When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.

Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.

This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.

A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.

I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.

I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest.  Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.

Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.

However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc).  For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible.  All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling.  This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.

Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd.  This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.

To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell".  This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled.  It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().

We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl().  The other is direct via
ioeventfd.

You can download this test harness here:

ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2

The measured results are as follows:

qemu-mmio:       110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio:  367300 iops, 2.72us rtt

I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy.  However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:

qemu-pio:      153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt

these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.

Here is a graph for your convenience:

The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.

The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure.  This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism:  Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.

After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework
together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo
suggest to split it into a more elegant way:

1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the
combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific
KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to
enable MSI to INTx convertion.

2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls:
KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ.

This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the
old interface).

This patch finally enable MSI-X.

What we need for MSI-X:
1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired
MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and
transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY.

2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one
interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to
identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done.

3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X
message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so
that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi.

What we lack for now:
1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of
MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first
step (so they are always 0 - no pending).

2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS
can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch
didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way.

3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would
implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace
should have reposibility to handle it.

Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC).  This is insufficient for several reasons:

- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
  ioapics

This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table.  The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.

To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.

The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be

There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/

in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to
save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious
NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be
handled while processing the first one.

Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection
interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old
