Add ARM support for control-register write vm-events.

Patch-series summary:
1.   [minor] small (formatting & other) fixes
2.   [minor] fix an issue w/ VM_EVENT_FLAG_DENY
3+4. [major] introduce a new vm-event function (vm_event_vcpu_enter) that
             gets executed just before a vCPU is (re)entered and move some
             x86 code there
5.   [minor] conceptual change of x86 monitor_write_data structure
6.   [major] move hvm_event_cr->common vm_event_monitor_cr
7.   [major] actual implementation, use HCR.TVM bit to monitor SCTLR, TTBR0,
             TTBR1 and TTBCR writes

Corneliu ZUZU (7):
  minor (formatting) fixes
  vm-event: VM_EVENT_FLAG_DENY requires VM_EVENT_FLAG_VCPU_PAUSED
  vm-event: introduce vm_event_vcpu_enter
  vm-event/x86: use vm_event_vcpu_enter properly
  x86: replace monitor_write_data.do_write with enum
  vm-event/arm: move hvm_event_cr->common vm_event_monitor_cr
  vm-event/arm: implement support for control-register write vm-events

For VM_EVENT_FLAG_DENY to work, the vcpu must be paused (sync = 1) until the
vm-event is handled. A vm-event response having VM_EVENT_FLAG_DENY flag set
should also set the VM_EVENT_FLAG_VCPU_PAUSED flag. Enforce that in
vm_event_register_write_resume().

In an effort to improve on the vm-event interface, we introduce a new function
called vm_event_vcpu_enter. Its significance is that of a "final touch" vCPU
function - i.e. it should be called by implementing architectures just before
re-entering vCPUs.
On X86 for example, it is called on the scheduling tail (hvm_do_resume) and just
before reentering the guest world after a hypervisor trap (vmx_vmenter_helper).

After introducing vm_event_vcpu_enter, it makes sense to move the following
code there:
- handling of monitor_write_data from hvm_do_resume
- enabling/disabling CPU_BASED_CR3_LOAD_EXITING from vmx_update_guest_cr(v, 0)

After trapping a control-register write vm-event and -until- deciding if that
write is to be permitted or not (VM_EVENT_FLAG_DENY) and doing the actual write,
there cannot and should not be another trapped control-register write event.
That is: currently -only one- of the fields of monitor_write_data.do_write can
be true at any given moment and therefore it would be more appropriate to
replace those fields with an enum value.

  To: xen-devel
  Cc: Julien Grall, Stefano Stabellini, Tamas K Lengyel, Razvan Cojocaru

Add ARM support for control-register write monitoring through the vm-events
subsystem.

Chosen ARM system control-registers that can be monitored are:
    - VM_EVENT_ARM_SCTLR:      AArch32 SCTLR, AArch64 SCTLR_EL1
    - VM_EVENT_ARM_TTBR{0,1}:  AArch32 TTBR{0,1}, AArch64 TTBR{0,1}_EL1
    - VM_EVENT_ARM_TTBCR:      AArch32 TTBCR, AArch64 TCR_EL1

Trapping of write operations of these registers was attained by setting the
HCR_EL2.TVM / HCR.TVM bit.

These two adjustments clearly don't fit title / description. I certainly
don't mind unnecessary inclusions to be dropped, but the addition of
one clearly needs explanation (after all thing build fine without it).

Why don't you remove the other stray blank line at once?

I think this patch would benefit to be split in multiple patches to ease 
the review and also describe the infrastructure you have introduced 
(TVM_* & co).

I will review in detail later.

Why with a conditional? The registers can't possibly hold to non-
guest state when you're here.

There are way too many of these #include adjustments here. If
you really mean to clean these up, please don't randomly throw
this into various unrelated patches.

Please retain at least basic grouping (i.e. all xen/ ones together,
meaning the insertion should move up by one line).

Considering that there's no ARM file getting altered here at all,
mentioning ARM in the subject is a little odd.

Peeking into the next patch I see that this stays there. Common code,
however, shouldn't access ->arch sub-structures - respective fields
should be moved out.

And looking at all the uses of this variable I get the impression that
you really want a shorthand for &d->arch.monitor (if any such
helper variable is worthwhile to have here in the first place).

