This patch adds an implementation to the svm is_disabled function to detect reliably if the BIOS disabled the SVM feature in the CPU. This fixes the issues with kernel panics when loading the kvm-amd module on machines where SVM is available but disabled.

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by: - setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry - if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it exits before we continue Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which might fail. Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry, where we can return an error if allocation fails.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

We only have to save/restore MSR_GS_BASE on every VMEXIT. The rest can be saved/restored when we leave the VCPU. Since we don't emulate the DEBUGCTL MSRs and the guest cannot write to them, we don't have to worry about saving/restoring them at all. This shaves a whopping 40% off raw vmexit costs on AMD.

When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters. This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot. As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles), we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

This patch forbids the guest to execute monitor/mwait instructions on SVM. This is necessary because the guest can execute these instructions if they are available even if the kvm cpuid doesn't report its existence.

set_cr0_no_modeswitch() was a hack to avoid corrupting segment registers. As we now cache the protected mode values on entry to real mode, this isn't an issue anymore, and it interferes with reboot (which usually _is_ a modeswitch). Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses, relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a page boundary. Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks atomically by taking the appropriate locks. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Currently, userspace is told about the nature of the last exit from the guest using two fields, exit_type and exit_reason, where exit_type has just two enumerations (and no need for more). So fold exit_type into exit_reason, reducing the complexity of determining what really happened. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to return to the guest. We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel. We still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow management software to set the cpu features to the least common denominator, so that live migration can work). The motivation for the change is that kvm kernel code can be impacted by cpuid features, for example the x86 emulator. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx (on string instructions). This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when they get kvm ports. So fix by doing the register fixups in the kernel and passing to userspace only an abstract description of the PIO to be done. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
