Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 00/11] KVM: arm64: Add support for hypercall services selection

Hello,

Continuing the discussion from [1], the series tries to add support
for the user-space to elect the hypercall services that it wishes
to expose to the guest, rather than the guest discovering them
unconditionally. The idea employed by the series was taken from
[1] as suggested by Marc Z.

In a broad sense, the idea is similar to the current implementation
of PSCI interface- create a 'firmware psuedo-register' to handle the
firmware revisions. The series extends this idea to all the other
hypercalls such as TRNG (True Random Number Generator), PV_TIME
(Paravirtualized Time), and PTP (Precision Time protocol).

For better categorization and future scaling, these firmware registers
are categorized based on the service call owners, but unlike the
existing firmware psuedo-registers, they hold the features supported
in the form of a bitmap.

The capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP, is introduced to announce
this extension, which returns the number of psuedo-firmware
registers supported. During the VM initialization, the registers
holds an upper-limit of the features supported by each one of them.
It's expected that the VMMs discover the features provided by each
register via GET_ONE_REG, and writeback the desired values using
SET_ONE_REG. KVM allows this modification only until the VM has started.

Older VMMs can simply ignore the capability and the hypercall services
will be exposed unconditionally to the guests, thus ensuring backward
compatibility.

The patches are based off of mainline kernel 5.16-rc8, with the selftest
patches from [2] applied.

Patch-1 tracks if the VM has started running, which would be used in the
upcoming patches.

Patch-2 factors out the non-PSCI related interface from psci.c to
hypercalls.c, as the series would extend the list in the upcoming
patches.

Patch-3 introduces the KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP capability
definition.

Patch-4 sets up the framework for the bitmap firmware psuedo-registers.
It includes read/write helpers for the registers, and a helper to check
if a particular hypercall service is supported for the guest.
It also adds the register KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BMAP to support ARM's
standard secure services.

Patch-5 introduces the firmware register, KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BMAP,
which holds the standard hypervisor services (such as PV_TIME).

Patch-6 introduces the firmware register, KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP,
which holds the vendor specific hypercall services.

Patch-7,8 Add the necessary documentation for the newly added firmware
registers.

Patch-9 imports the SMCCC definitions from linux/arm-smccc.h into tools/
for further use in selftests.

Patch-10 adds the selftest to test the guest (using 'hvc') and VMM
interfaces (SET/GET_ONE_REG).

Patch-11 adds these firmware registers into the get-reg-list selftest.

v2 -> v3

Addressed comments by Marc and Andrew:

- Dropped kvm_vcpu_has_run_once() implementation.
- Redifined kvm_vm_has_run_once() as kvm_vm_has_started() in the core
KVM code that introduces a new field, 'vm_started', to track this.
- KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP returns the number of psuedo-firmware
bitmap registers upon a 'read'. Support for 'write' removed.
- Removed redundant spinlock, 'fw_reg_bmap_enabled' fields from the
hypercall descriptor structure.
- A separate sub-struct to hold the bitmap info is removed. The bitmap
info is directly stored in the hypercall descriptor structure
(struct kvm_hvc_desc).

v1 -> v2

Addressed comments by Oliver (thanks!):

- Introduced kvm_vcpu_has_run_once() and kvm_vm_has_run_once() in the
core kvm code, rather than relying on ARM specific vcpu->arch.has_run_once.
- Writing to KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION is done in hypercalls.c itself,
rather than separating out to psci.c.
- Introduced KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP to enable the extension.
- Tracks the register accesses from VMM to decide whether to sanitize
a register or not, as opposed to sanitizing upon the first 'write'
in v1.
- kvm_hvc_call_supported() is implemented using a direct switch-case
statement, instead of looping over all the registers to pick the
register for the function-id.
- Replaced the register bit definitions with #defines, instead of enums.
- Removed the patch v1-06/08 that imports the firmware register
definitions as it's not needed.
- Separated out the documentations in its own patch, and the renaming
of hypercalls.rst to psci.rst into another patch.
- Add the new firmware registers to get-reg-list KVM selftest.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 01/11] KVM: Capture VM start

Capture the start of the KVM VM, which is basically the
start of any vCPU run. This state of the VM is helpful
in the upcoming patches to prevent user-space from
configuring certain VM features after the VM has started
running.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 02/11] KVM: arm64: Factor out firmware register handling from psci.c

Common hypercall firmware register handing is currently employed
by psci.c. Since the upcoming patches add more of these registers,
it's better to move the generic handling to hypercall.c for a
cleaner presentation.

