We prepare the interception of the PQAP/AQIC instruction for

We add a callback inside the KVM arch structure for s390 for
a VFIO driver to handle a specific response to the PQAP
instruction with the AQIC command.
We inject the correct exceptions from inside KVM for the case the
callback is not initialized, which happens when the vfio_ap driver
is not loaded.
If the callback has been setup we call it.
If not we setup an answer considering that no queue is available
for the guest when no callback has been setup.
We do consider the responsability of the driver to always initialize
the PQAP callback if it defines queues by initializing the CRYCB for
a guest.

How can the guest even execute an AP instruction if the AP instructions
are not available? If the AP instructions are not available on the host,
they will not be available on the guest (i.e., CPU model feature
S390_FEAT_AP will not be set). I suppose it doesn't hurt to check this
here given QEMU may not be the only client.

You must have missed my suggestion to move this to the
vcpu->kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook(vcpu) in the following responses:
Please consider what happen if the vfio_ap module is not loaded.
I have considered it and even verified my expectations empirically. If
the vfio_ap module is not loaded, you will not be able to create an mdev device.
OK, now please consider that another userland tool, not QEMU uses KVM.
What does that have to do with loading the vfio_ap module? Without the
vfio_ap module, there will be no AP devices for the guest. What are you
suggesting here?
If you don't have an mdev device, you will not be able to
start a guest with a vfio-ap device. If you start a guest without a
vfio-ap device, but enable AP instructions for the guest, there will be
no AP devices attached to the guest. Without any AP devices attached,
the PQAP(AQIC) instructions will not ever get executed.
This is not right. The instruction will be executed, eventually, after decoding.
Please explain why the PQAP(AQIC) instruction will be executed on a
guest without any devices? Point me to the code in the AP bus where
PQAP(AQIC) is executed without a queue?
The host must be prepared to handle malicous and broken guests. So if
a guest does PQAP, we must handle that gracefully (e.g. by injecting an
exception)
Even if for some
unknown reason the PQAP(AQIC) instruction is executed - for some unknown
reason, it will fail with response code 0x01, AP-queue number not valid.
No, before accessing the AP-queue the instruction will be decoded and depending on the installed micro-code it will fail with
- OPERATION EXCEPTION if the micro-code is not installed
- PRIVILEDGE OPERATION if the instruction is issued from userland (programm state)
- SPECIFICATION exception if the instruction do not respect the usage specification
then it will be interpreted by the microcode and access the queue and only then it will fail with RC 0x01, AP queue not valid.
In the case of KVM, we intercept the instruction because it is issued by the guest and we set the AQIC facility on to force interception.
KVM do for us all the decode steps I mention here above, if there is or not a pqap hook to be call to simulate the QP queue access.
That done, the AP queue virtualisation can be called, this is done by calling the hook.
Okay, let's go back to the genesis of this discussion; namely, my
suggestion about moving the fc == 0x03 check into the hook code. If
the vfio_ap module is not loaded, there will be no hook code. In that
case, the check for the hook will fail and ultimately response code
0x01 will be set in the status word (which may not be the right thing
to do?). You have not stated a single good reason for keeping this
check, but I'm done with this silly argument. It certainly doesn't
hurt anything.
The instruction handler must handle the basic checks for the
instruction itself as outlined above.
Do we want to allow QEMU to fully emulate everything (the ECA_APIE case being off)?
The we should pass along everything to QEMU, but this is already done with the
ECA_APIE check, correct?
Do we agree that when we are beyond the ECA_APIE check, that we do not emulate
in QEMU and we have enabled the AP instructions interpretion?
If yes then this has some implication:
1. ECA is on and we should only get PQAP interception for specific FC (namely 3).
2. What we certainly should check is the facility bit of the guest (65) and reject fc==3
right away with a specification exception. I do not want the hook to mess with
the kvm cpu model. @Pierre would be good to actually check test_kvm_facility(vcpu->kvm, 65))
Currently the check test_kvm_facility(vcpu->kvm, 65) is done in the
instruction handler, what do you mean here?

Pierre
