[RFC PATCH] hw/arm/virt: Support NMI injection
Posted by Gavin Shan 4 years, 3 months ago
This supports NMI injection for virtual machine and currently it's only
supported on GICv3 controller, which is emulated by qemu or host kernel.
The design is highlighted as below:

   * The NMI is identified by its priority (0x20). In the guest (linux)
     kernel, the GICC_PMR is set to 0x80, to block all interrupts except
     the NMIs when the external interrupt is disabled. It means the FIQ
     and IRQ bit in PSTATE isn't touched when the functionality (NMI) is
     functional.
   * LPIs aren't considered as NMIs because of their nature. It means NMI
     is either SPI or PPI. Besides, the NMIs are injected in round-robin
     fashion is there are multiple NMIs existing.
   * When the GICv3 controller is emulated by qemu, the interrupt states
     (e.g. enabled, priority) is fetched from the corresponding data struct
     directly. However, we have to pause all CPUs to fetch the interrupt
     states from host in advance if the GICv3 controller is emulated by
     host.

The testing scenario is to tweak guest (linux) kernel where the pl011 SPI
can be enabled as NMI by request_nmi(). Check "/proc/interrupts" after injecting
several NMIs, to see if the interrupt count is increased or not. The result
is just as expected.

So, QEMU is trying to emulate actual hardware. None of this
looks to me like what GICv3 hardware does... If you want to
have the virt board send an interrupt, do it the usual way
by wiring up a qemu_irq from some device to the GIC, please.
(More generally, there is no concept of an "NMI" in the GIC;
there are just interrupts at varying possible guest-programmable
priority levels.)

Peter, I missed to read your reply in time and apologies for late response.

Yes, there is no concept of "NMI" in the GIC from hardware perspective.
However, NMI has been supported from the software by kernel commit
bc3c03ccb4641 ("arm64: Enable the support of pseudo-NMIs"). The NMIs
have higher priority than normal ones. NMIs are deliverable after
local_irq_disable() because the SYS_ICC_PMR_EL1 is tweaked so that
normal interrupts are masked only.

It's unclear about the purpose of "nmi" QMP/HMP command. It's why I
put a RFC tag. The command has been supported by multiple architects
including x86/ppc. However, they are having different behaviors. The
system will be restarted on ppc with this command, but a NMI is injected
through LAPIC on x86. So I'm not sure what architect (system reset on
ppc or injecting NMI on x86) aarch64 should follow.

Thanks,
Gavin

arm_pmu driver was reworked to use pseudo-NMIs. I don't know the exact
status of this work though
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11047407/). So we cannot use any
random NMI for guest injection.

I wonder whether we should implement the KVM_NMI vcpu ioctl once we have
agreed on which behavior is expected upon NMI injection. However the
kernel doc says this ioctl only is well defined if "KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
has not been called" (?).

And none of that is an NMI. This is a completely SW-defined mechanism,
and you can't rely on this to inject something that would behave as
a NMI in in a guest. I thought the "pseudo" prefix would give it away 
:-(.

The x86 NMI has no equivalent on ARM, full stop. And the only thing that
the ARM implementation should follow is the letter of the architecture,
without added concepts.

But what architectural concept would you map your KVM_NMI to? The number
of things you can do is pretty limited:

- Reset: we already have this
- Interrupt: you don't get to decide the priority or the group
- SError: Pretty much fatal in all cases

You *could* try something like SDEI [1], but that's a pretty terrible
interface too.

Thank you for the pointer.

So Gavin, not sure the QEMU QMP/HMP NMI command is relevant on ARM (at
least at this point)?

There was a patchset recently that had an SDEI implementation,
but I would strongly prefer not to have QEMU itself take
on the job of firmware API implementation, and the facilities
provided are somewhere between awkward and impossible to
implement from within a guest firmware blob :-/

Yes, the primary concern is what behavior we should have for ARM when
QMP/HMP "nmi" command is executed. After that's determined, I can dig
into SDEI if needed.

As Alexey said in another reply, it's used to force the guest to have
crash dump or drop into in-kernel debugger (xmon) on PowerPC. However,
x86 guest will receive NMI after the command is issued. This RFC patch
is following x86 to inject "pseudo" NMIs, but it seems incorrect. So
the question is what behavior we should have for ARM when QMP/HMP "nmi"
command is issued? I'm expecting more input in this regard :)

Gavin

As Peter stated, there is no NMI concept on aarch64 hardware. The 
pseudo-NMI in the Linux port is purely a software concept. The OS itself 
decides which interrupts should have the "NMI" properties and sets them 
up accordingly.

For QEMU to inject a pseudo-NMI into the guest would require it not only 
to know that the guest supports that feature. But also how such an 
interrupt has to be set up (currently there is no guaranty that the 
priority used for the NMI and the mask should stay the same across Linux 
version as it is purely internal to GICv3/arm64, no generic kAPI nor 
uAPI have access to it). And also, you would probably need to know what 
is handling the NMI you are injecting.

QEMU shouldn't try to guess "that might be dealt as an NMI, lets raise it".

I'm not familiar with the QMP/HMP nor the inner workings of QEMU, but if 
for some reason QEMU requires to trigger an NMI-like mechanic on 
aarch64, a proper way might be through para-virt. Having some 
"qemu-nmi-driver" in linux which calls "request_nmi()" and does the 
proper handling expected by QEMU.

