[Xen-devel] [PATCH V6 2/2] x86/xsaves: fix overwriting between non-lazy/lazy xsaves



The offset at which components xsaved by xsave[sc] are not fixed.
So when when a save with v->fpu_dirtied set is followed by one
with v->fpu_dirtied clear, non-lazy xsave[sc] may overwriting data
written by the lazy one.

The solution is when using_xsave_compact is enabled and taking xcr0_accum into
consideration, if guest has ever used XSTATE_LAZY & ~XSTATE_FP_SSE
(XSTATE_FP_SSE will be excluded beacause xsave will write XSTATE_FP_SSE
part in legacy region of xsave area which is fixed, saving XSTATE_FS_SSE
will not cause overwriting problem), vcpu_xsave_mask will return XSTATE_ALL.
Otherwise vcpu_xsave_mask will return XSTATE_NONLAZY.

This may cause overhead save on lazy states which will cause performance
impact. After doing some performance tests on xsavec and xsaveopt
(suggested by jan), the results show xsaveopt performs better than xsavec.
So hypervisor will not use xsavec anymore.

xsaves will be used until supervised state is instroduced in hypervisor.
And XSTATE_XSAVES_ONLY (indicates supervised state is understood in xen)
is instroduced, the use of xsaves depend on whether XSTATE_XSAVES_ONLY
is set in xcr0_accum.

v6: Address comments from Jan
1. Do all changes in XSAVE()/XRSTOR() marco definition.
2. Add code in arch_set_info_guest()/hvm_load_cpu_ctxt()
   hvm_vcpu_reset_state() to guarante xcomp_bv is zero.

v5: Address comments from Jan
1. Add XSTATE_XSAVES_ONLY and using xsaves depend on whether this bits are
   set in xcr0_accum
2. Change compress logic in compress_xsave_states() depend on
   !(v->arch.xcr0_accum & XSTATE_XSAVES_ONLY) && !xsave_area_compressed(src)).
3. XSTATE_COMPACTION_ENABLED only set in xrstor().
4. Rebase the code on
   [V4] x86/xsaves: calculate the xstate_comp_offsets base on xstate_bv
   (already sent out) For they both change same code.
   (I am not sure whether this rebase is ok or not).

v4: Address comments from Jan
1. Add synthetic CPU feature X86_FEATURE_XSAVE_COMPACT and use this feature
   indicate whether hypervisor use compact xsave area or not.
2. Fix type/grammer errors of the comment in vcpu_xsave_mask.

v3: Address comments from Jan
1. Add xsavc clean up code and disable xsaves.
2. Add comment on why certain mask should be return in vcpu_xsave_mask.

v2: Address comments from Jan
1. add performance impact and next step to do in the description.
