Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/1] KVM: s390: pv: don't allow userspace to set the clock under PV
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 13:50:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220825115015.45545-2-nrb@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220825115015.45545-1-nrb@linux.ibm.com>

When running under PV, the guest's TOD clock is under control of the
ultravisor and the hypervisor isn't allowed to change it. Hence, don't
allow userspace to change the guest's TOD clock by returning
-EOPNOTSUPP.

When userspace changes the guest's TOD clock, KVM updates its
kvm.arch.epoch field and, in addition, the epoch field in all state
descriptions of all VCPUs.

But, under PV, the ultravisor will ignore the epoch field in the state
description and simply overwrite it on next SIE exit with the actual
guest epoch. This leads to KVM having an incorrect view of the guest's
TOD clock: it has updated its internal kvm.arch.epoch field, but the
ultravisor ignores the field in the state description.

Whenever a guest is now waiting for a clock comparator, KVM will
incorrectly calculate the time when the guest should wake up, possibly
causing the guest to sleep for much longer than expected.
