2013-02-11ARM: KVM: VGIC accept vcpu and dist base addresses from user spaceChristoffer Dall
User space defines the model to emulate to a guest and should therefore decide which addresses are used for both the virtual CPU interface directly mapped in the guest physical address space and for the emulated distributor interface, which is mapped in software by the in-kernel VGIC support.

2013-02-11KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctlChristoffer Dall
On ARM some bits are specific to the model being emulated for the guest and user space needs a way to tell the kernel about those bits. An example is mmio device base addresses, where KVM must know the base address for a given device to properly emulate mmio accesses within a certain address range or directly map a device with virtualiation extensions into the guest address space. We make this API ARM-specific as we haven't yet reached a consensus for a generic API for all KVM architectures that will allow us to do something like this.

As Xiao pointed out, there are a few problems with it: - kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() write protects the memory slot only for GET_DIRTY_LOG when modifying the flags. - FNAME(sync_page) uses the old spte value to set a new one without checking KVM_MEM_READONLY flag. Since we flush all shadow pages when creating a new slot, the simplest fix is to disallow such problematic flag changes: this is safe because no one is doing such things.

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Demux CCSIDR in the userspace APIChristoffer Dall
The Cache Size Selection Register (CSSELR) selects the current Cache Size ID Register (CCSIDR). You write which cache you are interested in to CSSELR, and read the information out of CCSIDR. Which cache numbers are valid is known by reading the Cache Level ID Register (CLIDR). To export this state to userspace, we add a KVM_REG_ARM_DEMUX numberspace (17), which uses 8 bits to represent which register is being demultiplexed (0 for CCSIDR), and the lower 8 bits to represent this demultiplexing (in our case, the CSSELR value, which is 4 bits).

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: User space API for getting/setting co-proc registersChristoffer Dall
The following three ioctls are implemented: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST - KVM_GET_ONE_REG - KVM_SET_ONE_REG Now we have a table for all the cp15 registers, we can drive a generic API. The register IDs carry the following encoding: ARM registers are mapped using the lower 32 bits. The upper 16 of that is the register group type, or coprocessor number: ARM 32-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4002 0000 000F <zero:1> <crn:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <opc2:3> ARM 64-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4003 0000 000F <zero:1> <zero:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <zero:3> For futureproofing, we need to tell QEMU about the CP15 registers the host lets the guest access. It will need this information to restore a current guest on a future CPU or perhaps a future KVM which allow some of these to be changed. We use a separate table for these, as they're only for the userspace API.

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspaceChristoffer Dall
All interrupt injection is now based on the VM ioctl KVM_IRQ_LINE. This works semantically well for the GIC as we in fact raise/lower a line on a machine component (the gic). The IOCTL uses the follwing struct. struct kvm_irq_level { union { __u32 irq; /* GSI */ __s32 status; /* not used for KVM_IRQ_LEVEL */ }; __u32 level; /* 0 or 1 */ }; ARM can signal an interrupt either at the CPU level, or at the in-kernel irqchip (GIC), and for in-kernel irqchip can tell the GIC to use PPIs designated for specific cpus. The irq field is interpreted like this:  bits: | 31 ... 24 | 23 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 | field: | irq_type | vcpu_index | irq_number | The irq_type field has the following values: - irq_type[0]: out-of-kernel GIC: irq_number 0 is IRQ, irq_number 1 is FIQ - irq_type[1]: in-kernel GIC: SPI, irq_number between 32 and 1019 (incl.) (the vcpu_index field is ignored) - irq_type[2]: in-kernel GIC: PPI, irq_number between 16 and 31 (incl.) The irq_number thus corresponds to the irq ID in as in the GICv2 specs. This is documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt.

2012-12-06KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPTPaul Mackerras
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented.

2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace to get/set per-vCPU areasPaul Mackerras
The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs). Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save and restore these registrations across a migration. This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the previous kernel). The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address, since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long, consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits and the length in the low 64 bits. This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally, leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: Get/set guest FP regs using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interfacePaul Mackerras
This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The floating-point state includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR). Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX on POWER7. Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common. On POWER7, the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31. PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: Get/set guest SPRs using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interfacePaul Mackerras
This enables userspace to get and set various SPRs (special-purpose registers) using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. With this, userspace can get and set all the SPRs that are part of the guest state, either through the KVM_[GS]ET_REGS ioctls, the KVM_[GS]ET_SREGS ioctls, or the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The SPRs that are added here are: - DABR: Data address breakpoint register - DSCR: Data stream control register - PURR: Processor utilization of resources register - SPURR: Scaled PURR - DAR: Data address register - DSISR: Data storage interrupt status register - AMR: Authority mask register - UAMOR: User authority mask override register - MMCR0, MMCR1, MMCRA: Performance monitor unit control registers - PMC1..PMC8: Performance monitor unit counter registers In order to reduce code duplication between PR and HV KVM code, this moves the kvm_vcpu_ioctl_[gs]et_one_reg functions into book3s.c and centralizes the copying between user and kernel space there. The registers that are handled differently between PR and HV, and those that exist only in one flavor, are handled in kvmppc_[gs]et_one_reg() functions that are specific to each flavor.

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification. This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled from vfio with no userspace intervention. All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we reserve a new one for this interface.

2012-05-30KVM: PPC: Not optimizing MSR_CE and MSR_ME with paravirt.Bharat Bhushan
If there is pending critical or machine check interrupt then guest would like to capture it when guest enable MSR.CE and MSR_ME respectively. Also as mostly MSR_CE and MSR_ME are updated with rfi/rfci/rfmii which anyway traps so removing the the paravirt optimization for MSR.CE and MSR.ME.

2012-05-30KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurablePaul Mackerras
This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest. The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2 of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the actual order of the HPT which was allocated. There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in kvm->arch.vcpus_running. If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done will re-establish the VRMA if necessary. If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants. When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed (256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to 1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to 16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity: "Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO, faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations and fixes. Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc update. Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while others are true pulls. In either case the signoffs should be correct now." Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.
