[PATCH v10 08/11] KVM: x86/pmu: Add LBR feature emulation via guest LBR event
From: Like Xu
Date: Thu Apr 23 2020 - 04:18:06 EST
VMX transition is much more frequent than vcpu switching, and saving/
restoring tens of LBR msrs (e.g. 32 LBR records entries) brings too much
overhead to the frequent vmx transition itself, which is not necessary.
So the guest LBR records only gets saved/restored on the vcpu context
switching via the help of native LBR event callstack mechanism. Generally,
the LBR-related msrs and its functionality are emulated in this way:
The guest first access on the LBR related msrs (including DEBUGCTLMSR
and records msrs) is always interceptible. The KVM handler would create
a guest LBR event which enables the callstack mode and none of hardware
counter is assigned. The host perf would enable and schedule this event
as usual but in an exclusive way.
When the guest LBR event exists and the LBR stack is available (defined
as 'event->oncpu != -1'), the LBR records msrs access would not be
intercepted but pass-through to the vcpu before vm-entry. This kind
of availability check is always performed before vm-entry, but as late
as possible to avoid reclaiming resources from any higher priority event.
A negative check result would bring the registers interception back, and
it also prevents real registers accesses and potential data leakage.
At this point, vPMU only supports Architecture v2 and the guest needs
to re-enable LBR via DEBUGCTLMSR in the guest PMI handler. The guest
LBR event will be released when the vPMU is reset but soon, the lazy
release mechanism would be applied to this event like a regular vPMC.
