If KVM sees a read-only host page, it will map it as read-only to prevent breaking a COW. However, if the page was part of a large guest page, KVM incorrectly extends the write protection to the entire large page frame instead of limiting it to the normal host page. This results in the instantiation of a new shadow page with read-only access. If this happens for a MOVS instruction that moves memory between two normal pages, within a single large page frame, and mapped within the guest as a large page, and if, in addition, the source operand is not writeable in the host (perhaps due to KSM), then KVM will instantiate a read-only direct shadow page, instantiate an spte for the source operand, then instantiate a new read/write direct shadow page and instantiate an spte for the destination operand. Since these two sptes are in different shadow pages, MOVS will never see them at the same time and the guest will not make progress. Fix by mapping the direct shadow page read/write, and only marking the host page read-only. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch implements the xsetbv intercept to the AMD part of KVM. This makes AVX usable in a save way for the guest on AVX capable AMD hardware. The patch is tested by using AVX in the guest and host in parallel and checking for data corruption. I also used the KVM xsave unit-tests and they all pass.

Large page information has two elements but one of them, write_count, alone is accessed by a helper function. This patch replaces this helper function with more generic one which returns newly named kvm_lpage_info structure and use it to access the other element rmap_pde.

In certain use-cases, we want to allocate guests fixed time slices where idle guest cycles leave the machine idling. There are many approaches to achieve this but the most direct is to simply avoid trapping the HLT instruction which lets the guest directly execute the instruction putting the processor to sleep. Introduce this as a module-level option for kvm-vmx.ko since if you do this for one guest, you probably want to do it for all.

This patch replaces all calls to force_new_asid which are intended to flush the guest-tlb by the more appropriate function svm_flush_tlb. As a side-effect the force_new_asid function is removed. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This function is unused and there is svm_flush_tlb which does the same. So this function can be removed. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

It's the speculative path if 'no_apf = 1' and we will specially handle this speculative path in the later patch, so 'prefault' is better to fit the sense. Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch adds the clean bit for the physical addresses of the MSRPM and the IOPM. It does not need to be set in the code because the only place where these values are changed is the nested-svm vmrun and vmexit path. These functions already mark the complete VMCB as dirty.

If we execute VMREAD during reboot we'll just skip over it. Instead of returning garbage, return 0, which has a much smaller chance of confusing the code. Otherwise we risk a flood of debug printk()s which block the reboot process if a serial console or netconsole is enabled. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Since vmx blocks INIT signals, we disable virtualization extensions during reboot. This leads to virtualization instructions faulting; we trap these faults and spin while the reboot continues. Unfortunately spinning on a non-preemptible kernel may block a task that reboot depends on; this causes the reboot to hang. Fix by skipping over the instruction and hoping for the best.

This patch prevents that emulation failures which result from emulating an instruction for an L2-Guest results in being reported to userspace. Without this patch a malicious L2-Guest would be able to kill the L1 by triggering a race-condition between an vmexit and the instruction emulator. With this patch the L2 will most likely only kill itself in this situation. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

Currently page fault cr2 and nesting infomation are carried outside the fault data structure. Instead they are placed in the vcpu struct, which results in confusion as global variables are manipulated instead of passing parameters. Fix this issue by adding address and nested fields to struct x86_exception, so this struct can carry all information associated with a fault.
