MIPS: KVM: Fix modular KVM under QEMU

2016-07-27T15:42:13+00:00

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream. Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module. This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable, but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they are marked global. An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user (guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address error exceptions.

MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when writing CP0_Compare

2016-06-01T19:18:02+00:00

commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f upstream. Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit (CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is nowhere near CP0_Count. We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the write.

MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when freezing timer

2016-06-01T19:18:02+00:00

commit 4355c44f063d3de4f072d796604c7f4ba4085cc3 upstream. There's a particularly narrow and subtle race condition when the software emulated guest timer is frozen which can allow a guest timer interrupt to be missed. This happens due to the hrtimer expiry being inexact, so very occasionally the freeze time will be after the moment when the emulated CP0_Count transitions to the same value as CP0_Compare (so an IRQ should be generated), but before the moment when the hrtimer is due to expire (so no IRQ is generated). The IRQ won't be generated when the timer is resumed either, since the resume CP0_Count will already match CP0_Compare. With VZ guests in particular this is far more likely to happen, since the soft timer may be frozen frequently in order to restore the timer state to the hardware guest timer. This happens after 5-10 hours of guest soak testing, resulting in an overflow in guest kernel timekeeping calculations, hanging the guest. A more focussed test case to intentionally hit the race (with the help of a new hypcall to cause the timer state to migrated between hardware & software) hits the condition fairly reliably within around 30 seconds. Instead of relying purely on the inexact hrtimer expiry to determine whether an IRQ should be generated, read the guest CP0_Compare and directly check whether the freeze time is before or after it. Only if CP0_Count is on or after CP0_Compare do we check the hrtimer expiry to determine whether the last IRQ has already been generated (which will have pushed back the expiry by one timer period).

mips/kvm: fix ioctl error handling

Returning directly whatever copy_to_user(...) or copy_from_user(...) returns may not do the right thing if there's a pagefault: copy_to_user/copy_from_user return the number of bytes not copied in this case, but ioctls need to return -EFAULT instead.

KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq

2016-02-25T10:27:16+00:00

The problem: On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path: 1) hard interrupt 2) ksoftirqd is scheduled 3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread 4) vcpu thread is scheduled This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the LAPIC path for a KVM guest. The solution: Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context, thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled. Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which is not allowed from hard interrupt context. cyclictest command line: This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us. Daniel writes: Paolo asked for numbers from kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency benchmark on mainline. The test was run 1000 times on tip/sched/core 4.4.0-rc8-01134-g0905f04: ./x86-run x86/tscdeadline_latency.flat -cpu host with idle=poll. The test seems not to deliver really stable numbers though most of them are smaller. Paolo write: "Anything above ~10000 cycles means that the host went to C1 or lower---the number means more or less nothing in that case. The mean shows an improvement indeed."

MIPS: Move KVM specific opcodes into asm/inst.h

The header arch/mips/kvm/opcode.h defines a few extra opcodes which aren't in arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/inst.h. There's nothing KVM specific about them, so lets move them into inst.h where they belong and delete the header. Note that mfmcz_op is renamed to mfmc0_op to match the instruction set manual, and wait_op was already added to inst.h in commit b0a3eae2b943 ("MIPS: inst.h: define COP0 wait op"), merged in v3.16-rc1.
