KVM: Fix whitespace in kvm_para.h

2011-12-27T09:26:41Z

When syncing KVM headers with QEMU I (or whoever applies the diff) end up automatically fixing whitespaces. One of them is in kvm_para.h. It's a lot more consistent for people who don't do the whitespace fixups automatically to already have fixed headers in Linux. So remove the sparse empty line at the end of kvm_para.h and everyone's happy. Reported-by: Blue Swirl Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

KVM: Move kvm_guest_init out of generic code

2010-10-24T08:50:49Z

Currently x86 is the only architecture that uses kvm_guest_init(). With PowerPC we're getting a second user, but the signature is different there and we don't need to export it, as it uses the normal kernel init framework. So let's move the x86 specific definition of that function over to the x86 specfic header file. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: PPC: First magic page steps

2010-10-24T08:50:46Z

We will be introducing a method to project the shared page in guest context. As soon as we're talking about this coupling, the shared page is colled magic page. This patch introduces simple defines, so the follow-up patches are easier to read. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: PPC: Implement hypervisor interface

2010-10-24T08:50:45Z

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls. This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information. This patch implements stubs to handle KVM PPC hypercalls on the host and guest side alike. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: x86: Disallow hypercalls for guest callers in rings > 0

2009-09-10T05:33:20Z

So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses. To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in the future once required.

KVM: MMU: hypercall based pte updates and TLB flushes

2008-04-27T09:00:27Z

Hypercall based pte updates are faster than faults, and also allow use of the lazy MMU mode to batch operations. Don't report the feature if two dimensional paging is enabled. [avi: - one mmu_op hypercall instead of one per op - allow 64-bit gpa on hypercall - don't pass host errors (-ENOMEM) to guest] [akpm: warning fix on i386] Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

x86: KVM guest: add basic paravirt support

2008-04-27T09:00:25Z

Add basic KVM paravirt support. Avoid vm-exits on IO delays. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: Put kvm_para.h include outside KERNEL

2008-01-30T16:01:22Z

kvm_para.h potentially contains definitions that are to be used by userspace, so it should not be included inside the __KERNEL__ block. To protect its own data structures, kvm_para.h already includes its own __KERNEL__ block. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa Acked-by: Amit Shah Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: Accelerated apic support

2008-01-30T16:01:20Z

This adds a mechanism for exposing the virtual apic tpr to the guest, and a protocol for letting the guest update the tpr without causing a vmexit if conditions allow (e.g. there is no interrupt pending with a higher priority than the new tpr). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity
