HVF doesn't have a CPU kick and without it it's not possible to perform an action on CPU thread until a VMEXIT happens. The kick is also needed for timely interrupt delivery.
Existing implementation of CPU kick sends SIG_IPI (aka SIGUSR1) to vCPU thread, but it's different from what hv_vcpu_interrupt does. The latter one results in invocation of mp_cpus_kick() in XNU kernel [1]. mp_cpus_kick() sends an IPI through the host LAPIC to the HVF vCPU. And the kick interrupt leads to VM exit because "external-interrupt exiting” VM-execution control is enabled for HVF. hv_vcpu_interrupt() would have no effect if it's delivered when vCPU is outside of a guest, therefore to avoid kick loss it's complemented with a SIG_IPI handler and zero VMX-preemption timer. If the kick happens outside of hv_vcpu_run(), the signal handler will re-queue the kick by enabling zero VMX-preemption timer for the next hv_vcpu_run(). There's still a small chance of kick loss, on user-to-kernel border between atomic_mb_set's just before the entry to hv_vcpu_run and just after it. Also correct type of hvf_fd to the type of hv_vcpuid_t to avoid compilation warnings. 1. https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-6153.81.5/osfmk/i386/mp.c Cc: Cameron Esfahani <di...@apple.com> Signed-off-by: Roman Bolshakov <r.bolsha...@yadro.com> --- This is a rework of a kick patch in v2 of the series (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-06/msg09899.html) based on the comments from Paolo. Unfortunately the race is still there, may be the race window is just a bit smaller. Changes since v2: - Reworked workaround to minimize kick loss race. Use signals to interrupt vCPU thread outside of hv_vcpu_run() and turn-on/turn-off VMX-preemeption timer, while timer value is always zero. v3 also assumes that VMX-preemption timer control is always available on the hardware that supports HVF. Changes since v1: - Reduced kick loss race (Paolo) and removed SIG_IPI blocking cpus.c | 13 +++++++---- include/hw/core/cpu.h | 2 +- include/sysemu/hvf.h | 1 + target/i386/cpu.h | 1 + target/i386/hvf/hvf.c | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- target/i386/hvf/vmcs.h | 1 + 6 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/cpus.c b/cpus.c index d94456ed29..6be42ff734 100644 --- a/cpus.c +++ b/cpus.c @@ -1792,10 +1792,15 @@ static void qemu_cpu_kick_thread(CPUState *cpu) return;
