Hello everyone,
These patches let one specify how wide the physical addresses are, in
bits.
Using current QEMU's default of 40 may limit the amount of RAM the guest
can see (which is the reason why, in our packages, we bump that to 42; and
as far as I've understood from reading some old mailing list threads on
the subject, other downstreams do something similar).
It also can cause other problems, such as the one described in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578278#c5
Basically, the VM thinking and reporting to the user that L1TF is
unmitigated, because while its RAM may fits in MAX_PHYS_ADDR (e.g., equal
to 42 or 40) it does not fit in MAX_PHYS_ADDR/2, which is necessary for
PTE inversion to be effective.
I've also mentioned this during my KVM Forum talk (slides 81, 82, from
here:
http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dariof/talks/Virtual%20Topology%20Friend%20...)
The series alleviates the problem by providing an user with an easy way
to either specify an arbitrary number of physical address bits bits for
the VM (with, e.g., <maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>) or
just
using the same number of bits of the host (with <maxphysaddr
mode='passthrough'/>).
This in theory is already possible, but only in an hack-ish way, such as
adding:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-cpu'/>
<qemu:arg value='host,host-phys-bits=on'/>
</qemu:commandline>
But this is super inconvenient. :-)
I have not done it such as host-phys-bits=on is automatically added when
using cpu-passthrough as CPU model, as I think that that actually
belongs in QEMU.
Basically, this works and can be used very much like the <cache/> element.
Ah, so, the series is RFC basically because the QEMU capability test is
failing. I think I may be failing at understanding how things should
work. Or maybe I "just" need to regenerate the files against which
capabilities themselves are checked (and if this is the case, I need to
understand how). Well, I'll keep looking into this, and try to figure it
out (but, if anyone has any hint, that's much appreciated :-P).
Feedback welcome.
Thanks and Regards

New subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] Add support for specifying max physical address size.
This patch introduces the:
<maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/>
<maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>
sub element of /domain/cpu.
Purpose is being able to have a guest see the physical address size
exactly as the host does (if mode='passthrough' is used) or any size
the user wants it to see (if mode='emulate' is used and bits='' is
specified).
This can be useful if the VM needs to have a large amount of memory.

That makes sense as a location.

exactly as the host does (if mode='passthrough' is used) or any size
the user wants it to see (if mode='emulate' is used and bits='' is

This can be useful if the VM needs to have a large amount of memory.
I notice that QEMU recently (well in 2018) introduced a further
option "host-phys-bits-limit". This says to use host phys bits,
but cap it at a certain level. I don't see that this does anything
that we can't already do with the existing "phys-bits" setting
though - it merely automates the lookup of the host bits. So I
don't think we particlarly need host-phys-bits-limit in libvirt.
What I think we do want though is for the <capabilities> XML to
report the host CPU's phys bits, so mgmt apps can query this
and use it to decide on a suitable guest limit.
We have ABIs for checking guest ABI compatibility, which should
probably validate these new settings somewhree.

What I think we do want though is for the <capabilities> XML to
report the host CPU's phys bits, so mgmt apps can query this
and use it to decide on a suitable guest limit.
Right. I'll add a patch for this.
We have ABIs for checking guest ABI compatibility, which should
probably validate these new settings somewhree.
Yes, all this capabilities thing is what I'm struggling the most with,
currently. But I'll figure it out, I'm sure :-)
Thanks and Regards

New subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] qemu: Add support for max physical address size
This patch maps /domain/cpu/maxphysaddr into -cpu parameters:
- <maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/> becomes host-phys-bits=on
- <maxphysaddr mode='emualte' bits='42'/> becomes phys-bits=42
Passthrough mode can only be used if the chosen CPU model is
'host-passthrough'.
The feature is available since QEMU 2.7.0.

New subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] qemu: Add support for max physical address size
On Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 5:07 PM Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli(a)suse.com> wrote:
This patch maps /domain/cpu/maxphysaddr into -cpu parameters:
- <maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/> becomes host-phys-bits=on
- <maxphysaddr mode='emualte' bits='42'/> becomes phys-bits=42
I can't thank you enough Dario for starting this,
I have waited for this quite a while and never found the time for it myself
:-/
Looking at my todo notes I wondered if while touching it we should right
away also
add host-phys-bits-limit in the same spot?
See https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=258fe08bd341d
Passthrough mode can only be used if the chosen CPU model is
'host-passthrough'.
The feature is available since QEMU 2.7.0.

I can't thank you enough Dario for starting this,
I have waited for this quite a while and never found the time for it myself
:-/
Looking at my todo notes I wondered if while touching it we should right
away also
add host-phys-bits-limit in the same spot?
See https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=258fe08bd341d
I'm not convinced we actally need it in libvirt. Assuming we report the
host phys bits in the capabilities XML, apps can already achieve this
functionality with the mode=emulate bits=NN settings by populating NN
based on the capabilities XML.

