This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c. Common ioctls for all architectures are: KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT, KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day. x86 specific ioctls are: KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

Since the mmu uses different shadow pages for dirty large pages and clean large pages, this allows the mmu to drop ptes that are now invalid. Signed-off-by: -

By forcing clean huge pages to be read-only, we have separate roles for the shadow of a clean large page and the shadow of a dirty large page. This is necessary because different ptes will be instantiated for the two cases, even for read faults. Signed-off-by: -

We must set the bit before the shift, otherwise the wrong bit gets set. Signed-off-by: -
Avi Kivity authored
This is more consistent with the accessed bit management, and makes the dirty bit available earlier for other purposes. Signed-off-by: -

This time, the biggest change is gpa_to_hpa. The translation of GPA to HPA does not depend on the VCPU state unlike GVA to GPA so there's no need to pass in the kvm_vcpu. Signed-off-by:

Some of the MMU functions take a struct kvm_vcpu even though they affect all VCPUs. This patch cleans up some of them to instead take a struct kvm. This makes things a bit more clear. The main thing that was confusing me was whether certain functions need to be called on all VCPUs. Signed-off-by:

Instead of having the kernel allocate memory to the guest, let userspace allocate it and pass the address to the kernel. This is required for s390 support, but also enables features like memory sharing and using hugetlbfs backed memory. Signed-off-by:

Move kvm_create_lapic() into kvm_vcpu_init(), rather than having svm and vmx do it. And make it return the error rather than a fairly random -ENOMEM. This also solves the problem that neither svm.c nor vmx.c actually handles the error path properly. Signed-off-by:

Rusty Russell authored
Instead of the asymetry of kvm_free_apic, implement kvm_free_lapic(). And guess what? I found a minor bug: we don't need to hrtimer_cancel() from kvm_main.c, because we do that in kvm_free_apic(). Also: 1) kvm_vcpu_uninit should be the reverse order from kvm_vcpu_init. 2) Don't set apic->regs_page to zero before freeing apic. Signed-off-by:

When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't be able to use page->private for rmap, since page->rmap is reserved for the filesystem. So we move the rmap base pointers to the memory slot. A side effect of this is that we need to store the gfn of each gpte in the shadow pages, since the memory slot is addressed by gfn, instead of hfn like struct page. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the fault injected when the guest attempts to set reserved bits in cr3. X86 hardware doesn't generate a fault when setting reserved bits. The result of this patch is that vmware-server, running within a kvm guest, boots and runs memtest from an iso. Signed-off-by:

When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and checking it later to see if the guest actually used it. Signed-off-by: -
Avi Kivity authored
There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm: - host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits - guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects the fault back into the guest to handle The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead. We can eliminate some of it on vmx using the following evil trick: - when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present - if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte - tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest, bypassing kvm entirely. Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a way to discriminate among page faults based on error code. It is also a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it. Signed-off-by: -

KVM avoids reloading the efer msr when the difference between the guest and host values consist of the long mode bits (which are switched by hardware) and the NX bit (which is emulated by the KVM MMU). This patch also allows KVM to ignore SCE (syscall enable) when the guest is running in 32-bit mode. This is because the syscall instruction is not available in 32-bit mode on Intel processors, so the SCE bit is effectively meaningless. Signed-off-by: -

This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better support live migration and SMP. It eliminates the hypercall page by trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right one lazily. A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to userspace. There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used. There is no code in tree that uses userspace hypercalls. [avi: fix #ud injection on vmx] Signed-off-by:

Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are enabled. This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver. Thus allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

We want IPV6HEADER matching for the non-advanced default netfilter configuration, since it's part of the standard netfilter setup of at least some distributions (eg Fedora). Otherwise NETFILTER_ADVANCED loses much of its point, since even non-advanced users would have to enable all the advanced options just to get a working IPv6 netfilter setup. Signed-off-by:
