Merge tag 'kvm-3.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

2012-07-24T19:01:20+00:00

Pull KVM updates from Avi Kivity:
 "Highlights include
  - full big real mode emulation on pre-Westmere Intel hosts (can be
    disabled with emulate_invalid_guest_state=0)
  - relatively small ppc and s390 updates
  - PCID/INVPCID support in guests
  - EOI avoidance; 3.6 guests should perform better on 3.6 hosts on
    interrupt intensive workloads)
  - Lockless write faults during live migration
  - EPT accessed/dirty bits support for new Intel processors"

Fix up conflicts in:
 - Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt:

   Stupid subchapter numbering, added next to each other.

 - arch/powerpc/kvm/booke_interrupts.S:

   PPC asm changes clashing with the KVM fixes

 - arch/s390/include/asm/sigp.h, arch/s390/kvm/sigp.c:

   Duplicated commits through the kvm tree and the s390 tree, with
   subsequent edits in the KVM tree.

KVM: Guard mmu_notifier specific code with CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER

2012-07-03T17:55:31+00:00

In order to avoid compilation failure when KVM is not compiled in,
guard the mmu_notifier specific sections with both CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER
and KVM_ARCH_WANT_MMU_NOTIFIER, like it is being done in the rest of
the KVM code.

KVM: Pass kvm_irqfd to functions

2012-07-03T00:10:30+00:00

Prune this down to just the struct kvm_irqfd so we can avoid
changing function definition for every flag or field we use.

KVM: use KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING to protect the routing related code

2012-06-18T13:06:35+00:00

The KVM code sometimes uses CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP to protect
code that is related to IRQ routing, which not all in-kernel
irqchips may support.

Use KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING instead.

KVM: Cleanup the kvm_print functions and introduce pr_XX wrappers

2012-06-06T12:24:00+00:00

Introduces a couple of print functions, which are essentially wrappers
around standard printk functions, with a KVM: prefix.

Functions introduced or modified are:
 - kvm_err(fmt, ...)
 - kvm_info(fmt, ...)
 - kvm_debug(fmt, ...)
 - kvm_pr_unimpl(fmt, ...)
 - pr_unimpl(vcpu, fmt, ...) -> vcpu_unimpl(vcpu, fmt, ...)

KVM: Avoid wasting pages for small lpage_info arrays

2012-06-05T13:29:49+00:00

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().

KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking

2012-05-16T19:08:28+00:00

Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable.  We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.

Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.

We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

KVM: s390: Implement the directed yield (diag 9c) hypervisor call for KVM

2012-05-01T00:38:31+00:00

This patch implements the directed yield hypercall found on other
System z hypervisors. It delegates execution time to the virtual cpu
specified in the instruction's parameter.

Useful to avoid long spinlock waits in the guest.

KVM: Introduce direct MSI message injection for in-kernel irqchips

2012-04-24T12:59:47+00:00

Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by
defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only
unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space,
IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage
carefully.

By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited
resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.

KVM: Fix page-crossing MMIO

2012-04-19T23:35:07+00:00

MMIO that are split across a page boundary are currently broken - the
code does not expect to be aborted by the exit to userspace for the
first MMIO fragment.

This patch fixes the problem by generalizing the current code for handling
16-byte MMIOs to handle a number of "fragments", and changes the MMIO
code to create those fragments.
