      KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not just a subset · d7b0b5eb
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      This patch moves s390 processor status word into the base kvm_run
      struct and keeps it up-to date on all userspace exits.
      
      The userspace ABI is broken by this, however there are no applications
      in the wild using this.  A capability check is provided so users can
      verify the updated API exists.

      KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offset · afbcf7ab
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      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.

      KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest support · ffde22ac
      Ed Swierk 提交于
      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.

      KVM: add ioeventfd support · d34e6b17
      Gregory Haskins 提交于
      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:
      
      http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
      
      The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
      hop.

      KVM: PIT support for HPET legacy mode · e9f42757
      Beth Kon 提交于
      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

      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

      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

      KVM: Enable MSI-X for KVM assigned device · d510d6cc
      Sheng Yang 提交于
      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.
