* KVM: powerpc: Change maintainerAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Progress on KVM for Embedded PowerPC has stalled, but for Book3S there's quite a lot of work to do and going on. So in agreement with Hollis and Avi, we should switch maintainers for PowerPC.

* KVM: powerpc: Remove AGGRESSIVE_DECAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Because we now emulate the DEC interrupt according to real life behavior, there's no need to keep the AGGRESSIVE_DEC hack around. Let's just remove it.

* KVM: powerpc: Improve DEC handlingAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We treated the DEC interrupt like an edge based one. This is not true for Book3s. The DEC keeps firing until mtdec is issued again and thus clears the interrupt line. So let's implement this logic in KVM too. This patch moves the line clearing from the firing of the interrupt to the mtdec emulation. This makes PPC64 guests work without AGGRESSIVE_DEC defined.

* KVM: powerpc: Move vector to irqprio resolving to separate functionAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | We're using a switch table to find the irqprio that belongs to a specific interrupt vector. This table is part of the interrupt inject logic. Since we'll add a new function to stop interrupts, let's move this table out of the injection logic into a separate function.

* KVM: SVM: Adjust tsc_offset only if tsc_unstableJoerg Roedel2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The tsc_offset adjustment in svm_vcpu_load is executed unconditionally even if Linux considers the host tsc as stable. This causes a Linux guest detecting an unstable tsc in any case. This patch removes the tsc_offset adjustment if the host tsc is stable. The guest will now get the benefit of a stable tsc too.

* KVM: Add cpuid_update() callback to kvm_x86_opsSheng Yang2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Sometime, we need to adjust some state in order to reflect guest CPUID setting, e.g. if we don't expose rdtscp to guest, we won't want to enable it on hardware. cpuid_update() is introduced for this purpose. Also export kvm_find_cpuid_entry() for later use. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* x86: Raise vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier chainSheng Yang2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | KVM need vsyscall_init() to initialize MSR_TSC_AUX before it read the value. Per Avi's suggestion, this patch raised vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier chain, to 30.

* KVM: Extended shared_msr_global to per CPUSheng Yang2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shared_msr_global saved host value of relevant MSRs, but it have an assumption that all MSRs it tracked shared the value across the different CPUs. It's not true with some MSRs, e.g. MSR_TSC_AUX. Extend it to per CPU to provide the support of MSR_TSC_AUX, and more alike MSRs. Notice now the shared_msr_global still have one assumption: it can only deal with the MSRs that won't change in host after KVM module loaded.

* KVM: VMX: Fold ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() into its callerAvi Kivity2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4(). In this case, we can't, since cr4 is in the process of being updated. Instead of adding inane comments, fold the function into its caller (vmx_set_cr4), so it can use the not-yet-committed cr4 directly. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: VMX: When using ept, allow the guest to own cr4.pgeAvi Kivity2010-03-01
| | | | | | | We make no use of cr4.pge if ept is enabled, but the guest does (to flush global mappings, as with vmap()), so give the guest ownership of this bit. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: VMX: Make guest cr4 mask more conservativeAvi Kivity2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | Instead of specifying the bits which we want to trap on, specify the bits which we allow the guest to change transparently. This is safer wrt future changes to cr4. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: Add accessor for reading cr4 (or some bits of cr4)Avi Kivity2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them, we copy them to the vcpu structure. In preparation for making the set of guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need to know where the bit resides. No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.

These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES in an ELF core file. 'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer. struct iovec iov = { buf, len}; ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov); On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf. x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

| * | x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstateSuresh Siddha2010-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc. This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure. Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or the state is not saved in the memory layout. And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented in the memory layout. First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0). The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

Unfortunately, there are BIOSes, including the VMware BIOS, which report the previous mode if function 0F is queried while the screen is in a VESA mode, and of course, nothing can help a mode poked directly into the hardware. As such, the safe option is to set the mode anyway, and only query to see if we should be using mode 7 rather than mode 3. People who don't want any mode setting at all should probably use vga=0x0f04 (VIDEO_CURRENT_MODE). It's possible that should be the kernel default.

| * | | | x86, setup: When restoring the screen, update boot_params.screen_infoH. Peter Anvin2010-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we restore the screen content after a mode change, we return the cursor to its former position. However, we need to also update boot_params.screen_info accordingly, so that the decompression code knows where on the screen the cursor is. Just in case the video BIOS does something extra screwy, read the cursor position back from the BIOS instead of relying on it doing the right thing. While we're at it, make sure we cap the cursor position to the new screen coordinates.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Intel Architecture Optimization Reference Manual states that a short load that follows a long store to the same object will suffer a store forwading penalty, particularly if the two accesses use different addresses. Trivially, a long load that follows a short store will also suffer a penalty. __downgrade_write() in rwsem incurs both penalties: the increment operation will not be able to reuse a recently-loaded rwsem value, and its result will not be reused by any recently-following rwsem operation. A comment in the code states that this is because 64-bit immediates are special and expensive; but while they are slightly special (only a single instruction allows them), they aren't expensive: a test shows that two loops, one loading a 32-bit immediate and one loading a 64-bit immediate, both take 1.5 cycles per iteration. Fix this by changing __downgrade_write to use the same add instruction on i386 and on x86_64, so that it uses the same operand size as all the other rwsem functions.
