The memslot for a given gfn is looked up multiple times during page
fault handling. Avoid binary searching for it multiple times by caching
the most recently used slot. There is an existing VM-wide last_used_slot
but that does not work well for cases where vCPUs are accessing memory
in different slots (see performance data below).
Another benefit of caching the most recently use slot (versus looking
up the slot once and passing around a pointer) is speeding up memslot
lookups *across* faults and during spte prefetching.
To measure the performance of this change I ran dirty_log_perf_test with
64 vCPUs and 64 memslots and measured "Populate memory time" and
"Iteration 2 dirty memory time". Tests were ran with eptad=N to force
dirty logging to use fast_page_fault so its performance could be
measured.
Config | Metric | Before | After
---------- | ----------------------------- | ------ | ------
tdp_mmu=Y | Populate memory time | 6.76s | 5.47s
tdp_mmu=Y | Iteration 2 dirty memory time | 2.83s | 0.31s
tdp_mmu=N | Populate memory time | 20.4s | 18.7s
tdp_mmu=N | Iteration 2 dirty memory time | 2.65s | 0.30s
The "Iteration 2 dirty memory time" results are especially compelling
because they are equivalent to running the same test with a single
memslot. In other words, fast_page_fault performance no longer scales
with the number of memslots.

Make search_memslots unconditionally search all memslots and move the
last_used_slot logic up one level to __gfn_to_memslot. This is in
preparation for introducing a per-vCPU last_used_slot.
As part of this change convert existing callers of search_memslots to
__gfn_to_memslot to avoid making any functional changes.

lru_slot is used to keep track of the index of the most-recently used
memslot. The correct acronym would be "mru" but that is not a common
acronym. So call it last_used_slot which is a bit more obvious.

gfn_to_hva_cache is not thread-safe, so it is usually used only within
a vCPU (whose code is protected by vcpu->mutex). The Xen interface
implementation has such a cache in kvm->arch, but it is not really
used except to store the location of the shared info page. Replace
shinfo_set and shinfo_cache with just the value that is passed via
KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO; the only complication is that the
initialization value is not zero anymore and therefore kvm_xen_init_vm
needs to be introduced.

interfaces
Based on our observations, after any vm-exit associated with vPMU, there
are at least two or more perf interfaces to be called for guest counter
emulation, such as perf_event_{pause, read_value, period}(), and each one
will {lock, unlock} the same perf_event_ctx. The frequency of calls becomes
more severe when guest use counters in a multiplexed manner.
Holding a lock once and completing the KVM request operations in the perf
context would introduce a set of impractical new interfaces. So we can
further optimize the vPMU implementation by avoiding repeated calls to
these interfaces in the KVM context for at least one pattern:
After we call perf_event_pause() once, the event will be disabled and its
internal count will be reset to 0. So there is no need to pause it again
or read its value. Once the event is paused, event period will not be
updated until the next time it's resumed or reprogrammed. And there is
also no need to call perf_event_period twice for a non-running counter,
considering the perf_event for a running counter is never paused.
Based on this implementation, for the following common usage of
sampling 4 events using perf on a 4u8g guest:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
echo 25 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
echo 10000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
for i in `seq 1 1 10`
do
taskset -c 0 perf record \
-e cpu-cycles -e instructions -e branch-instructions -e cache-misses \
/root/br_instr a
done
the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from
37646.7 ns to 32929.3 ns (~1.14x speed up) on the Intel ICX server.
Also, in addition to collecting more samples, no loss of sampling
accuracy was observed compared to before the optimization.

Using rmap_get_first() and rmap_remove() for zapping a huge rmap list could be

Add a counter field into pte_list_desc, so as to simplify the add/remove/loop
logic. E.g., we don't need to loop over the array any more for most reasons.
This will make more sense after we've switched the array size to be larger
otherwise the counter will be a waste.
Initially I wanted to store a tail pointer at the head of the array list so we
don't need to traverse the list at least for pushing new ones (if without the
counter we traverse both the list and the array). However that'll need
slightly more change without a huge lot benefit, e.g., after we grow entry
numbers per array the list traversing is not so expensive.
So let's be simple but still try to get as much benefit as we can with just
these extra few lines of changes (not to mention the code looks easier too
without looping over arrays).
I used the same a test case to fork 500 child and recycle them ("./rmap_fork
500" [1]), this patch further speeds up the total fork time of about 4%, which
is a total of 33% of vanilla kernel:
Vanilla: 473.90 (+-5.93%)
3->15 slots: 366.10 (+-4.94%)
Add counter: 351.00 (+-3.70%)

