When one vcpu wants to kick another, it can issue a special IPI instruction called msgsnd. This patch emulates this instruction, its clearing counterpart and the infrastructure required to actually trigger that interrupt inside a guest vcpu. With this patch, SMP guests on e500mc work.

Add processor support for e500mc, using hardware virtualization support (GS-mode). Current issues include: - No support for external proxy (coreint) interrupt mode in the guest.

Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06 provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for guest state. The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace. Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly to book3s. Current issues include: - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler. - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction in a page that lacks read permission. Existing e500/4xx support has the same problem. Includes work by Ashish Kalra <Ashish.Kalra@freescale.com>, Varun Sethi <Varun.Sethi@freescale.com>, and Liu Yu <yu.liu@freescale.com>.

DO_KVM will need to identify the particular exception type. There is an existing set of arbitrary numbers that Linux passes, but it's an undocumented mess that sort of corresponds to server/classic exception vectors but not really.

The PID handling is e500v1/v2-specific, and is moved to e500.c. The MMU sregs code and kvmppc_core_vcpu_translate will be shared with e500mc, and is moved from e500.c to e500_tlb.c.

Move vcpu to the beginning of vcpu_e500 to give it appropriate prominence, especially if more fields end up getting added to the end of vcpu_e500 (and vcpu ends up in the middle).

Keeping two separate headers for e500-specific things was a pain, and wasn't even organized along any logical boundary. There was TLB stuff in <asm/kvm_e500.h> despite the existence of arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_tlb.h, and nothing in <asm/kvm_e500.h> needed to be referenced from outside arch/powerpc/kvm.

Now that we do neither double buffering nor heuristic selection of the write protection method these are not needed anymore. Note: some drivers have their own implementation of set_bit_le() and making it generic needs a bit of work; so we use test_and_set_bit_le() and will later replace it with generic set_bit_le().

We have seen some problems of the current implementation of get_dirty_log() which uses synchronize_srcu_expedited() for updating dirty bitmaps; e.g. it is noticeable that this sometimes gives us ms order of latency when we use VGA displays. Furthermore the recent discussion on the following thread "srcu: Implement call_srcu()" http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211 also motivated us to implement get_dirty_log() without SRCU. This patch achieves this goal without sacrificing the performance of both VGA and live migration: in practice the new code is much faster than the old one unless we have too many dirty pages. Implementation: The key part of the implementation is the use of xchg() operation for clearing dirty bits atomically. Since this allows us to update only BITS_PER_LONG pages at once, we need to iterate over the dirty bitmap until every dirty bit is cleared again for the next call. Although some people may worry about the problem of using the atomic memory instruction many times to the concurrently accessible bitmap, it is usually accessed with mmu_lock held and we rarely see concurrent accesses: so what we need to care about is the pure xchg() overheads. Another point to note is that we do not use for_each_set_bit() to check which ones in each BITS_PER_LONG pages are actually dirty. Instead we simply use __ffs() in a loop. This is much faster than repeatedly call find_next_bit(). Performance: The dirty-log-perf unit test showed nice improvements, some times faster than before, except for some extreme cases; for such cases the speed of getting dirty page information is much faster than we process it in the userspace. For real workloads, both VGA and live migration, we have observed pure improvements: when the guest was reading a file during live migration, we originally saw a few ms of latency, but with the new method the latency was less than 200us.

Dropped such mappings when we enabled dirty logging and we will never create new ones until we stop the logging. For this we introduce a new function which can be used to write protect a range of PT level pages: although we do not need to care about a range of pages at this point, the following patch will need this feature to optimize the write protection of many pages.

On PowerPC, we sometimes use a waitqueue per core, not per thread, so we can't always use the vcpu internal waitqueue. This code has been generalized by Christoffer Dall recently, but unfortunately broke compilation for PowerPC. At the time the helper function is defined, struct kvm_vcpu is not declared yet, so we can't dereference it. This patch moves all logic into the generic inline function, at which time we have all information necessary.

Christoffer Dall authored
The kvm_vcpu_kick function performs roughly the same funcitonality on most all architectures, so we shouldn't have separate copies. PowerPC keeps a pointer to interchanging waitqueues on the vcpu_arch structure and to accomodate this special need a __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VCPU_GET_WQ define and accompanying function kvm_arch_vcpu_wq have been defined. For all other architectures this is a generic inline that just returns &vcpu->wq; Acked-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <c.dall@virtualopensystems.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

kvm_io_bus devices are used for ioevent, pit, pic, ioapic, coalesced_mmio. Currently Qemu only emulates one PCI bus, it contains 32 slots, one slot contains 8 functions, maximum of supported PCI devices: 1 * 32 * 8 = 256. One virtio-blk takes one iobus device, one virtio-net(vhost=on) takes two iobus devices. The maximum of coalesced mmio zone is 100, each zone has an iobus devices. So 300 io_bus devices are not enough. Set an upper bounds for kvm_io_range to limit userspace. 1000 is a very large limit and not bloat the typical user.
