Disambiguate Xen vs. Hyper-V calls by adding 'orl $0x80000000, %eax'
at the start of the Hyper-V hypercall page when Xen hypercalls are
also enabled.
That bit is reserved in the Hyper-V ABI, and those hypercall numbers
will never be used by Xen (because it does precisely the same trick).
Switch to using kvm_vcpu_write_guest() while we're at it, instead of

Add a new exit reason for emulator to handle Xen hypercalls.
Since this means KVM owns the ABI, dispense with the facility for the

directly using VMCALL/VMMCALL as we do for the Hyper-V hypercall page.
This behaviour is enabled by a new INTERCEPT_HCALL flag in the
KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl structure, and advertised by the same flag
being returned from the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM check.

Xen usually places its MSR at 0x40000000 or 0x40000200 depending on
whether it is running in viridian mode or not. Note that this is not
ABI guaranteed, so it is possible for Xen to advertise the MSR some
place else.
Given the way xen_hvm_config() is handled, if the former address is
selected, this will conflict with Hyper-V's MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_OS_ID) which unconditionally uses the same address.
Given that the MSR location is arbitrary, move the xen_hvm_config()
handling to the top of kvm_set_msr_common() before falling through.

In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in
the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table
memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure
threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory
with RCU.
Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free
bugs could also have been acomplished using
walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES,
coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case
has several distinct advantages over that approach.
1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable.
Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate
without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations
are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration.
2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in
perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous
RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when
overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end().
3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the
paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be
scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the
thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages
does.

Using a guest workload which simply issues 'hlt' in a tight loop to
generate VMEXITs, it was observed (on a recent EPYC processor) that a
significant amount of the VMEXIT overhead measured on the host was the
result of MSR reads/writes in svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put according to
perf:
67.49%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--23.13%--vcpu_put
| kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| |
| |--21.31%--native_write_msr
| |
| --1.27%--svm_set_cr4
|
|--16.11%--vcpu_load
| |
| --15.58%--kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--13.97%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | |--12.64%--native_read_msr
Most of these MSRs relate to 'syscall'/'sysenter' and segment bases, and
can be saved/restored using 'vmsave'/'vmload' instructions rather than
explicit MSR reads/writes. In doing so there is a significant reduction
in the svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put overhead measured for the above
workload:
50.92%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--19.28%--disable_nmi_singlestep
|
|--13.68%--vcpu_load
| kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--9.19%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | --6.44%--native_read_msr
| |
| --3.55%--native_write_msr
|
|--6.05%--kvm_inject_nmi
|--2.80%--kvm_sev_es_mmio_read
|--2.19%--vcpu_put
| |
| --1.25%--kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| native_write_msr
Quantifying this further, if we look at the raw cycle counts for a
normal iteration of the above workload (according to 'rdtscp'),
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() takes ~4600 cycles from start to finish with
the current behavior. Using 'vmsave'/'vmload', this is reduced to
~2800 cycles, a savings of 39%.
While this approach doesn't seem to manifest in any noticeable
improvement for more realistic workloads like UnixBench, netperf, and
kernel builds, likely due to their exit paths generally involving IO
with comparatively high latencies, it does improve overall overhead
of KVM_RUN significantly, which may still be noticeable for certain
situations. It also simplifies some aspects of the code.
With this change, explicit save/restore is no longer needed for the
following host MSRs, since they are documented[1] as being part of the
VMCB State Save Area:
MSR_STAR, MSR_LSTAR, MSR_CSTAR,
MSR_SYSCALL_MASK, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP,
MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE
and only the following MSR needs individual handling in
svm_vcpu_put/svm_vcpu_load:
MSR_TSC_AUX
We could drop the host_save_user_msrs array/loop and instead handle
MSR read/write of MSR_TSC_AUX directly, but we leave that for now as
a potential follow-up.
Since 'vmsave'/'vmload' also handles the LDTR and FS/GS segment
registers (and associated hidden state)[2], some of the code
previously used to handle this is no longer needed, so we drop it
as well.
The first public release of the SVM spec[3] also documents the same
handling for the host state in question, so we make these changes
unconditionally.
Also worth noting is that we 'vmsave' to the same page that is
subsequently used by 'vmrun' to record some host additional state. This
is okay, since, in accordance with the spec[2], the additional state
written to the page by 'vmrun' does not overwrite any fields written by
'vmsave'. This has also been confirmed through testing (for the above
CPU, at least).