What's the point in removing this from the x86 header if then it
needs to be put in such a conditional? If the conditional gets
dropped in the next patch, then I think you have two options:
Leave it where it is here, and move it there. Or move it here,
but omit the conditional right away - I can't see this definition
being present to harm the ARM build in any way.

Same goes for the declaration here.

I already have an acked patch that relocates monitor-related functions
from here and the x86 header to the monitor subsystem
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9139999/). Generally, I'm trying
to keep monitor-related stuff in the appropriately named files, so if
you encounter things like this in the future the best course of action
is to relocate them. vm_event should be use-case neutral by not having
specific things for the monitor subsystem and just be the i/o system
used for passing messages.

Well, the problem with this is that the user can set the VCPU_PAUSED
flag any time it wants. It can happen that Xen hasn't paused the vCPU
but the user still sends that flag, in which case the unpause the flag
induces will not actually do anything. You should also check if the
vCPU is in fact paused rather then just relying on this flag.

I don't think this belongs to the vm_event system. It should probably
be in the monitor subsystem as it has nothing to do with passing
messages, which is essentially what vm_event is for.

So this block is not really getting relocated as the commit message
suggests as much as being completely reworked at a different location?
It would be better for it to be it's own separate patch as the changes
are not trivial.

Please mention that PRRR and NMRR are aliased to respectively MAIR0 and 
MAIR1. This will avoid to spend time trying to understanding why the 
spec says they are trapped but you don't "handle" them.

The values are the same as for arm64 (*_EL1 is aliased to * for arm32). 
Please avoid duplication.

Aarch32 kernel can return on an AArch64 Xen. This means that 
TTBR{0,1}_32 could be trapped and the write therefore be properly emulated.

The HCR register is also updated in p2m_restore_state to set HCR_EL2.RW. 
I would prefer to have a single place where HCR is updated.

Maybe we should store the HCR value per-domain?

This file is very difficult to review. Can you explain why you need to 
duplicate most of the things between the AArch64 and AArch32 port?

Whilst I understand that some registers are accessible in a different 
way between AArch64 and Aarch32, we were able to get rid of most of them 
in the Xen port by aliasing registers (see asm-arm/cpregs.h).

 From a quick look, I believe this is possible to do and would reduce a 
lot the size/complexity of this file.

Some of the code-movement here touches code I cleaned up in
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9151229 to keep vm_event and
monitor code separate as much as possible. The same separation should
be followed when we move code to common.

Sorry, that was done out of reflex, should have stated the reasoning.
Generally, if:
- event.c includes event.h
- event.c needs paging.h
- event.h -doesn't need- paging.h
then I prefer to include paging.h in event.c, not in event.h (include 
strictly -where- needed).
Also since xen/paging.h included asm/paging.h and event.c only needs the 
asm/paging.h part, I also changed xen/paging.h inclusion -> asm/paging.h 
inclusion (include strictly -what's- needed).
But I can revert that if you want me to (not that important and these 
little things are better done with automatic tools anyway), or should I 
leave the change and update the commit message?

What stray line? Shouldn't there be -one- blank line between the #endif

Looking @ other files that rule seems to hold...

Hi Julien. Yes, I agree that it's complex, I would have preferred to 
split it up too and I actually tried, but the changes are tightly 
coupled and they don't seem to be 'split-able'.

Why indeed. It made sense because monitor_write_data handling was 
originally there and then the plan was to move it to vm_event_vcpu_enter 
(which happens in the following commit).
The question is though, why was monitor_write_data handled there in the 
first place? Why was it not put e.g. in vmx_do_resume immediately after 
the call to hvm_do_resume and just before
the reset_stack_and_jump...? And what happens with handling 
monitor_write_data if this:

if ( !handle_hvm_io_completion(v) )
         return;

causes a return?

Right, I must've mistakenly taken that from ARM-side @ some point. There 
it made sense, here it doesn't.
I'll remove it in V2.

I haven't thrown anything "randomly into unrelated patches", please 
first ask for my reasoning and then draw such conclusions.
That was removed because xen/vm_event.h includes asm/vm_event.h with 
this patch (because it calls arch_vm_event_vcpu_enter) and this file 
(p2m.c) already included xen/vm_event.h.

