[PATCH v7 0/2] target/arm: kvm: Support for KVM DABT with no valid ISS

[PATCH v7 0/2] target/arm: kvm: Support for KVM DABT with no valid ISS

[Beata Michalska]

Some of the ARMv7 & ARMv8 load/store instructions might trigger a data abort
exception with no valid ISS info to be decoded. The lack of decode info
makes it at least tricky to emulate the instruction which is one of the
(many) reasons why KVM will not even try to do so.

So far, if a guest made an attempt to access memory outside the memory slot,
KVM reported vague ENOSYS. As a result QEMU exited with no useful information
being provided or even a clue on what has just happened.

ARM KVM introduced support for notifying of an attempt to execute
an instruction that resulted in dabt with no valid ISS decoding info.
This still leaves QEMU to handle the case, but at least now it gives more
control and a start point for more meaningful handling of such cases.

This patchset relies on KVM to insert the external data abort into the guest.


----------------------
v7:
 - Rephrasing the comment regarding abort injection and vcpu synchronization
 - switching to struct initialization instead of memset

v6:
 - replacing calling kvm_put_vcpu_events with an actual ioctl call
 - making the handler function static

v5:
 - Drop syncing vcpu regs in favour of calling kvm_put_vcpu_events directly
 - Fix decoding DFSC for LPAE case
 - Add/clarify comments
 - Switch to reporting error case failure when enabling the cap

v4:
 - Removing one of the patches as it is being picked-up separately
     target/arm: kvm: Inject events at the last stage of sync
 - Moving handling KVM issue to a separate patch
 - Minor changes wrt the review comments

v3:
 - Fix setting KVM cap per vm not per vcpu
 - Simplifying the handler to bare minimum with no default logging to address
   the potential risk of overflooding the host (adding support for rate
   limiting the logs turned out to be bit too invasive to justify the little
   add-on value from logs in this particular case)
 - Adding handling KVM bug (for small range of affected kernels):
   little bit of trade-off between what's reasonable and what's effective:
   aborting qemu when running on buggy host kernel

v2:
- Improving/re-phrasing messaging
- Dropping messing around with forced sync (@see [PATCH v2 1/2])
  and PC alignment

exception with no valid ISS info to be decoded. The lack of decode info

Add support for handling those by requesting KVM to inject external
dabt into the quest.

[PATCH v7 2/2] target/arm: kvm: Handle misconfigured dabt injection

[Beata Michalska]

Injecting external data abort through KVM might trigger
an issue on kernels that do not get updated to include the KVM fix.
For those and aarch32 guests, the injected abort gets misconfigured
to be an implementation defined exception. This leads to the guest
repeatedly re-running the faulting instruction.

Add support for handling that case.
