2017-08-24KVM: MMU: Add 5 level EPT & Shadow page table support.Yu Zhang1-0/+2
Extends the shadow paging code, so that 5 level shadow page table can be constructed if VM is running in 5 level paging mode. Also extends the ept code, so that 5 level ept table can be constructed if maxphysaddr of VM exceeds 48 bits. Unlike the shadow logic, KVM should still use 4 level ept table for a VM whose physical address width is less than 48 bits, even when the VM is running in 5 level paging mode.

2017-04-07kvm: nVMX: support EPT accessed/dirty bitsPaolo Bonzini1-0/+2
Now use bit 6 of EPTP to optionally enable A/D bits for EPTP. Another thing to change is that, when EPT accessed and dirty bits are not in use, VMX treats accesses to guest paging structures as data reads. When they are in use (bit 6 of EPTP is set), they are treated as writes and the corresponding EPT dirty bit is set. The MMU didn't know this detail, so this patch adds it. We also have to fix up the exit qualification. It may be wrong because KVM sets bit 6 but the guest might not. L1 emulates EPT A/D bits using write permissions, so in principle it may be possible for EPT A/D bits to be used by L1 even though not available in hardware. The problem is that guest page-table walks will be treated as reads rather than writes, so they would not cause an EPT violation.

2017-01-09kvm: x86: mmu: Lockless access tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A bits.Junaid Shahid1-3/+6
This change implements lockless access tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A bits. This is achieved by marking the PTEs as not-present (but not completely clearing them) when clear_flush_young() is called after marking the pages as accessed. When an EPT Violation is generated as a result of the VM accessing those pages, the PTEs are restored to their original values.

2017-01-09kvm: x86: mmu: Do not use bit 63 for tracking special SPTEsJunaid Shahid1-2/+7
MMIO SPTEs currently set both bits 62 and 63 to distinguish them as special PTEs. However, bit 63 is used as the SVE bit in Intel EPT PTEs. The SVE bit is ignored for misconfigured PTEs but not necessarily for not-Present PTEs. Since MMIO SPTEs use an EPT misconfiguration, so using bit 63 for them is acceptable. However, the upcoming fast access tracking feature adds another type of special tracking PTE, which uses not-Present PTEs and hence should not set bit 63. In order to use common bits to distinguish both type of special PTEs, we now use only bit 62 as the special bit.

2016-12-08KVM: nVMX: support restore of VMX capability MSRsDavid Matlack1-0/+31
The VMX capability MSRs advertise the set of features the KVM virtual CPU can support. This set of features varies across different host CPUs and KVM versions. This patch aims to addresses both sources of differences, allowing VMs to be migrated across CPUs and KVM versions without guest-visible changes to these MSRs. Note that cross-KVM- version migration is only supported from this point forward. When the VMX capability MSRs are restored, they are audited to check that the set of features advertised are a subset of what KVM and the CPU support. Since the VMX capability MSRs are read-only, they do not need to be on the default MSR save/restore lists. The userspace hypervisor can set the values of these MSRs or read them from KVM at VCPU creation time, and restore the same value after every save/restore.

2013-08-07nEPT: Nested INVEPTNadav Har'El1-0/+2
If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction. In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted, which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each time EPTP02 changes.

2011-01-12KVM: VMX: add module parameter to avoid trapping HLT instructions (v5)Anthony Liguori1-0/+6
In certain use-cases, we want to allocate guests fixed time slices where idle guest cycles leave the machine idling. There are many approaches to achieve this but the most direct is to simply avoid trapping the HLT instruction which lets the guest directly execute the instruction putting the processor to sleep. Introduce this as a module-level option for kvm-vmx.ko since if you do this for one guest, you probably want to do it for all.
