstream Xen and ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.7:
- Clean up code that deals with honoring guest MTRRs when the VM has
non-coherent DMA and host MTRRs are ignored, i.e. EPT is enabled.
- Zap EPT entries when non-coherent DMA assignment stops/start to prevent
using stale entries with the wrong memtype.
- Don't ignore guest PAT for CR0.CD=1 && KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED=y, as
there's zero reason to ignore guest PAT if the effective MTRR memtype is WB.
This will also allow for future optimizations of handling guest MTRR updates
for VMs with non-coherent DMA and the quirk enabled.
- Harden the fast page fault path to guard against encountering an invalid
root when walking SPTEs.
KVM x86 misc changes for 6.7:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS to allow supporting up to 4096 vCPUs without
forcing more common use cases to eat the extra memory overhead.
- Add IBPB and SBPB virtualization support.
- Fix a bug where restoring a vCPU snapshot that was taken within 1 second of
creating the original vCPU would cause KVM to try to synchronize the vCPU's
TSC and thus clobber the correct TSC being set by userspace.
- Compute guest wall clock using a single TSC read to avoid generating an
inaccurate time, e.g. if the vCPU is preempted between multiple TSC reads.
- "Virtualize" HWCR.TscFreqSel to make Linux guests happy, which complain
about a "Firmware Bug" if the bit isn't set for select F/M/S combos.
- Don't apply side effects to Hyper-V's synthetic timer on writes from
userspace to fix an issue where the auto-enable behavior can trigger
spurious interrupts, i.e. do auto-enabling only for guest writes.
- Remove an unnecessary kick of all vCPUs when synchronizing the dirty log
without PML enabled.
- Advertise "support" for non-serializing FS/GS base MSR writes as appropriate.
- Use octal notation for file permissions through KVM x86.
- Fix a handful of typo fixes and warts.
Service NMI and SMI requests after PMI requests in vcpu_enter_guest() so
that KVM does not need to cancel and redo the VM-Enter if the guest
configures its PMIs to be delivered as NMIs (likely) or SMIs (unlikely).
Because APIC emulation "injects" NMIs via KVM_REQ_NMI, handling PMI
requests after NMI requests (the likely case) means KVM won't detect the
pending NMI request until the final check for outstanding requests.
Detecting requests at the final stage is costly as KVM has already loaded
guest state, potentially queued events for injection, disabled IRQs,
dropped SRCU, etc., most of which needs to be unwound.
Note that changing the order of request processing doesn't change the end
result, as KVM's final check for outstanding requests prevents entering
the guest until all requests are serviced. I.e. KVM will ultimately
coalesce events (or not) regardless of the ordering.
Using SPEC2017 benchmark programs running along with Intel vtune in a VM
demonstrates that the following code change reduces 800~1500 canceled
VM-Enters per second.
Some glory details:

[sean: hoist PMU/PMI above SMI too, massage changelog]
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Hyper-V enabled Windows Server 2022 KVM VM cannot be started on Zen1 Ryzen
since it crashes at boot with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED +
STATUS_PRIVILEGED_INSTRUCTION (in other words, because of an unexpected #GP
in the guest kernel).
This is because Windows tries to set bit 8 in MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG and can't
handle receiving a #GP when doing so.
Give this MSR the same treatment that commit 2e32b71906
("x86, kvm: Add MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 to the list of ignored MSRs") gave
MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 under justification that this MSR is baremetal-relevant
only.
Although apparently it was then needed for Linux guests, not Windows as in
this case.
With this change, the aforementioned guest setup is able to finish booting
successfully.
This issue can be reproduced either on a Summit Ridge Ryzen (with
just "-cpu host") or on a Naples EPYC (with "-cpu host,stepping=1" since
EPYC is ordinarily stepping 2).
Alternatively, userspace could solve the problem by using MSR filters, but
forcing every userspace to define a filter isn't very friendly and doesn't
add much, if any, value. The only potential hiccup is if one of these
"baremetal-only" MSRs ever requires actual emulation and/or has F/M/S
specific behavior. But if that happens, then KVM can still punt *that*
handling to userspace since userspace MSR filters "win" over KVM's default
handling.