And by 'this' you mean slightly optimizing this sequence by adding in 
old_ctls?
It seems pretty straight-forward to me, I figured if I am to move the 
monitor.write_ctrlreg_enabled part from here
it wouldn't be much of a stretch to also do this little 
optimization...what would have been appropriate?
To do this in a separate patch? To mention it in the commit message?

It's in hvm_do_resume() because, for one, that's the place that was
suggested (or at least confirmed when I've proposed it for such things)
on this list back when I wrote the code. And then it's here because
vmx_do_things()-type functions are, well, VMX, and I had hoped that by
choosing hvm-prefixed functions I'd get SVM support for free.

As for the handle_hvm_io_completion(v) return, my understanding was that
that would eventually cause another exit, and eventually we'd get to the
code below once the IO part is done.


Thanks,
Razvan

After I reviewed this patch I think it could be simplified a lot.

Most of the registers not trapped by vm-event could be emulated with 
one-line WRITE_SYSREGxx and does not require specific case depending on 
the architecture.

You can give a look how we handle the domain context switch in C 
(arch/arm/domain.c).

Only few of the registers will require more than one-line (such as 
MAIR*, *FAR) which could be over a macro.

Well, I'd leave the ultimate decision to the maintainers, but I'd say
this doesn't belong in a patch dealing with formatting issues. I.e.
I'm fine with the cleanup, but either under a different title (and
with at least an abbreviated version of what you said above), or
in a separate patch. Considering that you appear to do the same
in later patches, perhaps consolidating all the #include adjustments
into one patch would a good idea?

Oh, you're right. I thought I had frequently seen it the other way
around (and it would seem more logical to me), but I must have been
misremembering.

I see Razvan responded to this. I don't have a strong opinion
either way, my only request if for the call to be in exactly one
place.

See patch 1. Plus I don't think I (or in fact any reviewer) should ask
for such reasoning: Instead you should state extra cleanup you do
to unrelated (to the purpose of your patch) files in the description.
Or even better, split it off to a follow-on, purely cleanup patch.
(And to be clear, I much appreciate any form of reduction of the
sometimes extremely long lists of #include-s, just not [apparently
or really] randomly mixed with other, substantial changes. That's
namely because it's not clear whether source files should explicitly
include everything they need, or instead be allowed to rely on
headers they include to include further headers they also
_explicitly_ rely on. IOW there's likely a discussion to be had for
this kind of cleanup, and such a discussion should be a separate
thread from the one on the functional adjustments here.)

At least the latter, and perhaps better the former. Without even
mentioning it the readers (reviewers) have to guess whether this
is an integral part of the change, or - as you now confirm - just a
minor optimization done along the road.

This patch and the following one should be meld together.
I only split them to ease reviewing, sorry I forgot to mention that in 
the cover letter.

Then we need to find a resolution that avoids code duplication.
The code is the same, but those bits that are currently on the arch side 
(arch.monitor.write_ctrlreg_*) cannot be moved to common as they are, 
since their -number- might differ from arch-to-arch.
But we could:
- in public/vm_event.h, besides the VM_EVENT_X86_* and VM_EVENT_ARM_* 
defines (wcr index), also have
     #define VM_EVENT_X86_CR_COUNT        4
     #define VM_EVENT_ARM_CR_COUNT      4
- move the 3 write_ctrlreg_{enabled,sync,onchangeonly} fields from 
arch_domain to domain (common) and make them 8-bits wide each for now 
(widened more in the future if the need arises)
- let monitor_ctrlreg_bitmask() macro to be architecture-dependent and 
use the introduced VM_EVENT_<arch>_CR_COUNT

Tamas, we also talked on this matter @ some point (when I sent the 
patches that moved vm-event parts to common). What do you think of the 
above?

Well, this was a simple cut-paste operation, not very old content aware :)
Personally I prefer the current shorthand (ad) (seems more intuitive and 
is consistent with the other XEN_DOMCTL_MONITOR_EVENT_* cases), but if 
you prefer I'll change that shorthand to am = &d->arch.monitor?

Ah, ok. Didn't that patch make it to staging yet? I pulled the latest.
Since you already have a patch for that I guess it's ok to remove those 
comments and leave the rest as it is and merge later when one of these 
patches makes it to staging?

