The following series implements VM forking for Intel HVM guests to allow for
the fast creation of identical VMs without the assosciated high startup costs
of booting or restoring the VM from a savefile.
JIRA issue: https://xenproject.atlassian.net/browse/XEN-89
The fork operation is implemented as part of the "xl fork-vm" command:
xl fork-vm -C <config> -Q <qemu-save-file> -m <max-vcpus> <parent_domid>
By default a fully functional fork is created. The user is in charge however to
create the appropriate config file for the fork and to generate the QEMU save
file before the fork-vm call is made. The config file needs to give the
fork a new name at minimum but other settings may also require changes. Certain
settings in the config file of both the parent and the fork have to be set to
default. Details are documented.
The interface also allows to split the forking into two steps:
xl fork-vm --launch-dm no \
-m <max-vcpus> \
-p <parent_domid>
xl fork-vm --launch-dm late \
-C <config_file_for_fork> \
-Q <qemu_save_file> \
<fork_domid>
The split creation model is useful when the VM needs to be created as fast as
possible. The forked VM can be unpaused without the device model being launched
to be monitored and accessed via VMI. Note however that without its device
model running (depending on what is executing in the VM) it is bound to
misbehave or even crash when its trying to access devices that would be
emulated by QEMU. We anticipate that for certain use-cases this would be an
acceptable situation, in case for example when fuzzing is performed of code
segments that don't access such devices.
Launching the device model requires the QEMU Xen savefile to be generated
manually from the parent VM. This can be accomplished simply by connecting to
its QMP socket and issuing the "xen-save-devices-state" command. For example
using the standard tool socat these commands can be used to generate the file:
socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/xen/qmp-libxl-<parent_domid>
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
{ "execute": "xen-save-devices-state", \
"arguments": { "filename": "/path/to/save/qemu_state", \
"live": false} }
At runtime the forked VM starts running with an empty p2m which gets lazily
populated when the VM generates EPT faults, similar to how altp2m views are
populated. If the memory access is a read-only access, the p2m entry is
populated with a memory shared entry with its parent. For write memory accesses
or in case memory sharing wasn't possible (for example in case a reference is
held by a third party), a new page is allocated and the page contents are
copied over from the parent VM. Forks can be further forked if needed, thus
allowing for further memory savings.
A VM fork reset hypercall is also added that allows the fork to be reset to the
state it was just after a fork, also accessible via xl:
xl fork-vm --fork-reset -p <fork_domid>
This is an optimization for cases where the forks are very short-lived and run
without a device model, so resetting saves some time compared to creating a
brand new fork provided the fork has not aquired a lot of memory. If the fork
has a lot of memory deduplicated it is likely going to be faster to create a
new fork from scratch and asynchronously destroying the old one.
The series has been tested with Windows VMs and functions as expected. Linux
VMs when forked from a running VM will have a frozen VNC screen. Linux VMs at
this time can only be forked with a working device model when the parent VM was
restored from a snapshot using "xl restore -p". This is a known limitation.
Forking time has been measured to be 0.0007s, device model launch to be around
1s depending largely on the number of devices being emulated. Fork resets have
been measured to be 0.0001s under the optimal circumstances.
New in v10:
Rebased on staging and minor fixes for things pointed out by Roger
Allocate pages for vcpu_info if used by parent
Document limitation of guest settings that have to be set to default
Require max-vcpus to be specified by toolstack-side
Code movement in toolstack & compile tested on ARM
Implement hypercall continuation for reset operation
Patch 1-2 implements the VM fork & reset operation hypervisor side bits
Patch 3 adds the toolstack-side code implementing VM forking and reset

VM forking is the process of creating a domain with an empty memory space and a
parent domain specified from which to populate the memory when necessary. For
the new domain to be functional the VM state is copied over as part of the fork
operation (HVM params, hap allocation, etc).

