[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.12 v3 4/5] xen/arm: Implement Set/Way operations



Set/Way operations are used to perform maintenance on a given cache.
At the moment, Set/Way operations are not trapped and therefore a guest
OS will directly act on the local cache. However, a vCPU may migrate to
another pCPU in the middle of the processor. This will result to have
cache with stall data (Set/Way are not propagated) potentially causing
crash. This may be the cause of heisenbug noticed in Osstest [1].

Furthermore, Set/Way operations are not available on system cache. This
means that OS, such as Linux 32-bit, relying on those operations to
fully clean the cache before disabling MMU may break because data may
sits in system caches and not in RAM.

For more details about Set/Way, see the talk "The Art of Virtualizing
Cache Maintenance" given at Xen Summit 2018 [2].

In the context of Xen, we need to trap Set/Way operations and emulate
them. From the Arm Arm (B1.14.4 in DDI 046C.c), Set/Way operations are
difficult to virtualized. So we can assume that a guest OS using them will
suffer the consequence (i.e slowness) until developer removes all the usage
of Set/Way.

As the software is not allowed to infer the Set/Way to Physical Address
mapping, Xen will need to go through the guest P2M and clean &
invalidate all the entries mapped.

Because Set/Way happen in batch (a loop on all Set/Way of a cache), Xen
would need to go through the P2M for every instructions. This is quite
expensive and would severely impact the guest OS. The implementation is
re-using the KVM policy to limit the number of flush:
    - If we trap a Set/Way operations, we enable VM trapping (i.e
      HVC_EL2.TVM) to detect cache being turned on/off, and do a full
    clean.
    - We clean the caches when turning on and off
    - Once the caches are enabled, we stop trapping VM instructions

    Changes in v2:
        - Fix emulation for Set/Way cache flush arm64 sysreg
        - Add support for preemption
        - Check cache status on every VM traps in Arm64
        - Remove spurious change
