VFIO has proved itself a much better option than KVM's built-in device assignment. It is mature, provides better isolation because it enforces ACS, and even the userspace code is being tested on a wider variety of hardware these days than the legacy support. Disable legacy device assignment by default. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Let's remove "kvm-s390" from our printk messages and make use of pr_fmt instead. Also replace one printk() occurrence by a equivalent pr_warn on the way.

Thinking about it, I can't find a real use case where we want to block a VCPU and not kick it out of SIE. (except if we want to do the same in batch for multiple VCPUs - but that's a micro optimization) So let's simply perform the exit_sie() calls directly when setting the other magic block bits in the SIE. Otherwise e.g. kvm_s390_set_tod_low() still has other VCPUs running after that call, working with a wrong epoch.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more than one address space will be supported. Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted away in two places. Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures, and is left for later.

gfn_to_pfn_async is used in just one place, and because of x86-specific treatment that place will need to look at the memory slot. Hence inline it into try_async_pf and export __gfn_to_pfn_memslot. The patch also switches the subsequent call to gfn_to_pfn_prot to use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot. This is a small optimization. Finally, remove the now-unused async argument of __gfn_to_pfn.

When a REP-string is executed in 64-bit mode with an address-size prefix, ECX/EDI/ESI are used as counter and pointers. When ECX is initially zero, Intel CPUs clear the high 32-bits of RCX, and recent Intel CPUs update the high bits of the pointers in MOVS/STOS. This behavior is specific to Intel according to few experiments. As one may guess, this is an undocumented behavior. Yet, it is observable in the guest, since at least VMX traps REP-INS/OUTS even when ECX=0. Note that VMware appears to get it right. The behavior can be observed using the following code: #include <stdio.h> #define LOW_MASK (0xffffffff00000000ull) #define ALL_MASK (0xffffffffffffffffull) #define TEST(opcode) \ do { \ asm volatile(".byte 0xf2 \n\t .byte 0x67 \n\t .byte " opcode "\n\t" \ : "=S"(s), "=c"(c), "=D"(d) \ : "S"(ALL_MASK), "c"(LOW_MASK), "D"(ALL_MASK)); \ printf("opcode %s rcx=%llx rsi=%llx rdi=%llx\n", \ opcode, c, s, d); \ } while(0) void main() { unsigned long long s, d, c; iopl(3); TEST("0x6c"); TEST("0x6d"); TEST("0x6e"); TEST("0x6f"); TEST("0xa4"); TEST("0xa5"); TEST("0xa6"); TEST("0xa7"); TEST("0xaa"); TEST("0xab"); TEST("0xae"); TEST("0xaf"); } Signed-off-by: Nadav Amit <namit@cs.technion.ac.il> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
