[RESEND RFC v2 2/2] KVM: VMX: Enable bus lock VM exit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB)
memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is
typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache
line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for
the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete).

To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM
when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other
policy based mitigations.

A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock
Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM
execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a
higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC
access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of
exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1.

In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through
KVM_CAP_X86_BLD. The user can set it to enable the bus lock VM exit
(disabled by default). If bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit
to user space even when current exit reason is handled by KVM
internally. Set a new field KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags to
inform the user space that there is a bus lock in guest and it is
preempted by a higher priority VM exit.

Every bus lock acquired in non-root mode will be recorded in
vcpu->stat.bus_locks and exposed through debugfs when the bus lock
VM exit is enabled.

Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".
