When I introduced a static key to avoid work in the critical path for
userspace irqchips which is very rarely used, I accidentally messed up
my logic and used && where I should have used ||, because the point was
to short-circuit the evaluation in case userspace irqchips weren't even
in use.
This fixes an issue when running in-kernel irqchip VMs alongside
userspace irqchip VMs.

After the recently introduced support for level-triggered mapped
interrupt, I accidentally left the VCPU thread busily going back and
forward between the guest and the hypervisor whenever the guest was
blocking, because I would always incorrectly report that a timer
interrupt was pending.
This is because the timer->irq.level field is not valid for mapped
interrupts, where we offload the level state to the hardware, and as a
result this field is always true.
Luckily the problem can be relatively easily solved by not checking the
cached signal state of either timer in kvm_timer_should_fire() but
instead compute the timer state on the fly, which we do already if the
cached signal state wasn't high. In fact, the only reason for checking
the cached signal state was a tiny optimization which would only be
potentially faster when the polling loop detects a pending timer
interrupt, which is quite unlikely.
Instead of duplicating the logic from kvm_arch_timer_handler(), we
enlighten kvm_timer_should_fire() to report something valid when the
timer state is loaded onto the hardware. We can then call this from
kvm_arch_timer_handler() as well and avoid the call to
__timer_snapshot_state() in kvm_arch_timer_get_input_level().

We currently check if the VM has a userspace irqchip in several places
along the critical path, and if so, we do some work which is only
required for having an irqchip in userspace. This is unfortunate, as we
could avoid doing any work entirely, if we didn't have to support
irqchip in userspace.
Realizing the userspace irqchip on ARM is mostly a developer or hobby
feature, and is unlikely to be used in servers or other scenarios where
performance is a priority, we can use a refcounted static key to only
check the irqchip configuration when we have at least one VM that uses
an irqchip in userspace.

The VGIC can now support the life-cycle of mapped level-triggered
interrupts, and we no longer have to read back the timer state on every
exit from the VM if we had an asserted timer interrupt signal, because
the VGIC already knows if we hit the unlikely case where the guest
disables the timer without ACKing the virtual timer interrupt.
This means we rework a bit of the code to factor out the functionality
to snapshot the timer state from vtimer_save_state(), and we can reuse
this functionality in the sync path when we have an irqchip in
userspace, and also to support our implementation of the
get_input_level() function for the timer.
This change also means that we can no longer rely on the timer's view of
the interrupt line to set the active state, because we no longer
maintain this state for mapped interrupts when exiting from the guest.
Instead, we only set the active state if the virtual interrupt is
active, and otherwise we simply let the timer fire again and raise the
virtual interrupt from the ISR.

The timer logic was designed after a strict idea of modeling an
interrupt line level in software, meaning that only transitions in the
level need to be reported to the VGIC. This works well for the timer,
because the arch timer code is in complete control of the device and can
track the transitions of the line.
However, as we are about to support using the HW bit in the VGIC not
just for the timer, but also for VFIO which cannot track transitions of
the interrupt line, we have to decide on an interface between the GIC
and other subsystems for level triggered mapped interrupts, which both
the timer and VFIO can use.
VFIO only sees an asserting transition of the physical interrupt line,
and tells the VGIC when that happens. That means that part of the
interrupt flow is offloaded to the hardware.
To use the same interface for VFIO devices and the timer, we therefore
have to change the timer (we cannot change VFIO because it doesn't know
the details of the device it is assigning to a VM).
Luckily, changing the timer is simple, we just need to stop 'caching'
the line level, but instead let the VGIC know the state of the timer
every time there is a potential change in the line level, and when the
line level should be asserted from the timer ISR. The VGIC can ignore
extra notifications using its validate mechanism.

the timer ISR runs even after the timer has been disabled.
This requires a couple of changes:
First, we should never overwrite the cached guest state of the timer
control register when the ISR runs, because KVM may have disabled its
timers when doing vcpu_put(), even though the guest still had the timer
enabled.
Second, we shouldn't assume that the timer is actually firing just
because we see an interrupt, but we should check the actual state of the
timer in the timer control register to understand if the hardware timer
is really firing or not.
We also add an ISB to vtimer_save_state() to ensure the timer is
actually disabled once we enable interrupts, which should clarify the

The second case is inside the wait loop of kvm_vcpu_block(), where we

be disabled and the software view of the timer state is up to date
(timer->loaded is false), and so we can simply check if the timer should

