Treat monitor and mwait instructions as nop, which is architecturally correct (but inefficient) behavior. We do this to prevent misbehaving guests (e.g. OS X <= 10.7) from crashing after they fail to check for monitor/mwait availability via cpuid. Since mwait-based idle loops relying on these nop-emulated instructions would keep the host CPU pegged at 100%, do NOT advertise their presence via cpuid, to prevent compliant guests from using them inadvertently.

It seems that it's easy to implement the EOI assist on top of the PV EOI feature: simply convert the page address to the format expected by PV EOI. Notes: -"No EOI required" is set only if interrupt injected is edge triggered; this is true because level interrupts are going through IOAPIC which disables PV EOI. In any case, if guest triggers EOI the bit will get cleared on exit. -For migration, set of HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE sets KVM_PV_EOI_EN internally, so restoring HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE seems sufficient In any case, bit is cleared on exit so worst case it's never re-enabled -no handling of PV EOI data is performed at HV_X64_MSR_EOI write; HV_X64_MSR_EOI is a separate optimization - it's an X2APIC replacement that lets you do EOI with an MSR and not IO.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140506' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next 1. Fixes an error return code for the breakpoint setup 2. External interrupt fixes 2.1. Some interrupt conditions like cpu timer or clock comparator stay pending even after the interrupt is injected. If the external new PSW is enabled for interrupts this will result in an endless loop. Usually this indicates a programming error in the guest OS. Lets detect such situations and go to userspace. We will provide a QEMU patch that sets the guest in panicked/crashed state to avoid wasting CPU cycles. 2.2 Resend external interrupts back to the guest if the HW could not do it. -

The external interrupt interception can only occur in rare cases, e.g. when the PSW of the interrupt handler has a bad value. The old handler for this interception simply ignored these events (except for increasing the exit_external_interrupt counter), but for proper operation we either have to inject the interrupts manually or we should drop to userspace in case of errors.

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec) when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks. Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides do not do rcu lockdep at all). Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods. Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation). (Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected, changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8% probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch. The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points). Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.

Guest handling fixes The handling of MVPG, PFMF and Test Block is fixed to better follow the architecture. None of these fixes is critical for any current Linux guests, but let's play safe. 2. Optimization for single CPU guests We can enable the IBS facility if only one VCPU is running (!STOPPED state). We also enable this optimization for guest > 1 VCPU as soon as all but one VCPU is in stopped state. Thus will help guests that have tools like cpuplugd (from s390-utils) that do dynamic offline/ online of CPUs. 3. NOTES There is one non-s390 change in include/linux/kvm_host.h that introduces 2 defines for VCPU requests: define KVM_REQ_ENABLE_IBS 23 define KVM_REQ_DISABLE_IBS 24

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later read can fault on that spte. Actually, we can make the large spte readonly instead of making them un-present, the page fault caused by read access can be avoided The idea is from Avi: | As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea, | since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces | jitter. This removes the need for the return value. This version has fixed the issue reported in 6b73a960, the reason of that issue is that fast_page_fault() directly sets the readonly large spte to writable but only dirty the first page into the dirty-bitmap that means other pages are missed.

If a guest enables a performance counter but does not enable PMI, the hypervisor currently does not reprogram the performance counter once it overflows. As a result the host performance counter is kept with the original sampling period which was configured according to the value of the guest's counter when the counter was enabled. Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can cause the guest not to make any progress at all, and keep exiting due to host PMI before any guest instructions is exeucted. This situation occurs when the performance counter holds a very high value when the guest enables the performance counter. As a result the host's sampling period is configured to be very short. The host then never reconfigures the sampling period and get stuck at entry->PMI->exit loop. We encountered such a scenario in our experiments. The solution is to reprogram the counter even if the guest does not use PMI. Signed-off-by: NNadav Amit <namit@cs.technion.ac.il> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140422' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into queue Lazy storage key handling ------------------------- Linux does not use the ACC and F bits of the storage key. Newer Linux versions also do not use the storage keys for dirty and reference tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults as well as page-in and page-out by simply not caring about the guest visible storage key. We trap guest storage key instruction to enable those keys only on demand. Migration bitmap Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty bitmap. Let's provide a proper migration bitmap for s390. We also change the user dirty tracking to a fault based mechanism. This makes the host completely independent from the storage keys. Long term this will allow us to back guest memory with large pages. per-VM device attributes ------------------------ To avoid the introduction of new ioctls, let's provide the attribute semanantic also on the VM-"device". Userspace controlled CMMA ------------------------- The CMMA assist is changed from "always on" to "on if requested" via per-VM device attributes. In addition a callback to reset all usage states is provided. Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts ---------------------------------------- While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects, KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of intercepts. This worked out fine, because - the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real for all pages up to memory size - intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases - all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current distros Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc. We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going public. GDB support ----------- We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints. Fixes/Cleanups -------------- - Improve program check delivery - Factor out the handling of transactional memory on program checks - Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB - Several cleanups in the lowcore structure - Documentation NOTES ----- - All patches touching base s390 are either ACKed or written by the s390 maintainers - One base KVM patch "KVM: add kvm_is_error_gpa() helper" - One patch introduces the notion of VM device attributes Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Conflicts: include/uapi/linux/kvm.h
