This series improves VMware guest support on x86 by refactoring the
hypercall infrastructure and adding better crash diagnostics, along
with encrypted guest support for the steal time clock.
The first patch introduces a common vmware_hypercall() backend selected
via static calls. It consolidates the existing hypercall mechanisms
(backdoor, VMCALL/VMMCALL, and TDX) behind a single interface and
selects the optimal implementation at boot. This reduces duplication
and simplifies future extensions.
Building on top of the new hypercall infrastructure, the next two
patches improve post-mortem debugging of VMware guests. They export
panic information to the hypervisor by dumping kernel messages to the
VM vmware.log on the host and explicitly reporting guest crash event
to the hypervisor.
The final patch adds support for encrypted guests by ensuring that the
shared memory used for the steal time clock is mapped as decrypted
before being shared with the hypervisor. This enables steal time
accounting to function correctly when guest memory encryption is
enabled.
Patch overview:
1. x86/vmware: Introduce common vmware_hypercall
* Consolidate hypercall implementations behind a common API
* Select backend via static_call at boot
2. x86/vmware: Log kmsg dump on panic
* Register a kmsg dumper
* Export panic logs to the host
3. x86/vmware: Report guest crash to the hypervisor
* Register a panic notifier
* Notify the hypervisor about guest crashes
4. x86/vmware: Support steal time clock for encrypted guests
* Mark shared steal time memory as decrypted early in boot

All share the same logical API but differ in their underlying register mappings. By updating the static call target early during boot, before the first hypercall is issued, the !alternatives_patched case no longer needs to be handled. This allows removal of vmware_hypercall_slow(). The new API implements the widest practical hypercall use case: up to six input and six output arguments. While this may be slightly less efficient due to clobbering all six registers and moving unused arguments - it avoids subtle ABI issues, including cases where other hypervisors implementing VMware hypercalls corrupt registers. See QEMU issue #3293 ("vmmouse driver corrupts upper 32 bits of registers on x86-64") for an example of such behavior. Additionally, enhance the VMware hypercall ABI documentation in <asm/vmware.h>.

The first patch introduces a common vmware_hypercall() backend selected via static calls. It consolidates the existing hypercall mechanisms (backdoor, VMCALL/VMMCALL, and TDX) behind a single interface and selects the optimal implementation at boot. This reduces duplication and simplifies future extensions. Building on top of the new hypercall infrastructure, the next two patches improve post-mortem debugging of VMware guests. They export panic information to the hypervisor by dumping kernel messages to the VM vmware.log on the host and explicitly reporting guest crash event to the hypervisor. The final patch adds support for encrypted guests by ensuring that the shared memory used for the steal time clock is mapped as decrypted before being shared with the hypervisor. This enables steal time accounting to function correctly when guest memory encryption is enabled. Patch overview: 1. x86/vmware: Introduce common vmware_hypercall * Consolidate hypercall implementations behind a common API * Select backend via static_call at boot 2. x86/vmware: Log kmsg dump on panic * Register a kmsg dumper * Export panic logs to the host 3. x86/vmware: Report guest crash to the hypervisor * Register a panic notifier * Notify the hypervisor about guest crashes 4. x86/vmware: Support steal time clock for encrypted guests * Mark shared steal time memory as decrypted early in boot Changelog: V1 -> V2 * Fix compilation warnings in patch 2 "x86/vmware: Log kmsg dump on panic" reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Alexey Makhalov (4): x86/vmware: Introduce common vmware_hypercall() x86/vmware: Log kmsg dump on panic x86/vmware: Report guest crash to the hypervisor x86/vmware: Support steal time clock for encrypted guests arch/x86/include/asm/vmware.h | 276 ++++++++------------ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c | 470 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 463 insertions(+), 283 deletions(-) base-commit: 7d08a6ad25f85c9bb7d0382142838cb54713f1a3 -- 2.43.7 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

All share the same logical API but differ in their underlying register mappings. By updating the static call target early during boot, before the first hypercall is issued, the !alternatives_patched case no longer needs to be handled. This allows removal of vmware_hypercall_slow(). The new API implements the widest practical hypercall use case: up to six input and six output arguments. While this may be slightly less efficient due to clobbering all six registers and moving unused arguments - it avoids subtle ABI issues, including cases where other hypervisors implementing VMware hypercalls corrupt registers. See QEMU issue #3293 ("vmmouse driver corrupts upper 32 bits of registers on x86-64") for an example of such behavior. Additionally, enhance the VMware hypercall ABI documentation in <asm/vmware.h>.
