Merge branch 'kvm-updates/3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

2012-03-28T21:35:31+00:00

Pull kvm updates from Avi Kivity:
 "Changes include timekeeping improvements, support for assigning host
  PCI devices that share interrupt lines, s390 user-controlled guests, a
  large ppc update, and random fixes."

This is with the sign-off's fixed, hopefully next merge window we won't
have rebased commits.

KVM: Convert intx_mask_lock to spin lock

2012-03-20T10:41:24+00:00

As kvm_notify_acked_irq calls kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq under
rcu_read_lock, we cannot use a mutex in the latter function. Switch to a
spin lock to address this.

KVM: Allow host IRQ sharing for assigned PCI 2.3 devices

2012-03-08T12:11:36+00:00

PCI 2.3 allows to generically disable IRQ sources at device level. This
enables us to share legacy IRQs of such devices with other host devices
when passing them to a guest.

The new IRQ sharing feature introduced here is optional, user space has
to request it explicitly. Moreover, user space can inform us about its
view of PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE so that we can avoid unmasking the
interrupt and signaling it if the guest masked it via the virtualized
PCI config space.

KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settings

2012-03-08T12:10:30+00:00

If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then
irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading
to potential NULL pointer dereferences.

Fix by:
- ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called
- ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP

This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without
kvm->lock held.

Based on earlier patch by Michael Ellerman.

KVM: Introduce kvm_memory_slot::arch and move lpage_info into it

2012-03-08T12:10:22+00:00

Some members of kvm_memory_slot are not used by every architecture.

This patch is the first step to make this difference clear by
introducing kvm_memory_slot::arch;  lpage_info is moved into it.

KVM: Introduce gfn_to_index() which returns the index for a given level

2012-03-08T12:10:19+00:00

This patch cleans up the code and removes the "(void)level;" warning
suppressor.

Note that we can also use this for PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL to treat every
level uniformly later.

KVM: Move gfn_to_memslot() to kvm_host.h

2012-03-05T12:57:22+00:00

This moves __gfn_to_memslot() and search_memslots() from kvm_main.c to
kvm_host.h to reduce the code duplication caused by the need for
non-modular code in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c to call
gfn_to_memslot() in real mode.

Rather than putting gfn_to_memslot() itself in a header, which would
lead to increased code size, this puts __gfn_to_memslot() in a header.
Then, the non-modular uses of gfn_to_memslot() are changed to call
__gfn_to_memslot() instead.  This way there is only one place in the
source code that needs to be changed should the gfn_to_memslot()
implementation need to be modified.

On powerpc, the Book3S HV style of KVM has code that is called from
real mode which needs to call gfn_to_memslot() and thus needs this.
(Module code is allocated in the vmalloc region, which can't be
accessed in real mode.)

With this, we can remove builtin_gfn_to_memslot() from book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c.

KVM: Add barriers to allow mmu_notifier_retry to be used locklessly

2012-03-05T12:52:38+00:00

This adds an smp_wmb in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and an
smp_rmb in mmu_notifier_retry() so that mmu_notifier_retry() will give
the correct answer when called without kvm->mmu_lock being held.
PowerPC Book3S HV KVM wants to use a bitlock per guest page rather than
a single global spinlock in order to improve the scalability of updates
to the guest MMU hashed page table, and so needs this.

KVM: s390: ucontrol: export SIE control block to user

2012-03-05T12:52:19+00:00

This patch exports the s390 SIE hardware control block to userspace
via the mapping of the vcpu file descriptor. In order to do so,
a new arch callback named kvm_arch_vcpu_fault  is introduced for all
architectures. It allows to map architecture specific pages.

KVM: s390: add parameter for KVM_CREATE_VM

2012-03-05T12:52:18+00:00

This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel
virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that
allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created
virtual machine.
The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures.
The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL.
This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled
virtual machine on s390 architectures.
