KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement, since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit. Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index. (KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)

KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings. This patch makes KVM work when the host has large pages too (tested with 64K). Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We never pass a NULL notifier pointer here, but we may well pass a notifier struct which hasn't previously been registered. Guard against this by using hlist_del_init() which will not do anything if the node hasn't been added to the list and, when removing the node, will ensure that a subsequent call to hlist_del_init() will be fine too. Fixes an oops seen when an assigned device is freed before and IRQ is assigned to it. Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We will obviously never pass a NULL struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier* to this functions. They are always embedded in the assigned device structure, so the assertion add nothing. The irqchip_in_kernel() assertion is very out of place - clearly this little abstraction needs to know nothing about the upper layer details.

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>

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.
