Extend mediated PMU support for Intel CPUs without support for saving
PERF_GLOBAL_CONTROL into the guest VMCS field on VM-Exit, e.g. for Skylake
and its derivatives, as well as Icelake. While supporting CPUs without
VM_EXIT_SAVE_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL isn't completely trivial, it's not that
complex either. And not supporting such CPUs would mean not supporting 7+
years of Intel CPUs released in the past 10 years.
On VM-Exit, immediately propagate the saved PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to the VMCS
as well as KVM's software cache so that KVM doesn't need to add full EXREG
tracking of PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL. In practice, the vast majority of VM-Exits
won't trigger software writes to guest PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, so deferring the
VMWRITE to the next VM-Enter would only delay the inevitable without
batching/avoiding VMWRITEs.
Note! Take care to refresh VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_COUNT on nested VM-Exit, as
it's unfortunately possible that KVM could recalculate MSR intercepts
while L2 is active, e.g. if userspace loads nested state and _then_ sets
PERF_CAPABILITIES. Eating the VMWRITE on every nested VM-Exit is
unfortunate, but that's a pre-existing problem and can/should be solved
separately, e.g. modifying the number of auto-load entries while L2 is
active is also uncommon on modern CPUs.

Implement the PMU "world switch" between host perf and guest mediated PMU.
When loading guest state, call into perf to switch from host to guest, and
then load guest state into hardware, and then reverse those actions when
putting guest state.
On the KVM side, when loading guest state, zero PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to ensure
all counters are disabled, then load selectors and counters, and finally
call into vendor code to load control/status information. While VMX and
SVM use different mechanisms to avoid counting host activity while guest
controls are loaded, both implementations require PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to be
zeroed when the event selectors are in flux.
When putting guest state, reverse the order, and save and zero controls
and status prior to saving+zeroing selectors and counters. Defer clearing
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to vendor code, as only SVM needs to manually clear the
MSR; VMX configures PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to be atomically cleared by the CPU
on VM-Exit.
Handle the difference in MSR layouts between Intel and AMD by communicating
the bases and stride via kvm_pmu_ops. Because KVM requires Intel v4 (and
full-width writes) and AMD v2, the MSRs to load/save are constant for a
given vendor, i.e. do not vary based on the guest PMU, and do not vary
based on host PMU (because KVM will simply disable mediated PMU support if
the necessary MSRs are unsupported).
Except for retrieving the guest's PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, which needs to be read
before invoking any fastpath handler (spoiler alert), perform the context
switch around KVM's inner run loop. State only needs to be synchronized
from hardware before KVM can access the software "caches".
Note, VMX already grabs the guest's PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL immediately after
VM-Exit, as hardware saves value into the VMCS.

Introduce eventsel_hw and fixed_ctr_ctrl_hw to store the actual HW value in
PMU event selector MSRs. In mediated PMU checks events before allowing the
event values written to the PMU MSRs. However, to match the HW behavior,
when PMU event checks fails, KVM should allow guest to read the value back.
This essentially requires an extra variable to separate the guest requested
value from actual PMU MSR value. Note this only applies to event selectors.

For vCPUs with a mediated vPMU, disable interception of counter MSRs for
PMCs that are exposed to the guest, and for GLOBAL_CTRL and related MSRs
if they are fully supported according to the vCPU model, i.e. if the MSRs
and all bits supported by hardware exist from the guest's point of view.
Do NOT passthrough event selector or fixed counter control MSRs, so that
KVM can enforce userspace-defined event filters, e.g. to prevent use of
AnyThread events (which is unfortunately a setting in the fixed counter
control MSR).
Defer support for nested passthrough of mediated PMU MSRs to the future,
as the logic for nested MSR interception is unfortunately vendor specific.

When running a guest with a mediated PMU, context switch PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
via the dedicated VMCS fields for both host and guest. For the host,
always zero GLOBAL_CTRL on exit as the guest's state will still be loaded
in hardware (KVM will context switch the bulk of PMU state outside of the
inner run loop). For the guest, use the dedicated fields to atomically
load and save PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL on all entry/exits.
For now, require VM_EXIT_SAVE_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL support (introduced by
Sapphire Rapids). KVM can support such CPUs by saving PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
via the MSR save list, a.k.a. the MSR auto-store list, but defer that
support as it adds a small amount of complexity and is somewhat unique.
To minimize VM-Entry latency, propagate IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to the VMCS
on-demand. But to minimize complexity, read IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL out of
the VMCS on all non-failing VM-Exits. I.e. partially cache the MSR.
KVM could track GLOBAL_CTRL as an EXREG and defer all reads, but writes
are rare, i.e. the dirty tracking for an EXREG is unnecessary, and it's
not obvious that shaving ~15-20 cycles per exit is meaningful given the
total overhead associated with mediated PMU context switches.

