* KVM: Move kvmfs magic number to <linux/magic.h>Andrew Morton2007-03-04

* KVM: Fix bogus failure in kvm.ko module initializationAvi Kivity2007-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A bogus 'return r' can cause an otherwise successful module load to fail. This both denies users the use of kvm, and it also denies them the use of their machine, as it leaves a filesystem registered with its callbacks pointing into now-freed module memory. Fix by returning a zero like a good module. Thanks to Richard Lucassen <mailinglists@lucassen.org> (?) for reporting the problem and for providing access to a machine which exhibited it.

* KVM: Remove write access permissions when dirty-page-logging is enabledUri Lublin2007-03-04
| | | | | | | | | Enabling dirty page logging is done using KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl. If the memory region already exists, we need to remove write accesses, so writes will be caught, and dirty pages will be logged.

* KVM: Per-vcpu inodesAvi Kivity2007-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following benefits: - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on every ioctl() - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived from the fd used to make the call Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

* KVM: Create an inode per virtual machineAvi Kivity2007-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different, which is a little unorthodox. The ioctl list is split into two: global kvm ioctls and per-vm ioctls. A new ioctl, KVM_CREATE_VM, is used to create VMs and return the VM fd. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

* [PATCH] KVM: Prevent stale bits in cr0 and cr4Avi Kivity2007-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware virtualization implementations allow the guests to freely change some of the bits in cr0 and cr4, but trap when changing the other bits. This is useful to avoid excessive exits due to changing, for example, the ts flag. It also means the kvm's copy of cr0 and cr4 may be stale with respect to these bits. most of the time this doesn't matter as these bits are not very interesting. Other times, however (for example when returning cr0 to userspace), they are, so get the fresh contents of these bits from the guest by means of a new arch operation.

* [PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt responseDor Laor2007-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under the following circumstances: - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear, or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags, but the other cases or not testable under the current API. - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably never happens under normal guests. - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that it can be handled by the host. In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest. This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which causes an error with the following sequence. 1.
