[PATCH v2 00/49] KVM: x86: CPUID overhaul, fixes, and caching

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

 



This is technically v2 of "Replace governed features with guest cpu_caps",
but it obviously snowballed just a bit.  This series wanders all over the
place, and ideally would be 3-4 distinct series, but there are interactions
and dependencies all over the place.

The super short TL;DR: snapshot all X86_FEATURE_* flags that KVM cares
about so that all queries against guest capabilities are "fast", e.g. don't
require manual enabling or judgment calls as to where a feature needs to be
fast.

The guest_cpu_cap_* nomenclature follows the existing kvm_cpu_cap_*
except for a few (maybe just one?) cases where guest cpu_caps need APIs
that kvm_cpu_caps don't.  In theory, the similar names will make this
approach more intuitive.

Maxim's suggestion to incorporate KVM's capabilities into the guest's cpu_caps
grew on me, to the point where I decided to just go for it.  Through macro
shenanigans (see the last DO NOT APPLY patch) and manually verifying that
vcpu->arch.cpu_caps is always a superset of guest CPUID, I was able to gain
sufficient confidence that KVM won't silently change guest behavior.  Many, but
not all, of the new patches are related in some way to that approach.
 
There are *multiple* potentially breaking changes in this series (in for a
penny, in for a pound).  However, I don't expect any fallout for real world
VMMs because the ABI changes either disallow things that couldn't possibly
have worked in the first place, or are following in the footsteps of other
behaviors, e.g. KVM advertises x2APIC, which is 100% dependent on an in-kernel
local APIC.

 * Disallow stuffing CPUID-dependent guest CR4 features before setting guest
   CPUID.
 * Disallow KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS after vCPU creation
 * Reject disabling of MWAIT/HLT interception when not allowed
 * Advertise TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
 * Advertise HYPERVISOR in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID

Lastly, regarding the PoC DO NOT APPLY patch, I hope to turn that into an actual
patch in the future.  E.g. I think we can shove feature usage information into
a .note or something, and then do post-processing a la objtool during the build.

v2:
 - Collect a few reviews (though I dropped several due to the patches changing
   significantly).
 - Incorporate KVM's support into the vCPU's cpu_caps. [Maxim]
 - A massive pile of new patches.
