Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during the switch to guest mode and back. Contains fixes from Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

This patch converts the vcpus array in "struct kvm" to a pointer array, and changes the "vcpu_create" and "vcpu_setup" hooks into one "vcpu_create" call which does the allocation and initialization of the vcpu (calling back into the kvm_vcpu_init core helper).

load_pdptrs can be handed an invalid cr3, and it should not oops. This can happen because we injected #gp in set_cr3() after we set vcpu->cr3 to the invalid value, or from kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs(), or memory configuration changes after the guest did set_cr3(). We should also copy the pdpte array once, before checking and assigning, otherwise an SMP guest can potentially alter the values between the check and the set. Finally one nitpick: ret = 1 should be done as late as possible: this allows GCC to check for unset "ret" should the function change in future.

This patch mainly imports some constants and rename two exist constants of vmcs according to IA32 SDM. It also adds two constants to indicate Lock bit and Enable bit in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL, and replace the hardcode _5_ with these two bits.

According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from cacheable memory for the x86 architecture. Hence, smp_rmb() may be a simple barrier. Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in Linux (eg. spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable memory are visible in program order too. Special string stores are safe -- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete in order WRT surrounding stores. Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them appear in-order WRT other stores. Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple barrier. http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down too). However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier implementation for x86 architecture. smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently required.

movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores, so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64 bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code). [ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_ movnt* everywhere too? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