Cheers,

Julien, thanks for the explanation. The question we're not sure if NMI should
be injected on receiving HMP/QMP "nmi" command. It means it's not clear what
behavior we should have for this command on ARM. However, I have one more
unrelated question: "pseudo" NMI on ARM64 should be PPI? I mean SPI can't
be "pseudo" NMI.

Thanks,
Gavin

I'm not sure I understand why you say "SPI can't be "pseudo" NMI". 
Currently both PPI and SPI are supported in the "pseudo" NMI scheme. Do 
you think that should not be the case? If so, can you elaborate?

Julien, NMI interrupt is connected to the system by request_nmi() where we have
a check as below. -EINVAL will be returned from request_nmi() on those interrupts
whose descriptors aren't marked with IRQ_NOAUTOEN. SPI falls into this category.

details.

The IRQ_NOAUTOEN is set on PPIs because you can't enable them all at 
once,
for obvious reasons.

This doesn't mean you cannot set it on other interrupt classes, 
including SPIs.
It is actually a fairly common thing to do when you want to decouple 
requesting
the interrupt from the enabling, if you do not want the interrupt to be 
able to
fire right away.

We inject "system reset" as it is the closest thing to the idea of NMI
(could be a "machine check").

The system behaviour is configurable on POWERPC, it is either kdump
(store a system dump and reboot) or simple reboot or activate XMON
(in-kernel debugger, needs to be enabled beforehand).

The injector in QEMU is called NMIClass::nmi_monitor_handler and as the
name suggests it is not an NMI (the hardware concept which x86 may be
still has and others do not) but an "nmi" command of the QEMU monitor
which is rather a debug tool - "kick an unresponsive guest" - for us
(POWERPC).

I'd say whatever triggers in-kernel debugger or kdump but I am not
familiar with ARM at all :)

For x86, the behavior is really depending the NMI handler. Currently, it

All that is completely OS specific, and has no relation to the 
architecture.
As I mentioned in another part of the thread, the closest thing to this
would be to implement SDEI together with an IMPDEF mechanism to enter it
(or even generate a RAS error).

On the other hand, SDEI is pretty horrible, and means either KVM or QEMU
acting like a firmware for the guest. To say that I'm not keen is a 
massive
understatement.

Marc, could you please explain a bit about "IMPDEF mechanism"? I'm not sure if
it means a non-standard SDEI event should be used, corresponding to the HMP/QMP
"nmi" command.

Also, If I'm correct, you agree that a crash dump should be triggered on arm64
guest once HMP/QMP "nmi" command is issued? I also dig into SDEI a bit. It seems
the SDEI support in QEMU isn't upstream yet:

SDEI doesn't quite describe *why* and *how* you enter it. You just get 
there by
some mean (SError, Group-0 interrupt, or IMPlementation DEFined 
mechanism).
It is then for the SDEI implementation to sort it out and enter the OS 
using the
registered entry point.

> Also, If I'm correct, you agree that a crash dump should be triggered

No, I don't agree. QEMU and KVM are OS agnostic, and there is nothing in 
the ARMv8
architecture that talks about "crash dumps".  If your "nmi" command 
generates
a SDEI event and that event gets dispatched to the guest, it is entirely 
the guest's

And I'm glad. SDEI, as I said, is absolutely horrible. I'm also very 
fortunate
to have been CC'd on this series on an email address I cannot read.
This would have huge impacts on both QEMU and KVM, and this needs more 
than
a knee jerk reaction to support a QEMU command.

And to be honest, if what you require is the guest kernel to panic, why 
don't
you just implement a QEMU-specific driver in Linux that does just that?
Some kind of watchdog driver, maybe?

Thanks,

         M.

Ok. Thank you for your clarification.

Marc, sorry for the delay and didn't come to you in time because I wanted to figure
out the mechanism, which helps to get similar output as x86/ppc: NMI (or reset exception)
is received as indication to errors, possibly panic and restart the guest kernel.

The mechanism I figured out is to inject SError to guest, as below snippet shows. It
helps to get a panic and guest rebooting, which looks similar to what x86/ppc have.
I can post the patch as RFC if it's right direction to go :)

Note: I'm still investigating the code to see how SError can be injected when TCG
is used. I think we need same function when TCG is enabled, or it's something for
future.

static void do_inject_nmi_kvm(CPUState *cpu, Error **errp)
{
     struct kvm_vcpu_events events;
     int ret;

      :
     memset(&events, 0, sizeof(events));
     events.exception.serror_pending = 1;
     ret = kvm_vcpu_ioctl(CPU(cpu), KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, &events);
      :
}

I think being able to inject a SError is a reasonable thing to have for
QEMU. After all, the RAS spec[1] says that "An SError interrupt can also
be generated for IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED causes."

What I'm more concerned about is how this is going to coexist with the
RAS extension itself (which is mandated with ARMv8.2), and whether we
should classify this with a particular syndrome (by populating the ESR
field in the event injection structure), if only to be able to
distinguish the SW-injected SError from a RAS error propagated by KVM.

It looks to me that this SError could be described as a "Recoverable
Error", but I'd like someone who knows more about the RAS extension to
comment on this.

Thanks,

	M.

TCG doesn't currently implement SError -- it could be added, but
there's a bit of plumbing you'd need to do to get it to work and to
ensure the exception is taken, routed and masked correctly.

Thanks, Peter. Yeah, I will post v2 RFC patch shortly. Please let me
know if there are anything wrong :)