Currently rmap array element only contains 3 entries. However for EPT=N there
could have a lot of guest pages that got tens of even hundreds of rmap entry.
A normal distribution of a 6G guest (even if idle) shows this with rmap count
statistics:
Rmap_Count: 0 1 2-3 4-7 8-15 16-31 32-63 64-127 128-255 256-511 512-1023
Level=4K: 3089171 49005 14016 1363 235 212 15 7 0 0 0
Level=2M: 5951 227 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Level=1G: 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
If we do some more fork some pages will grow even larger rmap counts.
This patch makes PTE_LIST_EXT bigger so it'll be more efficient for the general
use case of EPT=N as we do list reference less and the loops over PTE_LIST_EXT
will be slightly more efficient; but still not too large so less waste when
array not full.
It should not affecting EPT=Y since EPT normally only has zero or one rmap
entry for each page, so no array is even allocated.
With a test case to fork 500 child and recycle them ("./rmap_fork 500" [1]),
this patch speeds up fork time of about 29%.
Before: 473.90 (+-5.93%)
After: 366.10 (+-4.94%)

Avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}() notifications
that are unrelated to KVM. This is possible now that memslot updates are
blocked from range_start() to range_end(); that ensures that lock elision
happens in both or none, and therefore that mmu_notifier_count updates
(which must occur while holding mmu_lock for write) are always paired
across start->end.
Based on patches originally written by Ben Gardon.

We would like to avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}()
notifications that are unrelated to KVM. Because mmu_notifier_count
must be modified while holding mmu_lock for write, and must always
be paired across start->end to stay balanced, lock elision must
happen in both or none. Therefore, in preparation for this change,
this patch prevents memslot updates across range_start() and range_end().
Note, technically flag-only memslot updates could be allowed in parallel,
but stalling a memslot update for a relatively short amount of time is
not a scalability issue, and this is all more than complex enough.
A long note on the locking: a previous version of the patch used an rwsem
to block the memslot update while the MMU notifier run, but this resulted
in the following deadlock involving the pseudo-lock tagged as
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start".
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.12.0-rc3+ #6 Tainted: G OE
------------------------------------------------------
qemu-system-x86/3069 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff9c775ca0 (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end+0x5/0x190
but task is already holding lock:
ffffaff7410a9160 (&kvm->mmu_notifier_slots_lock){.+.+}-{3:3}, at: kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start+0x36d/0x4f0 [kvm]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
This corresponds to the following MMU notifier logic:
invalidate_range_start
take pseudo lock
down_read() (*)
release pseudo lock
invalidate_range_end
take pseudo lock (**)
up_read()
release pseudo lock
At point (*) we take the mmu_notifiers_slots_lock inside the pseudo lock;
at point (**) we take the pseudo lock inside the mmu_notifiers_slots_lock.
This could cause a deadlock (ignoring for a second that the pseudo lock
is not a lock):
- invalidate_range_start waits on down_read(), because the rwsem is
held by install_new_memslots
- install_new_memslots waits on down_write(), because the rwsem is
held till (another) invalidate_range_end finishes
- invalidate_range_end sits waits on the pseudo lock, held by
invalidate_range_start.
Removing the fairness of the rwsem breaks the cycle (in lockdep terms,
it would change the *shared* rwsem readers into *shared recursive*
readers), so open-code the wait using a readers count and a
spinlock. This also allows handling blockable and non-blockable
critical section in the same way.
Losing the rwsem fairness does theoretically allow MMU notifiers to
block install_new_memslots forever. Note that mm/mmu_notifier.c's own
retry scheme in mmu_interval_read_begin also uses wait/wake_up
and is likewise not fair.

For an event to be in injected state when nested_svm_vmrun executes,
it must have come from exitintinfo when svm_complete_interrupts ran:
vcpu_enter_guest
static_call(kvm_x86_run) -> svm_vcpu_run
svm_complete_interrupts
// now the event went from "exitintinfo" to "injected"
static_call(kvm_x86_handle_exit) -> handle_exit
svm_invoke_exit_handler
vmrun_interception
nested_svm_vmrun
However, no event could have been in exitintinfo before a VMRUN
vmexit. The code in svm.c is a bit more permissive than the one
in vmx.c:
if (is_external_interrupt(svm->vmcb->control.exit_int_info) &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_EXCP_BASE + PF_VECTOR &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NPF && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_TASK_SWITCH &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_INTR && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NMI)
but in any case, a VMRUN instruction would not even start to execute
during an attempted event delivery.