While we are at it, collect all the firmware registers under
fw_reg_ids[] to help implement kvm_arm_get_fw_num_regs() and
kvm_arm_copy_fw_reg_indices() in a generic way.

No functional change intended.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 03/11] KVM: Introduce KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP

Introduce the KVM ARM64 capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP,
to indicate the support for psuedo-firmware bitmap extension.
Each of these registers holds a feature-set exposed to the guest
in the form of a bitmap. If supported, a simple 'read' of the
capability should return the number of psuedo-firmware registers
supported. User-space can utilize this to discover the registers.
It can further explore or modify the features using the classical
GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.

+--------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: arm64
+:Parameters: None
+:Returns: Number of psuedo-firmware registers supported
+
+This capability indicates that KVM for arm64 supports the psuedo-firmware
+register bitmap extension. Each of these registers represent the features
+supported by a particular type in the form of a bitmap. By default, these
+registers are set with the upper limit of the features that are supported.
+
+The registers can be accessed via the standard SET_ONE_REG and KVM_GET_ONE_REG
+interfaces. The user-space is expected to read the number of these registers
+available by reading KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP, read the current bitmap
+configuration via GET_ONE_REG for each register, and then write back the
+desired bitmap of features that it wishes the guest to see via SET_ONE_REG.
+
+Note that KVM doesn't allow the user-space to modify these registers after
+the VM (any of the vCPUs) has started running.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 04/11] KVM: arm64: Setup a framework for hypercall bitmap firmware registers

KVM regularly introduces new hypercall services to the guests without
any consent from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). This means, the
guests can observe hypercall services in and out as they migrate
across various host kernel versions. This could be a major problem
if the guest discovered a hypercall, started using it, and after
getting migrated to an older kernel realizes that it's no longer
available. Depending on how the guest handles the change, there's
a potential chance that the guest would just panic.

As a result, there's a need for the VMM to elect the services that
it wishes the guest to discover. VMM can elect these services based
on the kernels spread across its (migration) fleet. To remedy this,
extend the existing firmware psuedo-registers, such as
KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION, for all the hypercall services available.

These firmware registers are categorized based on the service call
owners, and unlike the existing firmware psuedo-registers, they hold
the features supported in the form of a bitmap.

The capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP, is used to announce
this extension, which returns the number of psuedo-firmware
registers supported. During the VM initialization, the registers
holds an upper-limit of the features supported by the corresponding
registers. It's expected that the VMMs discover the features
provided by each register via GET_ONE_REG, and writeback the
desired values using SET_ONE_REG. KVM allows this modification
only until the VM has started.

Older VMMs can simply ignore the capability and the hypercall services
will be exposed unconditionally to the guests, thus ensuring backward
compatibility.

In this patch, the framework adds the register only for ARM's standard
secure services (owner value 4). Currently, this includes support only
for ARM True Random Number Generator (TRNG) service, with bit-0 of the
register representing mandatory features of v1.0. Other services are
momentarily added in the upcoming patches.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 06/11] KVM: arm64: Add vendor hypervisor firmware register

Introduce the firmware register to hold the vendor specific
hypervisor service calls (owner value 6) as a bitmap. The
bitmap represents the features that'll be enabled for the
guest, as configured by the user-space. Currently, this
includes support only for Precision Time Protocol (PTP),
represented by bit-0.

+Contrary to the above registers, the following registers exposes the hypercall

+A new KVM capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP, is introduced to let

+By default, these registers are set with the upper limit of the features that

Since KVM_RUN on any vCPUs doesn't necessarily mean that the VM
started yet, the name might be a bit misleading IMHO. I would
think 'has_run_once' or 'ran_once' might be more clear (?).

It might be nicer to add a comment why the code below gets kvm->lock.

Anyway, the patch generally looks good to me, and thank you
for making this change (it works for my purpose as well).

I always struggle with the names; but if you feel that 'ran_once'
makes more sense for a reader, I can change it.

I've been going back and forth on this one. Initially I considered
simply going with atomic_t, but the patch 4/11 (KVM: arm64: Setup a
framework for hypercall bitmap firmware registers)
kvm_arm_set_fw_reg_bmap()'s implementation felt like we need a lock to
have the whole 'is the register busy?' operation atomic. But, that's
just one of the applications.

What about live migration, where the VM has already technically been
started before the first call to KVM_RUN?

Please provide context of how the flag will be used. I glanced at the future
patches, and knowing very little about arm, I was unable to glean useful info
about exactly who is being prevented from doing what.

