Commit Message

Jane Malalane March 16, 2022, 9:13 a.m. UTC
Add XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_XAPIC and
XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_X2APIC to report accelerated xAPIC and
x2APIC, on x86 hardware. This is so that xAPIC and x2APIC virtualization
can subsequently be enabled on a per-domain basis.
No such features are currently implemented on AMD hardware.

HW assisted xAPIC virtualization will be reported if HW, at the
minimum, supports virtualize_apic_accesses as this feature alone means
that an access to the APIC page will cause an APIC-access VM exit. An
APIC-access VM exit provides a VMM with information about the access
causing the VM exit, unlike a regular EPT fault, thus simplifying some
internal handling.

HW assisted x2APIC virtualization will be reported if HW supports
virtualize_x2apic_mode and, at least, either apic_reg_virt or
virtual_intr_delivery. This also means that
sysctl follows the conditionals in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed().

For that purpose, also add an arch-specific "capabilities" parameter
to struct xen_sysctl_physinfo.

Note that this interface is intended to be compatible with AMD so that
AVIC support can be introduced in a future patch. Unlike Intel that
has multiple controls for APIC Virtualization, AMD has one global
'AVIC Enable' control bit, so fine-graining of APIC virtualization
control cannot be done on a common interface.

v8:
 * Improve commit message

v7:
 * Make sure assisted_x{2}apic_available evaluates to false, to ensure
   Xen builds, when !CONFIG_HVM
 * Fix coding style issues

v6:
 * Limit abi check to x86
 * Fix coding style issue

v5:
 * Have assisted_xapic_available solely depend on
   cpu_has_vmx_virtualize_apic_accesses and assisted_x2apic_available
   depend on cpu_has_vmx_virtualize_x2apic_mode and
   cpu_has_vmx_apic_reg_virt OR cpu_has_vmx_virtual_intr_delivery

v4:
 * Fallback to the original v2/v1 conditions for setting
   assisted_xapic_available and assisted_x2apic_available so that in
   the future APIC virtualization can be exposed on AMD hardware
   since fine-graining of "AVIC" is not supported, i.e., AMD solely
   uses "AVIC Enable". This also means that sysctl mimics what's
   exposed in CPUID

v3:
 * Define XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_ARCH_MAX for ABI checking and actually
   set "arch_capbilities", via a call to c_bitmap_to_ocaml_list()
 * Have assisted_x2apic_available only depend on
   cpu_has_vmx_virtualize_x2apic_mode

v2:
 * Use one macro LIBXL_HAVE_PHYSINFO_ASSISTED_APIC instead of two
 * Pass xcpyshinfo as a pointer in libxl__arch_get_physinfo
 * Set assisted_x{2}apic_available to be conditional upon "bsp" and
   annotate it with __ro_after_init
 * Change XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_ARCH_ASSISTED_X{2}APIC to
   _X86_ASSISTED_X{2}APIC
 * Keep XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_X{2}APIC contained within
   sysctl.h
 * Fix padding introduced in struct xen_sysctl_physinfo and bump
   XEN_SYSCTL_INTERFACE_VERSION

I'm afraid using cpu_has_vmx_* is not correct here. The
vmx_secondary_exec_control variable hasn't been set here, so you will
need to move those checks to the end of the function, after
vmx_secondary_exec_control has been set.

Thanks, Roger.

Sorry I missed that. As Jan previously suggested, maybe I could also 
just move this to vmx_vmcs_init() and thus drop the "if ( bsp )" ?

Thank you,

Jane.
