2008-03-04KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus
This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore. Signed-off-by: Izik Eidus <izike@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Move apic timer migration away from critical sectionAvi Kivity
Migrating the apic timer in the critical section is not very nice, and is absolutely horrible with the real-time port. Move migration to the regular vcpu execution path, triggered by a new bitflag. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlockMarcelo Tosatti
Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock spinlock. Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias and memslot changes. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Add kvm_read_guest_atomic()Marcelo Tosatti
In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic() and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page(). Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: local APIC TPR access reporting facilityAvi Kivity
Add a facility to report on accesses to the local apic tpr even if the local apic is emulated in the kernel. This is basically a hack that allows userspace to patch Windows which tends to bang on the tpr a lot. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Move kvm_vcpu_kick() to x86.cZhang Xiantao
Moving kvm_vcpu_kick() to x86.c. Since it should be common for all archs, put its declarations in <linux/kvm_host.h> Signed-off-by: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Move arch dependent files to new directory arch/x86/kvm/Avi Kivity
This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