KVM x86/pmu fixes for 6.6:
- Truncate writes to PMU counters to the counter's width to avoid spurious
overflows when emulating counter events in software.
- Set the LVTPC entry mask bit when handling a PMI (to match Intel-defined
architectural behavior).
- Treat KVM_REQ_PMI as a wake event instead of queueing host IRQ work to
kick the guest out of emulated halt.
Mask off xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest only when saving guest
state via KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} instead of modifying user_xfeatures directly.
Preserving the maximal set of xfeatures in user_xfeatures restores KVM's
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which prior to commit ad856280dd ("x86/kvm/fpu:
Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0") allowed userspace
to load xfeatures that are supported by the host, irrespective of what
xfeatures are exposed to the guest.
There is no known use case where userspace *intentionally* loads xfeatures
that aren't exposed to the guest, but the bug fixed by commit ad856280dd
was specifically that KVM_GET_SAVE{2} would save xfeatures that weren't
exposed to the guest, e.g. would lead to userspace unintentionally loading
guest-unsupported xfeatures when live migrating a VM.
Restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE to guest-supported xfeatures is especially
problematic for QEMU-based setups, as QEMU has a bug where instead of
terminating the VM if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails, QEMU instead simply stops
loading guest state, i.e. resumes the guest after live migration with
incomplete guest state, and ultimately results in guest data corruption.
Note, letting userspace restore all host-supported xfeatures does not fix
setups where a VM is migrated from a host *without* commit ad856280dd,
to a target with a subset of host-supported xfeatures. However there is
no way to safely address that scenario, e.g. KVM could silently drop the
unsupported features, but that would be a clear violation of KVM's ABI and
so would require userspace to opt-in, at which point userspace could
simply be updated to sanitize the to-be-loaded XSAVE state.

Plumb an xfeatures mask into __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() so that KVM can
constrain which xfeatures are saved into the userspace buffer without
having to modify the user_xfeatures field in KVM's guest_fpu state.
KVM's ABI for KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} is that features that are not exposed to
guest must not show up in the effective xstate_bv field of the buffer.
Saving only the guest-supported xfeatures allows userspace to load the
saved state on a different host with a fewer xfeatures, so long as the
target host supports the xfeatures that are exposed to the guest.
KVM currently sets user_xfeatures directly to restrict KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} to
the set of guest-supported xfeatures, but doing so broke KVM's historical
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which allows userspace to load any xfeatures that
are supported by the *host*.

Zap KVM TDP when noncoherent DMA assignment starts (noncoherent dma count
transitions from 0 to 1) or stops (noncoherent dma count transitions
from 1 to 0). Before the zap, test if guest MTRR is to be honored after
the assignment starts or was honored before the assignment stops.
When there's no noncoherent DMA device, EPT memory type is
((MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT) | VMX_EPT_IPAT_BIT)
When there're noncoherent DMA devices, EPT memory type needs to honor
guest CR0.CD and MTRR settings.
So, if noncoherent DMA count transitions between 0 and 1, EPT leaf entries
need to be zapped to clear stale memory type.
This issue might be hidden when the device is statically assigned with
VFIO adding/removing MMIO regions of the noncoherent DMA devices for
several times during guest boot, and current KVM MMU will call
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() on the memslot removal.
But if the device is hot-plugged, or if the guest has mmio_always_on for
the device, the MMIO regions of it may only be added for once, then there's
no path to do the EPT entries zapping to clear stale memory type.
Therefore do the EPT zapping when noncoherent assignment starts/stops to
ensure stale entries cleaned away.

Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
The legacy API for setting the TSC is fundamentally broken, and only
allows userspace to set a TSC "now", without any way to account for
time lost between the calculation of the value, and the kernel eventually
handling the ioctl.
To work around this, KVM has a hack which, if a TSC is set with a value
which is within a second's worth of the last TSC "written" to any vCPU in
the VM, assumes that userspace actually intended the two TSC values to be
in sync and adjusts the newly-written TSC value accordingly.
Thus, when a VMM restores a guest after suspend or migration using the
legacy API, the TSCs aren't necessarily *right*, but at least they're
in sync.
This trick falls down when restoring a guest which genuinely has been
running for less time than the 1 second of imprecision KVM allows for in
in the legacy API. On *creation*, the first vCPU starts its TSC counting
from zero, and the subsequent vCPUs synchronize to that. But then when
the VMM tries to restore a vCPU's intended TSC, because the VM has been
alive for less than 1 second and KVM's default TSC value for new vCPU's is
'0', the intended TSC is within a second of the last "written" TSC and KVM
incorrectly adjusts the intended TSC in an attempt to synchronize.
But further hacks can be piled onto KVM's existing hackish ABI, and
declare that the *first* value written by *userspace* (on any vCPU)
should not be subject to this "correction", i.e. KVM can assume that the
first write from userspace is not an attempt to sync up with TSC values
that only come from the kernel's default vCPU creation.
To that end: Add a flag, kvm->arch.user_set_tsc, protected by
kvm->arch.tsc_write_lock, to record that a TSC for at least one vCPU in
the VM *has* been set by userspace, and make the 1-second slop hack only
trigger if user_set_tsc is already set.
Note that userspace can explicitly request a *synchronization* of the
TSC by writing zero. For the purpose of user_set_tsc, an explicit
synchronization counts as "setting" the TSC, i.e. if userspace then
subsequently writes an explicit non-zero value which happens to be within
1 second of the previous value, the new value will be "corrected". This
behavior is deliberate, as treating explicit synchronization as "setting"
the TSC preserves KVM's existing behaviour inasmuch as possible (KVM
always applied the 1-second "correction" regardless of whether the write
came from userspace vs. the kernel).

