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. This fixes oopses and some guest failures on AMD machines (the Intel variant decodes the instruction in hardware and thus does not need emulation).

2007-07-25KVM: disable writeback for 0x0f 0x01 instructions.Aurelien Jarno
0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those instructions. This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD. Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
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>
2007-07-25KVM: Fix unlikely kvm_create vs decache_vcpus_on_cpu raceRusty Russell
We add the kvm to the vm_list before initializing the vcpu mutexes, which can be mutex_trylock()'ed by decache_vcpus_on_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-07-25KVM: Correctly handle writes crossing a page boundaryAvi Kivity
Writes that are contiguous in virtual memory may not be contiguous in physical memory; so split writes that straddle a page boundary.

2007-07-20KVM: MMU: Fix oopses with SLUBAvi Kivity
The kvm mmu uses page->private on shadow page tables; so does slub, and an oops result. Fix by allocating regular pages for shadows instead of using slub. Tested-by: S.Çağlar Onur <caglar@pardus.org.tr> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-07-20KVM: x86 emulator: implement rdmsr and wrmsrAvi Kivity
Allow real-mode emulation of rdmsr and wrmsr. This allows smp Windows to boot, presumably for its sipi trampoline. 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. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
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).

2007-07-16KVM: Use CPU_DYING for disabling virtualizationAvi Kivity

2007-07-16KVM: Tune hotplug/suspend IPIsAvi Kivity
The hotplug IPIs can be called from the cpu on which we are currently running on, so use on_cpu(). Similarly, drop on_each_cpu() for the suspend/resume callbacks, as we're in atomic context here and only one cpu is up anyway. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2007-07-16KVM: Keep track of which cpus have virtualization enabledAvi Kivity
By keeping track of which cpus have virtualization enabled, we prevent double-enable or double-disable during hotplug, which is a very fatal oops. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2007-07-16KVM: Avoid useless memory write when possibleLuca Tettamanti

2007-07-16KVM: Fix x86 emulator writebackLuca Tettamanti
When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without X86_GOOD_APIC. Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions may disable the writeback).

2007-07-16KVM: VMX: Ensure vcpu time stamp counter is monotonousAvi Kivity
If the time stamp counter goes backwards, a guest delay loop can become infinite. This can happen if a vcpu is migrated to another cpu, where the counter has a lower value than the first cpu. Since we're doing an IPI to the first cpu anyway, we can use that to pick up the old tsc, and use that to calculate the adjustment we need to make to the tsc offset.

2007-07-16KVM: Flush remote tlbs when reducing shadow pte permissionsAvi Kivity
When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by: - setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry - if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it exits before we continue Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