I think there's a delay caused by the 4.7 release. I also have an acked
patch waiting to go in that might cause you to have to rebase (part of)
the series: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9033771/

I'd prefer either no shorthand, or one eliminating the longest common
prefix across all uses.

I don't follow - having split the patches for reviewability was
a good idea. I merely commented on some oddities resulting
from that split, which - afaict - could be easily corrected without
folding the patches together.

Right, I actually meant to take a second look over that.
I see a situation like that was taken into account in 
vm_event_vcpu_unpause (comment "prevent underflow of the vcpu pause count.")
How can I check for vcpu pause here?

Thanks,
Corneliu.

 From my understanding of the commit message, vm_event_vcpu_enter should 
be called before returning to the guest. The scheduling functions are 
not called every-time Xen is returning to the guest. So if you want to 
do every time Xen is re-entering to the guest, then this should be done 
in leave_hypervisor_tail.

I figured it's usage is Xen-internal and it's meant to be of eventual 
use - whenever the need arises to do something just before a vCPU is 
reentered from the vm-event subsystem, you can simply adjust the 
implementation of that function.
I thought non-monitor vm-events could also be 'eventual users'. But then 
again by this reasoning I could broaden its significance even more, 
outside the vm-event world and make it 'usable' by any parts of code in Xen.
Shall I then rename it to vm_event_monitor_vcpu_enter and put it 
alongside the other vm_event_monitor_* functions?

Corneliu.

That's actually not reworked, it's completely removed since there's no 
need for it anymore.
That is: "latching of CR3 mask" is not done "through CR0" anymore but 
rather through the vm_event_vcpu_enter function instead and you don't 
have to do anything more here in arch_monitor_domctl_event for that to 
happen.

Staging is now open for Xen 4.8 submissions.

Would it be possible for previous submissions to be resent, or a summary
email pointing at the intended versions of the patches?  I will see
about getting stuff in.

Well, there's a slight difference here: Yours is indeed delayed until
4.7 is set in stone, for being more intrusive. Tamas'es, otoh, I would
probably have put in already if it had all necessary acks (or they
had at least been pinged for, at which point we could waive the need
for some trivial adjustments).

Just to clarify - not fully. Intrusive changes (with a higher risk of
causing backporting conflicts for eventual changes still wanting to
go into 4.7) were agreed to not get put in yet.

Right, so should I resend as Andrew has requested, or just wait?

I have the patch queued, so unless it needs rebasing I don't see a
strict need for resending.

Checking just now, it doesn't seem to need rebasing.

I mentioned that in traps.h (see "AKA" comments). Will put the same

MCR TTBRx writes from AArch32 guests appear as writes of the low 32-bits 
of AArch64 TTBRx_EL1 (architecturally mapped).
MCRR TTBRx writes from AArch32 guests appear as writes to AArch64 TTBRx_EL1.
Therefore, in the end the register we need to write is still TTBRx_EL1.

Yes, that would be nice. Will look into that for v2.

I realize all this looks complex, heck I've spent about 3-4 working days 
trying to find an acceptable macros combination that looks readable, 
useful (shortens code) and also works.
Since the cover letter isn't the right place to include such detailed 
explanations, I will come back with a reply detailing this patch alone, 
I just need some time to reinspect it since I've done this work a few 
months ago (went in sick leave).

Hmm, I have this question noted.
I remember finding from the manuals that a write from user-mode of those 
regs would still trap to EL2, but I didn't test that yet.
Will put that to test and come back with results for v2.

We can't ASSERT/BUG_ON here because rsp->reason is controlled by the 
toolstack user.
This has to do with the implementation of vm_event_resume.
What I think we should do instead is to surround "case 
VM_EVENT_REASON_MOV_TO_MSR" there with #ifdef CONFIG_X86.
Would that be suitable?

Again, that didn't make it to staging. We'll see which gets in first and 
merge afterwards?

Thanks, so then indeed the vm_event_vcpu_enter call should be there to 
avoid wrongfully calling it many times before actually entering the vCPU 
(due to IO).
I wonder though if anything wrong would happen if I put the call after 
the "inject pending hw/sw trap" part.

I tend to prefer organizing what's easy to understand/minor first (to 
let reviewers get rid of those in a flash), so I'd prefer to leave it in 
this patch with the other minor fixes and update the commit message instead.
But either way it's fine by me.