On certain CPUs, Linux guests expect HWCR.TscFreqSel[bit 24] to be
set. If it isn't set, they complain:
[Firmware Bug]: TSC doesn't count with P0 frequency!
Allow userspace (and the guest) to set this bit in the virtual HWCR to
eliminate the above complaint.
Allow the guest to write the bit even though its is R/O on *some* CPUs.
Like many bits in HWRC, TscFreqSel is not architectural at all. On Family
10h[1], it was R/W and powered on as 0. In Family 15h, one of the "changes
relative to Family 10H Revision D processors[2] was:
• MSRC001_0015 [Hardware Configuration (HWCR)]:
• Dropped TscFreqSel; TSC can no longer be selected to run at NB P0-state.
Despite the "Dropped" above, that same document later describes
HWCR[bit 24] as follows:
TscFreqSel: TSC frequency select. Read-only. Reset: 1. 1=The TSC
increments at the P0 frequency
If the guest clears the bit, the worst case scenario is the guest will be
no worse off than it is today, e.g. the whining may return after a guest
clears the bit and kexec()'s into a new kernel.

When populating the guest's PV wall clock information, KVM currently does
a simple 'kvm_get_real_ns() - get_kvmclock_ns(kvm)'. This is an antipattern
which should be avoided; when working with the relationship between two
clocks, it's never correct to obtain one of them "now" and then the other
at a slightly different "now" after an unspecified period of preemption
(which might not even be under the control of the kernel, if this is an
L1 hosting an L2 guest under nested virtualization).
Add a kvm_get_wall_clock_epoch() function to return the guest wall clock
epoch in nanoseconds using the same method as __get_kvmclock() — by using
kvm_get_walltime_and_clockread() to calculate both the wall clock and KVM
clock time from a *single* TSC reading.
The condition using get_cpu_tsc_khz() is equivalent to the version in
__get_kvmclock() which separately checks for the CONSTANT_TSC feature or
the per-CPU cpu_tsc_khz. Which is what get_cpu_tsc_khz() does anyway.

Userspace can directly modify the content of vCPU's CR0, CR3, and CR4 via

TLB entries and paging-structure caches if a (partial) guest TLB flush is

flush whenever KVM resets the MMU context, i.e. if any bits in CR0, CR3,

When the irq_work callback, kvm_pmi_trigger_fn(), is invoked during a
VM-exit that also invokes __kvm_perf_overflow() as a result of
instruction emulation, kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() will be called twice
before the next VM-entry.
Calling kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() twice is unlikely to be problematic now that
KVM sets the LVTPC mask bit when delivering a PMI. But using IRQ work to
trigger the PMI is still broken, albeit very theoretically.
E.g. if the self-IPI to trigger IRQ work is be delayed long enough for the
vCPU to be migrated to a different pCPU, then it's possible for
kvm_pmi_trigger_fn() to race with the kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() from
KVM_REQ_PMI and still generate two PMIs.
KVM could set the mask bit using an atomic operation, but that'd just be
piling on unnecessary code to workaround what is effectively a hack. The
*only* reason KVM uses IRQ work is to ensure the PMI is treated as a wake
event, e.g. if the vCPU just executed HLT.
Remove the irq_work callback for synthesizing a PMI, and all of the
logic for invoking it. Instead, to prevent a vcpu from leaving C0 with
a PMI pending, add a check for KVM_REQ_PMI to kvm_vcpu_has_events().

