The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where they should be kvm-wide. This causes hangs starting X on guest smp. Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific. Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit. We may have to revisit this later.

The hotplug IPIs can be called from the cpu on which we are currently running on, so use on_cpu(). Similarly, drop on_each_cpu() for the suspend/resume callbacks, as we're in atomic context here and only one cpu is up anyway. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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>

MSR_EFER.LME/LMA bits are automatically save/restored by VMX hardware, KVM only needs to save NX/SCE bits at time of heavy weight VM Exit. But clearing NX bits in host envirnment may cause system hang if the host page table is using EXB bits, thus we leave NX bits as it is. If Host NX=1 and guest NX=0, we can do guest page table EXB bits check before inserting a shadow pte (though no guest is expecting to see this kind of gp fault). If host NX=0, we present guest no Execute-Disable feature to guest, thus no host NX=0, guest NX=1 combination. This patch reduces raw vmexit time by ~27%. Me: fix compile warnings on i386.

Attempting to boot the default 'bsd' kernel of OpenBSD 4.1 i386 in a guest fails early in the kernel init inside p3_get_bus_clock while trying to read the IA32_EBL_CR_POWERON MSR. KVM logs an 'unhandled MSR' message and the guest kernel faults. This patch is sufficient to allow OpenBSD to boot, after which it seems to run fine. I'm not sure if this is the correct solution for dealing with this particular MSR, but it works for me. Signed-off-by: NMatthew Gregan <kinetik@flim.org> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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%).

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

When emulating an mmio read, we actually emulate twice: once to determine the physical address of the mmio, and, after we've exited to userspace to get the mmio value, we emulate again to place the value in the result register and update any flags. But we don't really need to enter the guest again for that, only to take an immediate vmexit. So, if we detect that we're doing an mmio read, emulate a single instruction before entering the guest again. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler, which detects if they are shadow faults, mmio faults, pagetable faults, or normal guest page faults. However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later. One of these events is the following combination: - A two memory operand instruction (e.g. movsb) is executed. - The first operand is in mmio space (which is the fault reported to kvm) - The second operand is in an ummaped address (e.g. a guest page fault) The Windows 2000 installer does such an access, an promptly hangs. Fix by adding the missing page fault injection on that path. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently, one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot), then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()). This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it internally.

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>