Needs parantheses around (kvm), but why bother with a macro? This is the same
header that defines struct kvm.

If you're going to bother grabbing kvm, replace the instances below that also do
vcpu->kvm.

Please avoid "we", "us", etc..

"vm_started" is also ambiguous. If we end up with a flag, then I would prefer a
much more literal name, a la created_vcpus, e.g. ran_vcpus or something.

This adds unnecessary lock contention when running vCPUs. The naive solution
would be:
if (!kvm->vm_started) {
...
}

Lastly, why is this in generic KVM?

IMHO, instead of including its format of the register in the name,
including its purpose/function in the name might be better.
e.g. KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FEATURE_REG ?
(Feature fields don't necessarily have to be in a bitmap format
if they don't fit well although I'm not sure if we have such fields.)

Looking at patch-4, the return value of this would be the number of
pseudo-firmware *bitmap* registers supported.
BTW, "4.68 KVM_SET_ONE_REG" in the doc uses the word "arm64 firmware
pseudo-registers". It would be nicer to use the same term.

Since even if KVM_RUN fails, and the VM hasn't started yet,
it will get immutable. So, "after any of the vCPUs run KVM_RUN."
might be more clear ?

Looking at the discussion for the v2 series,

https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/[email protected]/

I assume that the number of the pseudo-firmware bitmap registers
will be used to clear pseudo firmware bitmap registers that
userspace doesn't know.
I'm wondering how userspace can identify which pseudo-firmware
registers that KVM_GET_REG_LIST provides are the pseudo-firmware
bitmap registers that it doesn't know.
For instance, suppose pseudo-firmware registers that KVM_GET_REG_LIST
provides are KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(0) to KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(9), userspace
doesn't knows KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(6) to KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(9), and
KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP returns 5, how can userspace identify
remaining two bitmap registers from those 4 (fw-reg #6 to #9)
firmware registers ?

kvm_hvc_call_supported() could return true even for @func_id that
kvm_hvc_call_handler() returns -EINVAL for. Is this behavior what
you really want ?
If so, IMHO the function name might be a bit mis-leading.
"kvm_hvc_call_disabled" (and flip the return value)
might be closer to what it does(?).

Why does it need to hold the lock ? (Wouldn't READ_ONCE be enough ?)

kvm_hvc_call_supported() returns true for any values that are
not explicitly listed in kvm_hvc_call_supported() (i.e. it returns
true even for @func_id that are not any of ARM_SMCCC_TRNG_*).
So, I don't think it can simply use the current kvm_hvc_call_supported.

My understanding is that a new 'struct kvm' is created on the target
machine and this flag should be reset, which would allow the VMM to
restore the firmware registers. However, we would be running KVM_RUN
for the first time on the target machine, thus setting the flag.
So, you are right; It's more of a resume operation from the guest's
point of view. I guess the name of the variable is what's confusing
here.

Thanks,

The v1 of the series originally had it in the arm specific code.
However, I was suggested to move it to the generic code since the book
keeping is not arch specific and could be helpful to others too [1].

Thanks for the review. I'll add your other comments as well.

Well we do have registers, KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION for instance,
that's not covered by this CAP. But sure, I can explicitly add
'FEATURES' to the name. I also wanted to explicitly convey that we are
covering the *bitmapped* firmware registers here. But not sure if
appending 'BMAP' might give an impression that the CAP itself is
bitmapped.
Do you think KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_BMAP_FEAT_REG is better?

I was actually thinking that live migration gives userspace an easy
way to circumvent your restriction. You said, "This state of the VM is
helpful in the upcoming patches to prevent user-space from configuring
certain VM features after the VM has started running." However, if you
don't ensure that these VM features are configured the same way on the
target machine as they were on the source machine, you have not
actually accomplished your stated goal.

I understand why you need the code to get the lock here with the
current implementation.
But, since the code just set the one field (vm_started) with the lock,
I thought the intention of getting the lock might not be so obvious.
(But, maybe clear enough looking at the code in the patch-4)

In v3, we leave the decision upto the userspace. If the userspace
encounters a register that it's unaware, it can choose either to clear
it or let it get exposed to the guest as is (see the code snipped
shared by Andrew in the link).
Trying to understand the question better- are you asking how would
userspace distinguish between bitmap and regular fw registers with
intermixed sequence numbers?
If yes, do you foresee a reason why they 'unaware' registers needed to
be treated differently?

Yes. My idea was to let kvm_hvc_call_supported() check for the
support, while kvm_hvc_call_handler() does the real processing of the
call.

