Subject: [PATCH v10 00/19] KVM: xen: update shared_info and vcpu_info handling
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2023 14:43:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231204144334.910-1-paul@xen.org> (raw)
From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>
There are four new patches in the series over what was in version 9 [1]:
* KVM: xen: separate initialization of shared_info cache and content
* KVM: xen: (re-)initialize shared_info if guest (32/64-bit) mode is set
These deal with a missing re-initialization of shared_info if either the
guest or VMM changes the 'long_mode' flag. This was discovred in testing
when the guest wallclock reverted to the Unix epoch because the pvclock
information in the shared_info page was not in the correct place, and so
the guest read zeroes instead.
* KVM: xen: don't block on pfncache locks in kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
* KVM: pfncache: check the need for invalidation under read lock first
The first of these fixes a bug discovered when compiling the kernel with
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING: kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast() can be called from
the callback of a HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_HARD timer and hence be executed in
IRQ context. It should therefore not block on any lock. Thus two
occurrences of a read_lock() are converted to a read_trylock() which
kick the code down a slow-path if they fail.
The second patch removes a 'false' contention on the pfncache lock that
could result in taking that slow-path: the MMU notifier callback need only
take a pfncache read lock; it only need take a write lock if a match is
found.
Apart from these new patches...
* KVM: xen: split up kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
... has been re-worked to (hopefully) improve readability and also validate
the 'correct' vcpu_info structure depending on whether the guest is in long
mode or not.
