Subject: [PATCH v6 14/25] KVM: x86: Load guest FPU state when access XSAVE-managed MSRs

From: Sean Christopherson <[email protected]>

Load the guest's FPU state if userspace is accessing MSRs whose values
are managed by XSAVES. Introduce two helpers, kvm_{get,set}_xstate_msr(),
to facilitate access to such kind of MSRs.

If MSRs supported in kvm_caps.supported_xss are passed through to guest,
the guest MSRs are swapped with host's before vCPU exits to userspace and
after it re-enters kernel before next VM-entry.

Because the modified code is also used for the KVM_GET_MSRS device ioctl(),
explicitly check @vcpu is non-null before attempting to load guest state.
The XSS supporting MSRs cannot be retrieved via the device ioctl() without
loading guest FPU state (which doesn't exist).

Note that guest_cpuid_has() is not queried as host userspace is allowed to
access MSRs that have not been exposed to the guest, e.g. it might do
KVM_SET_MSRS prior to KVM_SET_CPUID2.

The name 'xstate_msr' IMHO is not clear.

How about naming it 'guest_fpu_state_msrs', together with adding a comment like that:

"These msrs are context switched together with the rest of the guest FPU state,
on exit/entry to/from userspace

There is also an assumption that loading guest values while the host kernel runs,
doesn't cause harm to the host kernel"


But if you prefer something else, its fine with me, but I do appreciate to have some
comment attached to 'xstate_msr' at least.

A comment here about why this is done, will also be appreciated:

"Userspace requested us to read a MSR which value resides in the guest FPU state.
Load this state temporarily to CPU to read/update it."

And maybe here too:

"If KVM loaded the guest FPU state, unload to it to restore the original userspace FPU state
and to update the guest FPU state in case it was modified."

These functions are not used in the patch. I think they should be added later
when used.

Maybe xstate_managed_msrs? I'd prefer not to include "guest" because the behavior
is more a property of the architecture and/or the host kernel. I understand where
you're coming from, but it's the MSR *values* are part of guest state, whereas the
check is a query on how KVM manages the MSR value, if that makes sense.

And I really don't like "FPU". I get why the the kernel uses the "FPU" terminology,
but for this check in particular I want to tie the behavior back to the architecture,
i.e. provide the hint that the reason why these MSRs are special is because Intel
defined them to be context switched via XSTATE.

Actually, this is unnecesary bikeshedding to some extent, using an array is silly.
It's easier and likely far more performant (not that that matters in this case)
to use a switch statement.

Is this better?

/*
* Returns true if the MSR in question is managed via XSTATE, i.e. is context
* switched with the rest of guest FPU state.

static bool is_xstate_managed_msr(u32 index)

How about is_xfeature_msr()? xfeature is XSAVE-Supported-Feature, just to align with SDM
convention.
