Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/4] KVM: arm64: GICv4.1: Try to save hw pending state in save_pending_tables

After pausing all vCPUs and devices capable of interrupting, in order
to save the information of all interrupts, besides flushing the pending
states in kvm’s vgic, we also try to flush the states of VLPIs in the
virtual pending tables into guest RAM, but we need to have GICv4.1 and
safely unmap the vPEs first.

What if the VPEs are not mapped yet? Is it possible to snapshot a VM
that has not run at all?

You don't check the return value here, so I wonder why the checks
in vgic_v4_get_vlpi_state().

Another thing that worries me is that vgic_v4_get_vlpi_state() doesn't
have any cache invalidation, and can end-up hitting in the CPU cache
(there is no guarantee of coherency between the GIC and the CPU, only
that the GIC will have flushed its caches).

I'd expect this to happen at unmap time, though, in order to avoid
repeated single byte invalidations.

More questions: what happens to vSGIs that were mapped to the VPEs?
Can they safely be restarted? The spec is not saying much on the
subject.

Once the unmap has taken place, it won't be possible to read their state
via GICR_VSGIRPEND, and only the memory state can be used. This probably
needs to be tracked as well.

Thanks,

M.

What I see in QEMU is that the saving of the pending tables would only be
called when stopping the VM and it needs the current VM state to be RUNNING.

Since I have already checked the condition and reported in save_its_tables
(patch 4), I just check in get_vlpi_state and don't report again here.

Ok, I will add a cache invalidation at unmap time.

Sure, but that's what QEMU does, and a different userspace could well do
something different. It looks to me that I should be able to start (or
even restore) a guest, and snapshot it immediately. Here, I'm pretty
sure this wouldn't do the right thing (I have the suspicion that the

time, though I haven't investigated it to be sure).

Sure, but why the checks and the return value then? I'd rather you check
all
the relevant conditions in one place.

I guess a sensible place to do that would be at deactivation time.
I came up with the following hack, completely untested.

If that works for you, I'll turn it into a proper patch that you
can carry with the series (I may turn it into a __inval_dcache_area
call if I can find the equivalent 32bit).

Thanks,

Since we have already paused all vCPUs, there would be no more vSGIs generated,
and also no vSGI would be delivered to the vPE. And the unmapping of the
vPE would not affect the (already) stored vSGI states... I think they could
be safely restarted.

Yes, since we will map the vPEs back, could we assume that the saving of the
vLPI and vSGI states happen serially? In fact that's what QEMU does.

If we can't rely on the userspace, could we check whether it is allowed
(at the right time) before the unmapping? Maybe have a look at vmapp_count?
Although I think snapshot a VM that has not been started is almost impossible...

Yeah, it seems that the return value is unnecessary, I can change vgic_v4_get_vlpi_state()
to be void. And does the check in one place mean that we check all the relevant
conditions at the beginning of vgic_v3_save_pending_tables (in unmap_all_vpes())
and set a variable maybe called hw_avail?
