* [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Propagate cpu shutdown events to userspaceJoerg Roedel2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements forwarding of SHUTDOWN intercepts from the guest on to userspace on AMD SVM. A SHUTDOWN event occurs when the guest produces a triple fault (e.g. on reboot). This also fixes the bug that a guest reboot actually causes a host reboot under some circumstances.

* [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Report nx faults to the guestAvi Kivity2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the recent guest page fault change, we perform access checks on our own instead of relying on the cpu. This means we have to perform the nx checks as well. Software like the google toolbar on windows appears to rely on this somehow.

* [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Perform access checks in walk_addr()Avi Kivity2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check pte permission bits in walk_addr(), instead of scattering the checks all over the code. This has the following benefits: 1. We no longer set the accessed bit for accessed which fail permission checks. 2. Setting the accessed bit is simplified. 3. Under some circumstances, we used to pretend a page fault was fixed when it would actually fail the access checks. This caused an unnecessary vmexit. 4. The error code for guest page faults is now correct. The fix helps netbsd further along booting, and allows kvm to pass the new mmu testsuite.

* [PATCH] KVM: fix bogus pagefault on writable pagesAvi Kivity2007-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a page is marked as dirty in the guest pte, set_pte_common() can set the writable bit on newly-instantiated shadow pte. This optimization avoids a write fault after the initial read fault. However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly reports the fault as a guest page fault, and the guest oopses on what appears to be a correctly-mapped page. Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user access to a kernel page. With the fix, a kvm guest can survive a whole night of running the kernel hacker's screensaver (make -j9 in a loop).

* [PATCH] KVM: x86 emulator: fix bit string instructionsAvi Kivity2007-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The various bit string instructions (bts, btc, etc.) fail to adjust the address correctly if the bit address is beyond BITS_PER_LONG. This bug creeped in as the emulator originally relied on cr2 to contain the memory address; however we now decode it from the mod r/m bits, and must adjust the offset to account for large bit indices. The patch is rather large because it switches src and dst decoding around, so that the bit index is available when decoding the memory address. This fixes workloads like the FC5 installer.

* [PATCH] KVM: fix race between mmio reads and injected interruptsAvi Kivity2007-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kvm mmio read path looks like: 1. guest read faults 2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated() 3. fails as a read requires userspace help 4. exit to userspace 5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed 6. re-enter guest, fault again 7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated() 8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set 9. instruction completes and guest is resumed A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt injection. In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original instruction, but the interrupt handler. The next time an mmio read is exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original instruction. The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways: - little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals - ne2000 fails under nfs read load - rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is incapable of issuing them. Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending. A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately instead. However that's a bit more complex.

* [PATCH] KVM: MU: Special treatment for shadow pae root pagesAvi Kivity2007-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Since we're not going to cache the pae-mode shadow root pages, allocate a single pae shadow that will hold the four lower-level pages, which will act as roots.

* [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Fold fetch_guest() into init_walker()Avi Kivity2007-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is never necessary to fetch a guest entry from an intermediate page table level (except for large pages), so avoid some confusion by always descending into the lowest possible level. Rename init_walker() to walk_addr() as it is no longer restricted to initialization.
