In order to get rid of the action_flags and to properly migrate pending SIGP STOP irqs triggered e.g. by SIGP STOP AND STORE STATUS, we need to remember whether to store the status when stopping. For this reason, a new parameter (flags) for the SIGP STOP irq is introduced. These flags further define details of the requested STOP and can be easily migrated.

Patch 0759d068 ("KVM: s390: cleanup handle_wait by reusing kvm_vcpu_block") changed the way pending guest clock comparator interrupts are detected. It was assumed that as soon as the hrtimer wakes up, the condition for the guest ckc is satisfied. This is however only true as long as adjclock() doesn't speed up the monotonic clock. Reason is that the hrtimer is based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the guest clock comparator detection is based on the raw TOD clock. If CLOCK_MONOTONIC runs faster than the TOD clock, the hrtimer wakes the target VCPU up too early and the target VCPU will not detect any pending interrupts, therefore going back to sleep. It will never be woken up again because the hrtimer has finished. The VCPU is stuck. As a quick fix, we have to forward the hrtimer until the guest clock comparator is really due, to guarantee properly timed wake ups. As the hrtimer callback might be triggered on another cpu, we have to make sure that the timer is really stopped and not currently executing the callback on another cpu. This can happen if the vcpu thread is scheduled onto another physical cpu, but the timer base is not migrated. So lets use hrtimer_cancel instead of try_to_cancel. A proper fix might be to introduce a RAW based hrtimer.

The hrtimer that handles the wait with enabled timer interrupts should not be disturbed by changes of the host time. This patch changes our hrtimer to be based on a monotonic clock.

We sometimes get an underflow for the sleep duration, which most likely won't result in the short sleep time we wanted. So let's check for sleep duration underflows and directly continue to run the guest if we get one.

With commit c6c956b8 ("KVM: s390/mm: support gmap page tables with less than 5 levels") we are able to define a limit for the guest memory size. As we round up the guest size in respect to the levels of page tables we get to guest limits of: 2048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB and 16384 PB. We currently limit the guest size to 16 TB, which means we end up creating a page table structure supporting guest sizes up to 8192 TB. This patch introduces an interface that allows userspace to tune this limit. This may bring performance improvements for small guests.

As we will allow in a later patch to recreate gmaps with new limits, we need to make sure that vcpus get their reference for that gmap after they increased the online_vcpu counter, so there is no possible race. While we are doing this, we also can simplify the vcpu_init function, by moving ucontrol specifics to an own function. That way we also start now setting the kvm_valid_regs for the ucontrol path.

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so just get rid of the unchecked return value.

When access to descriptor in LDT/GDT wraparound outside long-mode, the address of the descriptor should be truncated to 32-bit. Citing Intel SDM 2.1.1.1 "Global and Local Descriptor Tables in IA-32e Mode": "GDTR and LDTR registers are expanded to 64-bits wide in both IA-32e sub-modes (64-bit mode and compatibility mode)." So in other cases, we need to truncate. Creating new function to return a pointer to descriptor table to avoid too much code duplication.

According to Intel SDM: "If the ESP register is used as a base register for addressing a destination operand in memory, the POP instruction computes the effective address of the operand after it increments the ESP register."

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.

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.
