2008-07-20KVM: Support mixed endian machinesTan, Li
Currently kvmtrace is not portable. This will prevent from copying a trace file from big-endian target to little-endian workstation for analysis. In the patch, kernel outputs metadata containing a magic number to trace log, and changes 64-bit words to be u64 instead of a pair of u32s.

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. The MMIO ring buffer is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

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).

2008-04-27KVM: s390: intercepts for diagnose instructionsChristian Borntraeger
This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts. Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch features the following diagnose codes: - vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout - time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way - ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL which causes a reboot of the machine.

2008-04-27KVM: s390: interrupt subsystem, cpu timer, waitpswCarsten Otte
This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic) including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait (similar to in kernel hlt). In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions. This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating. Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration. The following interrupts are supported: SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a (stopped) remote cpu INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed and for smp_call_function() in the guest. PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal instruction and friends RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system service processor struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390. kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value and sleep on a wait queue.

2008-04-27KVM: s390: sie intercept handlingChristian Borntraeger
This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(), or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP. In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support, kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return -EREMOTE. The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch: handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support at all handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to userland after updating our vcpu state handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request to userland Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27KVM: s390: arch backend for the kvm kernel moduleHeiko Carstens
This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries (aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each. This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible. The following source files are introduced by this patch arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into sie64a to enter the guest machine context arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S assembler function sie64a, which enters guest context via SIE, and switches world before and after that include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run virtual machines on the mainframe include/asm-s390/kvm.h defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to guest register content arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h header file for kvm-s390 internals, extended by later patches Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-03-03KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm propertyAvi Kivity
One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm. As such, it is useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first. Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is to move it to the device ioctl handler. The capability identifier is also changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-01-30KVM: Enhance guest cpuid managementDan Kenigsberg
The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit passing through the host feature set to the guest: - No way to tell which features the host supports While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others need explicit support. That means kvm needs to vet the feature set before it is passed to the guest. - No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same input returns different output). The current cpuid machinery only supports keying on eax. - No support for save/restore/migrate The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can be saved or migrated. This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls: - KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm) supports - KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table - KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state [avi: fix original KVM_SET_CPUID not removing nx on non-nx hosts as it did before] Signed-off-by: Dan Kenigsberg <danken@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