Implement hypercall that allows a fork to shed all memory that got allocated
for it during its execution and re-load its vCPU context from the parent VM.
This allows the forked VM to reset into the same state the parent VM is in a
faster way then creating a new fork would be. Measurements show about a 2x
speedup during normal fuzzing operations. Performance may vary depending how
much memory got allocated for the forked VM. If it has been completely
deduplicated from the parent VM then creating a new fork would likely be more
performant.

Add necessary bits to implement "xl fork-vm" commands. The command allows the
user to specify how to launch the device model allowing for a late-launch model
in which the user can execute the fork without the device model and decide to
only later launch it.

I think you also need to copy the contents from the parent into those
vcpu_info areas, or else you might discard pending event channels
contained in the evtchn_* fields? (and the masked channels if any).
The runtime area should be handled in a similar way AFAICT (albeit
there's no need to copy the parent's data in that case), see
VCPUOP_register_runstate_memory_area.

I think you also need to copy the contents from the parent page here.

I think you need to copy the contents of the shared info page from the
parent into the child, or else you are discarding any pending event
channels. You should also map such shared info page into the same gfn
as the parent.
Thanks, Roger.

The toolstack simply clears these pages during restore so I'm not sure
(see https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c;h=3f78248f32fec239db77b0e483b0195211e6b974;hb=HEAD#l61).
I don't see why you would have to clear the pages first if they get
overwritten by saved versions later. Or these pages are expected to be
torn-down by the save/restore aware guests?

You also need to reset the contents of the special pages, the
vcpu_info pages and the shared_info page in order to match the state
the VM was in when forking.
PV timers should also be reset to parent's state AFAICT, or else you
will get spurious timer interrupts.
In fact you should check against the state of the parent, because the
fork might have changed the position of the shared info or any other
of those magic areas, and that should be reverted to the state they
are in the parent.
Thanks, Roger.

Could you point me to the right direction here for where the timers
are located in the codebase?

Makes sense.

Guests using those pages know they are torn down during suspend/resume
and expect to find a clean state when resuming. That's not the case with
forking however, as the guest is completely unaware of the fork
happening.
One thing I'm not sure of is whether the backends (xenstored,
xenconsoled) will cope with those pages being already populated on
guest creation.
AFAICT another issue is that xenstore watches are not copied over from
the parent, so any watches the parent might have set will not fire on
the child. That would require some kind of interaction with xenstored
in order to request a guest state to be copied over to another guest.

Oh, and the PV timer state should also be copied over, so that PV
timer interrupts are not lost.

The code paths start at VCPUOP_set_periodic_timer,
VCPUOP_stop_periodic_timer, VCPUOP_set_singleshot_timer and
VCPUOP_stop_singleshot_timer. AFAICT it's mostly a matter of copying
the state and staring the timer if it was already active on the
parent.
Thanks, Roger.

Sounds like it most likely would need to be handled if the guest uses
them. I'm not sure if a default Linux HVM guest uses them though. A
Windows HVM guest without the PV drivers is certainly not Xen aware so
there things already work just fine and that is our primary target for
our use-case. PVHVM/PVH Linux guests are not. So that's really outside
the scope of what I can contribute at the moment.
Thanks,
Tamas

Linux PVHVM does use xenstore watches to monitor backend state
changes, but it would require a non-trivial amount of work to clone
the state of PV devices, so I guess it's something to be left as a
TODO item.

Sure.
Can you please add a TODO item here to note that the contents of those
special pages likely need to be copied over, and that the state of PV
devices and interfaces that rely on backends running in userspace is
not handled at all.
Thanks, Roger.

Of course. I will finish up the PV timer parts and copying the shared
info page, but will leave the rest as TODO. Hopefully this will get at
least a default Linux HVM fork working the same way as Windows does,
but if not then I'll unfortunately have to leave it as-is for now.

Unfortunately Linux's VNC console is still only responsive if the
parent was just restored from a save file. There must be some other
pieces missing here but I'm just going to document it as a TODO as
it's really outside our scope.
