* KVM: arm/arm64: Move timer IRQ map to latest possible timeChristoffer Dall2016-05-201-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are about to modify the VGIC to allocate all data structures dynamically and store mapped IRQ information on a per-IRQ struct, which is indeed allocated dynamically at init time. Therefore, we cannot record the mapped IRQ info from the timer at timer reset time like it's done now, because VCPU reset happens before timer init. A possible later time to do this is on the first run of a per VCPU, it just requires us to move the enable state to be a per-VCPU state and do the lookup of the physical IRQ number when we are about to run the VCPU.

* KVM: arm/arm64: arch_timer: Remove irq_phys_mapAndre Przywara2016-05-201-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the interface between the arch timer and the VGIC does not require passing the irq_phys_map entry pointer anymore, let's remove it from the virtual arch timer and use the virtual IRQ number instead directly. The remaining pointer returned by kvm_vgic_map_phys_irq() will be removed in the following patch.

* KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Add active state cachingMarc Zyngier2016-02-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Programming the active state in the (re)distributor can be an expensive operation so it makes some sense to try and reduce the number of accesses as much as possible. So far, we program the active state on each VM entry, but there is some opportunity to do less. An obvious solution is to cache the active state in memory, and only program it in the HW when conditions change. But because the HW can also change things under our feet (the active state can transition from 1 to 0 when the guest does an EOI), some precautions have to be taken, which amount to only caching an "inactive" state, and always programing it otherwise. With this in place, we observe a reduction of around 700 cycles on a 2GHz GICv2 platform for a NULL hypercall.

* arm/arm64: KVM: Rework the arch timer to use level-triggered semanticsChristoffer Dall2015-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arch timer currently uses edge-triggered semantics in the sense that the line is never sampled by the vgic and lowering the line from the timer to the vgic doesn't have any effect on the pending state of virtual interrupts in the vgic. This means that we do not support a guest with the otherwise valid behavior of (1) disable interrupts (2) enable the timer (3) disable the timer (4) enable interrupts. Such a guest would validly not expect to see any interrupts on real hardware, but will see interrupts on KVM. This patch fixes this shortcoming through the following series of changes. First, we change the flow of the timer/vgic sync/flush operations. Now the timer is always flushed/synced before the vgic, because the vgic samples the state of the timer output. This has the implication that we move the timer operations in to non-preempible sections, but that is fine after the previous commit getting rid of hrtimer schedules on every entry/exit. Second, we change the internal behavior of the timer, letting the timer keep track of its previous output state, and only lower/raise the line to the vgic when the state changes. Note that in theory this could have been accomplished more simply by signalling the vgic every time the state *potentially* changed, but we don't want to be hitting the vgic more often than necessary. Third, we get rid of the use of the map->active field in the vgic and instead simply set the interrupt as active on the physical distributor whenever the input to the GIC is asserted and conversely clear the physical active state when the input to the GIC is deasserted. Fourth, and finally, we now initialize the timer PPIs (and all the other unused PPIs for now), to be level-triggered, and modify the sync code to sample the line state on HW sync and re-inject a new interrupt if it is still pending at that time.

* arm/arm64: KVM: arch_timer: Only schedule soft timer on vcpu_blockChristoffer Dall2015-10-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to kick the vcpu. Kicking the vcpu does two things: (1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it from the waitqueue. (2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI. The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block(). Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls. Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and unmasked, since it is useless otherwise. Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

* KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Allow the timer to control the active stateMarc Zyngier2015-08-121-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | In order to remove the crude hack where we sneak the masked bit into the timer's control register, make use of the phys_irq_map API control the active state of the interrupt.

* arm/arm64: KVM: Fix migration race in the arch timerChristoffer Dall2015-03-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a VCPU is no longer running, we currently check to see if it has a timer scheduled in the future, and if it does, we schedule a host hrtimer to notify is in case the timer expires while the VCPU is still not running. When the hrtimer fires, we mask the guest's timer and inject the timer IRQ (still relying on the guest unmasking the time when it receives the IRQ). This is all good and fine, but when migration a VM (checkpoint/restore) this introduces a race. It is unlikely, but possible, for the following sequence of events to happen: 1. Userspace stops the VM 2. Hrtimer for VCPU is scheduled 3. Userspace checkpoints the VGIC state (no pending timer interrupts) 4. The hrtimer fires, schedules work in a workqueue 5. Workqueue function runs, masks the timer and injects timer interrupt 6. Userspace checkpoints the timer state (timer masked) At restore time, you end up with a masked timer without any timer interrupts and your guest halts never receiving timer interrupts. Fix this by only kicking the VCPU in the workqueue function, and sample the expired state of the timer when entering the guest again and inject the interrupt and mask the timer only then.

* arm/arm64: KVM: Kill CONFIG_KVM_ARM_{VGIC,TIMER}Christoffer Dall2015-03-121-31/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | We can definitely decide at run-time whether to use the GIC and timers or not, and the extra code and data structures that we allocate space for is really negligable with this config option, so I don't think it's worth the extra complexity of always having to define stub static inlines. The !CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC/TIMER case is pretty much an untested code path anyway, so we're better off just getting rid of it.

* arm/arm64: KVM: Require in-kernel vgic for the arch timersChristoffer Dall2014-12-151-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from the virtual timer going nowhere. To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize (and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and initialized in-kernel VGIC. When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning if there's an error there. We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be a void function, since the function always succeeds.

* ARM: KVM: move GIC/timer code to a common locationMarc Zyngier2013-05-191-0/+85
As KVM/arm64 is looming on the horizon, it makes sense to move some of the common code to a single location in order to reduce duplication. The code could live anywhere. Actually, most of KVM is already built with a bunch of ugly ../../.. hacks in the various Makefiles, so we're not exactly talking about style here. But maybe it is time to start moving into a less ugly direction. The include files must be in a "public" location, as they are accessed from non-KVM files (arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c). For this purpose, introduce two new locations: - virt/kvm/arm/ : x86 and ia64 already share the ioapic code in virt/kvm, so this could be seen as a (very ugly) precedent. - include/kvm/ : there is already an include/xen, and while the intent is slightly different, this seems as good a location as any Eventually, we should probably have independant Makefiles at every levels (just like everywhere else in the kernel), but this is just the first step.
