This patch provides a way to VMCLEAR VMCSs related to guests on all cpus before executing the VMXOFF when doing kdump. This is used to ensure the VMCSs in the vmcore updated and non-corrupted.

There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte: 1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level() and acquiring mmu-lock. 2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when guest uses the target gfn as its page table. In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case, it works not good: - for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and do expensive instruction emulation. - for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation. Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>

We can deliver certain interrupts, notably MSI, from atomic context. Use kvm_set_irq_inatomic, to implement an irq handler for msi. This reduces the pressure on scheduler in case where host and guest irq share a host cpu. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>

CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control. However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST + vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either. The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example: The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

In order to track who initiated the call (host or guest) to modify an msr value I have changed function call parameters along the call path. The specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index, data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as individual parameters. The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is useful for other tasks.

Prior to memory slot sorting this loop compared all of the user memory slots for overlap with new entries. With memory slot sorting, we're just checking some number of entries in the array that may or may not be user slots. Instead, walk all the slots with kvm_for_each_memslot, which has the added benefit of terminating early when we hit the first empty slot, and skip comparison to private slots.

vmcs->cpu indicates whether it exists on the target cpu, -1 means the vmcs does not exist on any vcpu If vcpu load vmcs with vmcs.cpu = -1, it can be directly added to cpu's percpu list. The list can be corrupted if the cpu prefetch the vmcs's list before reading vmcs->cpu. Meanwhile, we should remove vmcs from the list before making vmcs->vcpu == -1 be visible Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates: ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ] Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC. system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple per VM: the "master clock". Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity. Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. One of the reasons for that is that the time between 1. ktime_get_ts(×pec); 2. rdtscll(tsc); Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above. The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...). If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details. Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs and guest TSCs. Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read clock from userspace. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

We want to expose the pvclock shared memory areas, which the hypervisor periodically updates, to userspace. For a linear mapping from userspace, it is necessary that entire page sized regions are used for array of pvclock structures. There is no such guarantee with per cpu areas, therefore move to memblock_alloc based allocation. Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This fixes an error in the inline asm in try_lock_hpte() where we were erroneously using a register number as an immediate operand. The bug only affects an error path, and in fact the code will still work as long as the compiler chooses some register other than r0 for the "bits" variable. Nevertheless it should still be fixed.
