Change History: v4 (v6.0-rc3): 05 - added nmi_l1_to_l2 check (Review comment from Maciej). v3 (rebased on eb555cb5b794f): https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220810061226.1286-1-santosh.shukla@xxxxxxx/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220709134230.2397-7-santosh.shukla@xxxxxxx/T/#m4bf8a131748688fed00ab0fefdcac209a169e202 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220602142620.3196-1-santosh.shukla@xxxxxxx/ Description: Currently, NMI is delivered to the guest using the Event Injection mechanism [1]. The Event Injection mechanism does not block the delivery of subsequent NMIs. So the Hypervisor needs to track the NMI delivery and its completion(by intercepting IRET) before sending a new NMI. Virtual NMI (VNMI) allows the hypervisor to inject the NMI into the guest w/o using Event Injection mechanism meaning not required to track the guest NMI and intercepting the IRET. To achieve that, VNMI feature provides virtualized NMI and NMI_MASK capability bits in VMCB intr_control - V_NMI(11) - Indicates whether a virtual NMI is pending in the guest. V_NMI_MASK(12) - Indicates whether virtual NMI is masked in the guest. V_NMI_ENABLE(26) - Enables the NMI virtualization feature for the guest. When Hypervisor wants to inject NMI, it will set V_NMI bit, Processor will clear the V_NMI bit and Set the V_NMI_MASK which means the Guest is handling NMI, After the guest handled the NMI, The processor will clear the V_NMI_MASK on the successful completion of IRET instruction Or if VMEXIT occurs while delivering the virtual NMI. If NMI virtualization enabled and NMI_INTERCEPT bit is unset then HW will exit with #INVALID exit reason. To enable the VNMI capability, Hypervisor need to program V_NMI_ENABLE bit 1. The presence of this feature is indicated via the CPUID function 0x8000000A_EDX[25]. Testing - * Used qemu's `inject_nmi` for testing. * tested with and w/o AVIC case. * tested with kvm-unit-test * tested with vGIF enable and disable. * tested nested env: - L1+L2 using vnmi - L1 using vnmi and L2 not Thanks, Santosh [1] https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/40332.pdf - APM Vol2, ch-15.20 - "Event Injection".
