2010-09-23KVM: Fix reboot on Intel hostsAvi Kivity
When we reboot, we disable vmx extensions or otherwise INIT gets blocked. If a task on another cpu hits a vmx instruction, it will fault if vmx is disabled. We trap that to avoid a nasty oops and spin until the reboot completes. Problem is, we sleep with interrupts disabled. This blocks smp_send_stop() from running, and the reboot process halts. Fix by enabling interrupts before spinning. KVM-Stable-Tag. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2010-09-09KVM: x86: Perform hardware_enable in CPU_STARTING callbackZachary Amsden
The CPU_STARTING callback was added upstream with the intention of being used for KVM, specifically for the hardware enablement that must be done before we can run in hardware virt. It had bugs on the x86_64 architecture at the time, where it was called after CPU_ONLINE. The arches have since merged and the bug is gone. It might be noted other features should probably start making use of this callback; microcode updates in particular which might be fixing important erratums would be best applied before beginning to run user tasks.

2010-08-01KVM: Avoid killing userspace through guest SRAO MCE on unmapped pagesHuang Ying
In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay the MCE to guest OS. But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will be killed. The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.

2010-05-17KVM: coalesced_mmio: fix kvm_coalesced_mmio_init()'s error handlingTakuya Yoshikawa
kvm_coalesced_mmio_init() keeps to hold the addresses of a coalesced mmio ring page and dev even after it has freed them. Also, if this function fails, though it might be rare, it seems to be suggesting the system's serious state: so we'd better stop the works following the kvm_creat_vm(). This patch clears these problems. We move the coalesced mmio's initialization out of kvm_create_vm(). This seems to be natural because it includes a registration which can be done only when vm is successfully created.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-03KVM: Activate Virtualization On DemandAlexander Graf
X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB entries (svm). Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking other VMMs. To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine and disabled on destruction of the last one. So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other hypervisors usable.