Preserve CR0.CD and CR0.NW on INIT instead of forcing them to '1', as
defined by both Intel's SDM and AMD's APM.
Note, current versions of Intel's SDM are very poorly written with
respect to INIT behavior. Table 9-1. "IA-32 and Intel 64 Processor
States Following Power-up, Reset, or INIT" quite clearly lists power-up,
RESET, _and_ INIT as setting CR0=60000010H, i.e. CD/NW=1. But the SDM
then attempts to qualify CD/NW behavior in a footnote:
2. The CD and NW flags are unchanged, bit 4 is set to 1, all other bits
are cleared.
Presumably that footnote is only meant for INIT, as the RESET case and
especially the power-up case are rather non-sensical. Another footnote
all but confirms that:
6. Internal caches are invalid after power-up and RESET, but left
unchanged with an INIT.
Bare metal testing shows that CD/NW are indeed preserved on INIT (someone
else can hack their BIOS to check RESET and power-up :-D).

Emulate a full #INIT instead of simply initializing the VMCB if the
guest hits a shutdown. Initializing the VMCB but not other vCPU state,
much of which is mirrored by the VMCB, results in incoherent and broken
vCPU state.
Ideally, KVM would not automatically init anything on shutdown, and
instead put the vCPU into e.g. KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED and force
userspace to explicitly INIT or RESET the vCPU. Even better would be to
add KVM_MP_STATE_SHUTDOWN, since technically NMI can break shutdown
(and SMI on Intel CPUs).
But, that ship has sailed, and emulating #INIT is the next best thing as
that has at least some connection with reality since there exist bare
metal platforms that automatically INIT the CPU if it hits shutdown.

Unconditionally refreshing the list is confusing, as the vast majority of

where an INIT during long mode obviates the need to load the SYSCALL MSRs,
and that is handled as needed by vmx_set_efer().

Skip the MMU permission_fault() check if paging is disabled when
verifying the cached MMIO GVA is usable. The check is unnecessary and
can theoretically get a false positive since the MMU doesn't zero out
"permissions" or "pkru_mask" when guest paging is disabled.
The obvious alternative is to zero out all the bitmasks when configuring
nonpaging MMUs, but that's unnecessary work and doesn't align with the
MMU's general approach of doing as little as possible for flows that are
supposed to be unreachable.
This is nearly a nop as the false positive is nothing more than an
insignificant performance blip, and more or less limited to string MMIO
when L1 is running with paging disabled. KVM doesn't cache MMIO if L2 is
active with nested TDP since the "GVA" is really an L2 GPA. If L2 is
active without nested TDP, then paging can't be disabled as neither VMX
nor SVM allows entering the guest without paging of some form.
Jumping back to L1 with paging disabled, in that case direct_map is true
and so KVM will use CR2 as a GPA; the only time it doesn't is if the
fault from the emulator doesn't match or emulator_can_use_gpa(), and that
fails only on string MMIO and other instructions with multiple memory
operands.

Tweak the logic for grabbing vmcs.GUEST_CR3 in vmx_cache_reg() to look
directly at the execution controls, as opposed to effectively inferring
the controls based on vCPUs. Inferring the controls isn't wrong, but it
creates a very subtle dependency between the caching logic, the state of
vcpu->arch.cr0 (via is_paging()), and the behavior of vmx_set_cr0().
Using the execution controls doesn't completely eliminate the dependency
in vmx_set_cr0(), e.g. neglecting to cache CR3 before enabling
interception would still break the guest, but it does reduce the
code dependency and mostly eliminate the logical dependency (that CR3
loads are intercepted in certain scenarios). Eliminating the subtle
read of vcpu->arch.cr0 will also allow for additional cleanup in
vmx_set_cr0().

Keep CR3 load/store exiting enable as needed when running L2 in order to
honor L1's desires. This fixes a largely theoretical bug where L1 could
intercept CR3 but not CR0.PG and end up not getting the desired CR3 exits
when L2 enables paging. In other words, the existing !is_paging() check
inadvertantly handles the normal case for L2 where vmx_set_cr0() is
called during VM-Enter, which is guaranteed to run with paging enabled,
and thus will never clear the bits.
Removing the !is_paging() check will also allow future consolidation and
cleanup of the related code. From a performance perspective, this is
all a nop, as the VMCS controls shadow will optimize away the VMWRITE
when the controls are in the desired state.
Add a comment explaining why CR3 is intercepted, with a big disclaimer
about not querying the old CR3. Because vmx_set_cr0() is used for flows
that are not directly tied to MOV CR3, e.g. vCPU RESET/INIT and nested
VM-Enter, it's possible that is_paging() is not synchronized with CR3
load/store exiting. This is actually guaranteed in the current code, as
KVM starts with CR3 interception disabled. Obviously that can be fixed,
but there's no good reason to play whack-a-mole, and it tends to end
poorly, e.g. descriptor table exiting for UMIP emulation attempted to be
precise in the past and ended up botching the interception toggling.

