The s390 backend of kvm never calls kvm_vcpu_uninit. This causes a memory leak of vcpu->run pages. Lets call kvm_vcpu_uninit in kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy to free the vcpu->run.

Currently it is impossible to unload the kvm module on s390. This patch fixes kvm_arch_destroy_vm to release all cpus. This make it possible to unload the module. In addition we stop messing with the module refcount in arch code.

The write protect verification in set_spte is unnecessary for page sync. Its guaranteed that, if the unsync spte was writable, the target page does not have a write protected shadow (if it had, the spte would have been write protected under mmu_lock by rmap_write_protect before). Same reasoning applies to mark_page_dirty: the gfn has been marked as dirty via the pagefault path. The cost of hash table and memslot lookups are quite significant if the workload is pagetable write intensive resulting in increased mmu_lock contention.

Now we use MSI as default one, and translate MSI to INTx when guest need INTx rather than MSI. For legacy device, we provide support for non-sharing host IRQ. Provide a parameter msi2intx for this method. The value is true by default in x86 architecture. We can't guarantee this mode can work on every device, but for most of us tested, it works. If your device encounter some trouble with this mode, you can try set msi2intx modules parameter to 0. If the device is OK with msi2intx=0, then please report it to KVM mailing list or me. We may prepare a blacklist for the device that can't work in this mode. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We enable guest MSI and host MSI support in this patch. The userspace want to enable MSI should set KVM_DEV_IRQ_ASSIGN_ENABLE_MSI in the assigned_irq's flag. Function would return -ENOTTY if can't enable MSI, userspace shouldn't set MSI Enable bit when KVM_ASSIGN_IRQ return -ENOTTY with KVM_DEV_IRQ_ASSIGN_ENABLE_MSI. Userspace can tell the support of MSI device from #ifdef KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Currently, we only set the KVM paravirt signature in case of CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. However, it is possible to have it turned off, while CONFIG_KVM_CLOCK is turned on. This is also a paravirt case, and should be shown accordingly. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

If we're injecting an interrupt, and another one is pending, request an interrupt window notification so we don't have excess latency on the second interrupt. This shouldn't happen in practice since an EOI will be issued, giving a second chance to request an interrupt window, but... Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

On emergency_restart, we may need to use an NMI to disable virtualization on all CPUs. We do that using nmi_shootdown_cpus() if VMX is enabled. Note: With this patch, we will run the NMI stuff only when the CPU where emergency_restart() was called has VMX enabled. This should work on most cases because KVM enables VMX on all CPUs, but we may miss the small window where KVM is doing that. Also, I don't know if all code using VMX out there always enable VMX on all CPUs like KVM does. We have two other alternatives for that: a) Have an API that all code that enables VMX on any CPU should use to tell the kernel core that it is going to enable VMX on the CPUs. b) Always call nmi_shootdown_cpus() if the CPU supports VMX. This is a bit intrusive and more risky, as it would run nmi_shootdown_cpus() on emergency_reboot() even on systems where virtualization is never enabled. Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly. The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.

We need to disable virtualization extensions on all CPUs before booting the kdump kernel, otherwise the kdump kernel booting will fail, and rebooting after the kdump kernel did its task may also fail. We do it using cpu_emergency_vmxoff() and cpu_emergency_svm_disable(), that should always work, because those functions check if the CPUs support SVM or VMX before doing their tasks.

We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path ended up using stale mappings. Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the guest kernel could insert any for process B.

Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address through that mapping, it's marked Guarded. However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so let's allow prefetching as the designers intended. Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I tried, but it's clearly the right thing to do anyways and may improve other workloads.
