Subject: [PATCH v5 00/21] AMX Support in KVM

Thanks a lot for all the review comments and guidance! Hope this
version is in a good state now. :)

(Jing is temporarily leave for family reason, Yang helped work out
this version)

----
v4->v5:
  - Directly call fpu core to expand fpstate buffer in kvm_check_cpuid()
    and remove duplicated permission check there (Sean)
  - Accordingly remove Thomas's reviewed-by as a different wrapper is
    introduced now (patch-7)
  - Properly queue #NM exception in nested scenario (Sean)
  - Verify non-XFD related #NM usage in nested scenario (Sean)
  - Hide XFD in kvm_cpu_cap on 32bit host kernels (Sean)
  - Use xstate_required_size() in KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 which may be called
    before any vcpu is created (Sean/Paolo)
  - Replace boot_cpu_has with kvm_cpu_cap_has when disabling RDMSR
    interception for xfd_err (Sean)

v3->v4:
  - Verify kvm selftest for AMX (Paolo)
  - Expand fpstate buffer in kvm_check_cpuid() and improve patch
    description (Sean)
  - Drop 'preemption' word in #NM interception patch (Sean)
  - Remove 'trap_nm' flag. Replace it by: (Sean)
    * Trapping #NM according to guest_fpu::xfd when write to xfd is
      intercepted.
    * Always trapping #NM when xfd write interception is disabled
  - Use better name for #NM related functions (Sean)
  - Drop '#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64' in __kvm_set_xcr (Sean)
  - Update description for KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 and prevent the guest from
    using the wrong ioctl (Sean)
  - Replace 'xfd_out_of_sync' with a better name (Sean)

v2->v3:
  - Trap #NM until write IA32_XFD with a non-zero value (Thomas)
  - Revise return value in __xstate_request_perm() (Thomas)
  - Revise doc for KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID (Paolo)
  - Add Thomas's reviewed-by on one patch
  - Reorder disabling read interception of XFD_ERR patch (Paolo)
  - Move disabling r/w interception of XFD from x86.c to vmx.c (Paolo)
  - Provide the API doc together with the new KVM_GET_XSAVE2 ioctl (Paolo)
  - Make KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2) return minimum size of struct
    kvm_xsave (4K) (Paolo)
  - Request permission at the start of vm_create_with_vcpus() in selftest
  - Request permission conditionally when XFD is supported (Paolo)

v1->v2:
  - Live migration supported and verified with a selftest
  - Rebase to Thomas's new series for guest fpstate reallocation [1]
  - Expand fpstate at KVM_SET_CPUID2 instead of when emulating XCR0
    and IA32_XFD (Thomas/Paolo)
  - Accordingly remove all exit-to-userspace stuff
  - Intercept #NM to save guest XFD_ERR and restore host/guest value
    at preemption on/off boundary (Thomas)
  - Accordingly remove all xfd_err logic in preemption callback and
    fpu_swap_kvm_fpstate()
  - Reuse KVM_SET_XSAVE to handle both legacy and expanded buffer (Paolo)
  - Don't return dynamic bits w/o prctl() in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID (Paolo)
  - Check guest permissions for dynamic features in CPUID[0xD] instead
    of only for AMX at KVM_SET_CPUID (Paolo)
  - Remove dynamic bit check for 32-bit guest in __kvm_set_xcr() (Paolo)
  - Fix CPUID emulation for 0x1d and 0x1e (Paolo)
  - Move "disable interception" to the end of the series (Paolo)

This series brings AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) virtualization support to
KVM. The preparatory series from Thomas [1] is also included. 

A large portion of the changes in this series is to deal with eXtended Feature
Disable (XFD) which allows resizing of the fpstate buffer to support
dynamically-enabled XSTATE features with large state component (e.g. 8K for AMX).

There are a lot of simplications when comparing v5 to the original proposal [2]
and the first version [3]. Thanks to Thomas, Paolo and Sean for many good
suggestions. 

The support is based on following key changes:

  - Guest permissions for dynamically-enabled XSAVE features

    Native tasks have to request permission via prctl() before touching
    a dynamic-resized XSTATE compoenent. Introduce guest permissions 
    for the similar purpose. Userspace VMM is expected to request guest
    permission only once when the first vCPU is created.

    KVM checks guest permission in KVM_SET_CPUID2. Setting XFD in guest
    cpuid w/o proper permissions fails this operation. In the meantime,
    unpermitted features are also excluded in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.

  - Extend fpstate reallocation mechanism to cover guest fpu

    Unlike native tasks which have reallocation triggered from #NM 
    handler, guest fpstate reallocation is requested by KVM when it
    identifies the intention on using dynamically-enabled XSAVE
    features inside guest.

    Extend fpu core to allow KVM request fpstate buffer expansion
    for a guest fpu containter.

  - Trigger fpstate reallocation in KVM

    This could be done either before guest runs or until xfd is updated
    in the emulation path. According to discussion [1] we decide to 
    go the former option in KVM_SET_CPUID2, with fpstate buffer sized
    accordingly. This spares a lot of code and also avoid imposing an
    ordered restore sequence (XCR0, XFD and XSTATE) to userspace VMM.

  - RDMSR/WRMSR emulation for IA32_XFD

    Because fpstate expansion is completed in KVM_SET_CPUID2, emulating
    r/w access to IA32_XFD simply involves the xfd field in the guest 
    fpu container. If write and guest fpu is currently active, the 
    software state (guest_fpstate::xfd and per-cpu xfd cache) is also
    updated.

  - RDMSR/WRMSR emulation for XFD_ERR

    When XFD causes an instruction to generate #NM, XFD_ERR contains
    information about which disabled state components are being accessed.
    It'd be problematic if the XFD_ERR value generated in guest is 
    consumed/clobbered by the host before the guest itself doing so. 

    Intercept #NM exception to save the guest XFD_ERR value when write
    IA32_XFD with a non-zero value for 1st time. There is at most one
    interception per guest task given a dynamic feature.

    RDMSR/WRMSR emulation uses the saved value. The host value (always
    ZERO outside of the host #NM handler) is restored before enabling
    interrupts. The saved guest value is restored right before entering
    the guest (with interrupts disabled).

  - Get/set dynamic xfeature state for migration

    Introduce new capability (KVM_CAP_XSAVE2) to deal with >4KB fpstate
    buffer. Reading this capability returns the size of the current 
    guest fpstate (e.g. after expansion). Userspace VMM uses a new ioctl
    (KVM_GET_XSAVE2) to read guest fpstate from the kernel and reuses
    the existing ioctl (KVM_SET_XSAVE) to update guest fpsate to the
    kernel. KVM_SET_XSAVE is extended to do properly_sized memdup_user()
    based on the guest fpstate.

  - Expose related cpuid bits to guest

    The last step is to allow exposing XFD, AMX_TILE, AMX_INT8 and
    AMX_BF16 in guest cpuid. Adding those bits into kvm_cpu_caps finally
    activates all previous logics in this series

  - Optimization: disable interception for IA32_XFD

    IA32_XFD can be frequently updated by the guest, as it is part of
    the task state and swapped in context switch when prev and next have
    different XFD setting. Always intercepting WRMSR can easily cause
    non-negligible overhead.

    Disable r/w emulation for IA32_XFD after intercepting the first
    WRMSR(IA32_XFD) with a non-zero value. However MSR passthrough 
    implies the software state (guest_fpstate::xfd and per-cpu xfd
    cache) might be out of sync with MSR. This suggests KVM needs to
    re-sync them at VM-exit before preemption is enabled.

Thanks Jun Nakajima and Kevin Tian for the design suggestions when this was
being internally worked on.
