[RFC PATCH v1 2/4] KVM: SVM: Enable Bus lock threshold exit

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

 



From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@xxxxxxx>

Malicious guests can cause bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Non-WB(write-back) and misaligned locked RMW(read-modify-write)
instructions are referred to as "bus locks" and require system wide
synchronization among all processors to guarantee atomicity.  Bus locks
may incur significant performance penalties for all processors in the
system.

The Bus Lock Threshold feature proves beneficial for hypervisors seeking
to restrict guests' ability to initiate numerous bus locks, thereby
preventing system slowdowns that affect all tenants.

Support for the buslock threshold is indicated via CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[29].

VMCB intercept bit
VMCB Offset	Bits	Function
14h	        5	Intercept bus lock operations
                        (occurs after guest instruction finishes)

Bus lock threshold
VMCB Offset	Bits	Function
120h	        15:0	Bus lock counter

Use the KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT to enable the feature.

When the bus lock threshold counter reaches to zero, KVM will exit to
user space by setting KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags in
bus_lock_exit handler, indicating that a bus lock has been detected in
the guest.

More details about the Bus Lock Threshold feature can be found in AMD
APM [1].

[Manali:
  - Added exit reason string for SVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK.
  - Moved enablement and disablement of bus lock intercept support.
    to svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid().
  - Massage commit message.
  - misc cleanups.
