We currently walk the shadow page tables in two places: direct map (for real mode and two dimensional paging) and paging mode shadow. Since we anticipate requiring a third walk (for invlpg), it makes sense to have a generic facility for shadow walk. This patch adds such a shadow walker, walks the page tables and calls a method for every spte encountered. The method can examine the spte, modify it, or even instantiate it. The walk can be aborted by returning nonzero from the method. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Even though we don't share irqs at the moment, we should ensure regular user processes don't try to allocate system resources. We check for capability to access IO devices (CAP_SYS_RAWIO) before we request_irq on behalf of the guest. Noticed by Avi.

Spurious acks can be generated, for example if the PIC is being reset. Handle those acks gracefully rather than flooding the log with warnings. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The irq ack during pic reset has three problems: - Ignores slave/master PIC, using gsi 0-8 for both. - Generates an ACK even if the APIC is in control. - Depends upon IMR being clear, which is broken if the irq was masked at the time it was generated. The last one causes the BIOS to hang after the first reboot of Windows installation, since PIT interrupts stop.

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.

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: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Ben-Ami Yassour authored
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.

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().

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: Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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).

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%.
