[PATCH v10 7/9] KVM: VMX: virtualize split lock detection

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Wed Aug 19 2020 - 02:48:09 EST


TEST_CTRL MSR is per-core scope, i.e., the sibling threads in the same
physical core share the same MSR. This requires additional constraint
when exposing it to guest.

1) When host SLD state is sld_off (no X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT),
feature split lock detection is unsupported/disabled.
Cannot expose it to guest.

2) When host SLD state is sld_warn (has X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT
but no X86_FEATURE_SLD_FATAL), feature split lock detection can be
exposed to guest only when nosmt due to the per-core scope.

In this case, guest's setting can be propagated into real hardware
MSR. Further, to avoid the potiential MSR_TEST_CTRL.SLD toggling
overhead during every vm-enter and vm-exit, it loads and keeps
guest's SLD setting when in vcpu run loop and guest_state_loaded,
i.e., between vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() and
vmx_prepare_switch_to_host().

3) when host SLD state is sld_fatal (has X86_FEATURE_SLD_FATAL),
feature split lock detection can be exposed to guest regardless of
SMT but KVM_HINTS_SLD_FATAL needs to be set.

In this case, guest can still set and clear MSR_TEST_CTRL.SLD bit,
but the bit value never be propagated to real MSR. KVM always keeps
SLD bit turned on for guest vcpu. The reason why not force guest
MSR_CTRL.SLD bit to 1 is that guest needs to set this bit to 1 itself
to tell KVM it's SLD-aware.
