Commit Message

Jean-Philippe Brucker Nov. 25, 2024, 7:56 p.m. UTC
The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl can be issued either on the global fd
(/dev/kvm), or on the VM fd obtained with KVM_CREATE_VM. For most
extensions, KVM returns the same value with either method, but for some
of them it can refine the returned value depending on the VM type. The
KVM documentation [1] advises to use the VM fd:

  Based on their initialization different VMs may have different
  capabilities. It is thus encouraged to use the vm ioctl to query for
  capabilities (available with KVM_CAP_CHECK_EXTENSION_VM on the vm fd)

Ongoing work on Arm confidential VMs confirms this, as some capabilities
become unavailable to confidential VMs, requiring changes in QEMU to use
kvm_vm_check_extension() instead of kvm_check_extension() [2]. Rather
than changing each check one by one, change kvm_check_extension() to
always issue the ioctl on the VM fd when available, and remove
kvm_vm_check_extension().

Fall back to the global fd when the VM check is unavailable:

* Ancient kernels do not support KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the VM fd, since
  it was added by commit 92b591a4c46b ("KVM: Allow KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
  on the vm fd") in Linux 3.17 [3]. Support for Linux 3.16 ended in June
  2020, but there may still be old images around.

* A couple of calls must be issued before the VM fd is available, since
  they determine the VM type: KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE

Does any user actually depend on the check being done on the global fd
instead of the VM fd?  I surveyed all cases where KVM presently returns
different values depending on the query method. Luckily QEMU already
calls kvm_vm_check_extension() for most of those. Only three of them are
ambiguous, because currently done on the global fd:

* KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID on Arm, changes value if the
  user requests a vGIC different from the default. But QEMU queries this
  before vGIC configuration, so the reported value will be the same.

* KVM_CAP_SW_TLB on PPC. When issued on the global fd, returns false if
  the kvm-hv module is loaded; when issued on the VM fd, returns false
  only if the VM type is HV instead of PR. If this returns false, then
  QEMU will fail to initialize a BOOKE206 MMU model.

  So this patch supposedly improves things, as it allows to run this
  type of vCPU even when both KVM modules are loaded.

* KVM_CAP_PPC_SECURE_GUEST. Similarly, doing this check on a VM fd
  refines the returned value, and ensures that SVM is actually
  supported. Since QEMU follows the check with kvm_vm_enable_cap(), this
  patch should only provide better error reporting.
