The initialization function in mmu.c can always use walk_mmu, which is known to be vcpu->arch.mmu. Only init_kvm_nested_mmu is used to initialize vcpu->arch.nested_mmu. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Marcelo Tosatti authored
For the hrtimer which emulates the tscdeadline timer in the guest, add an option to advance expiration, and busy spin on VM-entry waiting for the actual expiration time to elapse. This allows achieving low latencies in cyclictest (or any scenario which requires strict timing regarding timer expiration). Reduces average cyclictest latency from 12us to 8us on Core i5 desktop. Note: this option requires tuning to find the appropriate value for a particular hardware/guest combination. One method is to measure the average delay between apic_timer_fn and VM-entry. Another method is to start with 1000ns, and increase the value in say 500ns increments until avg cyclictest numbers stop decreasing.

In most cases calling hwapic_isr_update(), we always check if kvm_apic_vid_enabled() == 1, but actually, kvm_apic_vid_enabled() -> kvm_x86_ops->vm_has_apicv() -> vmx_vm_has_apicv() or '0' in svm case -> return enable_apicv && irqchip_in_kernel(kvm) So its a little cost to recall vmx_vm_has_apicv() inside hwapic_isr_update(), here just NULL out hwapic_isr_update() in case of !enable_apicv inside hardware_setup() then make all related stuffs follow this. Note we don't check this under that condition of irqchip_in_kernel() since we should make sure definitely any caller don't work without in-kernel irqchip.

When generating #PF VM-exit, check equality: (PFEC & PFEC_MASK) == PFEC_MATCH If there is equality, the 14 bit of exception bitmap is used to take decision about generating #PF VM-exit.

This patch improve checks required by Intel Software Developer Manual. - SMM MSRs are not allowed. - microcode MSRs are not allowed. - check x2apic MSRs only when LAPIC is in x2apic mode. - MSR switch areas must be aligned to 16 bytes. - address of first and last byte in MSR switch areas should not set any bits beyond the processor's physical-address width. Also it adds warning messages on failures during MSR switch. These messages are useful for people who debug their VMMs in nVMX.

Several hypervisors need MSR auto load/restore feature. We read MSRs from VM-entry MSR load area which specified by L1, and load them via kvm_set_msr in the nested entry. When nested exit occurs, we get MSRs via kvm_get_msr, writing them to L1`s MSR store area. After this, we read MSRs from VM-exit MSR load area, and load them via kvm_set_msr.

Commit a074335a ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const, but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context. On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace() to fetch the value.

This reverts commit 24a0aa21. It's causing severe userspace breakage. Namely, all the utilities from wireless-utils which are relying on CONFIG_WEXT (which means tools like 'iwconfig', 'iwlist', etc) are not working anymore. There is a 'iw' utility in newer wireless-tools, which is supposed to be a replacement for all the "deprecated" binaries, but it's far away from being massively adopted. Please see [1] for example of the userspace breakage this is causing. In addition to that, Larry Finger reports [2] that this patch is also causing ipw2200 driver being impossible to build. To me this clearly shows that CONFIG_WEXT is far, far away from being "deprecated enough" to be removed.

Commit ac61d195 (scsi: set correct completion code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd()) introduced a bug. It changed the stored return value from a queuecommand call, but it didn't take into account that the return value was used again later on. This patch fixes the bug by changing the later usage. There is a big comment in the middle of scsi_send_eh_cmnd() which does a good job of explaining how the routine works. But it mentions a "rtn = FAILURE" value that doesn't exist in the code. This patch adjusts the code to match the comment (I assume the comment is right and the code is wrong). This fixes Bugzilla #88341.

Currently we enable Exynos devices in the multi v7 defconfig, however, when testing on my ODROID-U3, I noticed that USB was not working. Enabling this option causes USB to work, which enables networking support as well since the ODROID-U3 has networking on the USB bus.

Unfortunately, while commit 4a928436 ("audit: correctly record file names with different path name types") fixed a problem where we were not recording filenames, it created a new problem by attempting to use these file names after they had been freed. This patch resolves the issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem frees after it is done with the string. At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts, or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer that for later. On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted by the string copying. Reported-by: Toralf Foerster <toralf.foerster@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>