capture what it actually tracks, and to show its relationship to
pmc_is_globally_enabled(). While neither AMD nor Intel refer to event

As for "speculative", there's absolutely nothing speculative about the

- Add pragma poison for to_vmx() (Paolo)
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Switch all queries (except XSAVES) of guest features from guest CPUID to
guest capabilities, i.e. replace all calls to guest_cpuid_has() with calls
to guest_cpu_cap_has().
Keep guest_cpuid_has() around for XSAVES, but subsume its helper
guest_cpuid_get_register() and add a compile-time assertion to prevent
using guest_cpuid_has() for any other feature. Add yet another comment
for XSAVE to explain why KVM is allowed to query its raw guest CPUID.
Opportunistically drop the unused guest_cpuid_clear(), as there should be
no circumstance in which KVM needs to _clear_ a guest CPUID feature now
that everything is tracked via cpu_caps. E.g. KVM may need to _change_
a feature to emulate dynamic CPUID flags, but KVM should never need to
clear a feature in guest CPUID to prevent it from being used by the guest.
Delete the last remnants of the governed features framework, as the lone
holdout was vmx_adjust_secondary_exec_control()'s divergent behavior for
governed vs. ungoverned features.
Note, replacing guest_cpuid_has() checks with guest_cpu_cap_has() when
computing reserved CR4 bits is a nop when viewed as a whole, as KVM's
capabilities are already incorporated into the calculation, i.e. if a
feature is present in guest CPUID but unsupported by KVM, its CR4 bit
was already being marked as reserved, checking guest_cpu_cap_has() simply
double-stamps that it's a reserved bit.

As a result of a recent investigation, it was determined that x86 CPUs
which support 5-level paging, don't always respect CR4.LA57 when doing
canonical checks.
In particular:
1. MSRs which contain a linear address, allow full 57-bitcanonical address
regardless of CR4.LA57 state. For example: MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE.
2. All hidden segment bases and GDT/IDT bases also behave like MSRs.
This means that full 57-bit canonical address can be loaded to them
regardless of CR4.LA57, both using MSRS (e.g GS_BASE) and instructions
(e.g LGDT).
3. TLB invalidation instructions also allow the user to use full 57-bit
address regardless of the CR4.LA57.
Finally, it must be noted that the CPU doesn't prevent the user from
disabling 5-level paging, even when the full 57-bit canonical address is
present in one of the registers mentioned above (e.g GDT base).
In fact, this can happen without any userspace help, when the CPU enters
SMM mode - some MSRs, for example MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE are left to contain
a non-canonical address in regard to the new mode.
Since most of the affected MSRs and all segment bases can be read and
written freely by the guest without any KVM intervention, this patch makes
the emulator closely follow hardware behavior, which means that the
emulator doesn't take in the account the guest CPUID support for 5-level
paging, and only takes in the account the host CPU support.

Refine the macros which define maximum General Purpose (GP) and fixed
counter numbers.
Currently the macro KVM_INTEL_PMC_MAX_GENERIC is used to represent the
maximum supported General Purpose (GP) counter number ambiguously across
Intel and AMD platforms. This would cause issues if AMD begins to support
more GP counters than Intel.
Thus a bunch of new macros including vendor specific and vendor
independent are introduced to replace the old macros. The vendor
independent macros are used in x86 common code to hide vendor difference
and eliminate the ambiguity.
No logic changes are introduced in this patch.

Add a common helper for *internal* PMC lookups, and delete the ops hook
and Intel's implementation. Keep AMD's implementation, but rename it to
amd_pmu_get_pmc() to make it somewhat more obvious that it's suited for
both KVM-internal and guest-initiated lookups.
Because KVM tracks all counters in a single bitmap, getting a counter
when iterating over a bitmap, e.g. of all valid PMCs, requires a small
amount of math, that while simple, isn't super obvious and doesn't use the
same semantics as PMC lookups from RDPMC! Although AMD doesn't support
fixed counters, the common PMU code still behaves as if there a split, the
high half of which just happens to always be empty.
Opportunstically add a comment to explain both what is going on, and why
KVM uses a single bitmap, e.g. the boilerplate for iterating over separate
bitmaps could be done via macros, so it's not (just) about deduplicating
code.

