2012-03-08KVM: use correct tlbs dirty type in cmpxchgAlex Shi
Using 'int' type is not suitable for a 'long' object. So, correct it. Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2012-03-08KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settingsAvi Kivity
If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences. Fix by: - ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called - ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without kvm->lock held.

2012-03-08KVM: Simplify ifndef conditional usage in __kvm_set_memory_region()Takuya Yoshikawa
Narrow down the controlled text inside the conditional so that it will include lpage_info and rmap stuff only. For this we change the way we check whether the slot is being created from "if (npages && !new.rmap)" to "if (npages && !old.npages)". We also stop checking if lpage_info is NULL when we create lpage_info because we do it from inside the slot creation code block.

2012-03-05KVM: Move gfn_to_memslot() to kvm_host.hPaul Mackerras
This moves __gfn_to_memslot() and search_memslots() from kvm_main.c to kvm_host.h to reduce the code duplication caused by the need for non-modular code in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c to call gfn_to_memslot() in real mode. Rather than putting gfn_to_memslot() itself in a header, which would lead to increased code size, this puts __gfn_to_memslot() in a header. Then, the non-modular uses of gfn_to_memslot() are changed to call __gfn_to_memslot() instead. This way there is only one place in the source code that needs to be changed should the gfn_to_memslot() implementation need to be modified. On powerpc, the Book3S HV style of KVM has code that is called from real mode which needs to call gfn_to_memslot() and thus needs this. (Module code is allocated in the vmalloc region, which can't be accessed in real mode.) With this, we can remove builtin_gfn_to_memslot() from book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c.

2012-03-05KVM: Add barriers to allow mmu_notifier_retry to be used locklesslyPaul Mackerras
This adds an smp_wmb in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and an smp_rmb in mmu_notifier_retry() so that mmu_notifier_retry() will give the correct answer when called without kvm->mmu_lock being held. PowerPC Book3S HV KVM wants to use a bitlock per guest page rather than a single global spinlock in order to improve the scalability of updates to the guest MMU hashed page table, and so needs this.

2012-03-05KVM: s390: add parameter for KVM_CREATE_VMCarsten Otte
This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created virtual machine. The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures. The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL. This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled virtual machine on s390 architectures.

2012-02-01KVM: Fix __set_bit() race in mark_page_dirty() during dirty loggingTakuya Yoshikawa
It is possible that the __set_bit() in mark_page_dirty() is called simultaneously on the same region of memory, which may result in only one bit being set, because some callers do not take mmu_lock before mark_page_dirty(). This problem is hard to produce because when we reach mark_page_dirty() beginning from, e.g., tdp_page_fault(), mmu_lock is being held during __direct_map(): making kvm-unit-tests' dirty log api test write to two pages concurrently was not useful for this reason. So we have confirmed that there can actually be race condition by checking if some callers really reach there without holding mmu_lock using spin_is_locked(): probably they were from kvm_write_guest_page(). To fix this race, this patch changes the bit operation to the atomic version: note that nr_dirty_pages also suffers from the race but we do not need exactly correct numbers for now.

2011-09-25KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O busSasha Levin
Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO) is to call the read or write callback for each device registered on the bus until we find a device which handles it. Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO operation. Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear search. Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with 200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits). Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

2011-07-24KVM: MMU: mmio page fault supportXiao Guangrong
The idea is from Avi: | We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and | checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or | ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to | search the slot list/tree. | (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221) When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for soft mmu.

2011-06-06KVM: Initialize kvm before registering the mmu notifierMike Waychison
It doesn't make sense to ever see a half-initialized kvm structure on mmu notifier callbacks. Previously, 85722cda changed the ordering to ensure that the mmu_lock was initialized before mmu notifier registration, but there is still a race where the mmu notifier could come in and try accessing other portions of struct kvm before they are intialized. Solve this by moving the mmu notifier registration to occur after the structure is completely initialized.

But it is also possible that the underlying memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated. __get_user_pages can catch these situations.
