[PATCH] KVM: Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries

[PATCH] KVM: Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries

[Filippo Sironi]

Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries when we're running on
KVM. This is to replicate functionality that's available when we're
running on Xen.

Let's start with /sys/hypervisor/uuid, which users prefer over
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid as a way to recognize a virtual
machine, since it's also available when running on Xen HVM and on Xen PV
and, on top of that doesn't require root privileges by default.

Can you make this an arch hook? On s390 it is possible to get the uuid with
the stsi instruction. 
See
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/tree/arch/s390/kernel/sysinfo.c#n248


We do use uuid_t, but we can certainly return a char*.

I would suggest having a top-level sys-hypervisor.c that will create
common files that all hypervisors should have (uuid, type, version, etc)
and then have hypervisor- and/or arch-specific hooks.

I think we really need *both* hypervisor- and arch-specific hooks.

Yeey! Thank you for doing this. It has been on my TODO but just never
got to it.

I think you also need to update the Documentation/../sysfs file.

KVM: Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries

[Filippo Sironi]

Long-time Xen HVM and Xen PV users are missing /sys/hypervisor entries when
moving to KVM.  One report is about getting the VM UUID.  The VM UUID can
already be retrieved using /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid.  This has
two downsides: (1) it requires root privileges and (2) it is only available on
KVM and Xen HVM.

By exposing /sys/hypervisor/uuid when running on KVM as well, we provide an
interface that's functional for KVM, Xen HVM, and Xen PV.  Let's do so by
providing arch-specific hooks so that different architectures can implement the
hooks in different ways.

Further work can be done by consolidating the creation of the basic
/sys/hypervisor across hypervisors.

I would prefer to have kvm_para_get_uuid return a uuid_t
but char * will probably work out as well.

Isnt kvm_para_available a function that is defined in the context of the HOST

I looked into getting a uuid_t.

At least for architectures where we retrieve that bit of
information from DMI tables, this is undesirable since
the interpretation of the UUID changed with DMI 2.6
(the first 3 fields are now encoded in little-endian).
This means that we wouldn't know how to print it in this
generic code.

I think that it's best if the architecture specific code
turns the UUID into the string representation.

I would prefer to have kvm_para_get_uuid return a uuid_t

I think this needs something akin to

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-hypervisor-xen

to document which files are available.

The usual return value for the Xen /sys/hypervisor interface is
"<denied>". Wouldn't it make sense to follow that pattern for the KVM
one too? Currently, if we can not determine the UUID this will just
return (null).

Otherwise, looks good to me. Are you aware of any other files we should
provide? Also, is there any reason not to implement ARM as well while at it?

This string comes straight from Xen.

It was an effort to reduce the quantity of interesting fingerprintable
data accessable by default to unprivileged guests.

What a great design :). My point is mostly that we should be as common
as possible when it comes to /sys/hypervisor, so that tools don't have
to care about the HV they're working against.

By being first to implement <denied> you just created precedence, so we
can either simulate the same behavor for KVM or be different. And since
commonality is good, I'd rather be the same.

That said, I couldn't find in the patdch above whether Xen even emits
<denied> for the uuid. Does it have that capability? If not, we may as
well go with (null).

It might make sense to have a common sys-hypervisor.c file
(drivers/hypervisor/sys-hypervisor.c or some such), with
hypervisor-specific ops/callbacks/etc.

Yes, it definitely does. I would follow up with future patches to make it
happen.

It might make sense to have a common sys-hypervisor.c file
(drivers/hypervisor/sys-hypervisor.c or some such), with
hypervisor-specific ops/callbacks/etc.

This originated from a customer request that was using /sys/hypervisor/uuid.
My guess is that we would want to expose "type" and "version" moving
forward and that's when we hypervisor hooks will be useful on top
of arch hooks.

On a different note, any idea how to check whether the OS is running
virtualized on KVM on ARM and ARM64?  kvm_para_available() isn't an
option and the same is true for S390 where kvm_para_available()
always returns true and it would even if a KVM enabled kernel would
be running on bare metal.

I think we will need another arch hook to call a function that says
whether the OS is running virtualized on KVM.

Yeah, ARM doesn't have any KVM PV FWIW. I also can't find any explicit 
hint passed into guests that we are indeed running in KVM. The closest 
thing I can see is the SMBIOS product identifier in QEMU which gets 
patched to "KVM Virtual Machine". Maybe we'll have to do with that for 
the sake of backwards compatibility ...

For s390, you can figure the topology out using the sthyi instruction. 
I'm not sure if there is a nice in-kernel API to leverage that though. 
In fact, kvm_para_available() probably should check sthyi output to 
determine whether we really can use it, no? Christian?

How about "psci_ops.conduit" (PSCI_CONDUIT_HVC vs PSCI_CONDUIT_SMC)?

How about "psci_ops.conduit" (PSCI_CONDUIT_HVC vs PSCI_CONDUIT_SMC)?

This won't work for 2 reasons:

   a) You don't know it's KVM. You only know you might be running in EL1.
   b) KVM may choose to just use SMC for PSCI going forward and trap on it.

[changing Christoffer address for one that actually]

That's not enough. HVC only tells you about the fact that you are
running under a hypervisor without telling you which one, and doesn't
cater for nested virt. It doesn't tell you anything about a hypervisor
that doesn't use HVC at all (it could only advertise SMC, for example).

