By chance this caused no harm so far. We overwrite AX during switch to/from guest context, so we must declare this. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Fix a hang during SMP kernel boot on KVM that showed up after commit 489fb490 (2.6.35) and 59aab522 (2.6.34.1). The problem only occurs when CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is set. KVM-Stable-Tag. Signed-off-by: Arjan Koers <0h61vkll2ly8@xutrox.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Negate the effects of AN TYM spell while kvm thread is preempted by tracking conversion factor to the highest TSC rate and catching the TSC up when it has fallen behind the kernel view of time. Note that once triggered, we don't turn off catchup mode. A slightly more clever version of this is possible, which only does catchup when TSC rate drops, and which specifically targets only CPUs with broken TSC, but since these all are considered unstable_tsc(), this patch covers all necessary cases.

The math in kvm_get_time_scale relies on the fact that NSEC_PER_SEC < 2^32. To use the same function to compute arbitrary time scales, we must extend the first reduction step to shrink the base rate to a 32-bit value, and possibly reduce the scaled rate into a 32-bit as well. Note we must take care to avoid an arithmetic overflow when scaling up the tps32 value (this could not happen with the fixed scaled value of NSEC_PER_SEC, but can happen with scaled rates above 2^31.

It doesn't really matter, but if we spin, we should spin in a more relaxed manner. This way, if something goes wrong at least it won't contribute to global warming. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This adds a wrapper function kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt() around the emulator function emulate_int_real() to allow real mode interrupt injection.

Nested SVM checks for external interrupt after injecting nested exception. In case there is external interrupt pending the code generates "external interrupt exit" and overwrites previous exit info. If previously injected exception already generated exit it will be lost.

The PIC code used to be called from preempt_disable() context, which wasn't very good for PREEMPT_RT. That is no longer the case, so move back from raw_spinlock_t to spinlock_t.

If preempted after kvmclock values are updated, but before hardware virtualization is entered, the last tsc time as read by the guest is never set. It underflows the next time kvmclock is updated if there has not yet been a successful entry / exit into hardware virt. Fix this by simply setting last_tsc to the newly read tsc value so that any computed nsec advance of kvmclock is nulled.

This patch moves the detection whether a page-fault was nested or not out of the error code and moves it into a separate variable in the fault struct. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Change the interrupt injection code to work from preemptible, interrupts enabled context. This works by adding a ->cancel_injection() operation that undoes an injection in case we were not able to actually enter the guest (this condition could never happen with atomic injection).

Currently vmx_complete_interrupts() can decode event information from vmx exit fields into the generic kvm event queues. Make it able to decode the information from the entry fields as well by parametrizing it. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

vmx_complete_interrupts() does too much, split it up: - vmx_vcpu_run() gets the "cache important vmcs fields" part - a new vmx_complete_atomic_exit() gets the parts that must be done atomically - a new vmx_recover_nmi_blocking() does what its name says - vmx_complete_interrupts() retains the event injection recovery code This helps in reducing the work done in atomic context.

Instead of blindly attempting to inject an event before each guest entry, check for a possible event first in vcpu->requests. Sites that can trigger event injection are modified to set KVM_REQ_EVENT: - interrupt, nmi window opening - ppr updates - i8259 output changes - local apic irr changes - rflags updates - gif flag set - event set on exit This improves non-injecting entry performance, and sets the stage for non-atomic injection.

Commit "KVM: MMU: Make tdp_enabled a mmu-context parameter" made real-mode set ->direct_map, and changed the code that merges in the memory type depend on direct_map instead of tdp_enabled. However, in this case what really matters is tdp, not direct_map, since tdp changes the pte format regardless of whether the mapping is direct or not. As a result, real-mode shadow mappings got corrupted with ept memory types. The result was a huge slowdown, likely due to the cache being disabled. Change it back as the simplest fix for the regression (real fix is to move all that to vmx code, and not use tdp_enabled as a synonym for ept). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch fixes a bug in KVM where it _always_ reports the support of the SVM feature to userspace. But KVM only supports SVM on AMD hardware and only when it is enabled in the kernel module.

With Nested Paging emulation the NX state between the two MMU contexts may differ.

Currently the KVM softmmu implementation can not shadow a 32 bit legacy or PAE page table with a long mode page table. This is a required feature for nested paging emulation because the nested page table must alway be in host format. So this patch implements the missing pieces to allow long mode page tables for page table types. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch factors out the direct-mapping paths of the mmu_alloc_roots function into a seperate function. This makes it a lot easier to avoid all the unnecessary checks done in the shadow path which may break when running direct. In fact, this patch already fixes a problem when running PAE guests on a PAE shadow page table. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This function need to be able to load the pdptrs from any mmu context currently in use. So change this function to take an kvm_mmu parameter to fit these needs. As a side effect this patch also moves the cached pdptrs from vcpu_arch into the kvm_mmu struct. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