Sorry, I'm unclear how flipping is helping. Wouldn't we return 'false'
if we don't have a case for the func_id, indicating it's NOT disabled,
but kvm_hvc_call_handler() can still return SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED?

I don't have much experience with READ_ONCE at this point, but do you

You are right. Probably I should leave the case statements as is (or

Please do. In the future, don't use a macro unless there's a good reason to do
so. Don't get me wrong, I love abusing macros, but for things like this they are
completely inferior to

static inline bool kvm_vm_has_started(struct kvm *kvm)
{
return kvm->vm_started;
}

because a helper function gives us type safety, doesn't suffer from concatenation
of tokens potentially doing weird things, is easier to extend to a multi-line
implementation, etc...

An example of when it's ok to use a macro is x86's

#define kvm_arch_vcpu_memslots_id(vcpu) ((vcpu)->arch.hflags & HF_SMM_MASK ? 1 : 0)

which uses a macro instead of a proper function to avoid a circular dependency
due to arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h being included by include/linux/kvm_host.h
and thus x86's implementation of kvm_arch_vcpu_memslots_id() coming before the
definition of struct kvm_vcpu. But that's very much an exception and done only
because the alternatives suck more.

In your proposed patch, KVM_RUN will take kvm->lock _every_ time. That introduces
unnecessary contention as it will serialize this bit of code if multiple vCPUs
are attempting KVM_RUN. By checking !vm_started, only the "first" KVM_RUN for a
VM will acquire kvm->lock and thus avoid contention once the VM is up and running.
There's still a possibility that multiple vCPUs will contend for kvm->lock on their
first KVM_RUN, hence the quotes. I called it "naive" because it's possible there's
a more elegant solution depending on the use case, e.g. a lockless approach might
work (or it might not).

I'm definitely in favor of moving/adding thing to generic KVM when it makes sense,
but I'm skeptical in this particular case. The code _is_ arch specific in that
arm64 apparently needs to acquire kvm->lock when checking if a vCPU has run, e.g.
versus a hypothetical x86 use case that might be completely ok with a lockless
implementation. And it's not obvious that there's a plausible, safe use case
outside of arm64, e.g. on x86, there is very, very little that is truly shared
across the entire VM/system, most things are per-thread/core/package in some way,
shape, or form. In other words, I'm a wary of providing something like this for
x86 because odds are good that any use will be functionally incorrect.

I've been going back and forth on this. I've seen a couple of
variables declared in the generic struct and used only in the arch
code. vcpu->valid_wakeup for instance, which is used only by s390
arch. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way as to what can and can't
go in the generic kvm code.

Isn't that up to the VMM to save/restore and validate the registers
across migrations?
Perhaps I have to re-word my intentions for the patch- userspace
should be able to configure the registers before issuing the first
KVM_RUN.

Yes, that makes sense. I think the name created a lot of confusion for

Don't know, but that's my point. Without a consumer in generic KVM and due to
my lack of arm64 knowledge, without a high-level description of how the flag will
be used by arm64, it's really difficult to determine what's safe and what's not.
For other architectures, it's an impossible question to answer because we don't
know how the flag might be used.

> use atomic_t maybe for this?

No. An atomic_t is generally useful only if there are multiple writers that can
possibly write different values. It's highly unlikely that simply switching to an
atomic address the needs of arm64.

Ya, valid_wakeup is an oddball, I don't know why it's in kvm_vcpu instead of
arch code that's wrapped with e.g. kvm_arch_vcpu_valid_wakeup().

That said, valid_wakeup is consumed by generic KVM, i.e. has well defined semantics
for how it is used, so it's purely a "this code is rather odd" issue. vm_started
on the other hand is only produced by generic KVM, and so its required semantics are
unclear.

Yes, just as it is up to userspace not to make bad configuration
changes after the first VMRUN.

Perhaps it would help if you explained *why* you are doing this. It
sounds like you are either trying to protect against a malicious
userspace, or you are trying to keep userspace from doing something
stupid. In general, kvm only enforces constraints that are necessary
to protect the host. If that's what you're doing, I don't understand
why live migration doesn't provide an end-run around your protections.

Yes, that's my question.

Since I'm not sure what the specification of 'unaware' (non-bitmap)
registers will be, it would be safer for us to assume that they might
need to be treated differently from the bitmap registers.
Considering there is KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION, which KVM doesn't allow
userspace to set to 0, there might be similar registers that userspace
cannot set to 0 in the future.