If you want to identify the hypervisor, don't guess. Use the SMCCC
discovery mechanism, and make KVM identify itself as the hypervisor. I
have some code for that stashed at [1] as part of an unrelated series,
which I may post at some point.

Thanks,

	M.

[changing Christoffer address for one that actually]

That's not enough. HVC only tells you about the fact that you are
running under a hypervisor without telling you which one, and doesn't
cater for nested virt. It doesn't tell you anything about a hypervisor
that doesn't use HVC at all (it could only advertise SMC, for example).

If you want to identify the hypervisor, don't guess. Use the SMCCC
discovery mechanism, and make KVM identify itself as the hypervisor. I
have some code for that stashed at [1] as part of an unrelated series,
which I may post at some point.

Yeah, ARM doesn't have any KVM PV FWIW. I also can't find any explicit 
hint passed into guests that we are indeed running in KVM. The closest 
thing I can see is the SMBIOS product identifier in QEMU which gets 
patched to "KVM Virtual Machine". Maybe we'll have to do with that for 
the sake of backwards compatibility ...

For s390, you can figure the topology out using the sthyi instruction. 
I'm not sure if there is a nice in-kernel API to leverage that though. 
In fact, kvm_para_available() probably should check sthyi output to 
determine whether we really can use it, no? Christian?

This originated from a customer request that was using /sys/hypervisor/uuid.
My guess is that we would want to expose "type" and "version" moving
forward and that's when we hypervisor hooks will be useful on top
of arch hooks.

On a different note, any idea how to check whether the OS is running
virtualized on KVM on ARM and ARM64?  kvm_para_available() isn't an
option and the same is true for S390 where kvm_para_available()
always returns true and it would even if a KVM enabled kernel would
be running on bare metal.

I think we will need another arch hook to call a function that says
whether the OS is running virtualized on KVM.

I think this needs something akin to

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-hypervisor-xen

to document which files are available.

The usual return value for the Xen /sys/hypervisor interface is
"<denied>". Wouldn't it make sense to follow that pattern for the KVM
one too? Currently, if we can not determine the UUID this will just
return (null).

Otherwise, looks good to me. Are you aware of any other files we should
provide? Also, is there any reason not to implement ARM as well while at it?

[PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries

[Filippo Sironi]

Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries when we're running on
KVM. This is to replicate functionality that's available when we're
running on Xen.

Start with /sys/hypervisor/uuid, which users prefer over
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid as a way to recognize a virtual
machine, since it's also available when running on Xen HVM and on Xen PV
and, on top of that doesn't require root privileges by default.
Let's create arch-specific hooks so that different architectures can
provide different implementations.

v2:
* move the retrieval of the VM UUID out of uuid_show and into
  kvm_para_get_uuid, which is a weak function that can be overwritten

This adds a new dependency on CONFIG_DMI. Probably best to guard it with
an #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DMI).

The concept seems sound though.

include/linux/dmi.h contains a dummy implementation of
dmi_get_system_info that returns NULL if CONFIG_DMI isn't defined.
This is enough unless we decide to return "<denied>" like in Xen.
If then, we can have the check in the generic code to turn NULL
into "<denied>".

Not sure I am answering your question but on Xen we return UUID value
zero if access permissions are not sufficient. Not <denied>.

Not sure I am answering your question but on Xen we return UUID value
zero if access permissions are not sufficient. Not <denied>.

Then, I believe that returning 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
instead of NULL in the weak implementation of 1/2 and translating
NULL into 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is the better approach.

I'll repost.

Just keep it at NULL in kvm_para_get_uuid() and convert to the canonical
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 in uuid_show().

Not sure I am answering your question but on Xen we return UUID value
zero if access permissions are not sufficient. Not <denied>.

Oh, I missed that bit. Awesome! Less work :).

Yes. Waiting for someone from Xen to answer this :)

include/linux/dmi.h contains a dummy implementation of
dmi_get_system_info that returns NULL if CONFIG_DMI isn't defined.
This is enough unless we decide to return "<denied>" like in Xen.
If then, we can have the check in the generic code to turn NULL
into "<denied>".

This adds a new dependency on CONFIG_DMI. Probably best to guard it with
an #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DMI).

The concept seems sound though.

[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: x86: Implement the arch-specific hook to report the VM UUID

[Filippo Sironi]

On x86, we report the UUID in DMI System Information (i.e., DMI Type 1)
as VM UUID.

KVM: Start populating /sys/hypervisor with KVM entries

[Filippo Sironi]

Long-time Xen HVM and Xen PV users are missing /sys/hypervisor entries when
moving to KVM.  One report is about getting the VM UUID.  The VM UUID can
already be retrieved using /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid.  This has
two downsides: (1) it requires root privileges and (2) it is only available on
KVM and Xen HVM.

By exposing /sys/hypervisor/uuid when running on KVM as well, we provide an
interface that's functional for KVM, Xen HVM, and Xen PV.  Let's do so by
providing arch-specific hooks so that different architectures can implement the
hooks in different ways.

Further work can be done by consolidating the creation of the basic
/sys/hypervisor across hypervisors.
