[RFC PATCH v3 00/29] KVM: arm64: Make CPU ID registers writable by userspace

Tue Nov 16 22:43:30 PST 2021

In KVM/arm64, values of ID registers for a guest are mostly same as
its host's values except for bits for feature that KVM doesn't support
and for opt-in features that userspace didn't configure.  Userspace
can use KVM_SET_ONE_REG to a set ID register value, but it fails
if userspace attempts to modify the register value.

This patch series adds support to allow userspace to modify a value of
ID registers (as long as KVM can support features that are indicated
in the registers) so userspace can have more control of configuring
and unconfiguring features for guests.

The patch series is for both VHE and non-VHE, except for protected VMs,
which have a different way of configuring ID registers based on its
different requirements [1].
There was a patch series that tried to achieve the same thing [2].
A few snippets of codes in this series were inspired by or came from [2].

The initial value of ID registers for a vCPU will be the host's value
with bits cleared for unsupported features and for opt-in features that
were not configured. So, the initial value userspace can see (via
KVM_GET_ONE_REG) is the upper limit that can be set for the register.
Any requests to change the value that conflicts with opt-in features'
configuration will fail.

When a guest tries to use a CPU feature that is not exposed to the guest,
trapping it (to emulate a real CPU's behavior) would generally be a
desirable behavior (when it is possible with no or little side effects).
The later patches in the series add codes for this.  Only features that
can be trapped independently will be trapped by this series though.

This series adds kunit tests for new functions in sys_regs.c (except for
trivial ones), and these tests are enabled with a new configuration
option 'CONFIG_KVM_KUNIT_TEST'.

The series is based on v5.16-rc1.

v3:
  - Remove ID register consistency checking across vCPUs [Oliver]
  - Change KVM_CAP_ARM_ID_REG_WRITABLE to
    KVM_CAP_ARM_ID_REG_CONFIGURABLE [Oliver]
  - Add KUnit testing for ID register validation and trap initialization.
  - Change read_id_reg() to take care of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC
  - Add a helper of read_id_reg() (__read_id_reg()) and use the helper
    instead of directly using __vcpu_sys_reg()
  - Change not to run kvm_id_regs_consistency_check() and
    kvm_vcpu_init_traps() for protected VMs.
  - Update selftest to remove test cases for ID register consistency
    checking across vCPUs and to add test cases for ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211103062520.1445832-1-reijiw@google.com/
  - Remove unnecessary line breaks. [Andrew]
  - Use @params for comments. [Andrew]
  - Move arm64_check_features to arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c and
    change that KVM specific feature check function.  [Andrew]
  - Remove unnecessary raz handling from __set_id_reg. [Andrew]
  - Remove sys_val field from the initial id_reg_info and add it
    in the later patch. [Andrew]
  - Call id_reg->init() from id_reg_info_init(). [Andrew]
  - Fix cpuid_feature_cap_perfmon_field() to convert 0xf to 0x0
    (and use it in the following patches).
  - Change kvm_vcpu_first_run_init to set has_run_once to false
    when kvm_id_regs_consistency_check() fails.
  - Add a patch to introduce id_reg_info for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1,
    which requires special validity checking for TGran*_2 fields.
  - Add patches to introduce id_reg_info for ID_DFR1_EL1 and
    ID_MMFR0_EL1, which are required due to arm64_check_features
    implementation change.
  - Add a new argument, which is a pointer to id_reg_info, for
    id_reg_info's validate()