BTW, If you assume that all those 'unaware' firmware registers are
treated in the same way, I don't think userspace needs the number of
those bitmap registers from KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP (Instead,
I would think it can handle the 'unaware' registers with a list of
firmware registers from KVM_GET_REG_LIST).

Yes, that's fine, too.
Since those services are disabled (because they are enabled by default),
I just thought checking 'disabled' might be closer to what it does than
checking 'enabled'. But, 'enabled' is also fine.

If kvm_arm_set_fw_reg_bmap is changed to use WRITE_ONCE to
update hvc_desc->hvc_*_bmap (kvm_arm_set_fw_reg_bmap still needs
to get the lock to prevent other vCPUs from running KVM_RUN),
I would think using READ_ONCE in kvm_arm_get_fw_reg_bmap() without
getting the lock should work (will see either old or new value).

You are right; mixing these registers would create an issue for the
VMM. Instead, we can probably have a subset of the KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG
space dedicated for the bitmapped firmware registers, something like:

#define KVM_REG_ARM_FW_BMAP_BASE KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(0xff00) /*
Upper half of the fw reg space */
#define KVM_REG_ARM_FW_BMAP_REG(r) (KVM_REG_ARM_FW_BMAP_BASE | (r))

#define KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BMAP KVM_REG_ARM_FW_BMAP_REG(0)

With this, I think the VMM can easily detect a bitmap fw register.
Also, if it encounters an unknown bitmapped register it can handle it
separately if it likes.
The minor advantage of the CAP still returning the number of bitmapped
registers can be an inexpensive shortcut to VMM to get a general idea
of the number of registers.

Understood. I'll move it to arm64 and we can refactor it if there's a
need for any other arch(s).

Before you do that, can you answer Jim's question on _why_ arm64 needs this?

It's mainly to safeguard the guests. With respect to migration, KVM
and the userspace are collectively playing a role here. It's up to the
userspace to ensure that the registers are configured the same across
migrations and KVM ensures that the userspace doesn't modify the
registers after KVM_RUN so that they don't see features turned OFF/ON
during execution. I'm not sure if it falls into the definition of
protecting the host. Do you see a value in adding this extra
protection from KVM?

Short answer: probably not?

There is precedent for disallowing userspace from doing stupid things, but that's
either for KVM's protection (as Jim pointed out), or because KVM can't honor the
change, e.g. x86 is currently in the process of disallowing most CPUID changes
after KVM_RUN because KVM itself consumes the CPUID information and KVM doesn't
support updating some of it's own internal state (because removing features like
GB hugepage support is nonsensical and would require a large pile of complicated,
messy code).

Restricing CPUID changes does offer some "protection" to the guest, but that's
not the goal. E.g. KVM won't detect CPUID misconfiguration in the migration
case, and trying to do so is a fool's errand.

If restricting updates in the arm64 is necessary to ensure KVM provides sane
behavior, then it could be justified. But if it's purely a sanity check on
behalf of the guest, then it's not justified.

Agreed that KVM doesn't really safeguard the guests, but just curious,
is there really a downside in adding this thin layer of safety check?
On the bright side, the guests would be safe, and it could save the
developers some time in hunting down the bugs in this path, no?

It's more stuff that KVM has to maintain, creates an ABI that KVM must adhere to,
potentially creates inconsistencies in KVM, and prevents using KVM to intentionally
do stupid things to test scenarios that are "impossible". And we also try to avoid
defining arbitrary CPU behavior in KVM (that may not be the case here).

Yes, but that can be said for lots and lots of things. This is both a slippery
slope argument and the inconsistency argument above, e.g. if KVM actively prevents
userspace from doing X, why doesn't KVM prevent userspace from doing Y? Having a
decently defined rule for these types of things, e.g. protect KVM/kernel and adhere
to the architecture but otherwise let userspace do whatever, avoids spending too
much time arguing over what KVM should/shouldn't allow, or wondering why on earth
KVM does XYZ, at least in theory :-)

There are certainly times where KVM could have saved userspace some pain, but
overall I do think KVM is better off staying out of the way when possible.

I have another comment for kvm_arm_get_fw_reg_bmap.

I just noticed that @fw_reg_bmap is a value of the bitmap register
(not a pointer). I believe what you meant was a pointer to
hvc_desc->hvc_*_bmap. Also, you can remove @val and return the register
value instead (change the type of the return value from void to u64).
I'm not sure if you will keep this function in the next version though.

