KVM: x86: Control guest reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO

2018-09-19T22:51:46Z

Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO. Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated). This existing interface could be confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

kvm: nVMX: Introduce KVM_CAP_NESTED_STATE

2018-08-06T15:58:30Z

For nested virtualization L0 KVM is managing a bit of state for L2 guests, this state can not be captured through the currently available IOCTLs. In fact the state captured through all of these IOCTLs is usually a mix of L1 and L2 state. It is also dependent on whether the L2 guest was running at the moment when the process was interrupted to save its state. With this capability, there are two new vcpu ioctls: KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. These can be used for saving and restoring a VM that is in VMX operation.

KVM: s390: Add huge page enablement control

2018-07-30T21:13:38Z

General KVM huge page support on s390 has to be enabled via the kvm.hpage module parameter. Either nested or hpage can be enabled, as we currently do not support vSIE for huge backed guests. Once the vSIE support is added we will either drop the parameter or enable it as default. For a guest the feature has to be enabled through the new KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M capability and the hpage module parameter. Enabling it means that cmm can't be enabled for the vm and disables pfmf and storage key interpretation. This is due to the fact that in some cases, in upcoming patches, we have to split huge pages in the guest mapping to be able to set more granular memory protection on 4k pages. These split pages have fake page tables that are not visible to the Linux memory management which subsequently will not manage its PGSTEs, while the SIE will. Disabling these features lets us manage PGSTE data in a consistent matter and solve that problem. Signed-off-by: Janosch Frank Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand

arm64: KVM: export the capability to set guest SError syndrome

2018-07-21T15:02:31Z

For the arm64 RAS Extension, user space can inject a virtual-SError with specified ESR. So user space needs to know whether KVM support to inject such SError, this interface adds this query for this capability. KVM will check whether system support RAS Extension, if supported, KVM returns true to user space, otherwise returns false.

kvm: fix typo in flag name

2018-06-12T13:06:35Z

KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HTL really refers to exit on halt. Obviously a typo: should be named KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT. Fixes: caa057a2cad ("KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable HLT intercepts") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: hyperv: declare KVM_CAP_HYPERV_TLBFLUSH capability

We need a new capability to indicate support for the newly added HvFlushVirtualAddress{List,Space}{,Ex} hypercalls. Upon seeing this capability, userspace is supposed to announce PV TLB flush features by setting the appropriate CPUID bits (if needed). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář

KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable MWAIT intercepts

2018-03-16T21:03:51Z

Allowing a guest to execute MWAIT without interception enables a guest to put a (physical) CPU into a power saving state, where it takes longer to return from than what may be desired by the host. Don't give a guest that power over a host by default. (Especially, since nothing prevents a guest from using MWAIT even when it is not advertised via CPUID.)
