* KVM: Add VT-x machine check supportAndi Kleen2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VT-x needs an explicit MC vector intercept to handle machine checks in the hyper visor. It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen during VT entry. Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently. Thanks to Jiang Yunhong for help and testing.

* KVM: x86: Virtualize debug registersJan Kiszka2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use those registers. This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and guest. This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with content reflecting the guest's modifications. Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows... Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on Intel. Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging series as platform for this patch. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: VMX: Support for injecting software exceptionsJan Kiszka2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | VMX differentiates between processor and software generated exceptions when injecting them into the guest. Extend vmx_queue_exception accordingly (and refactor related constants) so that we can use this service reliably for the new guest debugging framework.

* KVM: VMX: move ASM_VMX_* definitions from asm/kvm_host.h to asm/vmx.hEduardo Habkost2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | Those definitions will be used by code outside KVM, so move it outside of a KVM-specific source file. Those definitions are used only on kvm/vmx.c, that already includes asm/vmx.h, so they can be moved safely.

* KVM: VMX: move vmx.h to include/asmEduardo Habkost2008-12-31
vmx.h will be used by core code that is independent of KVM, so I am moving it outside the arch/x86/kvm directory. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
