2009-03-24KVM: New guest debug interfaceJan Kiszka
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug registers is layed. To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to tell debug events properly apart. The availability of this new interface is signaled by KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are provided. Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

2009-03-24KVM: VMX: Support for injecting software exceptionsJan Kiszka
VMX differentiates between processor and software generated exceptions when injecting them into the guest. Extend vmx_queue_exception accordingly (and refactor related constants) so that we can use this service reliably for the new guest debugging framework.

Some msrs (notable MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE) are held in the processor registers and need to be flushed to the vcpu struture before they can be read. This fixes cygwin longjmp() failure on Windows x64. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2008-12-31KVM: x86: Rework user space NMI injection as KVM_CAP_USER_NMIJan Kiszka
There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/ request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be handled while processing the first one. Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: Conditionally request interrupt window after injecting irqAvi Kivity
If we're injecting an interrupt, and another one is pending, request an interrupt window notification so we don't have excess latency on the second interrupt. This shouldn't happen in practice since an EOI will be issued, giving a second chance to request an interrupt window, but... Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: Handle mmio emulation when guest state is invalidGuillaume Thouvenin
If emulate_invalid_guest_state is enabled, the emulator is called when guest state is invalid. Until now, we reported an mmio failure when emulate_instruction() returned EMULATE_DO_MMIO. This patch adds the case where emulate_instruction() failed and an MMIO emulation is needed.

2008-12-31KVM: allow emulator to adjust rip for emulated pio instructionsGuillaume Thouvenin
If we call the emulator we shouldn't call skip_emulated_instruction() in the first place, since the emulator already computes the next rip for us. Thus we move ->skip_emulated_instruction() out of kvm_emulate_pio() and into handle_io() (and the svm equivalent). We also replaced "return 0" by "break" in the "do_io:" case because now the shadow register state needs to be committed. Otherwise eip will never be updated.

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: Move private memory slot positionSheng Yang

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: Add PAT support for EPTSheng Yang
GUEST_PAT support is a new feature introduced by Intel Core i7 architecture. With this, cpu would save/load guest and host PAT automatically, for EPT memory type in guest depends on MSR_IA32_CR_PAT.

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: work around lacking VNMI supportJan Kiszka
Older VMX supporting CPUs do not provide the "Virtual NMI" feature for tracking the NMI-blocked state after injecting such events. For now KVM is unable to inject NMIs on those CPUs. Derived from Sheng Yang's suggestion to use the IRQ window notification for detecting the end of NMI handlers, this patch implements virtual NMI support without impact on the host's ability to receive real NMIs. The downside is that the given approach requires some heuristics that can cause NMI nesting in vary rare corner cases. The approach works as follows: - inject NMI and set a software-based NMI-blocked flag - arm the IRQ window start notification whenever an NMI window is requested - if the guest exits due to an opening IRQ window, clear the emulated NMI-blocked flag - if the guest net execution time with NMI-blocked but without an IRQ window exceeds 1 second, force NMI-blocked reset and inject anyway This approach covers most practical scenarios: - succeeding NMIs are seperated by at least one open IRQ window - the guest may spin with IRQs disabled (e.g. due to a bug), but leaving the NMI handler takes much less time than one second - the guest does not rely on strict ordering or timing of NMIs (would be problematic in virtualized environments anyway) Successfully tested with the 'nmi n' monitor command, the kgdbts testsuite on smp guests (additional patches required to add debug register support to kvm) + the kernel's nmi_watchdog=1, and a Siemens- specific board emulation (+ guest) that comes with its own NMI watchdog mechanism.

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: refactor IRQ and NMI window enablingJan Kiszka
do_interrupt_requests and vmx_intr_assist go different way for achieving the same: enabling the nmi/irq window start notification. Unify their code over enable_{irq|nmi}_window, get rid of a redundant call to enable_intr_window instead of direct enable_nmi_window invocation and unroll enable_intr_window for both in-kernel and user space irq injection accordingly.

2008-12-31KVM: VMX: refactor/fix IRQ and NMI injectability determinationJan Kiszka
There are currently two ways in VMX to check if an IRQ or NMI can be injected: - vmx_{nmi|irq}_enabled and - vcpu.arch.{nmi|interrupt}_window_open. Even worse, one test (at the end of vmx_vcpu_run) uses an inconsistent, likely incorrect logic. This patch consolidates and unifies the tests over {nmi|interrupt}_window_open as cache + vmx_update_window_states for updating the cache content.

2008-11-23KVM: VMX: Fix interrupt loss during race with NMIAvi Kivity
If an interrupt cannot be injected for some reason (say, page fault when fetching the IDT descriptor), the interrupt is marked for reinjection. However, if an NMI is queued at this time, the NMI will be injected instead and the NMI will be lost. Fix by deferring the NMI injection until the interrupt has been injected successfully.

2008-11-11KVM: VMX: Set IGMT bit in EPT entrySheng Yang
There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory, which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to inconsistent cache attribute. The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).

2008-10-15KVM: VMX: Reinject real mode exceptionJan Kiszka
As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be raised in real mode. This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its debug.com work properly. Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done once base patches for QEMU have been accepted).

2008-10-15KVM: VMX: Fix pending exception processingAvi Kivity
The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however: if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume the first exception was not delivered. Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it (or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Instead of processing nmi injection failure in the vm entry path, move it to the vm exit path (vm_complete_interrupts()).
