The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table. Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE. This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static. Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

This emulates the x86 hardware task switch mechanism in software, as it is unsupported by either vmx or svm. It allows operating systems which use it, like freedos, to run as kvm guests. Signed-off-by:

When mmu_set_spte() checks if a page related to spte should be release as dirty or clean, it check if the shadow pte was writeble, but in case rmap_write_protect() is called called it is possible for shadow ptes that were writeble to become readonly and therefor mmu_set_spte will release the pages as clean. This patch fix this issue by marking the page as dirty inside rmap_write_protect(). Signed-off-by:

If we populate a shadow pte due to a fault (and not speculatively due to a pte write) then we can set the accessed bit on it, as we know it will be set immediately on the next guest instruction. This saves a read-modify-write operation. Signed-off-by: -

include/linux/kvm.h defines struct kvm_dirty_log to [...] union { void __user *dirty_bitmap; /* one bit per page */ __u64 padding; }; __user requires compiler.h to compile. Currently, this works on x86 only coincidentally due to other include files. This patch makes kvm.h compile in all cases. Signed-off-by:Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch writes 0 (actually, what really matters is that the LSB is cleared) to the system time msr before shutting down the machine for kexec. Without it, we can have a random memory location being written when the guest comes back It overrides the functions shutdown, used in the path of kernel_kexec() (sys.c) and crash_shutdown, used in the path of crash_kexec() (kexec.c) Signed-off-by:

it will allow external users to call it. It is mainly useful for routines that will override its machine_ops field for its own special purposes, but want to call the normal shutdown routine after they're done Signed-off-by:

Hypercall based pte updates are faster than faults, and also allow use of the lazy MMU mode to batch operations. Don't report the feature if two dimensional paging is enabled.

Most Intel hosts have a stable tsc, and playing with the offset only reduces accuracy. By limiting tsc offset adjustment only to forward updates, we effectively disable tsc offset adjustment on these hosts. Signed-off-by: -

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace. Signed-off-by:

Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed. If the largepage contains write-protected pages, a large pte is not used. Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted filesystem, without NPT/EPT. Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT. Signed-off-by:

Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup. This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup if the instruction can't be emulated. Signed-off-by:
