x86/kvm/hyper-v: Explicitly align hcall param for kvm_hyperv_exit

2020-06-20T08:24:14Z

[ Upstream commit f7d31e65368aeef973fab788aa22c4f1d5a6af66 ] The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit modes. In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps. This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has to work with 32 bit kernel. The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace with 64 bit kernel' one. As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

KVM: x86: Add a framework for supporting MSR-based features

2018-08-15T16:14:52Z

commit 801e459a6f3a63af9d447e6249088c76ae16efc4 upstream Provide a new KVM capability that allows bits within MSRs to be recognized as features. Two new ioctls are added to the /dev/kvm ioctl routine to retrieve the list of these MSRs and then retrieve their values. A kvm_x86_ops callback is used to determine support for the listed MSR-based features.

kvm: kvmclock: let KVM_GET_CLOCK return whether the master clock is in use

2016-11-19T18:04:16Z

Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock is stable across all VCPUs.

KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM

2016-08-01T17:42:06Z

Introduce a new KVM capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM, that can be queried to determine if a PowerPC KVM guest should use HTM (Hardware Transactional Memory). This will be used by QEMU to populate the pa-features bits in the guest's device tree. Signed-off-by: Sam Bobroff Reviewed-by: David Gibson Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: api: Pass the devid in the msi routing entry

2016-07-22T17:51:49Z

On ARM, the MSI msg (address and data) comes along with out-of-band device ID information. The device ID encodes the device that writes the MSI msg. Let's convey the device id in kvm_irq_routing_msi and use KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag value in kvm_irq_routing_entry to indicate the msi devid is populated.

KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Introduce new KVM ITS device

2016-07-18T17:14:35Z

Introduce a new KVM device that represents an ARM Interrupt Translation Service (ITS) controller. Since there can be multiple of this per guest, we can't piggy back on the existing GICv3 distributor device, but create a new type of KVM device. On the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl we allocate and initialize the ITS data structure and store the pointer in the kvm_device data. Upon an explicit init ioctl from userland (after having setup the MMIO address) we register the handlers with the kvm_io_bus framework. Any reference to an ITS thus has to go via this interface.

KVM: Extend struct kvm_msi to hold a 32-bit device ID

2016-07-18T17:10:21Z

The ARM GICv3 ITS MSI controller requires a device ID to be able to assign the proper interrupt vector. On real hardware, this ID is sampled from the bus. To be able to emulate an ITS controller, extend the KVM MSI interface to let userspace provide such a device ID. For PCI devices, the device ID is simply the 16-bit bus-device-function triplet, which should be easily available to the userland tool. Also there is a new KVM capability which advertises whether the current VM requires a device ID to be set along with the MSI data. This flag is still reported as not available everywhere, later we will enable it when ITS emulation is used.
