Mark Rutland da5a3ce66b KVM: arm64: Fix caching of host MDCR_EL2 value
At boot time, KVM stashes the host MDCR_EL2 value, but only does this
when the kernel is not running in hyp mode (i.e. is non-VHE). In these
cases, the stashed value of MDCR_EL2.HPMN happens to be zero, which can
lead to CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.

Since we use this value to derive the MDCR_EL2 value when switching
to/from a guest, after a guest have been run, the performance counters
do not behave as expected. This has been observed to result in accesses
via PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMXEVCNTR_EL0 not affecting the relevant
counters, resulting in events not being counted. In these cases, only
the fixed-purpose cycle counter appears to work as expected.

Fix this by always stashing the host MDCR_EL2 value, regardless of VHE.

Suzuki K Poulose 0f62f0e95b kvm: arm64: Set a limit on the IPA size
So far we have restricted the IPA size of the VM to the default
value (40bits). Now that we can manage the IPA size per VM and
support dynamic stage2 page tables, we can allow VMs to have
larger IPA. This patch introduces a the maximum IPA size
supported on the host. This is decided by the following factors :

 1) Maximum PARange supported by the CPUs - This can be inferred
    from the system wide safe value.
 2) Maximum PA size supported by the host kernel (48 vs 52)
 3) Number of levels in the host page table (as we base our
    stage2 tables on the host table helpers).

Since the stage2 page table code is dependent on the stage1
page table, we always ensure that :

  Number of Levels at Stage1 >= Number of Levels at Stage2

So we limit the IPA to make sure that the above condition
is satisfied. This will affect the following combinations
of VA_BITS and IPA for different page sizes.

  Host configuration | Unsupported IPA ranges
  39bit VA, 4K       | [44, 48]
  36bit VA, 16K      | [41, 48]
  42bit VA, 64K      | [47, 52]

Supporting the above combinations need independent stage2
page table manipulation code, which would need substantial
changes. We could purse the solution independently and
switch the page table code once we have it ready.

Marc Orr d1e5b0e98e kvm: Make VM ioctl do valloc for some archs
The kvm struct has been bloating. For example, it's tens of kilo-bytes
for x86, which turns out to be a large amount of memory to allocate
contiguously via kzalloc. Thus, this patch does the following:
1. Uses architecture-specific routines to allocate the kvm struct via
   vzalloc for x86.
2. Switches arm to __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VM_ALLOC so that it can use vzalloc
   when has_vhe() is true.

Other architectures continue to default to kalloc, as they have a
dependency on kalloc or have a small-enough struct kvm.

Dave Martin 85acda3b4a KVM: arm64: Save host SVE context as appropriate
This patch adds SVE context saving to the hyp FPSIMD context switch
path.  This means that it is no longer necessary to save the host
SVE state in advance of entering the guest, when in use.

In order to avoid adding pointless complexity to the code, VHE is
assumed if SVE is in use.  VHE is an architectural prerequisite for
SVE, so there is no good reason to turn CONFIG_ARM64_VHE off in
kernels that support both SVE and KVM.

Historically, software models exist that can expose the
architecturally invalid configuration of SVE without VHE, so if
this situation is detected at kvm_init() time then KVM will be
disabled.

Dave Martin e6b673b741 KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD handling to reduce guest/host thrashing
This patch refactors KVM to align the host and guest FPSIMD
save/restore logic with each other for arm64.  This reduces the
number of redundant save/restore operations that must occur, and
reduces the common-case IRQ blackout time during guest exit storms
by saving the host state lazily and optimising away the need to
restore the host state before returning to the run loop.

Four hooks are defined in order to enable this:

 * kvm_arch_vcpu_run_map_fp():
   Called on PID change to map necessary bits of current to Hyp.

 * kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp():
   Set up FP/SIMD for entering the KVM run loop (parse as
   "vcpu_load fp").

 * kvm_arch_vcpu_ctxsync_fp():
   Get FP/SIMD into a safe state for re-enabling interrupts after a
   guest exit back to the run loop.

   For arm64 specifically, this involves updating the host kernel's
   FPSIMD context tracking metadata so that kernel-mode NEON use
   will cause the vcpu's FPSIMD state to be saved back correctly
   into the vcpu struct.  This must be done before re-enabling
   interrupts because kernel-mode NEON may be used by softirqs.

 * kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp():
   Save guest FP/SIMD state back to memory and dissociate from the
   CPU ("vcpu_put fp").

Also, the arm64 FPSIMD context switch code is updated to enable it
to save back FPSIMD state for a vcpu, not just current.  A few
helpers drive this:

 * fpsimd_bind_state_to_cpu(struct user_fpsimd_state *fp):
   mark this CPU as having context fp (which may belong to a vcpu)
   currently loaded in its registers.  This is the non-task
   equivalent of the static function fpsimd_bind_to_cpu() in
   fpsimd.c.

 * task_fpsimd_save():
   exported to allow KVM to save the guest's FPSIMD state back to
   memory on exit from the run loop.

 * fpsimd_flush_state():
   invalidate any context's FPSIMD state that is currently loaded.
   Used to disassociate the vcpu from the CPU regs on run loop exit.

These changes allow the run loop to enable interrupts (and thus
softirqs that may use kernel-mode NEON) without having to save the
guest's FPSIMD state eagerly.

Some new vcpu_arch fields are added to make all this work.  Because
host FPSIMD state can now be saved back directly into current's
thread_struct as appropriate, host_cpu_context is no longer used
for preserving the FPSIMD state.  However, it is still needed for
preserving other things such as the host's system registers.  To
avoid ABI churn, the redundant storage space in host_cpu_context is
not removed for now.

arch/arm is not addressed by this patch and continues to use its
current save/restore logic.  It could provide implementations of
the helpers later if desired.

part of the current generation. In order to avoid taking a lock,
we start with checking that the generation is still current, and
only if not current do we take the lock, recheck, and update the
generation and VMID.

This leaves open a small race: A vcpu can bump up the global
generation number as well as the VM's, but has not updated
the VMID itself yet.

At that point another vcpu from the same VM comes in, checks
the generation (and finds it not needing anything), and jumps
into the guest. At this point, we end-up with two vcpus belonging
to the same VM running with two different VMIDs. Eventually, the
VMID used by the second vcpu will get reassigned, and things will
really go wrong...

A simple solution would be to drop this initial check, and always take
the lock. This is likely to cause performance issues. A middle ground
is to convert the spinlock to a rwlock, and only take the read lock
on the fast path. If the check fails at that point, drop it and
acquire the write lock, rechecking the condition.

This ensures that the above scenario doesn't occur.
