[PATCH v4 03/40] KVM: arm64: Avoid storing the vcpu pointer on the stack

Christoffer Dall christoffer.dall at linaro.org
Thu Feb 15 13:02:55 PST 2018


We already have the percpu area for the host cpu state, which points to
the VCPU, so there's no need to store the VCPU pointer on the stack on
every context switch.  We can be a little more clever and just use
tpidr_el2 for the percpu offset and load the VCPU pointer from the host
context.

This does require us to calculate the percpu offset without including
the offset from the kernel mapping of the percpu array to the linear
mapping of the array (which is what we store in tpidr_el1), because a
PC-relative generated address in EL2 is already giving us the hyp alias
of the linear mapping of a kernel address.  We do this in
__cpu_init_hyp_mode() by using kvm_ksym_ref().

This change also requires us to have a scratch register, so we take the
chance to rearrange some of the el1_sync code to only look at the
vttbr_el2 to determine if this is a trap from the guest or an HVC from
the host.  We do add an extra check to call the panic code if the kernel
is configured with debugging enabled and we saw a trap from the host
which wasn't an HVC, indicating that we left some EL2 trap configured by
mistake.

The code that accesses ESR_EL2 was previously using an alternative to
use the _EL1 accessor on VHE systems, but this was actually unnecessary
as the _EL1 accessor aliases the ESR_EL2 register on VHE, and the _EL2
accessor does the same thing on both systems.

Notes:
    Changes since v3:
     - Reworked the assembly part of the patch after rebasing on v4.16-rc1
       which created a conflict with the variant 2 mitigations.
     - Removed Marc's reviewed-by due to the rework.
     - Removed unneeded extern keyword in declaration in header file
    
    Changes since v1:
     - Use PC-relative addressing to access per-cpu variables instead of
       using a load from the literal pool.
     - Remove stale comments as pointed out by Marc
     - Reworded the commit message as suggested by Drew
