KVM does not deliver x2APIC broadcast messages with physical mode. Intel SDM
(10.12.9 ICR Operation in x2APIC Mode) states: "A destination ID value of
FFFF_FFFFH is used for broadcast of interrupts in both logical destination and
physical destination modes."
In addition, the local-apic enables cluster mode broadcast. As Intel SDM
10.6.2.2 says: "Broadcast to all local APICs is achieved by setting all
destination bits to one." This patch enables cluster mode broadcast.
The fix tries to combine broadcast in different modes through a unified code.
One rare case occurs when the source of IPI has its APIC disabled. In such
case, the source can still issue IPIs, but since the source is not obliged to
have the same LAPIC mode as the enabled ones, we cannot rely on it.
Since it is a rare case, it is unoptimized and done on the slow-path.

The third parameter of kvm_unpin_pages() when called from
kvm_iommu_map_pages() is wrong, it should be the number of pages to un-pin
and not the page size.
This error was facilitated with an inconsistent API: kvm_pin_pages() takes
a size, but kvn_unpin_pages() takes a number of pages, so fix the problem
by matching the two.
This was introduced by commit 350b8bd ("kvm: iommu: fix the third parameter
of kvm_iommu_put_pages (CVE-2014-3601)"), which fixes the lack of
un-pinning for pages intended to be un-pinned (i.e. memory leak) but
unfortunately potentially aggravated the number of pages we un-pin that
should have stayed pinned. As far as I understand though, the same
practical mitigations apply.
This issue was found during review of Red Hat 6.6 patches to prepare
Ksplice rebootless updates.

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.
If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

As it stands, nothing prevents userspace from injecting an interrupt
before the guest's GIC is actually initialized.
This goes unnoticed so far (as everything is pretty much statically
allocated), but ends up exploding in a spectacular way once we switch
to a more dynamic allocation (the GIC data structure isn't there yet).
The fix is to test for the "ready" flag in the VGIC distributor before
trying to inject the interrupt. Note that in order to avoid breaking

Writes to GICD_ISPENDR0 and GICD_ICPENDR0 ignore all settings of the

correctly.
Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>
Writes to GICD_ISPENDRn and GICD_ICPENDRn are currently not handled
correctly for level-triggered interrupts. The spec states that for
level-triggered interrupts, writes to the GICD_ISPENDRn activate the
output of a flip-flop which is in turn or'ed with the actual input
interrupt signal. Correspondingly, writes to GICD_ICPENDRn simply
deactivates the output of that flip-flop, but does not (of course) affect
the external input signal. Reads from GICC_IAR will also deactivate the
flip-flop output.
This requires us to track the state of the level-input separately from
the state in the flip-flop. We therefore introduce two new variables on
the distributor struct to track these two states. Astute readers may
notice that this is introducing more state than required (because an OR
of the two states gives you the pending state), but the remaining vgic
code uses the pending bitmap for optimized operations to figure out, at
the end of the day, if an interrupt is pending or not on the distributor
side. Refactoring the code to consider the two state variables all the
places where we currently access the precomputed pending value, did not
look pretty.

If we unqueue a level-triggered interrupt completely, and the LR does
not stick around in the active state (and will therefore no longer
generate a maintenance interrupt), then we should clear the queued flag
so that the vgic can actually queue this level-triggered interrupt at a
later time and deal with its pending state then.
Note: This should actually be properly fixed to handle the active state
on the distributor.

We have a special bitmap on the distributor struct to keep track of when

named irq_active, which is confusing, because the active state of an

related to edge-triggered/level-triggered configurations but rather
indicates an interrupt which has been ack'ed but not yet eoi'ed.

The irq_state field on the distributor struct is ambiguous in its

Currently, we call ioapic_service() immediately when we find the irq is still
active during eoi broadcast. But for real hardware, there's some delay between
the EOI writing and irq delivery. If we do not emulate this behavior, and
re-inject the interrupt immediately after the guest sends an EOI and re-enables
interrupts, a guest might spend all its time in the ISR if it has a broken
handler for a level-triggered interrupt.
Such livelock actually happens with Windows guests when resuming from
hibernation.
As there's no way to recognize the broken handle from new raised ones, this patch
delays an interrupt if 10.000 consecutive EOIs found that the interrupt was
still high. The guest can then make a little forward progress, until a proper
IRQ handler is set or until some detection routine in the guest (such as
Linux's note_interrupt()) recognizes the situation.

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.
If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.
We can prevent the following case:
vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1)
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------
1 vm exit |
2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
3 decide to cache something based on |
old memslots |
4 | change memslots
| (increments generation)
5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
6 retrieve generation # from new memslots |
7 tag cache with new memslot generation |
8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
... |
<action based on cache occurs even |
though the caching decision was based |
on the old memslots> |
... |
<action *continues* to occur until next |
memslot generation change, which may |
be never> |
|
By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).
Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.
To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.