Remove a bogus write to vcpu->arch.cr0 that immediately precedes
vmx_set_cr0() during vCPU RESET/INIT. For RESET, this is a nop since
the "old" CR0 value is meaningless. But for INIT, if the vCPU is coming
from paging enabled mode, crushing vcpu->arch.cr0 will cause the various
is_paging() checks in vmx_set_cr0() to get false negatives.
For the exit_lmode() case, the false negative is benign as vmx_set_efer()
is called immediately after vmx_set_cr0().
For EPT without unrestricted guest, the false negative will cause KVM to
unnecessarily run with CR3 load/store exiting. But again, this is
benign, albeit sub-optimal.

Consolidate the APIC base RESET logic, which is currently spread out
across both x86 and vendor code. For an in-kernel APIC, the vendor code
is redundant. But for a userspace APIC, KVM relies on the vendor code
to initialize vcpu->arch.apic_base. Hoist the vcpu->arch.apic_base
initialization above the !apic check so that it applies to both flavors
of APIC emulation, and delete the vendor code.

Write vcpu->arch.apic_base directly instead of bouncing through
kvm_set_apic_base(). This is a glorified nop, and is a step towards
cleaning up the mess that is local APIC creation.
When using an in-kernel APIC, kvm_create_lapic() explicitly sets
vcpu->arch.apic_base to MSR_IA32_APICBASE_ENABLE to avoid its own
kvm_lapic_set_base() call in kvm_lapic_reset() from triggering state
changes. That call during RESET exists purely to set apic->base_address
to the default base value. As a result, by the time VMX gets control,
the only missing piece is the BSP bit being set for the reset BSP.
For a userspace APIC, there are no side effects to process (for the APIC).
In both cases, the call to kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() is a nop because
the vCPU hasn't yet been exposed to userspace, i.e. there can't be any
CPUID entries.
No functional change intended.

Don't set the BSP bit in vcpu->arch.apic_base when the local APIC is
managed by userspace. Forcing all vCPUs to be BSPs is non-sensical, and
was dead code when it was added by commit 97222cc83163 ("KVM: Emulate
local APIC in kernel"). At the time, kvm_lapic_set_base() was invoked
if and only if the local APIC was in-kernel (and it couldn't be called
before the vCPU created its APIC).
kvm_lapic_set_base() eventually gained generic usage, but the latent bug
escaped notice because the only true consumer would be the guest itself
in the form of an explicit RDMSRs on APs. Out of Linux, SeaBIOS, and
EDK2/OVMF, only OVMF consumes the BSP bit from the APIC_BASE MSR. For
the vast majority of usage in OVMF, BSP confusion would be benign.
OVMF's BSP election upon SMI rendezvous might be broken, but practically
no one runs KVM with an out-of-kernel local APIC, let alone does so while
utilizing SMIs with OVMF.

Make vcpu0 the arbitrary owner of the PIT, as was intended when PIT
migration was added by commit 2f5997140f22 ("KVM: migrate PIT timer").
The PIT was unintentionally turned into being owned by the BSP by commit
c5af89b68abb ("KVM: Introduce kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() function."), and was then
unintentionally converted to a shared ownership model when
kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() was modified to check the APIC base MSR instead of
hardcoding vcpu0 as the BSP.
Functionally, this just means the PIT's hrtimer is migrated less often.
The real motivation is to remove the usage of kvm_vcpu_is_bsp(), so that
more legacy/broken crud can be removed in a future patch.

Remove a BSP APIC update in kvm_lapic_reset() that is a glorified and
confusing nop. When the code was originally added, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp()
queried kvm->arch.bsp_vcpu, i.e. the intent was to set the BSP bit in the
BSP vCPU's APIC. But, stuffing the BSP bit at INIT was wrong since the
guest can change its BSP(s); this was fixed by commit 58d269d8cccc ("KVM:
x86: BSP in MSR_IA32_APICBASE is writable").
In other words, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() is now purely a reflection of
vcpu->arch.apic_base.MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BSP, thus the update will always
set the current value and kvm_lapic_set_base() is effectively a nop if
the new and old values match. The RESET case, which does need to stuff
the BSP for the reset vCPU, is handled by vendor code (though this will
soon be moved to common code).

Note, while there are multiple other direct calls to vmx_set_cr0(), i.e.
paths that change CR0 without invoking kvm_post_set_cr0(), only the INIT
emulation can reach enter_rmode(). CLTS emulation only toggles CR.TS,
VM-Exit (and late VM-Fail) emulation cannot architecturally transition to
Real Mode, and VM-Enter to Real Mode is possible if and only if
Unrestricted Guest is enabled (exposed to L1).
