A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Run kvm-unit-tests/eventinj.flat in L1:
Sending NMI to self
After NMI to self
FAIL: NMI
This test scenario is to test whether VMM can handle NMI IDT-vectoring info correctly.
At the beginning, L2 writes LAPIC to send a self NMI, the EPT page tables on both L1
and L0 are empty so:
- The L2 accesses memory can generate EPT violation which can be intercepted by L0.
The EPT violation vmexit occurred during delivery of this NMI, and the NMI info is
recorded in vmcs02's IDT-vectoring info.
- L0 walks L1's EPT12 and L0 sees the mapping is invalid, it injects the EPT violation into L1.
The vmcs02's IDT-vectoring info is reflected to vmcs12's IDT-vectoring info since
it is a nested vmexit.
- L1 receives the EPT violation, then fixes its EPT12.
- L1 executes VMRESUME to resume L2 which generates vmexit and causes L1 exits to L0.
- L0 emulates VMRESUME which is called from L1, then return to L2.
L0 merges the requirement of vmcs12's IDT-vectoring info and injects it to L2 through
vmcs02.
- The L2 re-executes the fault instruction and cause EPT violation again.
- Since the L1's EPT12 is valid, L0 can fix its EPT02
- L0 resume L2
The EPT violation vmexit occurred during delivery of this NMI again, and the NMI info
is recorded in vmcs02's IDT-vectoring info. L0 should inject the NMI through vmentry
event injection since it is caused by EPT02's EPT violation.
However, vmx_inject_nmi() refuses to inject NMI from IDT-vectoring info if vCPU is in
guest mode, this patch fix it by permitting to inject NMI from IDT-vectoring if it is
the L0's responsibility to inject NMI from IDT-vectoring info to L2.

I observed that kvmvapic(to optimize flexpriority=N or AMD) is used
to boost TPR access when testing kvm-unit-test/eventinj.flat tpr case
on my haswell desktop (w/ flexpriority, w/o APICv). Commit (8d14695f95

completely if w/o APICv, and the author also told me that windows guest
can't enter into x2apic mode when he developed the APICv feature several
years ago. However, it is not truth currently, Interrupt Remapping and
vIOMMU is added to qemu and the developers from Intel test windows 8 can
work in x2apic mode w/ Interrupt Remapping enabled recently.
This patch enables TPR shadow for virtual x2apic mode to boost
windows guest in x2apic mode even if w/o APICv.
Can pass the kvm-unit-test.

The nested preemption timer is based on hrtimer which is started on L2
entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the new check_nested_events
hook. The current logic adds vCPU to a simple waitqueue (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
if need to yield pCPU and w/o holding srcu read lock when accesses memslots,
both can be in nested preemption timer evaluation path which results in
the warning above.
This patch fix it by leveraging request bit to async reload APIC access

preemption timer evaluation, it is safe since the vmcs01 is loaded and

Fix this by using a temporary int for the comparison

[Computation of TSC page parameters rewritten to use the Linux timekeeper
parameters. - Paolo]
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Introduce a function that reads the exact nanoseconds value that is
provided to the guest in kvmclock. This crystallizes the notion of
kvmclock as a thin veneer over a stable TSC, that the guest will
(hopefully) convert with NTP. In other words, kvmclock is *not* a
paravirtualized host-to-guest NTP.
Drop the get_kernel_ns() function, that was used both to get the base
value of the master clock and to get the current value of kvmclock.
The former use is replaced by ktime_get_boot_ns(), the latter is
the purpose of get_kernel_ns().
This also allows KVM to provide a Hyper-V time reference counter that
is synchronized with the time that is computed from the TSC page.

This commit exports the following information to
user-space via the newly created per-vcpu debugfs
directory:
- TSC offset (as a signed number)
- TSC scaling ratio
- TSC scaling ratio fractinal bits
The original intention of this commit was to
export only the TSC offset, but the TSC scaling
information is exported for completeness.
We need to retrieve the TSC offset from user-space
in order to support the merging of host and guest
traces in trace-cmd. Today, we use the kvm_write_tsc_offset
tracepoint, but it has a number of problems (mainly,
it requires a running VM to be rebooted, ftrace setup,
and also tracepoints are not supposed to be ABIs).
The merging of host and guest traces is explained
in more detail in this thread:

While the Intel PMU monitors the LLC when perf enables the
HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and HW_CACHE_MISSES events, these events monitor
L1 instruction cache fetches (0x0080) and instruction cache misses
(0x0081) on the AMD PMU.
This is extremely confusing when monitoring the same workload across
Intel and AMD machines, since parameters like,
$ perf stat -e cache-references,cache-misses
measure completely different things.
Instead, make the AMD PMU measure instruction/data cache and TLB fill
requests to the L2 and instruction/data cache and TLB misses in the L2
when HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and HW_CACHE_MISSES are enabled,
respectively. That way the events measure unified caches on both
platforms.

