kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cache

2014-10-31T14:11:08+00:00

commit ee3d1570b58677885b4552bce8217fda7b226a68 upstream.

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.

If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.

We can prevent the following case:

   vcpu (CPU 0)                             | thread (CPU 1)
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------
1  vm exit                                  |
2  srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu)             |
3  decide to cache something based on       |
     old memslots                           |
4                                           | change memslots
                                            | (increments generation)
5                                           | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
6  retrieve generation # from new memslots  |
7  tag cache with new memslot generation    |
8  srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu)             |
...                                         |
                       |
...                                         |
                                  |
                                            |

By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).

Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots.  It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.

To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE.  This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited.  Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

KVM: mmu: allow page tables to be in read-only slots

2013-09-17T09:52:31+00:00

Page tables in a read-only memory slot will currently cause a triple
fault because the page walker uses gfn_to_hva and it fails on such a slot.

OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with
that as long as the accessed/dirty bits are set.  Save whether the slot
is readonly, and later check it when updating the accessed and dirty bits.

KVM: s390: Make KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD usable on s390

2013-07-29T07:03:53+00:00

Current common code uses PAGE_OFFSET to indicate a bad host virtual address.
As this check won't work on architectures that don't map kernel and user memory
into the same address space (e.g. s390), such architectures can now provide
their own KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD defines.

KVM: Introduce kvm_arch_memslots_updated()

2013-07-18T10:29:25+00:00

This is called right after the memslots is updated, i.e. when the result
of update_memslots() gets installed in install_new_memslots().  Since
the memslots needs to be updated twice when we delete or move a memslot,
kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() does not correspond to this exactly.

In the following patch, x86 will use this new API to check if the mmio
generation has reached its maximum value, in which case mmio sptes need
to be flushed out.

kvm: exclude ioeventfd from counting kvm_io_range limit

2013-06-04T08:49:38+00:00

We can easily reach the 1000 limit by start VM with a couple
hundred I/O devices (multifunction=on). The hardcode limit
already been adjusted 3 times (6 ~ 200 ~ 300 ~ 1000).

In userspace, we already have maximum file descriptor to
limit ioeventfd count. But kvm_io_bus devices also are used
for pit, pic, ioapic, coalesced_mmio. They couldn't be limited
by maximum file descriptor.

Currently only ioeventfds take too much kvm_io_bus devices,
so just exclude it from counting kvm_io_range limit.

Also fixed one indent issue in kvm_host.h

kvm: Move guest entry/exit APIs to context_tracking

2013-05-31T09:32:30+00:00

The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well
inclusion when archs don't support KVM.

This results in build crashes for such archs when they
want to implement context tracking because this subsystem
includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the
guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case.

To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit()
declarations and generic implementation to the context
tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to
this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking
like user_enter() et al.

KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the
other buggy way around.

KVM: x86: limit difference between kvmclock updates

2013-05-15T17:36:09+00:00

kvmclock updates which are isolated to a given vcpu, such as vcpu->cpu
migration, should not allow system_timestamp from the rest of the vcpus
to remain static. Otherwise ntp frequency correction applies to one
vcpu's system_timestamp but not the others.

So in those cases, request a kvmclock update for all vcpus. The worst
case for a remote vcpu to update its kvmclock is then bounded by maximum
nohz sleep latency.
