[RFC 03/14] x86/apic: Populate .read()/.write() callbacks of Secure AVIC driver
Posted by Neeraj Upadhyay 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The x2APIC registers are mapped at an offset within the guest APIC
backing page which is same as their x2APIC MMIO offset. Secure AVIC
adds new registers such as ALLOWED_IRRs (which are at 4-byte offset
within the IRR register offset range) and NMI_REQ to the APIC register
space. In addition, the APIC_ID register is writable and configured by
guest.

Add read() and write() APIC callback functions to read and write x2APIC
registers directly from the guest APIC backing page.

The default .read()/.write() callbacks of x2APIC drivers perform
a rdmsr/wrmsr of the x2APIC registers. When Secure AVIC is enabled,
these would result in #VC exception (for non-accelerated register
accesses). The #VC exception handler reads/write the x2APIC register
in the guest APIC backing page. Since this would increase the latency
of accessing x2APIC registers, the read() and write() callbacks of
Secure AVIC driver directly reads/writes to the guest APIC backing page.

I think this is important non-obvious information which should be in a comment in the code
itself, not just in the commit message.

I'm sure those can be turned into ranges instead of enumerating every single

Below are the offset of these, as per "Table 16-6. x2APIC Register" in
APM vol2:

#Reg	     #offset
APIC_LVTT - 0x320
APIC_TMICT - 0x380
APIC_TMCCT - 0x390
APIC_TDCR - 0x3E0

Above timer related registers are read from HV when we reach the end of this patch
series.

APIC_ID - 20h
APIC_LVR - 30h
APIC_TASKPRI - 80h
APIC_ARBPRI - 90h
APIC_PROCPRI - A0h
APIC_LDR - D0h
APIC_SPIV - F0h
APIC_ESR - 280h
APIC_ICR - 300h
APIC_LVTTHMR - 330h
APIC_LVTPC - 340h
APIC_LVT0 - 350h
APIC_LVT1 - 360h
APIC_LVTERR - 370h
APIC_EFEAT - 0x400h
APIC_ECTRL - 0x410h
APIC_SEOI - 0x420h
APIC_IER - 0x480h

These are few registers like part of LVT (APIC_LVTTHMR ... APIC_LVTERR) ,
priority (APIC_TASKPRI ... APIC_PROCPRI), extended APIC
(APIC_EFEAT ... APIC_ECTRL) which can be grouped.

Intention of doing per reg is to be explicit about which registers
are accessed from backing page, which from hv and which are not allowed
access. As access (and their perms) are per-reg and not range-based, this
made sense to me. Also, if ranges are used, I think 16-byte aligned
checks are needed for the range. If using ranges looks more logical grouping
here, I can update it as per the above range groupings.

As this case is for EILVT register range, these registers were grouped.
(I need to add a 16-byte alignment check here).

Is this list of registers going to remain or are we going to keep adding to
it so that the ranges become contiguous?

And yes, there is some merit to explicitly naming them but you can also put
that in a comment once above those functions too.

From the APIC architecture details in APM and SDM, I see these gaps are reserved
ranges which are present for xapic also. x2apic keeps the register layout consistent.
So, these gaps looks to have have remained reserved for long. I don't have information
on the uarch reasons (if any) for the reserved space layout.

I understand your point but, for this specific case, to me, each register as a separate
"switch case" looks clearer and self-describing than keeping a range of different
registers and putting comment about which registers it covers.

In addition, while each APIC register is at 16-byte alignment, they are accessed
using dword size reads/writes. So, as mentioned in previous reply, using ranges
requires alignment checks.

One hypothetical example where using range checks could become klugy is when
the unused 12 bytes of 16 byte  of a register is repurposed for implementation-
specific features and the read/write permissions are different for the architecture
register and the implementation-defined one. Secure AVIC uses (IRRn + 4) address
for ALLOWED_IRRn. However, the r/w permissions are same for IRRn and ALLOWED_IRRn.
So, using ranges for IRR register space works fine. However, it may not work
if similar register-space-repurposing happens for other features in future. I
understand this could be considered as speculative and hand-wavy reasoning. So,
I would ask, does above reasoning convince you with the current switch-case layout
or you want it to be range-based?

What I actually meant here is whether SAVIC enablement is going to keep adding
more and more entries here so that it becomes practically *all* possible, each
spelled out explicitly.
