  6. DefinitionofVMM • A virtual machine monitor can be constructed if the set of sensitive instructions is a subset of the set of privileged instructions • Proof shows • Equivalence • by interpreting privileged instructions and executing remaining instructions natively • Resource control • by having all instructions that change resources trap to the VMM • Efficiency • by executing all non-privileged instructions directly on hardware • A key aspect of the theorem is that it is easy to check

  7. Implement models of VMM Type-I Type-II

  8. Problemsinimplementation • CPU virtualization • Non-virtualizable CPU • Vector table issue • Memory virtualization • Translation from GVA to HPA • I/O virtualization • Emulate various I/O devices

  9. Software Solution • CPU virtualization • Non-virtualizableCPU • → Patch GOS / Dynamic Binary Translation • Vector table issue • → Modify host’s VT to deliver interrupts to host or guests • Memory virtualization • Translation from GVA to HPA • → Implement by software and save the translated result in Shadow Page Table • I/O virtualization • Emulate various I/O devices • → Emulated by Software (like QEMU)

  10. Disadvantage of software solution • CPU virtualization • Patch GOS • → You need source code. It’s non-portable. • Dynamic Binary Translation • → Slowdowntheperformanceonruntime • Vector table issue • → Difficult to route interrupts to hypervisor and many GOSs • Memory virtualization • Translation from GVA to HPA • → Waste time when generating to translation result • I/O virtualization • Emulate various I/O devices • → Quite slow when emulating I/O devices • → I/O devices are too diversitytocoverallofthem

  12. OverviewOFARMarchitecture

  13. Brief introduction of ARM architecture

  14. ARMarchitecture • ARM architecture is a well-known CPU architecture in embedded system, mobile devices, and low-power consumption devices. • Unlike other CPU venders, ARM doesn’t produce and ship their own chip. ARM license their IP to other SoC design house and let them to combine ARM CPU Core with their other chips. • ARM also allow SoC design house to change CPU’s ISA in their chips.

  15. RoadmapofARM’sCPUs • ARMv4 • ARM7: Without MMU • ARMv5 • ARM9: With MMU • ARMv6 • ARM11: With MPCore support

  16. RoadmapofARM’sCPUs • ARMv7 • With security extension, but without virtualization extension • Cortex-A8 • Cortex-A9 / Cortex-A5 • With security and virtualization extension, with LPAE • Cortex-A15 / Cortex-A7 (with big-LITTLE support) • ARMv8 • 64-bit support • Cortex-A57 / Cortex-A53 (aka. Cortex-A50 series)

  18. TraditionalARMarchitecture • Privilege Level 0: • User mode • Privilege Level 1: • System mode • IRQ mode • FIQ mode • Undefined mode • Supervisor mode • Abort mode

  19. Overview:SecurityExtension

  20. SecurityExtension • SecurityExtension,a.k.a.Trust-Zone,isasystem-wide approach to security on high performance computing platforms for a huge array of applications including secure payment, digital rights management (DRM), enterprise and web-based services. • Securityextensioncanmaketrustedapplicationrunningonsecurestateandnon-trustedapplicationrunningonnon-securestate. • WhenyouareintheNon-SecureState,youcannotaccessthememorywhichisallocatedforSecureState • IthasbeenintroducedsincefromARMCortex-A8

  34. Hyp mode • ThereisonlyonemodeinNon-SecurePrivilegeLevel2. • ThatisHypmode • HypmodehasitsownSP,SPSR,ELRregister • Mostofcriticalfeatureofhardware-assistantCPUvirtualizationisexecutedinHypmode.

  35. Hyp mode Reference：” ARM® Architecture Reference ManualARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition ”page:B1-1139

  36. Hyp mode • Hyp mode is off in default. IfHypmodeisoff,allvirtualizationextensionwillbesetoff. • If you want to open Hyp mode, you have to use secure software(ex: Bootloader) running on secure state turn the Hyp mode on.

  37. Hyp mode is different with x86’s VT-x • In VT-x of x86 architecture, “root-mode” is orthogonal to x86 rings. • However, in ARM’s virtualization extension, Hyp mode is one mode of all modes in ARM architecture. • ARM’s hyp mode is strictly more privileged than the existing kernel modes. ARM requires the hypervisor to save guest register state, while on x86 this is done automatically by hardware. • Ref: Prashant Varanasi,GernotHeiser,“Hardware-Supported Virtualization on ARM”,APSys2011

  38. Instructionemulation • Therearestillsomeinstructionswhichcannotexecutenatively. • GuestOS’sLoad/StorePTR • Theinstruction’sbehaviorwilleffectotherGuestOS • Invirtualizationextension,they will be trapped into hypervisor automatically when you execute these instructions on Non-Secure Privilege Level 1 • There is NO necessary to patch guest OS for adding hypercall before executing a critical instructions because it will be trapped by hardware automatically.

  39.

  41. VectortableforMonitormode • InSecurityExtension,ARMprovidestwovectortable.Oneofthemistheoriginalone.Anotheroneisprovided for the monitor mode. • The baseaddress of monitor mode’s vector table is saved in MVBAR(Monitor Vector Base Address Register) • OnlyaccessibleinMonitormode • Whenbooting,softwarehavetosetMonitormode’svectortableinMonitormode.

  42.

  46. Background:SVCfornormalOS • BeforeweintroduceHypervisorCall(HVC),weshouldrecallsomeknowledgeaboutSupervisorCall(SVC)innormalOS. • In previous microarchitecture version of ARM, it is called Software Interrupt(SWI). • SupervisorCallisainstructionwhichcantriggerasoftwareinterrupt. Iftheprogramexecute“svc”in the user space (Privilege Level 0), the processor will move into the vector stub of SVC which is in the kernel space • SVC is a way to actively trigger event to enter the supervisor mode from user mode.

  49. WhatisHVC? • HVC, a.k.a. Hypervisor Call, is a instruction which will actively trigger event to enter Hyp mode(Non-Secure PL2) from Guest OS(Non-Secure PL1). • The relationship between Guest OS and Hypervisor in HVC is the same as the relationship between User-space and Kernel-space in SVC. • In vector table, the interrupt from HVC will be taken into the 0x14 vector stub. • WiththehelpofHVC,hypervisordesignercanbeeasilytoimplement“Hypercall”
