There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set, the module reference count of owner is decreases on release. ("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put") On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference count of owner. This causes two problems: - if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative - if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner handling. I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner, thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an epoll_open/close test. Signed-off-by:Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by:

kvm_get_tsc_khz() currently returns the previously-calculated preset_lpj value, but it is in loops-per-jiffy, not kHz. The current code works correctly only when HZ=1000. Signed-off-by:

Instead of invoking the handler directly collect pages into an array so the caller can work with it. Simplifies TLB flush collapsing. Signed-off-by:

The VMMCALL instruction doesn't get recognised and isn't processed by the emulator. This is seen on an Intel host that tries to execute the VMMCALL instruction after a guest live migrates from an AMD host. Signed-off-by:

Instruction like shld has three operands, so we need to add a Src2 decode set. We start with Src2None, Src2CL, and Src2ImmByte, Src2One to support shld/shrd and we will expand it later. Signed-off-by:

Right now, KVM does not remove a slot when we do a register ioctl for size 0 (would be the expected behaviour). Instead, we only mark it as empty, but keep all bitmaps and allocated data structures present. It completely nullifies our chances of reusing that same slot again for mapping a different piece of memory. In this patch, we destroy rmaps, and vfree() the pointers that used to hold the dirty bitmap, rmap and lpage_info structures. Signed-off-by:

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).

Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch (instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on 440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate. Signed-off-by:
-
Hollis Blanchard authored
Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry. Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits, at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some guest entries. These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the need to walk arrays in software). In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

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.) Signed-off-by:

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:

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:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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:

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:
