double fault fall into neither of above class per SDM. But it should be 
checked earlier than generating DB fault. See new updated.

Do you want it to be covered for now? For exception, it is easy but for IRQ, it needs to be pushed back.

Yes I want it to be covered now otherwise any serial exception generates
flood of "Exception happens serially" messages. This function does not
handle IRQ so no problem there.

But we soon will let this function cove IRQ as well per SDM.
Why not do that a little bit later?

BTW, this issue exist in original code as well.

Actually this is already addressed in current patch too: Just keep the former exception. If you mean the prink should be removed, I am fine. 
BTW, this case doesn't happen in reality.

Yes, but I've already sent a patch to fix this in existing code. It
your patch will fix this to I'll drop my version.

Keeping the former exception is not the right thing to do. It can't be
delivered because delivering it cause another exception and handler that
may fix the situation is not called since you drop last exception and
keep re-injecting the one that can't be handled.

> BTW, this case doesn't happen in reality.

Then why do you write all this code then? :) I can easily write test
case that will do that (actually I did) and if not handled properly it
just loops taking 100% cpu trying to reinject exception that cannot be
handled.

I am fixing the potential #DF bug existing in current code which only handle
PF on PF.
For those sequential exception, it is WARN_ON in current code.

Are u sure current code is dead loop in WARN_ON with your test code? 
I don't see it will never happen and thus why printk it, but shouldn't exist
in current guest that KVM can support.

See original kvm_queue_exception in case you ignored the code.

void kvm_queue_exception(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, unsigned nr)
{
        WARN_ON(vcpu->arch.exception.pending);
        vcpu->arch.exception.pending = true;
        vcpu->arch.exception.has_error_code = false;
        vcpu->arch.exception.nr = nr;
}

Any comments from Avi?

Thx, eddie

Can your describe real life scenario that needs this fix? I am all for
fixing code and be as close as possible to SDM, but if you do it do it right.

There is not point referring to current code. Current code does not
handle serial exceptions properly. So fix it in your patch otherwise I
propose to use my patch that fixes current code
(http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/21829/).

I would like Avi to decide. As comments to the difference of 2 patches, my undrestanding is that I am addressing the problem base on SDM 5-4 with the answer to serial injection as first in first service. Your patch doesn;t solve generic double fault case for example exception 11 on 11, or GP on GP which needs to be converted to #DF per SDM, rather you only handle the case the secondary exception is PF,  and servicing PF.

I can check with internal architecture to see what does "handle exceptions serially" mean in really. For me serial means first in first out, and thus we should remain 1st exception.

There is nothing to decide really. I prefer your patch with serial
exception handling fixed. If you'll not do it I'll do it.

There is a table 5.2 that defines an order between some events.  The table
is not complete, I don't see #DE there for instance.  But consider
this case: #DE (or #NP) happens while exception stack is paged out so
#PF happens next. #PF is handled by TSS gate so it uses its own stack
and it fixes exception stack in its handler. If we drop #PF because #DE
is already waiting we will keep trying to inject #DE indefinitely. The
result is hanging QEMU process eating 100% cpu time. If we replace #DE
with #PF on the other hand then #PF handler will fix exception stack
instruction that caused #DE will be re-executed, #DE regenerated and
handled properly. So which scenario do you prefer?

WFIW bochs/qemu replace old exception with a new one.

I would prefer you two to reach agreement.  Less work for me.

The second exception was encountered while injecting the first 
exception, so how can you continue with the first without servicing the 
second?

OK, an additional patch will be constructive but my position is neutral. The reason (mentioned) is:

1: Current KVM just WARN_ON for those case (and never be hit), so the this patch won't introduce 
additional issues. Either printk or WARN_ON to notify us in case we met the problem in future is safer way for me.

2: In case of real "serial ecception" happens, from architectural point of view, I think we'd better consult Table 5-2 to prioritize them, which is neither reserving former exception nor overwritting. But as you mentioned, the list is not completed. My point is that this is another complicated scenario that we should spend time in future, but not related to current patch.

3: This function will soon needs to be extended to cover IRQ case too, which needs to push back the overwritten IRQ. We need a total solution for this, so I prefer to do that some time later.

4: I prefer to split issue if possible.

But current KVM also replace pending exception with a newer one after
WARN_ON. I agree that real OSes (at least common ones) never hit this
case. But it is possible to hit it from a guest and I have a test case.

But as you mentioned, the list is not completed. My point is that this is another complicated scenario that we should spend time in future, but not related to current patch.

If you can get more complete info about what real CPU does in case of
simultaneous exceptions it would be nice. I think CPU is smart enough
to understand when second exception happened while trying to handle the
first one and handle the second one first in this case. Otherwise I
don't see how it could work.

I don't think that IRQ should be handled by this function. At leas it

That is OK, You can send two patches. The first one will WARN_ON and
overwrite exception like the current code does. And the second one will
remove WARN_ON explaining that this case is actually possible to trigger
from a guest.

I noticed the MACRO for SVM vmcb->control.event_inj and VMX VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO are almost same, I have a need to query the event injection situation in common code so plan to expose this register read/write to x86.c.  Should we define a new format for evtinj/VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO as common KVM format, or just move those original MACRO to kvm_host.h?

I haven't seen your code, so I don't know what you are trying to do, but why
querying interrupt/nmi/exception injection queues is not enough? What
info is missing there?

This is dangerous if additional bits or field values are defined by 
either architecture.  Better to use accessors.

OK.
Also back to Gleb's question, the reason I want to do that is to simplify event
generation mechanism in current KVM.

Today KVM use additional layer of exception/nmi/interrupt such as
vcpu.arch.exception.pending, vcpu->arch.interrupt.pending & vcpu->arch.nmi_injected.
All those additional layer is due to compete of VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD
write to inject the event. Both SVM & VMX has only one resource to inject the virtual event
but KVM generates 3 catagory of events in parallel which further requires additional
logic to dictate among them. One example is that exception has higher priority
than NMI/IRQ injection in current code which is not true in reality. 

Another issue is that an failed event from previous injection say IRQ or NMI may be 
discarded if an virtual exception happens in the EXIT handling now. With the patch of 
generic double fault handling, this case should be handled as normally.

Will post RFC soon.

I thought of using a queue to hold all pending events (in a common 
format), sort it by priority, and inject the head.

I don't think it matters in practice, since the guest will see it as a 
timing issue.  NMIs and IRQs are asynchronous (even those generated by 
the guest through the local APIC).

Discarding an exception is usually okay as it will be regenerated.  I 
don't think we discard interrupts or NMIs.
