KVM: Handle virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot · 4ecac3fd

由 Avi Kivity 提交于 5月 13, 2008

KVM turns off hardware virtualization extensions during reboot, in order
to disassociate the memory used by the virtualization extensions from the
processor, and in order to have the system in a consistent state.
Unfortunately virtual machines may still be running while this goes on,
and once virtualization extensions are turned off, any virtulization
instruction will #UD on execution.

Fix by adding an exception handler to virtualization instructions; if we get
an exception during reboot, we simply spin waiting for the reset to complete.
If it's a true exception, BUG() so we can have our stack trace.

KVM: MMU: Fix false flooding when a pte points to page table · 1b7fcd32

由 Avi Kivity 提交于 5月 15, 2008

The KVM MMU tries to detect when a speculative pte update is not actually
used by demand fault, by checking the accessed bit of the shadow pte. If
the shadow pte has not been accessed, we deem that page table flooded and
remove the shadow page table, allowing further pte updates to proceed
without emulation.

However, if the pte itself points at a page table and only used for write
operations, the accessed bit will never be set since all access will happen
through the emulator.

This is exactly what happens with kscand on old (2.4.x) HIGHMEM kernels.
The kernel points a kmap_atomic() pte at a page table, and then
proceeds with read-modify-write operations to look at the dirty and accessed
bits. We get a false flood trigger on the kmap ptes, which results in the
mmu spending all its time setting up and tearing down shadows.

Fix by setting the shadow accessed bit on emulated accesses.

KVM: SVM: Fake MSR_K7 performance counters · 14ae51b6

由 Chris Lalancette 提交于 5月 05, 2008

Attached is a patch that fixes a guest crash when booting older Linux kernels.
The problem stems from the fact that we are currently emulating
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL[0-3], but not emulating MSR_K7_PERFCTR[0-3]. Because of this,
setup_k7_watchdog() in the Linux kernel receives a GPF when it attempts to
write into MSR_K7_PERFCTR, which causes an OOPs.

The patch fixes it by just "fake" emulating the appropriate MSRs, throwing
away the data in the process. This causes the NMI watchdog to not actually
work, but it's not such a big deal in a virtualized environment.

When we get a write to one of these counters, we printk_ratelimit() a warning.
I decided to print it out for all writes, even if the data is 0; it doesn't
seem to make sense to me to special case when data == 0.

Tested by myself on a RHEL-4 guest, and Joerg Roedel on a Windows XP 64-bit
guest.

KVM: PIT: support mode 3 · f6975545

由 Aurelien Jarno 提交于 5月 02, 2008

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating
under mode 3, which for example Hurd uses.

This mode should output a square wave, high for (N+1)/2 counts and low
for (N-1)/2 counts. As we only care about the resulting interrupts, the
period is N, and mode 3 is the same as mode 2 with regard to
interrupts.