Is that still the case when that reasoning is obvious? (at least it 
seemed to me)

but anyway..

I agree with this. Will keep in mind with v2.

Personally I prefer the former since I think it also cuts down 
compilation time.
Having header H include every header Ni needed by source S makes H 
unnecessarily bulky at compilation time for other sources <> S that 
don't need headers Ni but which depend on H nonetheless.

Ack, will split in separate patch in v2.
You're right, I've got to be more attentive to always separate unrelated 
code changes, however minor they are :)

I nowhere said every _header_ should include everything any of
its _consumers_ would require. My point was solely about source
files. For example, if S depends on both H1 and H2, and H2
already includes H1, whether S then needs to just include H2, or
should also explicitly include H1 (such that S doesn't need changing
when the inclusion of H1 by H2 goes away).

Ooh, haha, sorry I've re-read your comment now. You're right, there's no 
point in that change, I'll leave it on the X86 side until the ARM part 
is actually implemented (last patch).

Which is also done, vm_event_vcpu_enter is called from 
leave_hypervisor_tail as well.
Are you saying that calling from leave_hypervisor_tail is enough and 
that the schedule_tail call is not necessary?

Ok, I'll take a look again but I'm not that optimistic, I remember 
trying pretty hard to simplify this (and kind of failing), I got the 
best I could.
I think it had to do with the fact the SCTLR macros & such got expanded 
too early (where I wanted to use them as prefixes to construct other 
macros).
Having said this, I'll look into your suggestions and reinspect the code 
to recall why those macros got to be the way the are and get back with 
conclusions.

Regards,
Corneliu.

Ah, ok got it.
I restate my view of treating these "issues" with automation tools 
rather than leaving the programmer to do primitive work that he 
shouldn't be required to do with a nowadays programming language.
Clang for example offers a powerful parsing library (can parse GCC too) 
with python bindings, it would be nice to take more advantage of that.

Corneliu.

Your later reply explain why you did not expose TTBR*_32 to ARM64, but

Why would you want to notify write to TTBR*_32 when Xen is running in 
AArch32 mode and none in Aaarch64 mode?

The vm-events for an AArch32 guests should be exactly the same
regardless of Xen mode (i.e AArch32 vs AArch64).

Testing will not tell you if a trap will occur or not. The ARM ARM may 
define it as IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

 From my understanding of the ARMv7 spec (B1.14.1 and B1.14.13 in ARM 
DDI 0406C.c), the instruction at PL0 (user mode) will not trap to the 
hypervisor:

"Setting HCR.TVM to 1 means that any attempt, to write to a Non-secure 
memory control register from a Non-secure
PL1 or PL0 mode, that this reference manual does not describe as 
UNDEFINED , generates a Hyp Trap exception."

For ARMv8 (See description of HCR_EL2.TVM D7-1971 in ARM DDI 0487A.j), 
only NS EL1 write to the registers will be trapped.

Your comment says "shouldn't" which I interpret as this would be a bug 
if VM_EVENT_REASON_MOV_TO_MSR ends up here.

If not a BUG_ON, at least returning an error. We should not silently 
ignore something that shouldn't happen.

x86 vm-event reason should never be accessible on ARM (similarly for ARM 
vm-event on x86). So the hypervisor should return an error if someone is 
calling with the wrong vm-event.

Sorry I did not spot this one.

leave_hypervisor_tail will always be called before returning to the 
guest. So a call to vm_event_vcpu_enter in this function will be sufficient.

Patches 1 through 4 of my v5 series already has acks, so I guess I'll
issue a ping for the other maintainers to check.

I don't really care about the specifics, my only request is what I
already voiced: Common code should not access arch-specific
fields. Having the field to hold the control register bits common,
but the definitions for the individual bits arch-specific is perfectly
fine for this (assuming that these per-arch definitions then again
don't get used in common code).

Tamas,

Isn't that also the case with the following block @ vm_event_resume:

         if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_VCPU_PAUSED )
         {
             if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_SET_REGISTERS )
                 vm_event_set_registers(v, &rsp);

             if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_TOGGLE_SINGLESTEP )
                 vm_event_toggle_singlestep(d, v);

             vm_event_vcpu_unpause(v);
         }

, i.e. shouldn't it be fixed to:

         /* check flags which apply only when the vCPU is paused */
         if ( atomic_read(&v->vm_event_pause_count) )
         {
             if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_SET_REGISTERS )
                 vm_event_set_registers(v, &rsp);
             if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_TOGGLE_SINGLESTEP )
                 vm_event_toggle_singlestep(d, v);
             if ( rsp.flags & VM_EVENT_FLAG_VCPU_PAUSED )
                 vm_event_vcpu_unpause(v);
         }
?