Daniel

I'm not convinced we actally need it in libvirt. Assuming we report
the
host phys bits in the capabilities XML, apps can already achieve this
functionality with the mode=emulate bits=NN settings by populating
NN
based on the capabilities XML.
Right. So, host-phys-bits-limit seems to exist because:
"Some downstream distributions of QEMU set host-phys-bits=on by
default. [...] Now choosing a large phys-bits value for a VM has bigger
impact: it will make KVM use 5-level EPT even when it's not really
necessary."
And we want to be able to, from QEMU: "keep using the host phys-bits
value, but only if it's smaller than 48."
So, I was thinking that, in a world where QEMU will
have host-phys-bits=on by default, if using `-cpu host` you may want to
be able to do the same from libvirt, i.e., "same as host, but not more
than NN".
In my head (and drafts), that would happen with:
<maxphysaddr mode="passthrough" limit="NN"/> (1)
Which is very similar and may be identical to:
<maxphysaddr mode="emulate" bits="NN"/> (2)
Whether or not they're actually identical, e.g., if NN > MM, depends on
what QEMU does. In that case, with (1) we set MM. With (2), if QEMU
let us do that, we set NN. (And when I say what QEMU does, I don't
mean, right know, I mean in the particular version in use, assuming
that at least in theory it can change between different versions).
So, maybe having (1) may be the only way of making sure that I get
min(NN,MM), irrespective of QEMU version/behavior. Or am I missing
something?
That's why I happen to think there could be value in having limit... Or
does this all just not make sense? :-)
Thanks and Regards

And we want to be able to, from QEMU: "keep using the host phys-bits

Right so it is basically a hack to workaround problem with historical
defaults in QEMU. In the libvirt case we're not dealing with defaults,
we have explicit XML element to express what we want. So we can express
it straight away and not need this hack.
So, I was thinking that, in a world where QEMU will
have host-phys-bits=on by default, if using `-cpu host` you may want to

I don't see any functional difference between 1 & 2 from libvirt's
side. In fact (2) is probably better because it can work on any version
of QEMU, even before host-phys-bits-limit was introduced.
The "downside" is that an app has to read the capabilities to see the
current host limit and choose the "NN" value.
That's why I happen to think there could be value in having
limit... Or
does this all just not make sense? :-)
I think we can ignore host-phys-bits-limit. If it later turns out we
really do need it, we can add it to libvirt, but until then pretend
it doesn't exist.

Right. I think I've understood your line of reasoning and
I agree.
Especially on the fact that we can ignore it for now, and always add it
later, if we see the need for it.
And I certainly can look into adding the phys bits to the host
capabilities.

Hi!
Yeah, it was sitting in my TODO list for a little while as well.
Then I decided to mention that I'd do it in my talk at KVM Forum...
Which is usually a pretty good push for actually do it! ;-P
Looking at my todo notes I wondered if while touching it we should
right away also
add host-phys-bits-limit in the same spot?
See https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=258fe08bd341d
Yes, I'm aware of it, and it looks easy to support.
And I agree that we can do it contextually.
I even have it in drafted patches, but I decided to fire these out as
early as possible, to capture some early feedback.
Thanks and Regards

Passthrough mode can only be used if the chosen CPU model is
'host-passthrough'.
The feature is available since QEMU 2.7.0.
I wonder if we need to care about doing any kind of host compatibility
checking when these are specified.
QEMU historically hasn't checked compatibility, meaning you could
configure bits=48 on a host CPU that only supports bits=40. Things
would seem to work unless you gave a guest RAM size that needed
soo many bits.
QEMU is reluctant to change things due to back compat issues with
existing deployments. Libvirt wouldn't have that issue though, as
we would only need to enforce it when users actually gave the
<maxphysaddr> element, which is opt-in and won't be present in
existing guests.

Daniel

Yes, and I'm already adding the logic for checking the host phys bits,
for putting it in the host capabilities, so it should be easy enough to
add a check here.
I'll go for it.
Thanks and Regards

Hello everyone,
These patches let one specify how wide the physical addresses are, in
bits.
Using current QEMU's default of 40 may limit the amount of RAM the guest
can see (which is the reason why, in our packages, we bump that to 42; and
as far as I've understood from reading some old mailing list threads on
the subject, other downstreams do something similar).
In RHEL we provide custom machine types which set host-phys-bits=on by
default, which is why making it configurable in libvirt hasn't been a
high priority previously.
It also can cause other problems, such as the one described in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578278#c5
Basically, the VM thinking and reporting to the user that L1TF is
unmitigated, because while its RAM may fits in MAX_PHYS_ADDR (e.g., equal
to 42 or 40) it does not fit in MAX_PHYS_ADDR/2, which is necessary for
PTE inversion to be effective.
Yep, that's not nice.
The series alleviates the problem by providing an user with an easy
way
to either specify an arbitrary number of physical address bits bits for
the VM (with, e.g., <maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>) or
just
using the same number of bits of the host (with <maxphysaddr
mode='passthrough'/>).
This in theory is already possible, but only in an hack-ish way, such as
adding:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-cpu'/>
<qemu:arg value='host,host-phys-bits=on'/>
</qemu:commandline>
But this is super inconvenient. :-)
And explicitly unsupported in a production deployment, so not a viable
solution except for experimentation.
I have not done it such as host-phys-bits=on is automatically added
when
using cpu-passthrough as CPU model, as I think that that actually
belongs in QEMU.
Agreed, I think I raised that as a suggestion before too.
Regards,
Daniel

Yeah, and as I said, we bump that 40 to 42 in our QEMU package. I guess
this is why not many people have bumped into this on our side either.
Until now that I bumped into it... So, sad to admit, but apparently 42
was not the answer in this case. :-P
