Hello,
With permission from Reiji Watanabe <reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx>, the original
author of the series, I'm posting the v5 with necessary alterations.
The goal of this series is to allow userspace to limit the number
of PMU event counters on the vCPU. We need this to support migration
across systems that implement different numbers of counters.
The number of PMU event counters is indicated in PMCR_EL0.N.
For a vCPU with PMUv3 configured, its value will be the same as
the current PE by default. Userspace can set PMCR_EL0.N for the
vCPU to any value even with the current KVM using KVM_SET_ONE_REG.
However, it is practically unsupported, as KVM resets PMCR_EL0.N
to the host value on vCPU reset and some KVM code uses the host
value to identify (un)implemented event counters on the vCPU.
This series will ensure that the PMCR_EL0.N value is preserved
on vCPU reset and that KVM doesn't use the host value
to identify (un)implemented event counters on the vCPU.
This allows userspace to limit the number of the PMU event
counters on the vCPU.
The series is based on v6.5-rc6.
Patch 1 adds a helper to set a PMU for the guest. This helper will
make it easier for the following patches to add modify codes
for that process.
Patch 2 makes the default PMU for the guest set on the first
vCPU reset.
Patch 3 fixes reset_pmu_reg() to ensure that (RAZ) bits of
PMCNTEN{SET,CLR}_EL0, PMINTEN{SET,CLR}_EL1, and
PMOVS{SET,CLR}_EL1 corresponding to unimplemented event
counters on the vCPU are reset to zero.
Patch 4 is a minor refactoring to use the default PMU register reset
function for PMUSERENR_EL0 and PMCCFILTR_EL0.
Patch 5 simplifies the existing code that extracts PMCR_EL0.N by
using FIELD_GET().
Patch 6 adds a helper to read vCPU's PMCR_EL0.
Patch 7 changes the code to use the guest's PMCR_EL0.N, instead
of the PE's PMCR_EL0.N.
Patch 8 adds support userspace modifying PMCR_EL0.N.
Patch 9-12 adds a selftest to verify reading and writing PMU registers
for implemented or unimplemented PMU event counters on the vCPU.
v5:
- Drop the patches (v4 3,4) related to PMU version fixes as it's
now being handled in a separate series [1].
- Switch to config_lock, instead of kvm->lock, while configuring
the guest PMU.
- Instead of continuing after a WARN_ON() for the return value of
kvm_arm_set_vm_pmu() in kvm_arm_pmu_v3_set_pmu(), patch-1 now
returns from the function immediately with the error code.
- Fix WARN_ON() logic in kvm_host_pmu_init() (patch v4 9/14).
- Instead of returning 0, return -ENODEV from the
kvm_arm_set_vm_pmu() stub function.
- Do not define the PMEVN_CASE() and PMEVN_SWITCH() macros in
the selftest code as they are now included in the imported
arm_pmuv3.h header.
- Since the (initial) purpose of the selftest is to test the
accessibility of the counter registers, remove the functional
test at the end of test_access_pmc_regs(). It'll be added
later in a separate series.
- Introduce additional helper functions (destroy_vpmu_vm(),
PMC_ACC_TO_IDX()) in the selftest for ease of maintenance
and debugging.
v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230211031506.4159098-1-reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Fix the selftest bug in patch 13 (Have test_access_pmc_regs() to
specify pmc index for test_bitmap_pmu_regs() instead of bit-shifted
value (Thank you Raghavendra for the reporting the issue!).
v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230203040242.1792453-1-reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Remove reset_pmu_reg(), and use reset_val() instead. [Marc]
- Fixed the initial value of PMCR_EL0.N on heterogeneous
PMU systems. [Oliver]
- Fixed PMUVer issues on heterogeneous PMU systems.
- Fixed typos [Shaoqin]
v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230117013542.371944-1-reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Added the sys_reg's set_user() handler for the PMCR_EL0 to
disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N for the vCPU to a value
that is greater than the host value (and added a new test
case for this behavior). [Oliver]
- Added to the commit log of the patch 2 that PMUSERENR_EL0 and
PMCCFILTR_EL0 have UNKNOWN reset values.
v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221230035928.3423990-1-reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx/
Thank you.
