2007-10-13KVM: Use the scheduler preemption notifiers to make kvm preemptibleAvi Kivity
Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during the switch to guest mode and back. Contains fixes from Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-10-13KVM: add hypercall nr to kvm_runJeff Dike
Add the hypercall number to kvm_run and initialize it. This changes the ABI, but as this particular ABI was unusable before this no users are affected. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-10-13KVM: VMX: Improve the method of writing vmcs controlYang, Sheng

2007-10-13KVM: Dynamically allocate vcpusRusty Russell
This patch converts the vcpus array in "struct kvm" to a pointer array, and changes the "vcpu_create" and "vcpu_setup" hooks into one "vcpu_create" call which does the allocation and initialization of the vcpu (calling back into the kvm_vcpu_init core helper).

2007-10-13KVM: load_pdptrs() cleanupsRusty Russell
load_pdptrs can be handed an invalid cr3, and it should not oops. This can happen because we injected #gp in set_cr3() after we set vcpu->cr3 to the invalid value, or from kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs(), or memory configuration changes after the guest did set_cr3(). We should also copy the pdpte array once, before checking and assigning, otherwise an SMP guest can potentially alter the values between the check and the set. Finally one nitpick: ret = 1 should be done as late as possible: this allows GCC to check for unset "ret" should the function change in future.

2007-10-13KVM: VMX: Import some constants of vmcs from IA32 SDMYang, Sheng

2007-10-13KVM: Trivial: Use standard BITMAP macros, open-code userspace-exposed headerRusty Russell

2007-09-14KVM: MMU: Fix rare oops on guest context switchAvi Kivity
A guest context switch to an uncached cr3 can require allocation of shadow pages, but we only recycle shadow pages in kvm_mmu_page_fault().

2007-08-19KVM: Avoid calling smp_call_function_single() with interrupts disabledAvi Kivity
When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it. Unfortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is called with interrupts disabled, which means we can't use smp_call_function_single(). Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu, so we don't need to use the function at all and can simply call hardware_disable() directly.

2007-08-06KVM: x86 emulator: fix debug reg mov instructionsAvi Kivity
More fallout from the writeback fixes: debug register transfer instructions do their own writeback and thus need to disable the general writeback mechanism.

2007-07-25KVM: Fix removal of nx capability from guest cpuidAvi Kivity
Testing the wrong bit caused kvm not to disable nx on the guest when it is disabled on the host (an mmu optimization relies on the nx bits being the same in the guest and host). This allows Windows to boot when nx is disabled on te host (e.g. when host pae is disabled). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-07-25Revert "KVM: Avoid useless memory write when possible"Avi Kivity
This reverts commit a3c870bdce4d34332ebdba7eb9969592c4c6b243. While it does save useless updates, it (probably) defeats the fork detector, causing a massive performance loss. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2007-07-20KVM: Fix memory slot management functions for guest smpAvi Kivity
The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where they should be kvm-wide. This causes hangs starting X on guest smp. Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific. Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit. We may have to revisit this later.

2007-07-20KVM: MMU: Store nx bit for large page shadowsAvi Kivity
We need to distinguish between large page shadows which have the nx bit set and those which don't. The problem shows up when booting a newer smp Linux kernel, where the trampoline page (which is in real mode, which uses the same shadow pages as large pages) is using the same mapping as a kernel data page, which is mapped using nx, causing kvm to spin on that page.

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-19i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpaeAvi Kivity
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family. Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(), this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae. Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).
