Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KVM: x86/pmu: Force reprogramming of all counters on PMU filter change
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 00:13:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220923001355.3741194-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220923001355.3741194-1-seanjc@google.com>
Force vCPUs to reprogram all counters on a PMU filter change to provide
a sane ABI for userspace. Use the existing KVM_REQ_PMU to do the
programming, and take advantage of the fact that the reprogram_pmi bitmap
fits in a u64 to set all bits in a single atomic update. Note, setting
the bitmap and making the request needs to be done _after_ the SRCU
synchronization to ensure that vCPUs will reprogram using the new filter.
KVM's current "lazy" approach is confusing and non-deterministic. It's
confusing because, from a developer perspective, the code is buggy as it
makes zero sense to let userspace modify the filter but then not actually
enforce the new filter. The lazy approach is non-deterministic because
KVM enforces the filter whenever a counter is reprogrammed, not just on
guest WRMSRs, i.e. a guest might gain/lose access to an event at random
times depending on what is going on in the host.
Note, the resulting behavior is still non-determinstic while the filter
is in flux. If userspace wants to guarantee deterministic behavior, all
vCPUs should be paused during the filter update.
Fixes: 66bb8a065f5a ("KVM: x86: PMU Event Filter")
