If we update an existing memslot (e.g., resize, split), we temporarily
remove the memslot to re-add it immediately afterwards. These updates
are not atomic, especially not for KVM VCPU threads, such that we can
get spurious faults.
Let's inhibit most KVM ioctls while performing relevant updates, such
that we can perform the update just as if it would happen atomically
without additional kernel support.
We capture the add/del changes and apply them in the notifier commit
stage instead. There, we can check for overlaps and perform the ioctl
inhibiting only if really required (-> overlap).
To keep things simple we don't perform additional checks that wouldn't
actually result in an overlap -- such as !RAM memory regions in some
cases (see kvm_set_phys_mem()).
To minimize cache-line bouncing, use a separate indicator
(in_ioctl_lock) per CPU. Also, make sure to hold the kvm_slots_lock
while performing both actions (removing+re-adding).
We have to wait until all IOCTLs were exited and block new ones from
getting executed.
This approach cannot result in a deadlock as long as the inhibitor does
not hold any locks that might hinder an IOCTL from getting finished and
exited - something fairly unusual. The inhibitor will always hold the BQL.
AFAIKs, one possible candidate would be userfaultfd. If a page cannot be
placed (e.g., during postcopy), because we're waiting for a lock, or if the
userfaultfd thread cannot process a fault, because it is waiting for a
lock, there could be a deadlock. However, the BQL is not applicable here,
because any other guest memory access while holding the BQL would already
result in a deadlock.
Nothing else in the kernel should block forever and wait for userspace
intervention.
Note: pause_all_vcpus()/resume_all_vcpus() or
start_exclusive()/end_exclusive() cannot be used, as they either drop
the BQL or require to be called without the BQL - something inhibitors
cannot handle. We need a low-level locking mechanism that is
deadlock-free even when not releasing the BQL.

There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of
attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM
non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window).
A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space
so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify
window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this
capability is as follows:
Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command
Bit 31:0 - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to
enable the feature.)
Users can configure the feature by a new (x86 only) accel property:
qemu -accel kvm,notify-vmexit=run|internal-error|disable,notify-window=n
The default option of notify-vmexit is run, which will enable the
capability and do nothing if the exit happens. The internal-error option
raises a KVM internal error if it happens. The disable option does not
enable the capability. The default value of notify-window is 0. It is valid
only when notify-vmexit is not disabled. The valid range of notify-window
is non-negative. It is even safe to set it to zero since there's an
internal hardware threshold to be added to ensure no false positive.
Because a notify VM exit may happen with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit
qualification (no cases are anticipated that would set this bit), which
means VM context is corrupted. It would be reflected in the flags of
KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY exit. If KVM_NOTIFY_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set, raise a KVM
internal error unconditionally.

The following scenario can happen if QEMU sets more RESET flags while
the KVM_RESET_DIRTY_RINGS ioctl is ongoing on another host CPU:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
------------------------ ------------------ ------------------------
fill gfn0
store-rel flags for gfn0
fill gfn1
store-rel flags for gfn1
load-acq flags for gfn0
set RESET for gfn0
load-acq flags for gfn1
set RESET for gfn1
do ioctl! ----------->
ioctl(RESET_RINGS)
fill gfn2
store-rel flags for gfn2
load-acq flags for gfn2
set RESET for gfn2
process gfn0
process gfn1
process gfn2
do ioctl!
etc.
The three load-acquire in CPU0 synchronize with the three store-release
in CPU2, but CPU0 and CPU1 are only synchronized up to gfn1 and CPU1
may miss gfn2's fields other than flags.
The kernel must be able to cope with invalid values of the fields, and
userspace *will* invoke the ioctl once more. However, once the RESET flag
is cleared on gfn2, it is lost forever, therefore in the above scenario
CPU1 must read the correct value of gfn2's fields.
Therefore RESET must be set with a store-release, that will synchronize
with KVM's load-acquire in CPU1.

Provide a name field for all the memory listeners. It can be used to identify
which memory listener is which.

PowerPC has two KVM types (HV, PR) that translate into three kernel
modules:
kvm.ko - common kvm code
kvm_hv.ko - kvm running with MSR_HV=1 or MSR_HV|PR=0 in a nested guest.
kvm_pr.ko - kvm running in usermode MSR_PR=1.
Since the two KVM types can both be running at the same time, this
creates a situation in which it is possible for one or both of the
modules to fail to initialize, leaving the generic one behind. This
leads QEMU to think it can create a guest, but KVM will fail when
calling the type-specific code:
ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 22 Invalid argument
qemu-kvm: failed to initialize KVM: Invalid argument
Ideally this would be solved kernel-side, but it might be a while
until we can get rid of one of the modules. So in the meantime this
patch tries to make this less confusing for the end user by adding a
more elucidative message:
ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 22 Invalid argument
PPC KVM module is not loaded. Try 'modprobe kvm_hv'.
[dwg: Fixed error in #elif which failed compile on !ppc hosts]

Found this when I wanted to try the per-vcpu dirty rate series out, then I
found that it's not really working and it can quickly hang death a guest. I
found strange errors (e.g. guest crash after migration) happens even without
the per-vcpu dirty rate series.
When merging dirty ring, probably no one notice that the trivial renaming diff
[1] missed two existing references of kvm_dirty_ring_sizes; they do matter
since otherwise we'll mmap() a shorter range of memory after the renaming.
I think it didn't SIGBUS for me easily simply because some other stuff within
qemu mmap()ed right after the dirty rings (e.g. when testing 4096 slots, it
aligned with one small page on x86), so when we access the rings we've been
reading/writting to random memory elsewhere of qemu.
Fix the two sizes when map/unmap the shared dirty gfn memory.

Commit e50caf4a5c ("tracing: convert documentation to rST")
converted docs/devel/tracing.txt to docs/devel/tracing.rst.
We still have several references to the old file, so let's fix them
with the following command:
sed -i s/tracing.txt/tracing.rst/ $(git grep -l docs/devel/tracing.txt)

KVM dirty ring is a new interface to pass over dirty bits from kernel to the
userspace. Instead of using a bitmap for each memory region, the dirty ring
contains an array of dirtied GPAs to fetch (in the form of offset in slots).
For each vcpu there will be one dirty ring that binds to it.
kvm_dirty_ring_reap() is the major function to collect dirty rings. It can be
called either by a standalone reaper thread that runs in the background,
collecting dirty pages for the whole VM. It can also be called directly by any
thread that has BQL taken.
