Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features. Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. Powerpc: Nothing yet. The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers, because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being offline for some part of next week" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (130 commits) KVM: ia64: drop kvm.h from installed user headers KVM: x86: fix build with !CONFIG_SMP KVM: x86: emulate: correct page fault error code for NoWrite instructions KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390 KVM: s390: add cpu model support KVM: s390: use facilities and cpu_id per KVM KVM: s390/CPACF: Choose crypto control block format s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID KVM: s390: reenable LPP facility KVM: s390: floating irqs: fix user triggerable endless loop kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter kvm: remove KVM_MMIO_SIZE KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest KVM: MIPS: Disable HTW while in guest KVM: nVMX: Enable nested posted interrupt processing KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtual interrupt delivery KVM: nVMX: Enable nested apic register virtualization KVM: nVMX: Make nested control MSRs per-cpu KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtualize x2apic mode KVM: nVMX: Prepare for using hardware MSR bitmap ...

mm: gup: kvm use get_user_pages_unlocked

2015-02-12T01:06:05Z

Use the more generic get_user_pages_unlocked which has the additional benefit of passing FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY at the very first page fault (which allows the first page fault in an unmapped area to be always able to block indefinitely by being allowed to release the mmap_sem).

kvm: remove KVM_MMIO_SIZE

After f78146b0f923, "KVM: Fix page-crossing MMIO", and 87da7e66a405, "KVM: x86: fix vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow", actually KVM_MMIO_SIZE is gone. Signed-off-by: Tiejun Chen Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: Rename kvm_arch_mmu_write_protect_pt_masked to be more generic for log dirty

2015-01-29T14:30:38Z

We don't have to write protect guest memory for dirty logging if architecture supports hardware dirty logging, such as PML on VMX, so rename it to be more generic. Signed-off-by: Kai Huang Reviewed-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-next-20150122' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next

2015-01-23T13:33:36Z

KVM: s390: fixes and features for kvm/next (3.20) 1. Generic - sparse warning (make function static) - optimize locking - bugfixes for interrupt injection - fix MVPG addressing modes 2. hrtimer/wakeup fun A recent change can cause KVM hangs if adjtime is used in the host. The hrtimer might wake up too early or too late. Too early is fatal as vcpu_block will see that the wakeup condition is not met and sleep again. This CPU might never wake up again. This series addresses this problem. adjclock slowing down the host clock will result in too late wakeups. This will require more work. In addition to that we also change the hrtimer from REALTIME to MONOTONIC to avoid similar problems with timedatectl set-time. 3. sigp rework We will move all "slow" sigps to QEMU (protected with a capability that can be enabled) to avoid several races between concurrent SIGP orders. 4. Optimize the shadow page table Provide an interface to announce the maximum guest size. The kernel will use that to make the pagetable 2,3,4 (or theoretically) 5 levels. 5. Provide an interface to set the guest TOD We now use two vm attributes instead of two oneregs, as oneregs are vcpu ioctl and we don't want to call them from other threads. 6. Protected key functions The real HMC allows to enable/disable protected key CPACF functions. Lets provide an implementation + an interface for QEMU to activate this the protected key instructions.

KVM: remove unneeded return value of vcpu_postcreate

2015-01-23T12:24:52Z

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so just get rid of the unchecked return value.

arm/arm64: KVM: add virtual GICv3 distributor emulation

2015-01-20T17:25:31Z

With everything separated and prepared, we implement a model of a GICv3 distributor and redistributors by using the existing framework to provide handler functions for each register group. Currently we limit the emulation to a model enforcing a single security state, with SRE==1 (forcing system register access) and ARE==1 (allowing more than 8 VCPUs). We share some of the functions provided for GICv2 emulation, but take the different ways of addressing (v)CPUs into account. Save and restore is currently not implemented. Similar to the split-off of the GICv2 specific code, the new emulation code goes into a new file (vgic-v3-emul.c). Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

arm/arm64: KVM: move kvm_register_device_ops() into vGIC probing

2015-01-20T17:25:27Z

Currently we unconditionally register the GICv2 emulation device during the host's KVM initialization. Since with GICv3 support we may end up with only v2 or only v3 or both supported, we move the registration into the GIC probing function, where we will later know which combination is valid.

KVM: Add generic support for dirty page logging

2015-01-16T13:40:14Z

kvm_get_dirty_log() provides generic handling of dirty bitmap, currently reused by several architectures. Building on that we intrdoduce kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() adding write protection to mark these pages dirty for future write access, before next KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl call from user space.
