Userspace may specify memory slots that are backed by mmio pages rather than normal RAM. In some cases it is not enough to identify these mmio pages by pfn_valid(). This patch adds checking the PageReserved as well. Signed-off-by: Ben-Ami Yassour <benami@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes. This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should, and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a nasty bug. Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it preset. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases: 1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set. This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if guest executes hlt at this point). 2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single pt->pending count. Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.

Based on a patch from: Ben-Ami Yassour <benami@il.ibm.com> which was based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com> Notify IRQ acking on PIC/APIC emulation. The previous patch missed two things: - Edge triggered interrupts on IOAPIC - PIC reset with IRR/ISR set should be equivalent to ack (LAPIC probably needs something similar).

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be modified in a single exit.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%.

Netware writes to DEBUGCTL and reads from the DEBUGCTL and LAST*IP MSRs without further checks and is really confused to receive a #GP during that. To make it happy we should just make them stubs, which is exactly what SVM already does. Writes to DEBUGCTL that are vendor-specific are resembled to behave as if the virtual CPU does not know them.

The current kvmtrace code uses get_cycles() while the interpretation would be easier using using nanoseconds. ktime_get() should give at least the same accuracy as get_cycles on all architectures (even better on 32bit archs) but at a better unit (e.g. comparable between hosts with different frequencies.

As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be raised in real mode. This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its debug.com work properly. Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done once base patches for QEMU have been accepted).

The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however: if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume the first exception was not delivered. Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it (or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Instead of processing nmi injection failure in the vm entry path, move it to the vm exit path (vm_complete_interrupts()). This separates nmi injection from nmi post-processing, and moves the nmi state from the VT state into vcpu state (new variable nmi_injected specifying an injection in progress).

As suggested by Avi, introduce accessors to read/write guest registers.

We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there is a PNP RTC device. I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake. All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices. Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC via PNP. On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe to find the RTC. We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything. If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe. This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve these issues: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Acked-by: Rafael J.

Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188 It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses. But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Acked-by: Rafael J.
