[v5,00/18] kvm: arm64: Dynamic IPA and 52bit IPA

Message

Suzuki K Poulose Sept. 17, 2018, 10:41 a.m. UTC

The physical address space size for a VM (IPA size) on arm/arm64 is
limited to a static limit of 40bits. This series adds support for
using an IPA size specific to a VM, allowing to use a size supported
by the host (based on the host kernel configuration and CPU support).
The default size is fixed to 40bits. On arm64, we can allow the limit
to be lowered (limiting the number of levels in stage2 to 2, to prevent
splitting the host PMD huge pages at stage2). We also add support for
handling 52bit IPA addresses (where supported) added by Arm v8.2
extensions.

We need to set the IPA limit as early as the VM creation to keep the
code simpler to avoid sprinkling checks everywhere to ensure that the
IPA is configured. We encode the IPA size in the machine_type
argument to KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. Bits [7-0] of the type are reserved
for the IPA size. The availability of this feature is advertised by a
new cap KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT. When supported, this capability
returns the maximum IPA shift supported by the host. The supported IPA
size on a host could be different from the system's PARange indicated
by the CPUs (e.g, kernel limit on the PA size).

Supporting different IPA size requires modification to the stage2 page
table code. The arm64 page table level helpers are defined based on the
page table levels used by the host VA. So, the accessors may not work
if the guest uses more number of levels in stage2 than the stage1
of the host.  The previous versions (v1 & v2) of this series refactored
the stage1 page table accessors to reuse the low-level accessors for an
independent stage2 table. However, due to the level folding in the
generic code, the types are redefined as well. i.e, if the PUD is
folded, the pud_t could be defined as :

 typedef struct { pgd_t pgd; } pud_t;

similarly for pmd_t.  So, without stage1 independent page table entry
types for stage2, we could be dealing with a different type for level
 0-2 entries. This is practically fine on arm/arm64 as the entries
have similar format and size and we always use the appropriate
accessors to get the raw value (i.e, pud_val/pmd_val etc). But not
ideal for a solution upstream. So, this version caps the stage2 page
table levels to that of the stage1. This has the following impact on
the IPA support for various pagesize/host-va combinations :


x-----------------------------------------------------x
| host\ipa    | 40bit | 42bit | 44bit | 48bit | 52bit |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 39bit-4K    |  y    |   y   |  n    |   n   |  n/a  |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 48bit-4K    |  y    |   y   |  y    |   y   |  n/a  |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 36bit-16K   |  y    |   n   |  n    |   n   |  n/a  |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 47bit-16K   |  y    |   y   |  y    |   y   |  n/a  |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 48bit-4K    |  y    |   y   |  y    |   y   |  n/a  |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 42bit-64K   |  y    |   y   |  y    |   n   |  n    |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 48bit-64K   |  y    |   y   |  y    |   y   |  y    |
x-----------------------------------------------------x

Or the following list shows what cannot be supported :

 39bit-4K host  | [44 - 48]
 36bit-16K host | [41 - 48]
 42bit-64K host | [47 - 52]

which is not really bad. We can pursue the independent stage2
page table support and lift the restriction once we get there.
Given there is a proposal for new generic page table walker [0],
it would make sense to make our efforts in sync with it to avoid
diverting from a common API.

52bit support is added for VGIC (including ITS emulation) and handling
of PAR, HPFAR registers.

The series applies on 4.19-rc3. A tree is available here:

	 git://linux-arm.org/linux-skp.git ipa52/v5

Tested with
  - Modified kvmtool, which can only be used for (patches included in
    the series for reference / testing):
    * with virtio-pci upto 44bit PA (Due to 4K page size for virtio-pci
      legacy implemented by kvmtool)
    * Upto 48bit PA with virtio-mmio, due to 32bit PFN limitation.
  - Hacked Qemu (boot loader support for highmem, phys-shift support)
    * with virtio-pci GIC-v3 ITS & MSI upto 52bit on Foundation model.
    Also see [1] for Qemu support.

Changes since V4:
 - Rebased on v4.19-rc3
 - Dropped virtio patches queued already by mst.
 - Collect Acks from Christoffer
 - Restrict IPA configuration support to arm64 only
 - Use KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT for detecting the support for
   IPA size configuration along with the limit on the IPA for the host.
 - Update comments on __load_guest_stage2
 - Add comment about the default value for unknown PARange values.
 - Update Documentation of the API

Changes since V3:
 - Use per-VM VTCR instead per-VM private VTCR bits
 - Allow IPA less than 40bits
 - Split the patch adding support for stage2 dynamic page tables
 - Rearrange the series to keep the userspace API at the end, which
   needs further discussion.
 - Collect Reviews/Acks from Eric & Marc

Changes since V2:
 - Drop "refactoring of host page table helpers" and restrict the IPA size
   to make sure stage2 doesn't use more page table levels than that of the host.
 - Load VTCR for TLB operations on behalf of the VM (Pointed-by: James Morse)
 - Split a couple of patches to make them easier to review.
 - Fall back to normal (non-concatenated) entry level page table support if
   possible.
 - Bump the IOCTL number

Changes since V1:
 - Change the userspace API for configuring VM to encode the IPA
   size in the VM type.  (suggested by Christoffer)
 - Expose the IPA limit on the host via ioctl on /dev/kvm
 - Handle 52bit addresses in PAR & HPFAR
 - Drop patch changing the life time of stage2 PGD
 - Rename macros for 48-to-52 bit conversion for GIC ITS BASER.
   (suggested by Christoffer)
 - Split virtio PFN check patches and address comments.
