[PATCH v5 00/17] x86/msr: Inline rdmsr/wrmsr instructions

[PATCH v5 00/17] x86/msr: Inline rdmsr/wrmsr instructions

[Juergen Gross]

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL the paravirt
infrastructure will always use functions for reading or writing MSRs,
even when running on bare metal.

Switch to inline RDMSR/WRMSR instructions in this case, reducing the
paravirt overhead.

The first patch is a prerequisite fix for alternative patching. Its
is needed due to the initial indirect call needs to be padded with
NOPs in some cases with the following patches.

In order to make this less intrusive, some further reorganization of
the MSR access helpers is done in the patches 2-5.

The next 5 patches are converting the non-paravirt case to use direct
inlining of the MSR access instructions, including the WRMSRNS
instruction and the immediate variants of RDMSR and WRMSR if possible.

Patches 11-13 are some further preparations for making the real switch
to directly patch in the native MSR instructions easier.

Patch 14 is switching the paravirt MSR function interface from normal
call ABI to one more similar to the native MSR instructions.

Patch 15 is a little cleanup patch.

Patch 16 is the final step for patching in the native MSR instructions
when not running as a Xen PV guest.

Patch 17 converts the rest of the MSR helpers to __always_inline.

This series has been tested to work with Xen PV and on bare metal.

Based on [1] and [2].

Changes since V4:
- Rebase
- dropped patch 3 of V4, as already covered by [1]

Changes since V3:
- Rebase
- wrmsrns() related changes (patches 9+10)

Changes since V2:
- switch back to the paravirt approach

Changes since V1:
- Use Xin Li's approach for inlining
- Several new patches

[PATCH v5 03/17] x86/msr: Minimize usage of native_*() msr access functions

[Juergen Gross]

In order to prepare for some MSR access function reorg work, switch
most users of native_{read|write}_msr[_safe]() to the more generic
rdmsr*()/wrmsr*() variants.

For now this will have some intermediate performance impact with
paravirtualization configured when running on bare metal, but this
is a prereq change for the planned direct inlining of the rdmsr/wrmsr
instructions with this configuration.

The main reason for this switch is the planned move of the MSR trace
function invocation from the native_*() functions to the generic
rdmsr*()/wrmsr*() variants. Without this switch the users of the
native_*() functions would lose the related tracing entries.

Note that the Xen related MSR access functions will not be switched,
as these will be handled after the move of the trace hooks.

[PATCH v5 05/17] x86/hyperv: Switch from __rdmsr() to native_rdmsrq()

[Juergen Gross]

The __rdmsr() helper will be changed soon, so don't use it directly
outside of msr.h. Switch to native_rdmsrq() in HyperV related code.

Hi Juergen,

This doesn't build with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y. 16/17 and 17/17 are where
it breaks, but the cause is the .byte fallbacks: ASM_WRMSRNS_IMM from
08/17 and ASM_RDMSR_IMM from 10/17 don't end in a separator, unlike the
.insn variants above them.

  #define ASM_RDMSR_IMM				\
	" .byte 0xc4,0xe7,0x7b,0xf6,0xc0; .long %c[msr]"

That worked while they were only ever the last argument of an
ALTERNATIVE(), which appends its own newline. 16/17 concatenates them
with ASM_CLRERR:

	ASM_RDMSR_IMM ASM_CLRERR, X86_FEATURE_MSR_IMM,	\

so the .long operand runs into the xor. From
make arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.s:

	.byte 0xc4,0xe7,0x7b,0xf6,0xc0; .long 266xor %rdx,%rdx

  paravirt-msr.h:165: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `x'

clang reports "error: unexpected token" in the same place. 71 objects
fail, the same 71 either way, no vmlinux.

msr.h chooses between the .insn form and the .byte fallback with:

	#if defined(CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU) && CONFIG_AS_VERSION >= 24100

Two kinds of toolchain end up on the .byte side of that test:

  - GNU as older than 2.41. RHEL 9 and CentOS Stream 9 ship 2.35, and
    Documentation/process/changes.rst sets the minimum at 2.30, so this
    is a supported configuration rather than an old outlier.
  - clang, any version. CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU is never set for clang, so the
    && short-circuits and the version comparison is never reached. Your
    08/17 comment already notes that clang has no .insn support.

gcc with binutils 2.41 or newer takes the .insn path, where both macros
do end in a separator, and is unaffected.

Reproduced on v7.3-rc2 with your v3 00/13, v2 0/5 and v5 00/17 applied in
that order, x86_64 defconfig plus HYPERVISOR_GUEST, PARAVIRT, XEN and
XEN_PV. gcc 11.5.0 with GNU as 2.35.2, and clang 21.1.7.

Terminating both fallbacks fixes it, and both toolchains then build
vmlinux with no errors or warnings:

ASM_WRMSRNS needs no change, _ASM_BYTES() already emits a semicolon.

The WRMSRNS line belongs in 08/17 and the RDMSR line in 10/17.

Shreshth

Indeed, looks like we're missing support for .insn for x86.
