KVM: MMU: fix SMAP virtualization

2015-05-11T15:17:50Z

KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu once CR4.SMAP is updated Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.

2015-04-21T13:21:29Z

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator. This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency oscillators and are almost completely entropic. PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one 64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for all the threads in the same virtual core. Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

KVM: s390: migrate vcpu interrupt state

2015-03-31T19:07:31Z

This patch adds support to migrate vcpu interrupts. Two new vcpu ioctls are added which get/set the complete status of pending interrupts in one go. The ioctls are marked as available with the new capability KVM_CAP_S390_IRQ_STATE. We can not use a ONEREG, as the number of pending local interrupts is not constant and depends on the number of CPUs. To retrieve the interrupt state we add an ioctl KVM_S390_GET_IRQ_STATE. Its input parameter is a pointer to a struct kvm_s390_irq_state which has a buffer and length. For all currently pending interrupts, we copy a struct kvm_s390_irq into the buffer and pass it to userspace. To store interrupt state into a buffer provided by userspace, we add an ioctl KVM_S390_SET_IRQ_STATE. It passes a struct kvm_s390_irq_state into the kernel and injects all interrupts contained in the buffer. Signed-off-by: Jens Freimann Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Acked-by: Cornelia Huck

KVM: s390: add ioctl to inject local interrupts

2015-03-31T19:07:30Z

We have introduced struct kvm_s390_irq a while ago which allows to inject all kinds of interrupts as defined in the Principles of Operation.

KVM: s390: fix get_all_floating_irqs

2015-03-31T19:05:51Z

This fixes a bug introduced with commit c05c4186bbe4 ("KVM: s390: add floating irq controller"). get_all_floating_irqs() does copy_to_user() while holding a spin lock. Let's fix this by filling a temporary buffer first and copy it to userspace after giving up the lock. Cc: # 3.18+: 69a8d4562638 KVM: s390: no need to hold...

MIPS: KVM: Wire up MSA capability

2015-03-27T21:25:22Z

Now that the code is in place for KVM to support MIPS SIMD Architecutre (MSA) in MIPS guests, wire up the new KVM_CAP_MIPS_MSA capability. For backwards compatibility, the capability must be explicitly enabled in order to detect or make use of MSA from the guest. The capability is not supported if the hardware supports MSA vector partitioning, since the extra support cannot be tested yet and it extends the state that the userland program would have to save.

MIPS: KVM: Expose MSA registers

2015-03-27T21:25:21Z

Add KVM register numbers for the MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) registers, and implement access to them with the KVM_GET_ONE_REG / KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls when the MSA capability is enabled (exposed in a later patch) and present in the guest according to its Config3.MSAP bit. The MSA vector registers use the same register numbers as the FPU registers except with a different size (128bits). Since MSA depends on Status.FR=1, these registers are inaccessible when Status.FR=0. These registers are returned as a single native endian 128bit value, rather than least significant half first with each 64-bit half native endian as the kernel uses internally.