We don't need to save and restore the hardware timer state and examine
if it generates interrupts on on every entry/exit to the guest. The
timer hardware is perfectly capable of telling us when it has expired
by signaling interrupts.
When taking a vtimer interrupt in the host, we don't want to mess with
the timer configuration, we just want to forward the physical interrupt
to the guest as a virtual interrupt. We can use the split priority drop
and deactivate feature of the GIC to do this, which leaves an EOI'ed
interrupt active on the physical distributor, making sure we don't keep
taking timer interrupts which would prevent the guest from running. We
can then forward the physical interrupt to the VM using the HW bit in
the LR of the GIC, like we do already, which lets the guest directly
deactivate both the physical and virtual timer simultaneously, allowing
the timer hardware to exit the VM and generate a new physical interrupt
when the timer output is again asserted later on.
We do need to capture this state when migrating VCPUs between physical
CPUs, however, which we use the vcpu put/load functions for, which are
called through preempt notifiers whenever the thread is scheduled away
from the CPU or called directly if we return from the ioctl to
userspace.
One caveat is that we have to save and restore the timer state in both
kvm_timer_vcpu_[put/load] and kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule], because
we can have the following flows:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
3. schedule
4. kvm_timer_vcpu_put (preempt notifier)
5. schedule (vcpu thread gets scheduled back)
6. kvm_timer_vcpu_load (preempt notifier)
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
And a version where we don't actually call schedule:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
Since kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule] may not be followed by put/load,
but put/load also may be called independently, we call the timer
save/restore functions from both paths. Since they rely on the loaded
flag to never save/restore when unnecessary, this doesn't cause any
harm, and we ensure that all invokations of either set of functions work
as intended.
An added benefit beyond not having to read and write the timer sysregs
on every entry and exit is that we no longer have to actively write the
active state to the physical distributor, because we configured the
irq for the vtimer to only get a priority drop when handling the
interrupt in the GIC driver (we called irq_set_vcpu_affinity()), and
the interrupt stays active after firing on the host.

This works by ensuring that before we enter the guest, if the timer
output level has changed compared to what we last told userspace, we
don't enter the guest, but instead return to userspace to notify it of
the new level. If we are exiting, because of an MMIO for example, and
the level changed at the same time, the value is also updated and
userspace can sample the line as it needs. This is nicely achieved
simply always updating the timer_irq_level field after the main run
loop.
Note that the kvm_timer_update_irq trace event is changed to show the
host IRQ number for the timer instead of the guest IRQ number, because

switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE ==
1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution.
So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

When a VCPU blocks (WFI) and has programmed the vtimer, we program a
soft timer to expire in the future to wake up the vcpu thread when
appropriate. Because such as wake up involves a vcpu kick, and the
timer expire function can get called from interrupt context, and the
kick may sleep, we have to schedule the kick in the work function.
The work function currently has a warning that gets raised if it turns
out that the timer shouldn't fire when it's run, which was added because
the idea was that in that case the work should never have been cancelled.
However, it turns out that this whole thing is racy and we can get
spurious warnings. The problem is that we clear the armed flag in the
work function, which may run in parallel with the
kvm_timer_unschedule->timer_disarm() call. This results in a possible
situation where the timer_disarm() call does not call
cancel_work_sync(), which effectively synchronizes the completion of the
work function with running the VCPU. As a result, the VCPU thread
proceeds before the work function completees, causing changes to the
timer state such that kvm_timer_should_fire(vcpu) returns false in the
work function.
All we do in the work function is to kick the VCPU, and an occasional
rare extra kick never harmed anyone. Since the race above is extremely
rare, we don't bother checking if the race happens but simply remove the
check and the clearing of the armed flag from the work function.

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
timers/timekeeping.
- Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
helpful and caused more confusion than clarity
- Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
some time ago.
That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.
Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
manual mopping up"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
ktime: Get rid of ktime_equal()
ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage
ktime: Get rid of the union
clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t
There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.
Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

-typedef u64 cycle_t;
@fix@

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.
Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

When the arch timer code fails to initialize (for example because the
memory mapped timer doesn't work, which is currently seen with the AEM
model), then KVM just continues happily with a final result that KVM
eventually does a NULL pointer dereference of the uninitialized cycle
counter.
Check directly for this in the init path and give the user a reasonable
error in this case.

1) Since commit:41a54482 changed timer enabled variable to per-vcpu,
the correlative comment in kvm_timer_enable is useless now.
2) After the kvm module init successfully, the timecounter is always
non-null, so we can remove the checking of timercounter.