If this holds, the check for vCPU pause can also be removed from 
vm_event_toggle_singlestep (maybe turned into an ASSERT which could also 
be added to vm_event_set_registers).

Corneliu.

Yes, reworking that whole part as you outlined above would be nice!

As Jan says it would be fine to have the holder field on the common struct
but IMHO it wouldn't be easier to follow the logic that way and the only
benefit is reducing code duplication a little bit. I think for now it is
acceptable to just rather have some code duplication.

Code duplication isn't the main issue here. Inviting further
conceptually wrong code additions (accessing per-arch fields from
common code), by setting a(nother) bad precedent, is what I want
to avoid from the beginning.

I've also noticed there's a vm-event vCPU pause count 
(v->vm_event_pause_count), which is synchronized with the global pause 
count (v->pause_count).
Since we rely on vm_event_pause_count to determine if the vCPU is 
paused, I'm wondering if it can't be 'corrupted' by the user.

More specifically, is the code written to ensure that the following 
can't happen:
1. v->vm_event_pause_count > 0 (vm-event subsystem reports that the vCPU 
is paused)
2. the toolstack user can somehow decrement the global v->pause_count 
without decrementing v->vm_event_pause_count (maybe by doing consecutive 
domain resumes)
3. after many decrements by the user (2.),  v->pause_count = 0 (the vCPU 
becomes unpaused), but v->vm_event_pause_count is still > 0
?

Apparently it can't since there's a separate per-domain pause_count as 
well, but the code is a bit involved so I'm just asking to be sure.

Corneliu.

Julien,

I was trying to implement having HCR stored in arch_domain or arch_vcpu 
as suggested above and I'm a bit confused about the code in 
p2m_restore_state.
I'm hoping you can provide some feedback on this matter. Here's the 
current implementation of the function:

     void p2m_restore_state(struct vcpu *n)
     {
         register_t hcr;

         hcr = READ_SYSREG(HCR_EL2);
         WRITE_SYSREG(hcr & ~HCR_VM, HCR_EL2);
         isb();

         p2m_load_VTTBR(n->domain);
         isb();

         if ( is_32bit_domain(n->domain) )
             hcr &= ~HCR_RW;
         else
             hcr |= HCR_RW;

         WRITE_SYSREG(n->arch.sctlr, SCTLR_EL1);
         isb();

         WRITE_SYSREG(hcr, HCR_EL2);
         isb();
     }

First of all, I see the HCR_VM bit being unset (=0) but I don't quite 
understand why and even more peculiar is the fact that I couldn't find 
any place where the bit is set (=1) again.
Secondly, why this order of operations? More specifically, why is 
p2m_load_VTTBR done after the HCR_VM bit is unset and before the HCR_RW 
bit is set/unset? Can't we write HCR only once here?
And finally, I see the function is called by construct_dom0. The code 
there looks like:

     /*
      * The following loads use the domain's p2m and require current to
      * be a vcpu of the domain, temporarily switch
      */
     saved_current = current;
     p2m_restore_state(v);
     [...]
     /* Now that we are done restore the original p2m and current. */
     set_current(saved_current);
     p2m_restore_state(saved_current);

I suppose the significant changes p2m_restore_state does for the code in 
between ("[...]") is setting VTTBR & SCTLR which are used by translation 
functions such as gvirt_to_maddr (which seems to use PAR_EL1).
What I don't grasp is what effect setting the VTTBR has if HCR.HCR_VM is 
unset and left unset...

Thanks,
Corneliu.

After the first write to HCR_EL2, "hcr" still have the VM bit set as we 
only mask it. So the second write will re-set the VM bit.

I am not sure why the VM bit is unset/set in this function. I am not 
able to find a paragraph justifying it in the ARM ARM. I have CCed some 
ARM folks to check if I missed something.

HCR.VM is not left unset (see why above).

