Highly appreciate for your review. This version mostly addressed the comments from Sean. Most comments are adopted except three which are not closed and need more discussions:
- Move the entire xfd write emulation code to x86.c. Doing so requires introducing a new kvm_x86_ops callback to disable msr write bitmap. According to Paolo's earlier comment he prefers to handle it in vmx.c.
- Directly check msr_bitmap in update_exception_bitmap() (for trapping #NM) and vcpu_enter_guest() (for syncing guest xfd after vm-exit) instead of introducing an extra flag in the last patch. However, doing so requires another new kvm_x86_ops callback for checking msr_bitmap since vcpu_enter_guest() is x86 common code. Having an extra flag sounds simpler here (at least for the initial AMX support). It does penalize nested guest with one xfd sync per exit, but it's not worse than a normal guest which initializes xfd but doesn't run AMX applications at all. Those could be improved afterwards.
- Disable #NM trap for nested guest. This version still chooses to always trap #NM (regardless in L1 or L2) as long as xfd write interception is disabled. In reality #NM is rare if nested guest doesn't intend to run AMX applications and always-trap is safer than dynamic trap for the basic support in case of any oversight here.
(Jing is temporarily leave for family reason, Yang helped work out this version)

v1->v2: - Live migration supported and verified with a selftest - Rebase to Thomas's new series for guest fpstate reallocation [1] - Expand fpstate at KVM_SET_CPUID2 instead of when emulating XCR0 and IA32_XFD (Thomas/Paolo) - Accordingly remove all exit-to-userspace stuff - Intercept #NM to save guest XFD_ERR and restore host/guest value at preemption on/off boundary (Thomas) - Accordingly remove all xfd_err logic in preemption callback and fpu_swap_kvm_fpstate() - Reuse KVM_SET_XSAVE to handle both legacy and expanded buffer (Paolo) - Don't return dynamic bits w/o prctl() in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID (Paolo) - Check guest permissions for dynamic features in CPUID[0xD] instead of only for AMX at KVM_SET_CPUID (Paolo) - Remove dynamic bit check for 32-bit guest in __kvm_set_xcr() (Paolo) - Fix CPUID emulation for 0x1d and 0x1e (Paolo) - Move "disable interception" to the end of the series (Paolo)
This series brings AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) virtualization support to KVM. The preparatory series from Thomas [1] is also included.
A large portion of the changes in this series is to deal with eXtended Feature Disable (XFD) which allows resizing of the fpstate buffer to support dynamically-enabled XSTATE features with large state component (e.g. 8K for AMX).
There are a lot of simplications when comparing v2/v3 to the original proposal [2] and the first version [3]. Thanks to Thomas and Paolo for many good suggestions.
The support is based on following key changes:
- Guest permissions for dynamically-enabled XSAVE features
Native tasks have to request permission via prctl() before touching a dynamic-resized XSTATE compoenent. Introduce guest permissions for the similar purpose. Userspace VMM is expected to request guest permission only once when the first vCPU is created.
KVM checks guest permission in KVM_SET_CPUID2. Setting XFD in guest cpuid w/o proper permissions fails this operation. In the meantime, unpermitted features are also excluded in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
- Extend fpstate reallocation mechanism to cover guest fpu
Unlike native tasks which have reallocation triggered from #NM handler, guest fpstate reallocation is requested by KVM when it identifies the intention on using dynamically-enabled XSAVE features inside guest.
Extend fpu core to allow KVM request fpstate buffer expansion for a guest fpu containter.
- Trigger fpstate reallocation in KVM
This could be done either statically (before guest runs) or dynamically (in the emulation path). According to discussion [1] we decide to statically enable all xfeatures allowed by guest perm in KVM_SET_CPUID2, with fpstate buffer sized accordingly. This spares a lot of code and also avoid imposing an ordered restore sequence (XCR0, XFD and XSTATE) to userspace VMM.
- RDMSR/WRMSR emulation for IA32_XFD
Because fpstate expansion is completed in KVM_SET_CPUID2, emulating r/w access to IA32_XFD simply involves the xfd field in the guest fpu container. If write and guest fpu is currently active, the software state (guest_fpstate::xfd and per-cpu xfd cache) is also updated.
- RDMSR/WRMSR emulation for XFD_ERR
When XFD causes an instruction to generate #NM, XFD_ERR contains information about which disabled state components are being accessed. It'd be problematic if the XFD_ERR value generated in guest is consumed/clobbered by the host before the guest itself doing so.
Intercept #NM exception to save the guest XFD_ERR value when write IA32_XFD with a non-zero value for 1st time. There is at most one interception per guest task given a dynamic feature.
RDMSR/WRMSR emulation uses the saved value. The host value (always ZERO outside of the host #NM handler) is restored before enabling preemption. The saved guest value is restored right before entering the guest (with preemption disabled).
- Get/set dynamic xfeature state for migration
Introduce new capability (KVM_CAP_XSAVE2) to deal with >4KB fpstate buffer. Reading this capability returns the size of the current guest fpstate (e.g. after expansion). Userspace VMM uses a new ioctl (KVM_GET_XSAVE2) to read guest fpstate from the kernel and reuses the existing ioctl (KVM_SET_XSAVE) to update guest fpsate to the kernel. KVM_SET_XSAVE is extended to do properly_sized memdup_user() based on the guest fpstate.
- Expose related cpuid bits to guest
The last step is to allow exposing XFD, AMX_TILE, AMX_INT8 and AMX_BF16 in guest cpuid. Adding those bits into kvm_cpu_caps finally activates all previous logics in this series
- Optimization: disable interception for IA32_XFD
IA32_XFD can be frequently updated by the guest, as it is part of the task state and swapped in context switch when prev and next have different XFD setting. Always intercepting WRMSR can easily cause non-negligible overhead.
Disable r/w emulation for IA32_XFD after intercepting the first WRMSR(IA32_XFD) with a non-zero value. However MSR passthrough implies the software state (guest_fpstate::xfd and per-cpu xfd cache) might be out of sync with MSR. This suggests KVM needs to re-sync them at VM-exit before preemption is enabled.
Thanks Jun Nakajima and Kevin Tian for the design suggestions when this version is being internally worked on.
