[PATCH v9 07/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Add LBR feature emulation via guest LBR event
From: Like Xu
Date: Thu Mar 12 2020 - 22:19:25 EST
VMX transition is much more frequent than vcpu switching, and saving/
restoring tens of LBR MSRs (e.g. 32 LBR stack entries) brings too much
overhead to the frequent vmx transition itself, which is not necessary.
So the guest LBR stack msrs only gets saved/restored on the vcpu context
switching via the help of native LBR event callstack mechanism. Generally,
the LBR-related MSRs and its functionality are emulated in this way:
The guest first access on the LBR related MSRs (including DEBUGCTLMSR
and stack msrs) is always interceptible. The KVM hanlder would create
a guest LBR event which enables the callstack mode and none of hardware
counter is assigned. The host perf would enable and schedule this event
as usual. When the guest LBR event exists and the LBR stack is available
(defined as 'event->oncpu != -1'), the LBR stack msrs access would not
be intercepted but pass-through to the vcpu before vm-entry. This kind
of availability check is always performed before vm-entry, but as late
as possible to avoid reclaiming resources from any higher priority LBR
event. A negative check result would bring the interception back, and
prevent real registers accesses and potential data leakage.
At this point, vPMU only supports architecture v2 and the guest PMI
handler enables LBR via DEBUGCTLMSR rather than GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL. So
when the guest sets the enable bit, the DEBUGCTLMSR trap will ensure
the LBRS_FROZEN bit is cleared on any host with v4 or higher PMU and
the LBR facility could record as guest expected. The guest LBR event
will be released when the vPMU is reset but in next step, the lazy
release mechanism would be applied to this event like a regular vPMC.