Stop zapping invalidate TDP MMU roots via work queue now that KVM
preserves TDP MMU roots until they are explicitly invalidated. Zapping
roots asynchronously was effectively a workaround to avoid stalling a vCPU
for an extended during if a vCPU unloaded a root, which at the time
happened whenever the guest toggled CR0.WP (a frequent operation for some
guest kernels).
While a clever hack, zapping roots via an unbound worker had subtle,
unintended consequences on host scheduling, especially when zapping
multiple roots, e.g. as part of a memslot. Because the work of zapping a
root is no longer bound to the task that initiated the zap, things like
the CPU affinity and priority of the original task get lost. Losing the
affinity and priority can be especially problematic if unbound workqueues
aren't affined to a small number of CPUs, as zapping multiple roots can
cause KVM to heavily utilize the majority of CPUs in the system, *beyond*
the CPUs KVM is already using to run vCPUs.
When deleting a memslot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, the async root
zap can result in KVM occupying all logical CPUs for ~8ms, and result in
high priority tasks not being scheduled in in a timely manner. In v5.15,
which doesn't preserve unloaded roots, the issues were even more noticeable
as KVM would zap roots more frequently and could occupy all CPUs for 50ms+.
Consuming all CPUs for an extended duration can lead to significant jitter
throughout the system, e.g. on ChromeOS with virtio-gpu, deleting memslots
is a semi-frequent operation as memslots are deleted and recreated with
different host virtual addresses to react to host GPU drivers allocating
and freeing GPU blobs. On ChromeOS, the jitter manifests as audio blips
during games due to the audio server's tasks not getting scheduled in
promptly, despite the tasks having a high realtime priority.
Deleting memslots isn't exactly a fast path and should be avoided when
possible, and ChromeOS is working towards utilizing MAP_FIXED to avoid the
memslot shenanigans, but KVM is squarely in the wrong. Not to mention
that removing the async zapping eliminates a non-trivial amount of
complexity.
Note, one of the subtle behaviors hidden behind the async zapping is that
KVM would zap invalidated roots only once (ignoring partial zaps from
things like mmu_notifier events). Preserve this behavior by adding a flag
to identify roots that are scheduled to be zapped versus roots that have
already been zapped but not yet freed.
Add a comment calling out why kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots() can
encounter invalid roots, as it's not at all obvious why zapping
invalidated roots shouldn't simply zap all invalid roots.

will be used by KVMGT and will effectively replace the existing
track_flush_slot() altogether now that KVM itself doesn't rely on the
"flush" hook either.
The "flush" hook is flawed as it's invoked before the memslot operation
is guaranteed to succeed, i.e. KVM might ultimately keep the existing
memslot without notifying external page track users, a.k.a. KVMGT. In
practice, this can't currently happen on x86, but there are no guarantees
that won't change in the future, not to mention that "flush" does a very
poor job of describing what is happening.
Pass in the gfn+nr_pages instead of the slot itself so external users,
i.e. KVMGT, don't need to exposed to KVM internals (memslots). This will
help set the stage for additional cleanups to the page-track APIs.
Opportunistically align the existing srcu_read_lock_held() usage so that
the new case doesn't stand out like a sore thumb (and not aligning the
new code makes bots unhappy).

- Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie the
"emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded, and move all of
the logic within KVM
- Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the TSC
ratio MSR can diverge from the default iff TSC scaling is enabled, and clean
up related code
- Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can check if
the guest can use a feature without needing to search guest CPUID
KVM: x86: Selftests changes for 6.6:

- Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts to use
printf-based reporting
- Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases
- Include x86 selftests in the KVM x86 MAINTAINERS entry
KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.6
- Add support for TLB range invalidation of Stage-2 page tables,
avoiding unnecessary invalidations. Systems that do not implement
range invalidation still rely on a full invalidation when dealing
with large ranges.
- Add infrastructure for forwarding traps taken from a L2 guest to
the L1 guest, with L0 acting as the dispatcher, another baby step

- Simplify the way we deal with the (long deprecated) 'CPU target',
resulting in a much needed cleanup.
- Fix another set of PMU bugs, both on the guest and host sides,
as we seem to never have any shortage of those...
- Relax the alignment requirements of EL2 VA allocations for
non-stack allocations, as we were otherwise wasting a lot of that
precious VA space.

if XSAVES can be used by the guest. Add a comment in the SVM code to
explain the very unintuitive logic of deliberately NOT checking if XSAVES
is enumerated in the guest CPUID model.
No functional change intended.

Drop the WARN in KVM_RUN that asserts that KVM isn't using the hypervisor
timer, a.k.a. the VMX preemption timer, for a vCPU that is in the
UNINITIALIZIED activity state. The intent of the WARN is to sanity check
that KVM won't drop a timer interrupt due to an unexpected transition to
UNINITIALIZED, but unfortunately userspace can use various ioctl()s to
force the unexpected state.
Drop the sanity check instead of switching from the hypervisor timer to a
software based timer, as the only reason to switch to a software timer
when a vCPU is blocking is to ensure the timer interrupt wakes the vCPU,
but said interrupt isn't a valid wake event for vCPUs in UNINITIALIZED
state *and* the interrupt will be dropped in the end.