When userspace sends KVM_SET_LAPIC, KVM schedules a check between
the vCPU's IRR and ISR and the IOAPIC redirection table, in order
to re-establish the IOAPIC's dest_map (the list of CPUs servicing
the real-time clock interrupt with the corresponding vectors).
However, __rtc_irq_eoi_tracking_restore_one was forgetting to
set dest_map->vectors. Because of this, the IOAPIC did not process
the real-time clock interrupt EOI, ioapic->rtc_status.pending_eoi
got stuck at a non-zero value, and further RTC interrupts were
reported to userspace as coalesced.

In case AVIC is enabled, during vcpu_load/unload, SVM needs to update
IOMMU IRTE with appropriate host physical APIC ID. Also, when
vcpu_blocking/unblocking, SVM needs to update the is-running bit in
the IOMMU IRTE. Both are achieved via calling amd_iommu_update_ga().
However, if GA mode is not enabled for the pass-through device,
IOMMU driver will simply just return when calling amd_iommu_update_ga.

Commit 61abdbe0bc ("kvm: x86: make lapic hrtimer pinned") pins the emulated
lapic timer. This patch does the same for the emulated nested preemption
timer to avoid vmexit an unrelated vCPU and the latency of kicking IPI to
another vCPU.

TSC_OFFSET will be adjusted if discovers TSC backward during vCPU load.
The preemption timer, which relies on the guest tsc to reprogram its
preemption timer value, is also reprogrammed if vCPU is scheded in to
a different pCPU. However, the current implementation reprogram preemption
timer before TSC_OFFSET is adjusted to the right value, resulting in the
preemption timer firing prematurely.
This patch fix it by adjusting TSC_OFFSET before reprogramming preemption
timer if TSC backward.

If vmcs12 does not intercept APIC_BASE writes, then KVM will handle the
write with vmcs02 as the current VMCS.
This will incorrectly apply modifications intended for vmcs01 to vmcs02
and L2 can use it to gain access to L0's x2APIC registers by disabling
virtualized x2APIC while using msr bitmap that assumes enabled.
Postpone execution of vmx_set_virtual_x2apic_mode until vmcs01 is the
current VMCS. An alternative solution would temporarily make vmcs01 the
current VMCS, but it requires more care.

msr bitmap can be used to avoid a VM exit (interception) on guest MSR
accesses. In some configurations of VMX controls, the guest can even
directly access host's x2APIC MSRs. See SDM 29.5 VIRTUALIZING MSR-BASED
APIC ACCESSES.
L2 could read all L0's x2APIC MSRs and write TPR, EOI, and SELF_IPI.
To do so, L1 would first trick KVM to disable all possible interceptions
by enabling APICv features and then would turn those features off;
nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap() only disabled interceptions, so VMX would
not intercept previously enabled MSRs even though they were not safe
with the new configuration.
Correctly re-enabling interceptions is not enough as a second bug would
still allow L1+L2 to access host's MSRs: msr bitmap was shared for all
VMCSs, so L1 could trigger a race to get the desired combination of msr
bitmap and VMX controls.
This fix allocates a msr bitmap for every L1 VCPU, allows only safe
x2APIC MSRs from L1's msr bitmap, and disables msr bitmaps if they would
have to intercept everything anyway.

