* KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

* KVM: emulate access to MSR_IA32_MCG_CTLJoerg Roedel2008-03-03
| | | | | | | | | Injecting an GP when accessing this MSR lets Windows crash when running some stress test tools in KVM. So this patch emulates access to this MSR.

* KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm propertyAvi Kivity2008-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm. As such, it is useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first. Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is to move it to the device ioctl handler. The capability identifier is also changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: Fix kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs so that set_cr0 works properlyPaul Knowles2008-03-03
| | | | | | | | | Whilst working on getting a VM to initialize in to IA32e mode I found this issue. set_cr0 relies on comparing the old cr0 to the new one to work correctly. Move the assignment below so the compare can work. Signed-off-by: Paul Knowles <paul@transitive.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

* KVM: Move apic timer migration away from critical sectionAvi Kivity2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | Migrating the apic timer in the critical section is not very nice, and is absolutely horrible with the real-time port. Move migration to the regular vcpu execution path, triggered by a new bitflag. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: Fix unbounded preemption latencyAvi Kivity2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | When preparing to enter the guest, if an interrupt comes in while preemption is disabled but interrupts are still enabled, we miss a preemption point. Fix by explicitly checking whether we need to reschedule. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: Initialize the mmu caches only after verifying cpu supportAvi Kivity2008-01-30
| | | | | | | Otherwise we re-initialize the mmu caches, which will fail since the caches are already registered, which will cause us to deinitialize said caches. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: x86 emulator: Only allow VMCALL/VMMCALL trapped by #UDSheng Yang2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot survive more than ten seconds, then encounterd kernel panic. The basic concept of "crashme" is generating random assembly code and trying to execute it. After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the #UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem. In the patch, we simply check that if the invalid opcode wasn't vmcall/vmmcall, then return from emulate_instruction() and inject a #UD to guest. With the patch, the guest had been running for more than 12 hours.

* KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkersMarcelo Tosatti2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code, only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling. Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use mmap_sem in read-mode. And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

* KVM: Accelerated apic supportAvi Kivity2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | This adds a mechanism for exposing the virtual apic tpr to the guest, and a protocol for letting the guest update the tpr without causing a vmexit if conditions allow (e.g. there is no interrupt pending with a higher priority than the new tpr).

* KVM: local APIC TPR access reporting facilityAvi Kivity2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | Add a facility to report on accesses to the local apic tpr even if the local apic is emulated in the kernel. This is basically a hack that allows userspace to patch Windows which tends to bang on the tpr a lot. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
