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.

Unlike VMCALL, the instructions VMXOFF, VMLAUNCH and VMRESUME should cause a UD
exception in real-mode or vm86. However, the emulator considers all these
instructions the same for the matter of mode checks, and emulation upon exit
due to #UD exception.
As a result, the hypervisor behaves incorrectly on vm86 mode. VMXOFF, VMLAUNCH
or VMRESUME cause on vm86 exit due to #UD. The hypervisor then emulates these
instruction and inject #GP to the guest instead of #UD.
This patch creates a new group for these instructions and mark only VMCALL as
an instruction which can be emulated.

Store the target address for the gmap segments in a radix tree
instead of using invalid segment table entries. gmap_translate
becomes a simple radix_tree_lookup, gmap_fault is split into the
address translation with gmap_translate and the part that does
the linking of the gmap shadow page table with the process page
table.
A second radix tree is used to keep the pointers to the segment
table entries for segments that are mapped in the guest address
space. On unmap of a segment the pointer is retrieved from the
radix tree and is used to carry out the segment invalidation in
the gmap shadow page table. As the radix tree can only store one
pointer, each host segment may only be mapped to exactly one
guest location.

Window is increased on every PLE exit and decreased on every sched_in.
The idea is that we don't want to PLE exit if there is no preemption

We do this with sched_in() because it does not hold rq lock.
There are two new kernel parameters for changing the window:
ple_window_grow and ple_window_shrink
ple_window_grow affects the window on PLE exit and ple_window_shrink
does it on sched_in; depending on their value, the window is modifier
like this: (ple_window is kvm_intel's global)
ple_window_shrink/ |
ple_window_grow | PLE exit | sched_in
-------------------+--------------------+---------------------
< 1 | = ple_window | = ple_window
< ple_window | *= ple_window_grow | /= ple_window_shrink
otherwise | += ple_window_grow | -= ple_window_shrink
