This field was needed to differentiate memory slots created by the new API, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, from those by the old equivalent, KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION, whose support was dropped long before: commit b74a07be KVM: Remove kernel-allocated memory regions Although we also have private memory slots to which KVM allocates memory with vm_mmap(), !user_alloc slots in other words, the slot id should be enough for differentiating them. Note: corresponding function parameters will be removed later. Reviewed-by:

There are two ways to express an interruption subclass: - As a bitmask, as used in cr6. - As a number, as used in the I/O interruption word. Unfortunately, we have treated the I/O interruption word as if it contained the bitmask as well, which went unnoticed so far as - (not-yet-released) qemu made the same mistake, and - Linux guest kernels don't check the isc value in the I/O interruption word for subchannel interrupts. Make sure that we treat the I/O interruption word correctly. Reviewed-by:

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later read can fault on that spte. Actually, we can make the large spte readonly instead of making them not present, the page fault caused by read access can be avoided The idea is from Avi: | As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea, | since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces | jitter. This removes the need for the return value. Reviewed-by:

When calculating hw_cr0 teh current code masks bits that should be always on and re-adds them back immediately after. Cleanup the code by masking only those bits that should be dropped from hw_cr0. This allow us to get rid of some defines. Signed-off-by:

SMEP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware. However KVM always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging mode with TDP. To emulate this behavior, SMEP needs to be manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode. We met an issue that, SMP Linux guest with recent kernel (enable SMEP support, for example, 3.5.3) would crash with triple fault if setting unrestricted_guest=0. This is because KVM uses an identity mapping page table to emulate the non-paging mode, where the page table is set with USER flag. If SMEP is still enabled in this case, guest will meet unhandlable page fault and then crash. Reviewed-by:

As Xiao pointed out, there are a few problems with it: - kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() write protects the memory slot only for GET_DIRTY_LOG when modifying the flags. - FNAME(sync_page) uses the old spte value to set a new one without checking KVM_MEM_READONLY flag. Since we flush all shadow pages when creating a new slot, the simplest fix is to disallow such problematic flag changes: this is safe because no one is doing such things. Reviewed-by:

KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify what kind of change is being requested by checking the arguments. The current code does this checking at various points in code and each condition being used there is not easy to understand at first glance. This patch consolidates these checks and introduces an enum to name the possible changes to clean up the code. Although this does not introduce any functional changes, there is one change which optimizes the code a bit: if we have nothing to change, the new code returns 0 immediately. Note that the return value for this case cannot be changed since QEMU relies on it: we noticed this when we changed it to -EINVAL and got a section mismatch error at the final stage of live migration.

Instructions with long displacement have a signed displacement. Currently the sign bit is interpreted as 2^20: Lets fix it by doing the sign extension from 20bit to 32bit and then use it as a signed variable in the addition (see kvm_s390_get_base_disp_rsy). Furthermore, there are lots of "int" in that code. This is problematic, because shifting on a signed integer is undefined/implementation defined if the bit value happens to be negative. Fortunately the promotion rules will make the right hand side unsigned anyway, so there is no real problem right now. Let's convert them anyway to unsigned where appropriate to avoid problems if the code is changed or copy/pasted later on. Signed-off-by:

virtio_ccw_setup_vq() failed to unwind correctly on errors. In particular, it failed to delete the virtqueue on errors, leading to list corruption when virtio_ccw_del_vqs() iterated over a virtqueue that had not been added to the vcdev's list. Fix this with redoing the error unwinding in virtio_ccw_setup_vq(), using a single path for all errors. Signed-off-by:

On store status we need to copy the current state of registers into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions: The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS, those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load. If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before saving them. This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw, since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the save area.

yield_to returns -ESRCH, When source and target of yield_to run queue length is one. When we see three successive failures of yield_to we assume we are in potential undercommit case and abort from PLE handler. The assumption is backed by low probability of wrong decision for even worst case scenarios such as average runqueue length between 1 and 2. More detail on rationale behind using three tries: if p is the probability of finding rq length one on a particular cpu, and if we do n tries, then probability of exiting ple handler is: p^(n+1) [ because we would have come across one source with rq length 1 and n target cpu rqs with length 1 ] so num tries: probability of aborting ple handler (1.5x overcommit) 1 1/4 2 1/8 3 1/16 We can increase this probability with more tries, but the problem is the overhead. Also, If we have tried three times that means we would have iterated over 3 good eligible vcpus along with many non-eligible candidates. In worst case if we iterate all the vcpus, we reduce 1x performance and overcommit performance get hit. note that we do not update last boosted vcpu in failure cases. Thank Avi for raising question on aborting after first fail from yield_to. Reviewed-by:

In case of undercomitted scenarios, especially in large guests yield_to overhead is significantly high. when run queue length of source and target is one, take an opportunity to bail out and return -ESRCH. This return condition can be further exploited to quickly come out of PLE handler. (History: Raghavendra initially worked on break out of kvm ple handler upon seeing source runqueue length = 1, but it had to export rq length). Peter came up with the elegant idea of return -ESRCH in scheduler core. Signed-off-by:

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path: - for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest. - A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also considered in above update action, since hardware will decide when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v. Reviewed-by:

basically to benefit from apicv, we need to enable virtualized x2apic mode. Currently, we only enable it when guest is really using x2apic. Also, clear MSR bitmap for corresponding x2apic MSRs when guest enabled x2apic: 0x800 - 0x8ff: no read intercept for apicv register virtualization, except APIC ID and TMCCT which need software's assistance to get right value.

Memory slot flags can be altered without changing other parameters of the slot. The read-only attribute is the only one the IOMMU cares about, so generate an un-map, re-map when this occurs. This also avoid unnecessarily re-mapping the slot when no IOMMU visible changes are made. Reviewed-by:

If emulate_invalid_guest_state=false vmx->emulation_required is never actually used, but it ends up to be always set to true since handle_invalid_guest_state(), the only place it is reset back to false, is never called. This, besides been not very clean, makes vmexit and vmentry path to check emulate_invalid_guest_state needlessly. The patch fixes that by keeping emulation_required coherent with emulate_invalid_guest_state setting. Signed-off-by:
