<id>urn:sha1:673a0842b66487ff04d11cd92464feec7b27ccfe</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2ad7a27deaf6d78545d97ab80874584f6990360e upstream.

There are some POWER9 machines where the OPAL firmware does not support
the OPAL_XIVE_GET_QUEUE_STATE and OPAL_XIVE_SET_QUEUE_STATE calls.
The impact of this is that a guest using XIVE natively will not be able
to be migrated successfully.  On the source side, the get_attr operation
on the KVM native device for the KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_EQ_CONFIG attribute
will fail; on the destination side, the set_attr operation for the same
attribute will fail.

This adds tests for the existence of the OPAL get/set queue state
functions, and if they are not supported, the XIVE-native KVM device
is not created and the KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE capability returns false.
Userspace can then either provide a software emulation of XIVE, or
else tell the guest that it does not have a XIVE controller available
to it.

There is no need for this function as all arches have to implement
kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() no matter what.  A #define symbol
let us actually simplify the code.

<content type='text'>
After commit d73eb57b80b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts), a
five years old bug is exposed. Running ebizzy benchmark in three 80 vCPUs VMs
on one 80 pCPUs Skylake server, a lot of rcu_sched stall warning splatting
in the VMs after stress testing:

 INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 4 41 57 62 77} (detected by 15, t=60004 jiffies, g=899, c=898, q=15073)
 Call Trace:

swait_active() sustains to be true before finish_swait() is called in
kvm_vcpu_block(), voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account
by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop greatly increases the probability condition
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable(vcpu) is checked and can be true, when APICv
is enabled the yield-candidate vCPU's VMCS RVI field leaks(by
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) into spinning-on-a-taken-lock vCPU's current
VMCS.

This patch fixes it by checking conservatively a subset of events.

<title>KVM: Directly return result from kvm_arch_check_processor_compat()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f257d6dcda0187693407e0c2e5dab69bdab3223f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f257d6dcda0187693407e0c2e5dab69bdab3223f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a wrapper to invoke kvm_arch_check_processor_compat() so that the
boilerplate ugliness of checking virtualization support on all CPUs is
hidden from the arch specific code.  x86's implementation in particular
is quite heinous, as it unnecessarily propagates the out-param pattern
into kvm_x86_ops.

While the x86 specific issue could be resolved solely by changing
kvm_x86_ops, make the change for all architectures as returning a value
directly is prettier and technically more robust, e.g. s390 doesn't set
the out param, which could lead to subtle breakage in the (highly
unlikely) scenario where the out-param was not pre-initialized by the
caller.

Opportunistically annotate svm_check_processor_compat() with __init.

<title>KVM: s390: Do not report unusabled IDs via KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID</title>
<updated>2019-05-28T13:52:19Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Thomas Huth</name>

<published>2019-05-23T16:43:08Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=a86cb413f4bf273a9d341a3ab2c2ca44e12eb317'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a86cb413f4bf273a9d341a3ab2c2ca44e12eb317</id>
<content type='text'>
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all
architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined
during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code
is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA
structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu()
function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard-
ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use.
Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too.
So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common
code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return
the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.
This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest.
With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

PPC KVM update for 5.2

* Support for guests to access the new POWER9 XIVE interrupt controller
  hardware directly, reducing interrupt latency and overhead for guests.

* In-kernel implementation of the H_PAGE_INIT hypercall.

* Reduce memory usage of sparsely-populated IOMMU tables.

* Several bug fixes.

Second PPC KVM update for 5.2

* Fix a bug, fix a spelling mistake, remove some useless code.

Full support for the XIVE native exploitation mode is now available,
advertise the capability KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE for guests running on
PowerNV KVM Hypervisors only. Support for nested guests (pseries KVM
Hypervisor) is not yet available. XIVE should also have been activated
which is default setting on POWER9 systems running a recent Linux
kernel.

The user interface exposes a new capability KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE to
let QEMU connect the vCPU presenters to the XIVE KVM device if
required. The capability is not advertised for now as the full support
for the XIVE native exploitation mode is not yet available. When this
is case, the capability will be advertised on PowerNV Hypervisors
only. Nested guests (pseries KVM Hypervisor) are not supported.

Internally, the interface to the new KVM device is protected with a
new interrupt mode: KVMPPC_IRQ_XIVE.
