[PATCH v9 00/28] KVM: x86/pmu: selftests: Fixes and new tests

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Dec 01 2023 - 19:04:25 EST


Yet another version of fixes and tests for PMU counters. New in v9 is a
fix for priority inversion of #GP vs. VM-Exit on Intel when KVM fully
emulates a RDPMC with a "bad" index. For all intents and purposes, this
priority inversion triggered the WARN in v8[*], which is why I included
the fix in this series (and because the fix would conflict horribly).

Dapeng, I dropped one of your reviews (patch "Disallow "fast" RDPMC for
architectural Intel PMUs) as the patch ended up being quite different after
eliminating the early RDPMC index check.

v9:
- Collect reviews. [Dapeng, Kan]
- Fix a 63:31 => 63:32 typo in a changelog. [Dapeng]
- Actually check that forced emulation is enabled before trying to force
emulation on RDPMC. [Jinrong]
- Fix the aformentioned priority inversion issue.
- Completely drop "support" for fast RDPMC, in quotes because KVM doesn't
actually support RDPMC for non-architectural PMUs. I had left the code
in v8 because I didn't fully grok what the early emulator check was
doing, i.e. wasn't 100% confident it was dead code.

v8:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231110021306.1269082-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Collect reviews. [Jim, Dapeng, Kan]
- Tweak names for the RDPMC flags in the selftests #defines.
- Get the event selectors used to virtualize fixed straight from perf
instead of hardcoding the (wrong) selectors in KVM. [Kan]
- Rename an "eventsel" field to "event" for a patch that gets blasted
away in the end anyways. [Jim]
- Add patches to fix RDPMC emulation and to test the behavior on Intel.
I spot tested on AMD and spent ~30 minutes trying to squeeze in the
bare minimum AMD support, but the PMU implementations between Intel
and AMD are juuuust different enough to make adding AMD support non-
trivial, and this series is already way too big.

v7:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231108003135.546002-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Drop patches that unnecessarily sanitized supported CPUID. [Jim]
- Purge the array of architectural event encodings. [Jim, Dapeng]
- Clean up pmu.h to remove useless macros, and make it easier to use the
new macros. [Jim]
- Port more of pmu_event_filter_test.c to pmu.h macros. [Jim, Jinrong]
- Clean up test comments and error messages. [Jim]
- Sanity check the value provided to vcpu_set_cpuid_property(). [Jim]

v6:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231104000239.367005-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Test LLC references/misses with CFLUSH{OPT}. [Jim]
- Make the tests play nice without PERF_CAPABILITIES. [Mingwei]
- Don't squash eventsels that happen to match an unsupported arch event. [Kan]
- Test PMC counters with forced emulation (don't ask how long it took me to
figure out how to read integer module params).

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231024002633.2540714-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230911114347.85882-1-cloudliang@xxxxxxxxxxx
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20230814115108.45741-1-cloudliang@xxxxxxxxxxx