Refactor KVM's handling of ECX for RDPMC to treat the FIXED modifier as an
explicit value, not a flag (minus one wart). While non-architectural PMUs
do use bit 31 as a flag (for "fast" reads), architectural PMUs use the
upper half of ECX to encode the type. From the SDM:
ECX[31:16] specifies type of PMC while ECX[15:0] specifies the index of
the PMC to be read within that type
Note, that the known supported types are 4000H and 2000H, i.e. look a lot
like flags, doesn't contradict the above statement that ECX[31:16] holds
the type, at least not by any sane reading of the SDM.
Keep the explicitly clearing of the FIXED "flag", as KVM subtly relies on
that behavior to disallow unsupported types while allowing the correct
indices for fixed counters. This wart will be cleaned up in short order.

Inject #GP on RDPMC if the "fast" flag is set for architectural Intel
PMUs, i.e. if the PMU version is non-zero. Per Intel's SDM, and confirmed
on bare metal, the "fast" flag is supported only for non-architectural
PMUs, and is reserved for architectural PMUs.
If the processor does not support architectural performance monitoring
(CPUID.0AH:EAX[7:0]=0), ECX[30:0] specifies the index of the PMC to be
read. Setting ECX[31] selects “fast” read mode if supported. In this mode,
RDPMC returns bits 31:0 of the PMC in EAX while clearing EDX to zero.
If the processor does support architectural performance monitoring
(CPUID.0AH:EAX[7:0] ≠ 0), ECX[31:16] specifies type of PMC while ECX[15:0]
specifies the index of the PMC to be read within that type. The following
PMC types are currently defined:
— General-purpose counters use type 0. The index x (to read IA32_PMCx)
must be less than the value enumerated by CPUID.0AH.EAX[15:8] (thus
ECX[15:8] must be zero).
— Fixed-function counters use type 4000H. The index x (to read
IA32_FIXED_CTRx) can be used if either CPUID.0AH.EDX[4:0] > x or
CPUID.0AH.ECX[x] = 1 (thus ECX[15:5] must be 0).
— Performance metrics use type 2000H. This type can be used only if
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PERF_METRICS_AVAILABLE[bit 15]=1. For this type,
the index in ECX[15:0] is implementation specific.
Opportunistically WARN if KVM ever actually tries to complete RDPMC for a

Apply the pre-intercepts RDPMC validity check only to AMD, and rename all
relevant functions to make it as clear as possible that the check is not a
standard PMC index check. On Intel, the basic rule is that only invalid
opcodes and privilege/permission/mode checks have priority over VM-Exit,
i.e. RDPMC with an invalid index should VM-Exit, not #GP. While the SDM
doesn't explicitly call out RDPMC, it _does_ explicitly use RDMSR of a
non-existent MSR as an example where VM-Exit has priority over #GP, and
RDPMC is effectively just a variation of RDMSR.
Manually testing on various Intel CPUs confirms this behavior, and the
inverted priority was introduced for SVM compatibility, i.e. was not an
intentional change for Intel PMUs. On AMD, *all* exceptions on RDPMC have
priority over VM-Exit.
Check for a NULL kvm_pmu_ops.check_rdpmc_early instead of using a RET0
static call so as to provide a convenient location to document the
difference between Intel and AMD, and to again try to make it as obvious
as possible that the early check is a one-off thing, not a generic "is
this PMC valid?" helper.

Remove KVM's bogus restriction that the guest can't program an event whose
encoding matches an unsupported architectural event. The enumeration of
an architectural event only says that if a CPU supports an architectural
event, then the event can be programmed using the architectural encoding.
The enumeration does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU
doesn't report support the architectural event.
Preventing the guest from counting events whose encoding happens to match
an architectural event breaks existing functionality whenever Intel adds
an architectural encoding that was *ever* used for a CPU that doesn't
enumerate support for the architectural event, even if the encoding is for
the exact same event!
E.g. the architectural encoding for Top-Down Slots is 0x01a4. Broadwell
CPUs, which do not support the Top-Down Slots architectural event, 0x01a4
is a valid, model-specific event. Denying guest usage of 0x01a4 if/when
KVM adds support for Top-Down slots would break any Broadwell-based guest.

