2016-06-16KVM: remove kvm_vcpu_compatiblePaolo Bonzini
The new created_vcpus field makes it possible to avoid the race between irqchip and VCPU creation in a much nicer way; just check under kvm->lock whether a VCPU has already been created. We can then remove KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE too, because at this point the symbol is only governing the default definition of kvm_vcpu_compatible. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2016-05-13KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during pollChristian Borntraeger
Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough. This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests. This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls. For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll. This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor, we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though. This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP while still providing a proper speedup. This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

2015-02-09KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390Christian Borntraeger

2015-01-23KVM: Remove unused config symbolChristoffer Dall
The dirty patch logging series introduced both HAVE_KVM_ARCH_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT and KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT config symbols, but only KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT is used. Just remove the unused one.

2014-08-05KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling Kconfig optionPaul Mackerras
Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING. So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING, and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

2014-01-30KVM: async_pf: Provide additional direct page notificationDominik Dingel
By setting a Kconfig option, the architecture can control when guest notifications will be presented by the apf backend. There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu thread should pull in this information. Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the information to the guest. This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface. Still the vcpu thread should call check_completion to cleanup leftovers. Signed-off-by: Dominik Dingel <dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
2013-10-30kvm: Add VFIO deviceAlex Williamson
So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

2013-04-26KVM: Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTINGAlexander Graf
Quite a bit of code in KVM has been conditionalized on availability of IOAPIC emulation. However, most of it is generically applicable to platforms that don't have an IOPIC, but a different type of irq chip. Make code that only relies on IRQ routing, not an APIC itself, on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING, so that we can reuse it later. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Acked-by: Michael S.

2012-04-24KVM: Introduce direct MSI message injection for in-kernel irqchipsJan Kiszka
Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space, IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage carefully. By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.

2011-01-12KVM: Halt vcpu if page it tries to access is swapped outGleb Natapov
If a guest accesses swapped out memory do not swap it in from vcpu thread context. Schedule work to do swapping and put vcpu into halted state instead. Interrupts will still be delivered to the guest and if interrupt will cause reschedule guest will continue to run another task.

2009-09-10KVM: irqfdGregory Haskins
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86). Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices, pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available interrupt window.
