2012-05-30KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurablePaul Mackerras
This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest. The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2 of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the actual order of the HPT which was allocated. There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in kvm->arch.vcpus_running. If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done will re-establish the VRMA if necessary. If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants. When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed (256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to 1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to 16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

2012-04-27KVM: x86: Run PIT work in own kthreadJan Kiszka
We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share kernel threads. This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread a name in the format "kvm-pit/<owner-process-pid>".

Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space, IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage carefully.

2012-03-08KVM: Allow host IRQ sharing for assigned PCI 2.3 devicesJan Kiszka
PCI 2.3 allows to generically disable IRQ sources at device level. This enables us to share legacy IRQs of such devices with other host devices when passing them to a guest. The new IRQ sharing feature introduced here is optional, user space has to request it explicitly. Moreover, user space can inform us about its view of PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE so that we can avoid unmasking the interrupt and signaling it if the guest masked it via the virtualized PCI config space.

2012-03-05KVM: PPC: Add support for explicit HIOR settingAlexander Graf
Until now, we always set HIOR based on the PVR, but this is just wrong. Instead, we should be setting HIOR explicitly, so user space can decide what the initial HIOR value is - just like on real hardware. We keep the old PVR based way around for backwards compatibility, but once user space uses the SET_ONE_REG based method, we drop the PVR logic.

2012-03-05KVM: PPC: Add generic single register ioctlsAlexander Graf
Right now we transfer a static struct every time we want to get or set registers. Unfortunately, over time we realize that there are more of these than we thought of before and the extensibility and flexibility of transferring a full struct every time is limited. So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse most of the infrastructure and simply implement a GET_MANY_REGS / SET_MANY_REGS interface.

2012-03-05KVM: provide synchronous registers in kvm_runChristian Borntraeger
On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary. Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area for guest registers. We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will specify 1. which parts of these fields are valid. 2. which registers were modified by userspace Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like general purpose) or a single register.

2012-03-05KVM: s390: ucontrol: interface to inject faults on a vcpu page tableCarsten Otte
This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus address space for user controlled virtual machines. Typically this is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to be able to handle this condition.

This patch introduces a new exit reason in the kvm_run structure named KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL. This exit indicates, that a virtual cpu has regognized a fault on the host page table. The idea is that userspace can handle this fault by mapping memory at the fault location into the cpu's address space and then continue to run the virtual cpu.

2012-03-05KVM: s390: ucontrol: per vcpu address spacesCarsten Otte
This patch introduces two ioctls for virtual cpus, that are only valid for kernel virtual machines that are controlled by userspace. Each virtual cpu has its individual address space in this mode of operation, and each address space is backed by the gmap implementation just like the address space for regular KVM guests. KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP allows to map a part of the user's virtual address space to the vcpu. Starting offset and length in both the user and the vcpu address space need to be aligned to 1M. KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP can be used to unmap a range of memory from a virtual cpu in a similar way.

2011-12-26KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuidJan Kiszka
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants. This is broken in several ways: - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet; breaking it - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail. Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace. Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which: - Are not bridges - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices) - The user has permissions to use Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway. Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

2011-09-25KVM: x86: Raise the hard VCPU count limitSasha Levin
The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254. This will allow developers to easily work on scalability and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without patching the kernel. To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS returns the hard limit which is now 254.

2011-08-15lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yRusty Russell
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'. The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

2011-07-22lguest: Simplify device initialization.Rusty Russell
We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status. However, it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation. In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the status byte before starting the device service threads. But this corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device. So we had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the threads anyway. Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have acked. On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and start servicing the device. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-07-22lguest: Do not exit on non-fatal errorsSakari Ailus
Do not exit on some non-fatal errors: - writev() fails in net_output(). The result is a lost packet or packets. - writev() fails in console_output(). The result is partially lost console output. - readv() fails in net_input(). The result is a lost packet or packets. Rather than bringing the guest down, this patch ignores e.g. an allocation failure on the host side. Example: lguest: page allocation failure. order:4, mode:0x4d0 Pid: 4045, comm: lguest Tainted: G W 2.6.36 #1 Call Trace: [<c138d614>] ? printk+0x18/0x1c [<c106a4e2>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x4d2/0x570 [<c1087954>] cache_alloc_refill+0x2a4/0x4d0 [<c1305149>] ? __netif_receive_skb+0x189/0x270 [<c1087c5a>] __kmalloc+0xda/0xf0 [<c12fffa5>] __alloc_skb+0x55/0x100 [<c1305519>] ? net_rx_action+0x79/0x100 [<c12fafed>] sock_alloc_send_pskb+0x18d/0x280 [<c11fda25>] ? _copy_from_user+0x35/0x130 [<c13010b6>] ? memcpy_fromiovecend+0x56/0x80 [<c12a74dc>] tun_chr_aio_write+0x1cc/0x500 [<c108a125>] do_sync_readv_writev+0x95/0xd0 [<c11fda25>] ? _copy_from_user+0x35/0x130 [<c1089fa8>] ? rw_copy_check_uvector+0x58/0x100 [<c108a7bc>] do_readv_writev+0x9c/0x1d0 [<c12a7310>] ? tun_chr_aio_write+0x0/0x500 [<c108a93a>] vfs_writev+0x4a/0x60 [<c108aa21>] sys_writev+0x41/0x80 [<c138f061>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Mem-Info: DMA per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Normal per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 0 HighMem per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 0 active_anon:134651 inactive_anon:50543 isolated_anon:0 active_file:96881 inactive_file:132007 isolated_file:0 unevictable:0 dirty:3 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:91374 slab_reclaimable:6300 slab_unreclaimable:2802 mapped:2281 shmem:9 pagetables:330 bounce:0 DMA free:3524kB min:64kB low:80kB high:96kB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:8kB active_file:8760kB inactive_file:2760kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:15868kB mlocked:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:16kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:88kB slab_unreclaimable:148kB kernel_stack:40kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 865 2016 2016 Normal free:150100kB min:3728kB low:4660kB high:5592kB active_anon:6224kB inactive_anon:15772kB active_file:324084kB inactive_file:325944kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:885944kB mlocked:0kB dirty:12kB writeback:0kB mapped:1520kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:25112kB slab_unreclaimable:11060kB kernel_stack:1888kB pagetables:1320kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 9207 9207 HighMem free:211872kB min:512kB low:1752kB high:2992kB active_anon:532380kB inactive_anon:186392kB active_file:54680kB inactive_file:199324kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:1178504kB mlocked:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:7588kB shmem:36kB slab_reclaimable:0kB slab_unreclaimable:0kB kernel_stack:0kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 DMA: 3*4kB 65*8kB 35*16kB 18*32kB 11*64kB 9*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3524kB Normal: 35981*4kB 344*8kB 158*16kB 28*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 150100kB HighMem: 5732*4kB 5462*8kB 2826*16kB 1598*32kB 84*64kB 10*128kB 7*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 9*4096kB = 211872kB 231237 total pagecache pages 2340 pages in swap cache Swap cache stats: add 160060, delete 157720, find 189017/194106 Free swap = 4179840kB Total swap = 4194300kB 524271 pages RAM 296946 pages HighMem 5668 pages reserved 867664 pages shared 82155 pages non-shared Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-07-12KVM: KVM Steal time guest/host interfaceGlauber Costa
To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM. This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse we decided not to make. In this patchset, I am introducing a new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, that holds the memory area address containing information about steal time This patch contains the headers for it. I am keeping it separate to facilitate backports to people who wants to backport the kernel part but not the hypervisor, or the other way around.
