2008-03-25KVM: MMU: Fix memory leak on guest demand faultsAvi Kivity
While backporting 72dc67a69690288538142df73a7e3ac66fea68dc, a gfn_to_page() call was duplicated instead of moved (due to an unrelated patch not being present in mainline). This caused a page reference leak, resulting in a fairly massive memory leak. Fix by removing the extraneous gfn_to_page() call. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-25KVM: MMU: handle page removal with shadow mappingMarcelo Tosatti
Do not assume that a shadow mapping will always point to the same host frame number. Fixes crash with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). [avi: move after first printk(), add another printk()] Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-25KVM: MMU: Fix is_rmap_pte() with io ptesAvi Kivity
is_rmap_pte() doesn't take into account io ptes, which have the avail bit set. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-04KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pteAvi Kivity
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-04KVM: make MMU_DEBUG compile againMarcelo Tosatti
the cr3 variable is now inside the vcpu->arch structure. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-04KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus
This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore. Signed-off-by: Izik Eidus <izike@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Fix dirty page setting for pages removed from rmapIzik Eidus
Right now rmap_remove won't set the page as dirty if the shadow pte pointed to this page had write access and then it became readonly. This patches fixes that, by setting the page as dirty for spte changes from write to readonly access. Signed-off-by: Izik Eidus <izike@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Move kvm_free_some_pages() into critical sectionAvi Kivity
If some other cpu steals mmu pages between our check and an attempt to allocate, we can run out of mmu pages. Fix by moving the check into the same critical section as the allocation. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlockMarcelo Tosatti
Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock spinlock. Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias and memslot changes. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Avoid calling gfn_to_page() in mmu_set_spte()Avi Kivity
Since gfn_to_page() is a sleeping function, and we want to make the core mmu spinlocked, we need to pass the page from the walker context (which can sleep) to the shadow context (which cannot). [marcelo: avoid recursive locking of mmap_sem] Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkersMarcelo Tosatti
Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code, only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling. Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use mmap_sem in read-mode. And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

2008-01-30KVM: MMU: Coalesce remote tlb flushesEddie Dong
Host side TLB flush can be merged together if multiple spte need to be write-protected. Signed-off-by: Yaozu (Eddie) Dong <eddie.dong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Move arch dependent files to new directory arch/x86/kvm/Avi Kivity
This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
