We're in a hot path. We can't use kmalloc() because it might impact performance. So, we just stick the buffer that we need into the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. This is used very often, so it is not really a waste. We also have to move the buffer structure's definition to the arch-specific x86 kvm header. Signed-off-by:

On my machine with gcc 3.4, kvm uses ~2k of stack in a few select functions. This is mostly because gcc fails to notice that the different case: statements could have their stack usage combined. It overflows very nicely if interrupts happen during one of these large uses. This patch uses two methods for reducing stack usage. 1. dynamically allocate large objects instead of putting on the stack. 2. Use a union{} member for all of the case variables. This tricks gcc into combining them all into a single stack allocation. (There's also a comment on this) Signed-off-by: -

Based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com> This patch adds support for handling PCI devices that are assigned to the guest. The device to be assigned to the guest is registered in the host kernel and interrupt delivery is handled. If a device is already assigned, or the device driver for it is still loaded on the host, the device assignment is failed by conveying a -EBUSY reply to the userspace. Devices that share their interrupt line are not supported at the moment. By itself, this patch will not make devices work within the guest. The VT-d extension is required to enable the device to perform DMA. Another alternative is PVDMA. Signed-off-by:

Userspace may specify memory slots that are backed by mmio pages rather than normal RAM. In some cases it is not enough to identify these mmio pages by pfn_valid(). This patch adds checking the PageReserved as well. Signed-off-by:

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes. This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should, and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a nasty bug. Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it preset. Signed-off-by:

KVM intends to use paravirt code to calibrate khz. Xen current code will do just fine. So as a first step, factor out code to pvclock.c. Signed-off-by:

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases: 1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set. This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if guest executes hlt at this point). 2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single pt->pending count. Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.

Based on a patch from: Ben-Ami Yassour <benami@il.ibm.com> which was based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com> Notify IRQ acking on PIC/APIC emulation. The previous patch missed two things: - Edge triggered interrupts on IOAPIC - PIC reset with IRR/ISR set should be equivalent to ack (LAPIC probably needs something similar). Signed-off-by:

This can be used by kvm subsystems that are interested in when interrupts are acked, for example time drift compensation. Signed-off-by: -

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be modified in a single exit. Guest boot time performance improvement: about 15%. Signed-off-by:

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%. Signed-off-by:

Netware writes to DEBUGCTL and reads from the DEBUGCTL and LAST*IP MSRs without further checks and is really confused to receive a #GP during that. To make it happy we should just make them stubs, which is exactly what SVM already does. Writes to DEBUGCTL that are vendor-specific are resembled to behave as if the virtual CPU does not know them.

The current kvmtrace code uses get_cycles() while the interpretation would be easier using using nanoseconds. ktime_get() should give at least the same accuracy as get_cycles on all architectures (even better on 32bit archs) but at a better unit (e.g. comparable between hosts with different frequencies.

This patch fixes kvmtrace use on big endian systems. When using bit fields the compiler will lay data out in the wrong order expected when laid down into a file. This fixes it by using one variable instead of using bit fields. Signed-off-by:

As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be raised in real mode. This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its debug.com work properly. Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done once base patches for QEMU have been accepted). Signed-off-by:

Instead of looking at failed injections in the vm entry path, move processing to the exit path in vmx_complete_interrupts(). This simplifes the logic and removes any state that is hidden in vmx registers. Signed-off-by: -

The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however: if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume the first exception was not delivered. Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it (or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field. Signed-off-by: -

If we're emulating an instruction, either it will succeed, in which case any previously queued exception will be spurious, or we will requeue the same exception. Signed-off-by: -

Instead of processing nmi injection failure in the vm entry path, move it to the vm exit path (vm_complete_interrupts()). This separates nmi injection from nmi post-processing, and moves the nmi state from the VT state into vcpu state (new variable nmi_injected specifying an injection in progress). Signed-off-by: -

Currently most interrupt exit processing is handled on the entry path, which is confusing. Move the NMI IRET fault processing to a new function, vmx_complete_interrupts(), which is called on the vmexit path. Signed-off-by: -