The pseudo firmware hvc registers, which this series are adding, are
used by KVM to identify available hvc features for the guest, and not
directly exposed to the guest as registers.
The ways the KVM code in the series consumes the registers' values are
very limited, and no KVM data/state is created based on their values.
But, as the code that consumes the registers grows in the future,
I wouldn't be surprised if KVM consumes them differently than it does
now (e.g. create another data structure based on the register values).
I'm not sure though :)

The restriction, with which KVM doesn't need to worry about the changes
in the registers after KVM_RUN, could potentially protect or be useful
to protect KVM and simplify future changes/maintenance of the KVM codes
that consumes the values.
I thought this was one of the reasons for having the restriction.

Well, that wasn't the original intention of the patch, but just to
protect the guests from the userspace's dynamic updates. Having said
that, and based on what Sean mentioned in his last reply, it could be
inconsistent from what KVM has been doing so far and would be
difficult to cover all the scenarios that userspace can mess things up
for guests.
I'll plan to drop this patch in the next version, and bring it back
back to arm64 if we really need it.

That sort of protection is definitely welcome, the previously mentioned CPUID mess
on x86 would have benefit greatly by KVM being restrictive in the past. That said,
hooking KVM_RUN is likely the wrong way to go about implementing any restrictions.
Running a vCPU is where much of the vCPU's state is explicitly consumed, but it's
all too easy for KVM to implicity/indirectly consume state via a different ioctl(),
e.g. if there are side effects that are visible in other registers, than an update
can also be visible to userspace via KVM_{G,S}ET_{S,}REGS, at which point disallowing
modifying state after KVM_RUN but not after reading/writing regs is arbitrary and
inconsitent.

If possible, preventing modification if kvm->created_vcpus > 0 is ideal as it's
a relatively common pattern in KVM, and provides a clear boundary to userpace
regarding what is/isn't allowed.

Haven't gone through the series but I wonder whether it's better to have
a (e)BPF filter for this like seccomp.

Thank you for your comments !
I think I understand your concern, and that's a great point.
That's not the case for those pseudo registers though at least for now :)
BTW, is this concern specific to hooking KVM_RUN ? (Wouldn't it be the
same for the option with "if kvm->created_vcpus > 0" ?)

Yes, I agree that would be better in general. For (pseudo) registers,
I would think preventing modification if kvm->created_vcpus > 0 might
not be a very good option for KVM/ARM though considering usage of
KVM_GET_REG_LIST and KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG.

No, please. This has to fit in the save/restore model, and should be
under control of the VMM. If you want to filter things using seccomp,
that's fine, but also that's completely orthogonal.

Not really? The goal with created_vcpus is to avoid having inconsistent state in
"struct kvm_vcpu" with respect to the VM as whole. "struct kvm" obvioulsy can't
be inconsistent with itself, e.g. even if userspace consumes some side effect,
that's simply "the state". Did that make sense? Hard to explain in writing :-)

What exactly are these pseudo registers? If it's something that's an immutable
property of the (virtual) system, then it might make sense to use a separate,
non-vCPU mechanism for setting/getting their values. Then you can easily restrict
the <whatever> to pre-created_vcpus, e.g. see x86's KVM_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR.

In general, these pseudo-registers are reserved non-architectural
register spaces, currently being used to represent KVM-as-a-firmware's
versioning across guests' migrations [1]. That is, the user-space
configures these registers for the guests to see same 'firmware'
versions before and after migrations. The model is built over the
existing KVM_GET_REG_LIST and KVM_[SET|GET]_ONE_REG APIs. Since this
series' efforts falls into the same realm, the idea was keep this
consistent with the existing model to which VMMs (such as QEMU) are
already used to.

Granted, even though these registers should technically be immutable,
there was no similar protection employed for the existing
psuedo-registers. I was wondering if that could be of any value if we
start providing one; But I guess not, since it may break the
user-space's expectations of KVM (and probably why we didn't have it
earlier).

We provide quite a lot of CPU emulation based on the feature
registers exposed to the guest. Allowing userspace to change this
stuff once the guest is running is a massive attack vector.

No. This is about preventing userspace from tripping the kernel into
doing things it really shouldn't by flipping bits of configuration
that should be set in stone.

No, that's way too late. The configuration is in general per-CPU, and
I really don't want to expand the surface of the userspace API to
allow all sort of magic trick depending on the nature of what you
save/restore.

The "first run" crap is already there. We have it on a per-CPU basis,
and we need it at the VM level for other reasons (see the recent
discussion about PMU filtering vs binding to a specific PMU
implementation).