Treat fixed counters as available when they are supported, i.e. don't
silently ignore an enabled fixed counter just because guest CPUID says the
associated general purpose architectural event is unavailable.
KVM originally treated fixed counters as always available, but that got
changed as part of a fix to avoid confusing REF_CPU_CYCLES, which does NOT
map to an architectural event, with the actual architectural event used
associated with bit 7, TOPDOWN_SLOTS.
The commit justified the change with:
If the event is marked as unavailable in the Intel guest CPUID
0AH.EBX leaf, we need to avoid any perf_event creation, whether
it's a gp or fixed counter.
but that justification doesn't mesh with reality. The Intel SDM uses
"architectural events" to refer to both general purpose events (the ones
with the reverse polarity mask in CPUID.0xA.EBX) and the events for fixed
counters, e.g. the SDM makes statements like:
Each of the fixed-function PMC can count only one architectural
performance event.
but the fact that fixed counter 2 (TSC reference cycles) doesn't have an
associated general purpose architectural makes trying to apply the mask
from CPUID.0xA.EBX impossible.
Furthermore, the lack of enumeration for an architectural event in CPUID
only means the CPU doesn't officially support the architectural encoding,
i.e. it doesn't mean using the architectural encoding _won't_ work, it
sipmly means there are no guarantees that it will work as expected. E.g.
if KVM is running in a VM that advertises a fixed counters but not the
corresponding architectural event encoding, and perf decides to use a
general purpose counter instead of a fixed counter, odds are very good
that the underlying hardware actually does support the architectrual
encoding, and that programming the encoding will count the right thing.
In other words, asking perf to count the event will probably work, whereas
intentionally doing nothing is obviously guaranteed to fail.
Note, at the time of the change, KVM didn't enforce hardware support, i.e.
didn't prevent userspace from enumerating support in guest CPUID.0xA.EBX
for architectural events that aren't supported in hardware. I.e. silently
dropping the fixed counter didn't somehow protection against counting the
wrong event, it just enforced guest CPUID. And practically speaking, this
issue is almost certainly limited to running KVM on a funky virtual CPU
model. No known real hardware has an asymmetric PMU where a fixed counter
is supported but the associated architectural event is not.

Zero fixed_ctr_ctrl in common code even though it's Intel specific.
Ensuring it's zero doesn't harm AMD/SVM in any way, and stopping the fixed

Performance counters are defined to have width less than 64 bits. The
vPMU code maintains the counters in u64 variables but assumes the value
to fit within the defined width. However, for Intel non-full-width
counters (MSR_IA32_PERFCTRx) the value receieved from the guest is
truncated to 32 bits and then sign-extended to full 64 bits. If a
negative value is set, it's sign-extended to 64 bits, but then in
kvm_pmu_incr_counter() it's incremented, truncated, and compared to the
previous value for overflow detection.
That previous value is not truncated, so it always evaluates bigger than
the truncated new one, and a PMI is injected. If the PMI handler writes
a negative counter value itself, the vCPU never quits the PMI loop.
Turns out that Linux PMI handler actually does write the counter with
the value just read with RDPMC, so when no full-width support is exposed
via MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, and the guest initializes the counter to
a negative value, it locks up.
This has been observed in the field, for example, when the guest configures
atop to use perfevents and runs two instances of it simultaneously.
To address the problem, maintain the invariant that the counter value
always fits in the defined bit width, by truncating the received value
in the respective set_msr methods. For better readability, factor the
out into a helper function, pmc_write_counter(), shared by vmx and svm
parts.

Walk only the "real", i.e. non-pseudo, architectural events when checking
if a hardware event is available, i.e. isn't disabled by guest CPUID.
Skipping pseudo-arch events in the loop body is unnecessarily convoluted,
especially now that KVM has enums that delineate between real and pseudo
events.

Add "enum intel_pmu_architectural_events" to replace the magic numbers for
the (pseudo-)architectural events, and to give a meaningful name to each
event so that new readers don't need psychic powers to understand what the
code is doing.

Disable PMU support when running on AMD and perf reports fewer than four
general purpose counters. All AMD PMUs must define at least four counters
due to AMD's legacy architecture hardcoding the number of counters
without providing a way to enumerate the number of counters to software,
e.g. from AMD's APM:
The legacy architecture defines four performance counters (PerfCtrn)
and corresponding event-select registers (PerfEvtSeln).
Virtualizing fewer than four counters can lead to guest instability as
software expects four counters to be available. Rather than bleed AMD
details into the common code, just define a const unsigned int and
provide a convenient location to document why Intel and AMD have different
mins (in particular, AMD's lack of any way to enumerate less than four
counters to the guest).
Keep the minimum number of counters at Intel at one, even though old P6
and Core Solo/Duo processor effectively require a minimum of two counters.
KVM can, and more importantly has up until this point, supported a vPMU so
long as the CPU has at least one counter. Perf's support for P6/Core CPUs
does require two counters, but perf will happily chug along with a single
counter when running on a modern CPU.

Move the Intel PMU implementation of pmc_is_enabled() to common x86 code
as pmc_is_globally_enabled(), and drop AMD's implementation. AMD PMU
currently supports only v1, and thus not PERF_GLOBAL_CONTROL, thus the
semantics for AMD are unchanged. And when support for AMD PMU v2 comes
along, the common behavior will also Just Work.
