2012-11-29KVM: Fix user memslot overlap checkAlex Williamson
Prior to memory slot sorting this loop compared all of the user memory slots for overlap with new entries. With memory slot sorting, we're just checking some number of entries in the array that may or may not be user slots. Instead, walk all the slots with kvm_for_each_memslot, which has the added benefit of terminating early when we hit the first empty slot, and skip comparison to private slots.

2012-11-27KVM: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flagMarcelo Tosatti
KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. One of the reasons for that is that the time between 1. ktime_get_ts(&timespec); 2. rdtscll(tsc); Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above. The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...). If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details. Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs and guest TSCs. Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read clock from userspace. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This patch filters noslot pfn out from error pfns based on Marcelo comment: noslot pfn is not a error pfn After this patch, - is_noslot_pfn indicates that the gfn is not in slot - is_error_pfn indicates that the gfn is in slot but the error is occurred when translate the gfn to pfn - is_error_noslot_pfn indicates that the pfn either it is error pfns or it is noslot pfn And is_invalid_pfn can be removed, it makes the code more clean Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2012-09-17KVM: make processes waiting on vcpu mutex killableMichael S. Tsirkin
vcpu mutex can be held for unlimited time so taking it with mutex_lock on an ioctl is wrong: one process could be passed a vcpu fd and call this ioctl on the vcpu used by another process, it will then be unkillable until the owner exits. Call mutex_lock_killable instead and return status. Note: mutex_lock_interruptible would be even nicer, but I am not sure all users are prepared to handle EINTR from these ioctls. They might misinterpret it as an error. Cleanup paths expect a vcpu that can't be used by any userspace so this will always succeed - catch bugs by calling BUG_ON.

2012-07-23KVM: Choose better candidate for directed yieldRaghavendra K T
Currently, on a large vcpu guests, there is a high probability of yielding to the same vcpu who had recently done a pause-loop exit or cpu relax intercepted. Such a yield can lead to the vcpu spinning again and hence degrade the performance. The patchset keeps track of the pause loop exit/cpu relax interception and gives chance to a vcpu which: (a) Has not done pause loop exit or cpu relax intercepted at all (probably he is preempted lock-holder) (b) Was skipped in last iteration because it did pause loop exit or cpu relax intercepted, and probably has become eligible now (next eligible lock holder) Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Tested-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> # on s390x Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

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.
