Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active. This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its old value and this is what the guest sees. This bug did not have any effect until now because: - with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction - without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a mov cr3 instruction - without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3 is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3 instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest. The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3 reload. This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix. Observed in the Window XP 32-bit installer while bringing up secondary vcpus. Signed-off-by:Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

If last_boosted_vcpu == 0, then we fall through all test cases and may end up with all VCPUs pouncing on vcpu 0. With a large enough guest, this can result in enormous runqueue lock contention, which can prevent vcpu0 from running, leading to a livelock. Changing < to <= makes sure we properly handle that case.

If sigp sense doesn't have any status bits to report, it should set cc 0 and leave the register as-is. Since we know about the external call pending bit, we should report it if it is set as well. Acked-by:

If an invalid parameter is passed or the addressed cpu is in an incorrect state sigp set prefix will store a status. This status must only have bits set as defined by the architecture. The current kvm implementation missed to clear bits and also did not set the intended status bit ("and" instead of "or" operation). Signed-off-by: -

Only if the sensed cpu is not running a status is stored, which is reflected by condition code 1. If the cpu is running, condition code 0 should be returned. Just the opposite of what the code is doing. Acked-by:

On UP i386, when APIC is disabled # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set # CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC is not set code looking at apicdrivers never has any effect but it still gets compiled in. In particular, this causes build failures with kvm, but it generally bloats the kernel unnecessarily. Fix by defining both __apicdrivers and __apicdrivers_end to be NULL when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is unset: I verified that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by the compiler. Warning: a .config with apic disabled doesn't seem to boot for me (even without this patch). Still verifying why, meanwhile this patch is compile-tested only. Signed-off-by:

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory. This reduces the number of exits an interrupt causes as much as by half. The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using a test and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR. There's a new MSR to set the address of said register in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed: - Guest EOI is not required - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit For testing results see description of previous patch 'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. Guest tests it using a single est and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.

We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by 1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR 2. on set, caching the injected vector number 3. on clear, invalidating the cache The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI which needs to quickly validate the vector. But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch, and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr will always return immediately without scanning ISR. Signed-off-by:

lpage_info is created for each large level even when the memory slot is not for RAM. This means that when we add one slot for a PCI device, we end up allocating at least KVM_NR_PAGE_SIZES - 1 pages by vmalloc(). To make things worse, there is an increasing number of devices which would result in more pages being wasted this way. This patch mitigates this problem by using kvm_kvzalloc(). Signed-off-by:
