KVM: s390: wire up bpb feature

2018-01-20T16:30:47+00:00

The new firmware interfaces for branch prediction behaviour changes
are transparently available for the guest. Nevertheless, there is
new state attached that should be migrated and properly resetted.
Provide a mechanism for handling reset, migration and VSIE.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Provide information about hardware/firmware CVE workarounds

2018-01-19T04:17:01+00:00

This adds a new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, that gives userspace
information about the underlying machine's level of vulnerability
to the recently announced vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754, and whether the machine provides
instructions to assist software to work around the vulnerabilities.

The ioctl returns two u64 words describing characteristics of the
CPU and required software behaviour respectively, plus two mask
words which indicate which bits have been filled in by the kernel,
for extensibility.  The bit definitions are the same as for the
new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall.

There is also a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, which
indicates whether the new ioctl is available.

KVM: s390: mark irq_state.flags as non-usable

2017-12-06T08:18:43+00:00

Old kernels did not check for zero in the irq_state.flags field and old
QEMUs did not zero the flag/reserved fields when calling
KVM_S390_*_IRQ_STATE.  Let's add comments to prevent future uses of
these fields.

KVM: s390: provide a capability for AIS state migration

2017-11-09T15:48:51+00:00

The AIS capability was introduced in 4.12, while the interface to
migrate the state was added in 4.13. Unfortunately it is not possible
for userspace to detect the migration capability without creating a flic
kvm device. As in QEMU the cpu model detection runs on the "none"
machine this will result in cpu model issues regarding the "ais"
capability.

To get the "ais" capability properly let's add a new KVM capability that
tells userspace that AIS states can be migrated.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Report storage key support to userspace

2017-08-31T02:36:44+00:00

This adds information about storage keys to the struct returned by
the KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO ioctl.  The new fields replace a pad field,
which was zeroed by previous kernel versions.  Thus userspace that
knows about the new fields will see zeroes when running on an older
kernel, indicating that storage keys are not supported.  The size of
the structure has not changed.

The number of keys is hard-coded for the CPUs supported by HV KVM,
which is just POWER7, POWER8 and POWER9.

kvm: x86: hyperv: make VP_INDEX managed by userspace

2017-07-14T14:28:18+00:00

Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be
queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr.  It is defined by the spec as a
sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM.
APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP
indices.

Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX.  However, to make
it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to
control the value of VP_INDEX.

This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and
allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side.  For
compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index.  Also a few variables
are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and
KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id).  Besides, a new capability,
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip
attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs.

kvm: x86: hyperv: add KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2

2017-07-13T15:41:04+00:00

There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message
page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr,
KVM zeroes it out.  This is problematic because on migration the
corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of
those pages is lost.

This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was
in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that
zeroing.

Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and
zeroing them breaks the migration.

Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by
QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the
guest side.

To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability,
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic
pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

KVM: s390: Fix KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS ioctl definition

2017-07-12T20:38:26+00:00

In case of KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS, the kernel does not only read struct
kvm_s390_cmma_log passed from userspace (which constitutes _IOC_WRITE),
it also writes back a return value (which constitutes _IOC_READ) making
this an _IOWR ioctl instead of _IOW.