better code as it eliminates the in-line JMP+CALL sequences that are

Using SVM specific macros also drops the last user of __ex() and the
the last asm linkage to kvm_spurious_fault(), and adds a helper for

instructions), and mark memory as clobbered since VMXOFF must not be
reordered and also may have memory side effects (though the kernel
really shouldn't be accessing the root VMCS anyways).
Practically speaking, adding the clobbers is most likely a nop; the
primary motivation is to properly document VMXOFF's behavior.
For the flags clobber, both Clang and GCC automatically mark flags as
clobbered; this is noted in commit 4b1e54786e ("KVM/x86: Use assembly
instruction mnemonics instead of .byte streams"), which intentionally
removed the previous clobber. But, neither Clang nor GCC documents
this behavior, and there's no downside to including the clobber.
For the memory clobber, the RFLAGS.IF and CR4.VMXE manipulations that
immediately follow VMXOFF have compiler barriers of their own, i.e.
VMXOFF can't get reordered after clearing CR4.VMXE, which is really
what's of interest.

Force all CPUs to do VMXOFF (via NMI shootdown) during an emergency
reboot if VMX is _supported_, as VMX being off on the current CPU does
not prevent other CPUs from being in VMX root (post-VMXON). This fixes
a bug where a crash/panic reboot could leave other CPUs in VMX root and
prevent them from being woken via INIT-SIPI-SIPI in the new kernel.

Silently ignore all faults on VMXOFF in the reboot flows as such faults
are all but guaranteed to be due to the CPU not being in VMX root.
Because (a) VMXOFF may be executed in NMI context, e.g. after VMXOFF but
before CR4.VMXE is cleared, (b) there's no way to query the CPU's VMX
state without faulting, and (c) the whole point is to get out of VMX
root, eating faults is the simplest way to achieve the desired behaior.
Technically, VMXOFF can fault (or fail) for other reasons, but all other
fault and failure scenarios are mode related, i.e. the kernel would have
to magically end up in RM, V86, compat mode, at CPL>0, or running with
the SMI Transfer Monitor active. The kernel is beyond hosed if any of
those scenarios are encountered; trying to do something fancy in the
error path to handle them cleanly is pointless.

Convert kvm_x86_ops to use static calls. Note that all kvm_x86_ops are
covered here except for 'pmu_ops and 'nested ops'.
Here are some numbers running cpuid in a loop of 1 million calls averaged
over 5 runs, measured in the vm (lower is better).
Intel Xeon 3000MHz:
|default |mitigations=off
-------------------------------------
vanilla |.671s |.486s

AMD EPYC 2500MHz:

Use static calls to improve kvm_x86_ops performance. Introduce the
definitions that will be used by a subsequent patch to actualize the
savings. Add a new kvm-x86-ops.h header that can be used for the
definition of static calls. This header is also intended to be
used to simplify the defition of svm_kvm_ops and vmx_x86_ops.
Note that all functions in kvm_x86_ops are covered here except for
'pmu_ops' and 'nested ops'. I think they can be covered by static
calls in a simlilar manner, but were omitted from this series to
reduce scope and because I don't think they have as large of a
performance impact.

A subsequent patch introduces macros in preparation for simplifying the
definition for vmx_x86_ops and svm_x86_ops. Making the naming more uniform
expands the coverage of the macros. Add vmx/svm prefix to the following
functions: update_exception_bitmap(), enable_nmi_window(),
enable_irq_window(), update_cr8_intercept and enable_smi_window().