Ooh..right. Don't know how I missed that, I guess I was too focused in 
finding a -different- place where HCR was modified.

Julien,

I've also realized that it's a bit complicated to avoid writing HCR from 
2 places.
That's because:
- p2m_restore_state is part of the process of switching to another vCPU 
and the HCR write _must be committed_ here because other components 
depend on that, like address-translation functions
- I want vm_event_vcpu_enter to be called _after_ the switch to the vCPU 
is completed
- I want HCR_TVM to be set in vm_event_vcpu_enter because setting 
necessary traps _for cr vm-events_ to work should be done there (setting 
HCR_TVM bit makes sense to be there and the purpose is to centralize 
operations such as this for code comprehensibility; also, on the X86 
counterpart a similar operation is done for trapping CR3, so it would be 
nice to keep the symmetry)

Would it be such a stretch to have HCR written in 2 places? (the second 
time happens rarely anyway: it's unlikely(..) to have to do the write in 
vm_event_vcpu_enter)

Regards,
Corneliu.

Not really. It was mostly to avoid setting/clearing HCR bits in 
different place in the code. It makes more difficult to know what is the 
final result of the register.

Anyway, let's skip it for now, if it is too difficult.

Then perhaps something like the following would be suitable:

1. store hcr in arch_domain (register_t hcr)

2. add a function in asm-arm/processor.h (or where else?) which only does:
     static inline void update_hcr(struct domain *d)
     {
         WRITE_SYSREG(d->arch.hcr, HCR_EL2);
         isb();
     }

3.  modify p2m_restore_state to do:
     n->domain->arch.hcr &= ~HCR_VM;
     update_hcr(n->domain);
     p2m_load_VTTBR(n->domain);

     n->domain->arch.hcr |= HCR_VM;

     if ( is_32bit_domain(n->domain) )
         n->domain->arch.hcr &= ~HCR_RW;
     else
         n->domain->arch.hcr |= HCR_RW;

     update_hcr(n->domain);

     WRITE_SYSREG(n->arch.sctlr, SCTLR_EL1);
     isb();

4. and vcpu_enter_adjust_traps to

     if ( unlikely(0 != v->domain->arch.monitor.write_ctrlreg_enabled) )
     {
          if ( likely(v->domain->arch.hcr & HCR_TVM) )
              return;
          v->domain->arch.hcr |= HCR_TVM;
     }
     else
     {
          if ( likely(!(v->domain->arch.hcr & HCR_TVM)) )
              return;
          v->domain->arch.hcr &= ~HCR_TVM;
     }

     update_hcr(v->domain);

That way at least it's easier to follow where update_hcr is called.

And also set the initial value of HCR at the moment of creation, i.e. in 
arch_domain_create as

d->arch.hcr = READ_SYSREG(HCR_EL2)

After talking with different ARM folks, I confirm that it is not 
necessary to disable the HCR_VM before setting TTBR0.

This is not safe at all, p2m_restore_state is vCPU specific at you 
modify domain information.

However, if we store the hcr per domain, overriding every context switch 
is pointless as the domain will always be 32-bit/64-bit.

This does not need to be done in vcpu_enter_adjust_traps everytime. You 
can set the bit in arch.hcr in DOMCTL_MONITOR_EVENT_WRITE_CTRLREG.

I don't see much reason to store the value in the domain and have 
multiple update_hcr. If we store the value, then we should only call 
update_hcr once when returning to the guest.

We control the value of HCR_EL2, so it would be better to assign the 
list of flags here.

Oh right, the RW bit needs not be set/unset anymore with this change.

I wanted to keep X86-ARM symmetry and it seemed more intuitive to have 
these kind of adjustments with the vcpu_enter code motion. But now that 
I think about it, given the fact that we have the guarantee that after 
monitor_domctl and before reentering the vCPU p2m_restore_state gets 
called (due to domain_pause/domain_unpause) - thus actually committing 
the hcr update at the proper time - technically monitor_domctl _is_ the 
optimal place to set arch.hcr in. In conclusion, I'm thinking of 
discarding the entire idea of introducing vm_event_vcpu_enter, it seems 
to me now that this would also render a simpler code.

Yep, that will happen with the above-mentioned discarding of 
vm_event_vcpu_enter idea.

Right, that will happen too.
