KVM: x86: BSP in MSR_IA32_APICBASE is writable

2015-04-08T08:47:02Z

After reset, the CPU can change the BSP, which will be used upon INIT. Reset should return the BSP which QEMU asked for, and therefore handled accordingly. To quote: "If the MP protocol has completed and a BSP is chosen, subsequent INITs (either to a specific processor or system wide) do not cause the MP protocol to be repeated."

Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into 'kvm-next'

2015-04-07T16:09:20Z

KVM/ARM changes for v4.1: - fixes for live migration - irqfd support - kvm-io-bus & vgic rework to enable ioeventfd - page ageing for stage-2 translation - various cleanups

KVM: Redesign kvm_io_bus_ API to pass VCPU structure to the callbacks.

2015-03-26T21:43:11Z

This is needed in e.g. ARM vGIC emulation, where the MMIO handling depends on the VCPU that does the access. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Nikolaev Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: introduce kvm_arch_intc_initialized and use it in irqfd

2015-03-12T14:15:32Z

Introduce __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_INTC_INITIALIZED define and associated kvm_arch_intc_initialized function. This latter allows to test whether the virtual interrupt controller is initialized and ready to accept virtual IRQ injection. On some architectures, the virtual interrupt controller is dynamically instantiated, justifying that kind of check. The new function can now be used by irqfd to check whether the virtual interrupt controller is ready on KVM_IRQFD request. If not, KVM_IRQFD returns -EAGAIN.

KVM: Get rid of kvm_kvfree()

2015-03-10T13:37:43Z

kvm_kvfree() provides exactly the same functionality as the new common kvfree() function - so let's simply replace the kvm function with the common function. Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

kvm,rcu,nohz: use RCU extended quiescent state when running KVM guest

2015-03-09T14:43:03Z

The host kernel is not doing anything while the CPU is executing a KVM guest VCPU, so it can be marked as being in an extended quiescent state, identical to that used when running user space code. The only exception to that rule is when the host handles an interrupt, which is already handled by the irq code, which calls rcu_irq_enter and rcu_irq_exit. The guest_enter and guest_exit functions already switch vtime accounting independent of context tracking. Leave those calls where they are, instead of moving them into the context tracking code.

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).
