2009-09-10KVM: VMX: Introduce KVM_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR ioctlSheng Yang
Now KVM allow guest to modify guest's physical address of EPT's identity mapping page. (change from v1, discard unnecessary check, change ioctl to accept parameter address rather than value) Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2009-09-10KVM: add ioeventfd supportGregory Haskins
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd to a specific end-point of interest for handling. Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller. Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM "heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu. However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the system, as well as latency to the signalling path. Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components. To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling from either an eventfd, or an ioctl(). We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via ioeventfd. You can download this test harness here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2 The measured results are as follows: qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO, and -350ns for HC, we get: qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data. Here is a graph for your convenience: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace hop. -------------------- Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

2009-09-10KVM: PIT support for HPET legacy modeBeth Kon
When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit timer. The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to 0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later reenablement.

2009-09-10KVM: Allow PIT emulation without speaker portJan Kiszka
The in-kernel speaker emulation is only a dummy and also unneeded from the performance point of view. Rather, it takes user space support to generate sound output on the host, e.g. console beeps. To allow this, introduce KVM_CREATE_PIT2 which controls in-kernel speaker port emulation via a flag passed along the new IOCTL.

2009-09-10KVM: irqfdGregory Haskins
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86). Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices, pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available interrupt window.

2009-06-10KVM: Device assignment framework reworkSheng Yang
After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo suggest to split it into a more elegant way: 1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to enable MSI to INTx convertion. 2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls: KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ. This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the old interface).

2009-06-10KVM: Enable MSI-X for KVM assigned deviceSheng Yang
This patch finally enable MSI-X. What we need for MSI-X: 1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY. 2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done. 3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi. What we lack for now: 1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first step (so they are always 0 - no pending). 2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way. 3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace should have reposibility to handle it. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2009-03-24KVM: Userspace controlled irq routingAvi Kivity
Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely, 0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to the IOAPIC). This is insufficient for several reasons: - HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt - MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them - ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the ioapics This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table. The routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

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.

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).

2008-07-20KVM: Add coalesced MMIO support (common part)Laurent Vivier
This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs. Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled. Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that can be coalesced: - KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone. It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX. - KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone). The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability. The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported, or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer. The page offset depends on the architecture. After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure.

2008-04-27KVM: ppc: Add DCR access information to struct kvm_runHollis Blanchard
Device Control Registers are essentially another address space found on PowerPC 4xx processors, analogous to PIO on x86. DCRs are always 32 bits, and can be identified by a 32-bit number. We forward most DCR accesses to userspace for emulation (with the exception of CPR0 registers, which can be read directly for simplicity in timebase frequency determination).
