[PATCH 0/6] KVM: arm64: VNCR TLB invalidation fixes

[Marc Zyngier]

Prompted by a patch [0] from Hyunwoo Kim which was addressing a pretty
annoying corner case, I spent some time looking at what was wrong in
our VNCR TLBI code. And there was a few things to say about it...

- The TLB tracking to get into the slow path is wrong. It tracks what
  is mapped, but not the established TLBs. Kind of annoying.

- Handling IPA invalidation when the TLB was established with the S1
  MMU disabled is failing for a number of reasons. This is the bug
  that Hyunwoo Kim found, but I decided to address it at its root
  rather than just fixing the symptoms.

- Deciding to run with a VNCR TLB doesn't take the state of
  SCTLR_EL2.M into account. Yes, this is a special sort of sport to
  run a hypervisor with its MMU disabled...

- TLB invalidation by VA targeting the last page/block of TTBR1_EL2 is
  dropped on the floor, because I cannot count. This was amusing. Not.

I have fixes for each of these issues, all stable candidates. On top
of that, I have a couple of patches reintroducing the tracking that
the first patch removes, this time in a way that is actually
functional. Or at least I think it is...

I'd like to thank Hyunwoo Kim for their initial patch and for
providing a reproducer that helped me finding these issues by running
it at multiple levels of nesting. It is most probably too late for
7.2, so let's try to make this 7.3 material.

[PATCH 1/6] KVM: arm64: Remove VM-wide VNCR mapping counter

[Marc Zyngier]

The global VNCR mapping counter is used to decide whether an L1
provided VNCR page is mapped in L0 on any CPU at the point of
dealing with a TLB invalidation. It is incremented when a mapping
is made in the fixmap, and decremented when unmapped.

As it turns out, this tracking has several flaws:

- we are trying to invalidate TLBs, and the mapping is only an
  opportunistic consequence of the TLB. Checking this counter to
  decide whether a TLB needs to be invalidated may result in missed
  invalidations.

- an L1 vcpu invalidating its own TLB (a very likely case) will not
  succeed in invalidating the VNCR pseudo TLB because that page is
  not mapped in L0 at this stage.

Given that this tracking fails at delivering the minimum guarantees
that are required and is only a performance optimisation, remove it
completely.

[PATCH 2/6] KVM: arm64: Handle negative S1 walk levels in VNCR TLB size evaluation

[Marc Zyngier]

Computing the effects of a TLB invalidation involves looking at
the size of the mapping cached by the TLB. For S1 mappings such as
VNCR, this is deducted from the combination of the base granule size
and the mapping level.

However, this implies that the S1 MMU is *on*. When the MMU is off,
we indicate this with the level being set to a "creative" value of
-127 (S1_MMU_DISABLED).

This ends-up being misinterpreted by pgshift_level_to_ttl() as it
doesn't handle negative levels at all (the level is immediately cast
to a u8 and only the bottom two bits considered), leading to an
invalidation size of 0. Not helpful.

Tidy-up pgshift_level_to_ttl() to handle these negative levels, and
ttl_to_size() to always return SZ_1G when no valid TTL is present.
This allows the removal of open-coded checks for similar situations.

Note that the check for a negative value not explicitely checking for
S1_MMU_DISABLED is deliberate, so that actual negative levels introduced
with LVA2 and D128 can take the same path if we ever support them.

[PATCH 3/6] KVM: arm64: Consider SCTLR_EL2.M when mapping the L1 VNCR page

[Marc Zyngier]

We record a VNCR TLB even when SCTLR_EL2.M is 0 in order to make
our life easier. But this is not something that the architecture
anticipate.

As a consequence, a hypervisor is free to set VNCR_EL2 to
some PA when SCTLR_EL2.M==0, use it to run a guest which indirectly
accesses the VNCR page, then eventually set SCTLR_EL2.M==1 with
the same VA. Yes, this is odd, but apparently legal.

A common trick in HW is to invalidate the TLBs on SCTLR_ELx.M being
flipped. But doing this is a not a good idea for us (we'd need to
trap SCTLR accesses), and wouldn't scale as we nest deeper.

Instead, use the fact that the S1 MMU being off at the point of
translation is cached in our TLB, and simply ignore it if it
doesn't match the current MMU state.

[PATCH 4/6] KVM: arm64: Correctly handle end of VA space TLBI invalidation

[Marc Zyngier]

Our TLB invalidation by VA code is based on comparing two ranges,
one defined by the TLB, and one defined by the TLBI instruction.

Each range is defined by a start and a size. However, the way the
comparison is done doesn't account for address rollover, as it
compares an address with (base + size). This works nicely until
this expression represent the last page/block in the TTBR1 VA space,
as the result is a big fat 0. And a failed TLB invalidation.

Rewrite the comparison in a way that is immune to the address
rollover (making the end address inclusive instead of exclusive),
and move this into a common helper that is used by both VA and IPA
invalidations, as suggested by Hyunwoo Kim (although the IPA version
didn't suffer from this particular problem, obviously).

[PATCH 5/6] KVM: arm64: Couple VNCR fixmap clearing and CPU number invalidation

A mapped VNCR translation must indicate which CPU it is resident.
Unmapping such a translation must make this CPU number -1.

Couple the unmap and the setting to -1 in a helper, so that we
are always sure they are done together.

[PATCH 6/6] KVM: arm64: Add VNCR TLB tracking again

[Marc Zyngier]

Having established that our VNCR TLB tracking was flawed and dropped
it from KVM, it is time to replace it with something that works.

The goal of that tracking is to hit the TLBI slow path if there
are any VNCR TLBs in the guest, irrespective of their mapping state.

For this purpose, we introduce an VM wide counter (vncr_tlb_count)
that tracks how many valid VNCR TLB are present. This means that
creating such TLB must increment the counter, and invalidation
decrement it, and both these operations must be done with the MMU
lock held for write.

On TLBI handling affecting EL2 S1, a non-zero counter forces the
handling to take the slow path to consider the VNCR TLBs.

Not exactly rocket science. Hopefully I got it right this time.