Guided by grsecurity's analogous __read_only markings in arch/x86,
this applies several uses of __ro_after_init to structures that are

never updated. Additionally extends __init markings to some functions
that are only used during __init, and cleans up some missing C99 style

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.8 - Take 2
Includes GSI routing support to go along with the new VGIC and a small fix that
has been cooking in -next for a while.
VGIC implementation.
- s390: support for trapping software breakpoints, nested virtualization
(vSIE), the STHYI opcode, initial extensions for CPU model support.
- MIPS: support for MIPS64 hosts (32-bit guests only) and lots of cleanups,
preliminary to this and the upcoming support for hardware virtualization
extensions.
- x86: support for execute-only mappings in nested EPT; reduced vmexit
latency for TSC deadline timer (by about 30%) on Intel hosts; support for
more than 255 vCPUs.
- PPC: bugfixes.
The ugly bit is the conflicts. A couple of them are simple conflicts due
to 4.7 fixes, but most of them are with other trees. There was definitely
too much reliance on Acked-by here. Some conflicts are for KVM patches
where _I_ gave my Acked-by, but the worst are for this pull request's
patches that touch files outside arch/*/kvm. KVM submaintainers should
probably learn to synchronize better with arch maintainers, with the
latter providing topic branches whenever possible instead of Acked-by.
This is what we do with arch/x86. And I should learn to refuse pull
requests when linux-next sends scary signals, even if that means that
submaintainers have to rebase their branches.
Anyhow, here's the list:
- arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c: handle_pcommit and EXIT_REASON_PCOMMIT was removed
by the nvdimm tree. This tree adds handle_preemption_timer and
EXIT_REASON_PREEMPTION_TIMER at the same place. In general all mentions
of pcommit have to go.
There is also a conflict between a stable fix and this patch, where the
stable fix removed the vmx_create_pml_buffer function and its call.
- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: kvm_cpu_notifier was removed by the hotplug tree.
This tree adds kvm_io_bus_get_dev at the same place.
- virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c: a few final bugfixes went into 4.7 before the
file was completely removed for 4.8.
- include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-v3.h: this one is entirely our fault;
this is a change that should have gone in through the irqchip tree and
pulled by kvm-arm. I think I would have rejected this kvm-arm pull
request. The KVM version is the right one, except that it lacks
GITS_BASER_PAGES_SHIFT.
- arch/powerpc: what a mess. For the idle_book3s.S conflict, the KVM
tree is the right one; everything else is trivial. In this case I am
not quite sure what went wrong. The commit that is causing the mess
(fd7bacbca4, "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix TB corruption in guest exit
path on HMI interrupt", 2016-05-15) touches both arch/powerpc/kernel/
and arch/powerpc/kvm/. It's large, but at 396 insertions/5 deletions
I guessed that it wasn't really possible to split it and that the 5
deletions wouldn't conflict. That wasn't the case.
- arch/s390: also messy. First is hypfs_diag.c where the KVM tree
moved some code and the s390 tree patched it. You have to reapply the
relevant part of commits 6c22c98637, plus all of e030c1125e, to
arch/s390/kernel/diag.c. Or pick the linux-next conflict
resolution from http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=146717549531603&w=2.
Second, there is a conflict in gmap.c between a stable fix and 4.8.
The KVM version here is the correct one.
I have pushed my resolution at refs/heads/merge-20160802 (commit
3d1f53419842) at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git.

Kexec needs to know the addresses of all VMCSs that are active on
each CPU, so that it can flush them from the VMCS caches. It is
safe to record superfluous addresses that are not associated with
an active VMCS, but it is not safe to omit an address associated
with an active VMCS.
After a call to vmcs_load, the VMCS that was loaded is active on
the CPU. The VMCS should be added to the CPU's list of active
VMCSs before it is loaded.

KVM maintains L1's current VMCS in guest memory, at the guest physical
page identified by the argument to VMPTRLD. This makes hairy
time-of-check to time-of-use bugs possible,as VCPUs can be writing
the the VMCS page in memory while KVM is emulating VMLAUNCH and
VMRESUME.
The spec documents that writing to the VMCS page while it is loaded is
"undefined". Therefore it is reasonable to load the entire VMCS into
an internal cache during VMPTRLD and ignore writes to the VMCS page
-- the guest should be using VMREAD and VMWRITE to access the current
VMCS.
To adhere to the spec, KVM should flush the current VMCS during VMPTRLD,
and the target VMCS during VMCLEAR (as given by the operand to VMCLEAR).
Since this implementation of VMCS caching only maintains the the current
VMCS, VMCLEAR will only do a flush if the operand to VMCLEAR is the
current VMCS pointer.
KVM will also flush during VMXOFF, which is not mandated by the spec,
but also not in conflict with the spec.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.
3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
