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.

Modify member in_range() of structure kvm_io_device to pass length and the type of the I/O (write or read). This modification allows to use kvm_io_device with coalesced MMIO. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-06-24KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_runMarcelo Tosatti
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit. It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen. For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

2008-06-06KVM: migrate PIT timerMarcelo Tosatti
Migrate the PIT timer to the physical CPU which vcpu0 is scheduled on, similarly to what is done for the LAPIC timers, otherwise PIT interrupts will be delayed until an unrelated event causes an exit. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27KVM: kill file->f_count abuse in kvmAl Viro
Use kvm own refcounting instead of playing with ->filp->f_count. That will allow to get rid of a lot of crap in anon_inode_getfd() and kill a race in kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vm() (file might have been closed immediately by another thread, so ->filp might point to already freed struct file when we get around to setting it).

2008-04-27KVM: hlt emulation should take in-kernel APIC/PIT timers into accountMarcelo Tosatti
Timers that fire between guest hlt and vcpu_block's add_wait_queue() are ignored, possibly resulting in hangs. Also make sure that atomic_inc and waitqueue_active tests happen in the specified order, otherwise the following race is open: CPU0 CPU1 if (waitqueue_active(wq)) add_wait_queue() if (!atomic_read(pit_timer->pending)) schedule() atomic_inc(pit_timer->pending) Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-04-27KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86Anthony Liguori
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86 MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn. We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will succeed. This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight forward. Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel, AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

2008-04-27KVM: detect if VCPU triple faultsJoerg Roedel
In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.

2008-04-27KVM: MMU: large page supportMarcelo Tosatti
Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed. If the largepage contains write-protected pages, a large pte is not used. Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted filesystem, without NPT/EPT. Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT.

2008-04-27KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root pagetablesMarcelo Tosatti
Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup. This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup if the instruction can't be emulated.
