KVM: mmu: allow page tables to be in read-only slots

2013-09-17T09:52:31Z

Page tables in a read-only memory slot will currently cause a triple fault because the page walker uses gfn_to_hva and it fails on such a slot. OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with that as long as the accessed/dirty bits are set. Save whether the slot is readonly, and later check it when updating the accessed and dirty bits. Reviewed-by: Xiao Guangrong Reviewed-by: Gleb Natapov Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: s390: Make KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD usable on s390

2013-07-29T07:03:53Z

Current common code uses PAGE_OFFSET to indicate a bad host virtual address. As this check won't work on architectures that don't map kernel and user memory into the same address space (e.g. s390), such architectures can now provide their own KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD defines.

KVM: Introduce kvm_arch_memslots_updated()

2013-07-18T10:29:25Z

This is called right after the memslots is updated, i.e. when the result of update_memslots() gets installed in install_new_memslots(). Since the memslots needs to be updated twice when we delete or move a memslot, kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() does not correspond to this exactly. In the following patch, x86 will use this new API to check if the mmio generation has reached its maximum value, in which case mmio sptes need to be flushed out.

kvm: exclude ioeventfd from counting kvm_io_range limit

2013-06-04T08:49:38Z

We can easily reach the 1000 limit by start VM with a couple hundred I/O devices (multifunction=on). The hardcode limit already been adjusted 3 times (6 ~ 200 ~ 300 ~ 1000). In userspace, we already have maximum file descriptor to limit ioeventfd count. But kvm_io_bus devices also are used for pit, pic, ioapic, coalesced_mmio. They couldn't be limited by maximum file descriptor. Currently only ioeventfds take too much kvm_io_bus devices, so just exclude it from counting kvm_io_range limit.

kvm: Move guest entry/exit APIs to context_tracking

2013-05-31T09:32:30Z

The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well inclusion when archs don't support KVM. This results in build crashes for such archs when they want to implement context tracking because this subsystem includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case. To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit() declarations and generic implementation to the context tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking like user_enter() et al. KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the other buggy way around.

KVM: x86: limit difference between kvmclock updates

2013-05-15T17:36:09Z

kvmclock updates which are isolated to a given vcpu, such as vcpu->cpu migration, should not allow system_timestamp from the rest of the vcpus to remain static. Otherwise ntp frequency correction applies to one vcpu's system_timestamp but not the others. So in those cases, request a kvmclock update for all vcpus. The worst case for a remote vcpu to update its kvmclock is then bounded by maximum nohz sleep latency. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add API for in-kernel XICS emulation

2013-05-02T13:28:36Z

This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS. The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES. Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt source number. This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Acked-by: David Gibson Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf
