So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

This basically came from the need to be able to boot 32-bit Atom SMP guests on an AMD host, i.e. a host which doesn't support MOVBE. As a matter of fact, qemu has since recently received MOVBE support but we cannot share that with kvm emulation and thus we have to do this in the host. We're waay faster in kvm anyway. :-) So, we piggyback on the #UD path and emulate the MOVBE functionality. With it, an 8-core SMP guest boots in under 6 seconds. Also, requesting MOVBE emulation needs to happen explicitly to work, i.e. qemu -cpu n270,+movbe... Just FYI, a fairly straight-forward boot of a MOVBE-enabled 3.9-rc6+ kernel in kvm executes MOVBE ~60K times.

Add a kvm ioctl which states which system functionality kvm emulates. The format used is that of CPUID and we return the corresponding CPUID bits set for which we do emulate functionality. Make sure ->padding is being passed on clean from userspace so that we can use it for something in the future, after the ioctl gets cast in stone. s/kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid/kvm_dev_ioctl_get_cpuid/ while at it.

In kvm_iommu_map_pages(), we need to know the page size via call kvm_host_page_size(). And it will check whether the target slot is valid before return the right page size. Currently, we will map the iommu pages when creating a new slot. But we call kvm_iommu_map_pages() during preparing the new slot. At that time, the new slot is not visible by domain(still in preparing). So we cannot get the right page size from kvm_host_page_size() and this will break the IOMMU super page logic. The solution is to map the iommu pages after we insert the new slot into domain.

Support transparent huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The transparent_hugepage_adjust is not very pretty, but this is also how it's solved on x86 and seems to be simply an artifact on how THPs behave. This should eventually be shared across architectures if possible, but that can always be changed down the road.

Support huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The pud_huge checking on the unmap path may feel a bit silly as the pud_huge check is always defined to false, but the compiler should be smart about this. Note: This deals only with VMAs marked as huge which are allocated by users through hugetlbfs only. Transparent huge pages can only be detected by looking at the underlying pages (or the page tables themselves) and this patch so far simply maps these on a page-by-page level in the Stage-2 page tables.

On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be running at all. This creates contention, and the observed slowdown is 40x for hackbench. No, this isn't a typo. The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance when the VM is severely overcommited. Quick test to estimate the performance: hackbench 1 process 1000 2xA15 host (baseline): 1.843s 2xA15 guest w/o patch: 2.083s 4xA15 guest w/o patch: 80.212s 8xA15 guest w/o patch: Could not be bothered to find out 2xA15 guest w/ patch: 2.102s 4xA15 guest w/ patch: 3.205s 8xA15 guest w/ patch: 6.887s So we go from a 40x degradation to 1.5x in the 2x overcommit case, which is vaguely more acceptable.

We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973 Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick. Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in a945928e (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed) This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().

Grant Likely authored
This reverts commit 109b6236. Tim Bird expressed concern that this will have a bad effect on boot time, and while simple tests have shown it to be okay with simple tree, a device tree blob can potentially be quite large and add_device_randomness() is not a fast function. Rather than do this for all platforms unconditionally, I'm reverting this patch and would like to see it revisited. Instead of feeding the entire tree into the random pool, it would probably be appropriate to hash the tree and feed the hash result into the pool. There really isn't a lot of randomness in a device tree anyway. In the majority of cases only a handful of properties are going to be different between machines with the same baseboard.

Not all DT platforms have all the cpus collected under a /cpus node. That just happens to be a details of FDT, ePAPR and PowerPC platforms. Sparc does something different, but unfortunately the current code complains with a warning if /cpus isn't there. This became a problem with commit f86e4718, "driver/core cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's device structure", which caused the function to get called for all architectures. This commit is a temporary fix to fail silently if the cpus node isn't present. A proper fix will come later to allow arch code to provide a custom mechanism for decoding the CPU hwid if the 'reg' property isn't appropriate.
