2013-04-26kvm: destroy emulated devices on VM exitScott Wood

2013-04-26kvm: add device control APIScott Wood
Currently, devices that are emulated inside KVM are configured in a hardcoded manner based on an assumption that any given architecture only has one way to do it. If there's any need to access device state, it is done through inflexible one-purpose-only IOCTLs (e.g. KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC). Defining new IOCTLs for every little thing is cumbersome and depletes a limited numberspace. This API provides a mechanism to instantiate a device of a certain type, returning an ID that can be used to set/get attributes of the device. Attributes may include configuration parameters (e.g. register base address), device state, operational commands, etc. It is similar to the ONE_REG API, except that it acts on devices rather than vcpus. Both device types and individual attributes can be tested without having to create the device or get/set the attribute, without the need for separately managing enumerated capabilities.

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.

2013-04-15KVM: Use eoi to track RTC interrupt delivery statusYang Zhang
Current interrupt coalescing logci which only used by RTC has conflict with Posted Interrupt. This patch introduces a new mechinism to use eoi to track interrupt: When delivering an interrupt to vcpu, the pending_eoi set to number of vcpu that received the interrupt.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2013-02-04KVM: set_memory_region: Identify the requested change explicitlyTakuya Yoshikawa
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify what kind of change is being requested by checking the arguments. The current code does this checking at various points in code and each condition being used there is not easy to understand at first glance. This patch consolidates these checks and introduces an enum to name the possible changes to clean up the code. Although this does not introduce any functional changes, there is one change which optimizes the code a bit: if we have nothing to change, the new code returns 0 immediately. Note that the return value for this case cannot be changed since QEMU relies on it: we noticed this when we changed it to -EINVAL and got a section mismatch error at the final stage of live migration.

2013-01-29kvm: Handle yield_to failure return code for potential undercommit caseRaghavendra K T
yield_to returns -ESRCH, When source and target of yield_to run queue length is one. When we see three successive failures of yield_to we assume we are in potential undercommit case and abort from PLE handler. The assumption is backed by low probability of wrong decision for even worst case scenarios such as average runqueue length between 1 and 2. More detail on rationale behind using three tries: if p is the probability of finding rq length one on a particular cpu, and if we do n tries, then probability of exiting ple handler is: p^(n+1) [ because we would have come across one source with rq length 1 and n target cpu rqs with length 1 ] so num tries: probability of aborting ple handler (1.5x overcommit) 1 1/4 2 1/8 3 1/16 We can increase this probability with more tries, but the problem is the overhead. Also, If we have tried three times that means we would have iterated over 3 good eligible vcpus along with many non-eligible candidates. In worst case if we iterate all the vcpus, we reduce 1x performance and overcommit performance get hit. note that we do not update last boosted vcpu in failure cases. Thank Avi for raising question on aborting after first fail from yield_to.

This needs some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path: - for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest. - A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also considered in above update action, since hardware will decide when to inject it at right time.

2013-01-17KVM: set_memory_region: Remove unnecessary variable memslotTakuya Yoshikawa
One such variable, slot, is enough for holding a pointer temporarily. We also remove another local variable named slot, which is limited in a block, since it is confusing to have the same name in this function.

2013-01-14KVM: Write protect the updated slot only when dirty logging is enabledTakuya Yoshikawa
Calling kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() for a deleted slot does nothing but search for non-existent mmu pages which have mappings to that deleted memory; this is safe but a waste of time. Since we want to make the function rmap based in a later patch, in a manner which makes it unsafe to be called for a deleted slot, we makes the caller see if the slot is non-zero and being dirty logged.

2012-12-23kvm: Fix memory slot generation updatesAlex Williamson
Previous patch "kvm: Minor memory slot optimization" (b7f69c555ca43) overlooked the generation field of the memory slots. Re-using the original memory slots left us with with two slightly different memory slots with the same generation. To fix this, make update_memslots() take a new parameter to specify the last generation. This also makes generation management more explicit to avoid such problems in the future.

This hack is wrong. The pin number of PIT is connected to 2 not 0. This means this hack never takes effect. So it is ok to remove it. Signed-off-by: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@Intel.com> Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>
