[RFC PATCH] i386: Add ratelimit for bus locks acquired in guest |

Virtual Machines can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. To address this kind of performance DOS attack, bus lock VM exit
is introduced in KVM and it will report the bus locks detected in guest,
which can help userspace to enforce throttling policies.
The availability of bus lock VM exit can be detected through the
KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The returned bitmap contains the potential
policies supported by KVM. The field KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT in
bitmap is the only supported strategy at present. It indicates that KVM
will exit to userspace to handle the bus locks.
This patch adds a ratelimit on the bus locks acquired in guest as a
mitigation policy.
Introduce a new field "bld" to record the limited speed of bus locks in
target VM. The user can specify it through the "bus-lock-detection"
as a machine property. In current implementation, the default value of
the speed is 0 per second, which means no restriction on the bus locks.
Ratelimit enforced in data transmission uses a time slice of 100ms to
get smooth output during regular operations in block jobs. As for
ratelimit on bus lock detection, simply set the ratelimit interval to 1s
and restrict the quota of bus lock occurrence to the value of "bld". A
potential alternative is to introduce the time slice as a property
which can help the user achieve more precise control.
The detail of Bus lock VM exit can be found in spec:
