From: Like Xu <[email protected]>
Per Intel SDM, fixed-function performance counter 'i' is supported if:
FxCtr[i]_is_supported := ECX[i] || (EDX[4:0] > i);
which means that the KVM user space can use EDX to limit the number of
fixed counters and at the same time, using ECX to enable part of other
KVM supported fixed counters.
Add a bitmap (instead of always checking the vcpu's CPUIDs) to keep track
of the guest available fixed counters and perform the semantic checks.

Why add a new bitmap? all_valid_pmc_idx is a strict superset, no?

Please keep the variable declarations in the loop (I've had to eat my words about
variable shadowing), e.g. to prevent accessing new_ctrl or old_ctrl after the loop.

Side topic, isn't KVM missing a bitmap_zero() on all_valid_pmc_idx?

Leaving nr_arch_fixed_counters set to kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed seems odd.
E.g. if userspace reduces the number of counters to 1, shouldn't that be reflected
in the PMU metadata?
Ah, you did that so the iteration works. That's super confusing. And silly,
because in the end, pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters is just kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed.
THis holds true:
BUILD_BUG_ON(ARRAY_SIZE(fixed_pmc_events) != KVM_PMC_MAX_FIXED);
and KVM does this
kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed = min(kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed,
KVM_PMC_MAX_FIXED);
ergo the above min_t() is a nop.
One option would be to just use kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed, but I think it
makes more sense to use for_each_set_bit(), or perhaps for_each_set_bitrange_from()
if all_valid_pmc_idx is used.
And then end up with something like so:
static bool intel_is_valid_rdpmc_ecx(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, unsigned int idx)
{
struct kvm_pmu *pmu = vcpu_to_pmu(vcpu);
bool fixed = idx & (1u << 30);
idx &= ~(3u << 30);
return fixed ? fixed_ctr_is_supported(pmu, idx)
: idx < pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters;
}
static struct kvm_pmc *intel_rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
unsigned int idx, u64 *mask)
{
struct kvm_pmu *pmu = vcpu_to_pmu(vcpu);
bool fixed = idx & (1u << 30);
struct kvm_pmc *counters;
unsigned int num_counters;
if (!intel_is_valid_rdpmc_ecx(vcpu, idx))
return NULL;
idx &= ~(3u << 30);
if (fixed) {
counters = pmu->fixed_counters;
num_counters = kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_fixed;
} else {
counters = pmu->gp_counters;
num_counters = pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters;
}
*mask &= pmu->counter_bitmask[fixed ? KVM_PMC_FIXED : KVM_PMC_GP];
return &counters[array_index_nospec(idx, num_counters)];
}

This is true only when pmu->version >= 5.
From the SDM, volume 3, section 20.2.5 Architectural Performance
Monitoring Version 5:
With Architectural Performance Monitoring Version 5, register
CPUID.0AH.ECX indicates Fixed Counter enumeration. It is a bit mask
which enumerates the supported Fixed Counters in a processor. If bit
'i' is set, it implies that Fixed Counter 'i' is supported. Software
is recommended to use the following logic to check if a Fixed Counter
is supported on a given processor: FxCtr[i]_is_supported := ECX[i] ||
(EDX[4:0] > i);
Prior to PMU version 5, all fixed counters from 0 through <number of

This is true in for "Version 5" section, but not mentioned in the CPUID.0xA section.
I would argue that this is a deliberate omission for the instruction implementation,
as it does use the word "version>1" in the near CPUID.0xA.EDX section.
For virtualised use, this feature offers a kind of flexibility as users can
enable part of
the fixed counters, don't you think? Or maybe you're more looking forward to the
patch set that raises the vPMU version number from 2 to 5, that part of the code
was already in my tree some years ago.

Do you have any evidence to support such an argument? The CPUID field
in question was not defined prior to PMU version 5. (Does anyone from
Intel want to chime in?)

I would not be surprised if a guest OS checked for PMU version 5
before consulting the CPUID fields defined in PMU version 5. Does
Linux even consult the fixed counter bitmask field today?
I'd love to see KVM virtualize PMU version 5!

Yes, this is how host perf developer do it:
if (version >= 5)
x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed = fls(fixed_mask);
based on real fresh hardware (always marked as the latest version).
However, our KVM players can construct different valid CPUIDs, as long as the
hardware is capable,
to emulate some vPMU devices that match the CPUID semantics but do not exist in
the real world.
In the virtualisation world, use cases like "version 2 + fixed ctrs bit mask"
are perfectly possible
and should work as expected. One more case, if the forth fixed counter or more
is enabled in your guest for top-down feature and you may still find the guest's
pmu version number is stuck at 2.
This naturally does not occur in real hardware but no CPUID semantics here are
broken.
As I'm sure you've noticed, the logical relationship between CPUID.0xA.ECX and
PMU version 5
is necessary but not sufficient. Version 5 mush has fixed counters bit mask but
the reverse is not true.
From the end user's point of view, destroying the flexibility of vHW
combinations is a design failure.
So I think we can implement this feature in guest version 2, what do you think ?

This is completely irrelevant to the current discussion. Nowhere is it
documented that the number of fixed counters has a specific value for
any given PMU version. However, it *is* documented that the fixed
counter availability bitmask is introduced in PMU version 5. Surely,
you understand the difference.

The reverse most certainly is true. You are, as is your wont, making
stuff up again.

How does the userspace VMM query the capability? Certainly, if
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID returns a PMU version >= 5, then this bitmap
is supported. But for PMU version 2, up until now, the bitmap has not
been supported.
And do you expect the guest OS to check for the HYPERVISOR bit and the
KVMKVMKVM signature to determine whether or not this bitmap is
meaningful for PMU versions < 5?
