[PATCH v3 0/3] x86/viridian improvements

[PATCH v3 0/3] x86/viridian improvements

[Paul Durrant]

This patch series incorporates several improvements to the code
supporting viridian (i.e. hyper-v compatible) enlightenments for
Windows guests:

Patch #1 series lays the foundations for adding new viridian
enlightenments such that they can be optionally enabled, and not
immediately exposed to a guest across a save/restore boundary.

Patch #2 makes logging less verbose

Patch #3 adds support for the 'Partition Time Reference Counter'
enlightenment.

v2:
- Addressed comments from Jan Beulich
- Added patch #2

v3:
- Addressed comments from Andrew Cooper and Jan Beulich
- Re-worked patch #2
- Simplified patch #3 to use guest TSC

[PATCH v3 1/3] x86/viridian: Re-purpose the HVM parameter to be a feature mask

[Paul Durrant]

The following commits introduced the time reference counter MSR and
TSC/APIC frequency MSRs into the viridian feature set respectively:

e36cd2cdc9674a7a4855d21fb7b3e6e17c4bb33b
84657efd9116f40924aa13c9d5a349e007da716f

The time reference counter MSR feature was then reverted by commit

1cd4fab14ce25859efa4a2af13475e6650a5506c

because a flaw in the implementation meant the counter was reset on
migration.

All of these changes were made without any addtional options being
added to the VM configuration, or any compatibility checks being made
in the domain save/restore code. Hence setting the single boolean
'viridian' option in the VM configuration yields a different set of
features depending on which version of Xen the VM is started on, and the
feature set can change across migration (so new MSRs can magically appear).

This patch grandfathers in the current viridian features set and calls them
the 'base' plus 'freq' feature set. HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN is re-purposed as
a feature mask. It has only ever been legally set to 0 or 1, so the presence
of the base set and freq set are indicated by setting bit 0. The 'freq' set
can then be turned off by setting bit 1, thus restoring the pre-Xen-4.4
'base' set. Newly implemented viridian features can be optionally enabled
in future by setting further bits.

The viridian option in xl.cfg(5) has also been changed to a string list so
that the sets can be individually sepcified. For compatibility, if the
option is specified as a boolean, then a true (1) value will be translated
to a string list containing "base" and "freq".

This patch also alters the allowed write accesses to HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN.
Currently there is nothing to stop the guest writing this value (which,
while harmless to anything else, should not happen) and nothing to
stop a toolstack from setting the value back to zero whilst the guest is
running, causing CPUID leaves to disappear and MSR accesses to start
causing GPFs in the guest. Both of these possibilities are now disallowed:
Once the parameter is set to a non-zero value it may not be cleared, and
guests no longer have any write access.

[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/viridian: Make logging less verbose

[Paul Durrant]

The use of gdprintk() adds uninteresting prefixes to the log lines, and
there's really too many lines. This patch reduces the verbosity.

So how will one now know which of the potentially many guests this
is about?

Also for readability I think a local variable initialized to
&d->arch.hvm_domain.viridian.guest_os_id.fields would be quite
beneficial here.

Damn. I meant to put in an explicit %d: and print the domid, but forgot.

Furthermore, now that viridian.c has been removed from the prefix, this
message is otherwise unqualified.  It should probably regain a viridian
prefix.

All the %x should probably be %#x, otherwise it will look confusing if
any of them have an absolute value greater than 9.

In the APIC_ASSIST, v->vcpu_id is unsigned, and should use %u rather
than %d (the old code was buggy as well)

They've always been unprefixed hex values, so I don't think we really need to introduce a prefix now.

[PATCH v3 3/3] x86/viridian: Add partition time reference counter MSR support

[Paul Durrant]

This patch optionally re-instates support for the partition time reference
counter that was previously introduced by commit
e36cd2cdc9674a7a4855d21fb7b3e6e17c4bb33b and reverted by commit
1cd4fab14ce25859efa4a2af13475e6650a5506c. The previous implementation was
non-optional and flawed.

This implementation uses the tsc of vcpu0, which is preserved across
save/restore as part of the architectural state, and then converts that
to a 100ns tick using the domain's tsc_khz.
