* KVM: PIT: provide an option to disable interrupt reinjectionMarcelo Tosatti2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Certain clocks (such as TSC) in older 2.6 guests overaccount for lost ticks, causing severe time drift. Interrupt reinjection magnifies the problem. Provide an option to disable it. [avi: allow room for expansion in case we want to disable reinjection of other timers] Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

* KVM: VMX: initialize TSC offset relative to vm creation timeMarcelo Tosatti2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VMX initializes the TSC offset for each vcpu at different times, and also reinitializes it for vcpus other than 0 on APIC SIPI message. This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if the host is good. Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time: http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg02955.html http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2025534&group_id=180599&atid=893831 Fix it by initializating the offset of each vcpu relative to vm creation time, and moving it from vmx_vcpu_reset to vmx_vcpu_setup, out of the APIC MP init path.

* KVM: Fix vmload and friends misinterpreted as lidtAvi Kivity2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The AMD SVM instruction family all overload the 0f 01 /3 opcode, further multiplexing on the three r/m bits. But the code decided that anything that isn't a vmmcall must be an lidt (which shares the 0f 01 /3 opcode, for the case that mod = 3). Fix by aborting emulation if this isn't a vmmcall.

* KVM: MMU: Initialize a shadow page's global attribute from cr4.pgeAvi Kivity2009-03-24

* KVM: MMU: Segregate mmu pages created with different cr4.pge settingsAvi Kivity2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Don't allow a vcpu with cr4.pge cleared to use a shadow page created with cr4.pge set; this might cause a cr3 switch not to sync ptes that have the global bit set (the global bit has no effect if !cr4.pge). This can only occur on smp with different cr4.pge settings for different vcpus (since a cr4 change will resync the shadow ptes), but there's no cost to being correct here.

* 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: Allow single-stepping when uninterruptibleJan Kiszka2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When single-stepping over STI and MOV SS, we must clear the corresponding interruptibility bits in the guest state. Otherwise vmentry fails as it then expects bit 14 (BS) in pending debug exceptions being set, but that's not correct for the guest debugging case. Note that clearing those bits is safe as we check for interruptibility based on the original state and do not inject interrupts or NMIs if guest interruptibility was blocked.

* KVM: New guest debug interfaceJan Kiszka2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug registers is layed. To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to tell debug events properly apart. The availability of this new interface is signaled by KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are provided. Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

* KVM: SVM: Only allow setting of EFER_SVME when CPUID SVM is setAlexander Graf2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace has to tell the kernel module somehow that nested SVM should be used. The easiest way that doesn't break anything I could think of is to implement if (cpuid & svm) allow write to efer else deny write to efer Old userspaces mask the SVM capability bit, so they don't break. In order to find out that the SVM capability is set, I had to split the kvm_emulate_cpuid into a finding and an emulating part.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run. So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it. We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less than the first level guest. v2 implements the following improvements: - fixes the CPL check - does not allocate iopm when not used - remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags v3: - make use of the new permission checking - add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK v4: - use host page backed hsave v5: - remove IOPM merging code v6: - save cr4 so PAE l1 guests work v7: - return 0 on vmrun so we check the MSRs too - fix MSR check to use the correct variable Acked-by: Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

| * dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell2009-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

| * smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on openSteve Glendinning2009-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module is loaded. Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex. The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are correctly ignored by the hardware. Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib, but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.
