[PATCH v4 0/8] KVM: x86: Add CMCI and UCNA emulation

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

 



This patch series implement emulation for Corrected Machine Check
Interrupt (CMCI) signaling and UnCorrectable No Action required (UCNA)
error injection.

UCNA errors signaled via CMCI allow a guest to be notified as soon as
uncorrectable memory errors get detected by some background threads,
e.g., threads that migrate guest memory across hosts or threads that
constantly scan system memory for errors [1].

Upon receiving UCNAs, guest kernel isolates the poisoned pages which may
still be free, preventing future accesses that may cause fatal MCEs.

Patch 1-3 clean up KVM APIC LVT logic in preparation to adding APIC_LVTCMCI.

Patch 4 adds CMCI emulation to lapic.

Patch 5 updates the allocation of mce_banks to use array allocation api.

Patch 6 adds emulation for MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2 registers that provide per
bank control of CMCI signaling.

Patch 7 enables MCG_CMCI_P by default and handles injected UCNA errors.

Patch 8 adds a KVM self test that exercises UCNA injection.

v4 changes
- Incorporate feedback from David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Rewrite the change logs to be more descriptive.
- Add a KVM self test.

v3 changes
- Incorporate feedback from Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Split clean up to KVM APIC LVT logic to 3 patches.
- Put the clean up of mce_array allocation in a separate patch.
- Base the MCi_CTL2 register emulation on Sean's clean up and fix
series [2]
- Fix bugs around MCi_CTL2 register offset validation and the free of
mci_ctl2_banks array.
- Rewrite the change log with more details in architectural information
about CMCI, UCNA and MCG_CMCI_P.
- Fix various comments and wrapping style.

v2 chanegs
- Incorporate feedback from Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Split the single patch into 4:
  1). clean up KVM APIC LVT logic
  2). add CMCI emulation to lapic
  3). add emulation of MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2
  4). enable MCG_CMCI_P and handle injected UCNAs
- Fix various style issues.
