      x86, kvm, vmx: Always use LOAD_IA32_EFER if available · f6577a5f

      At least on Sandy Bridge, letting the CPU switch IA32_EFER is much
      faster than switching it manually.
      
      I benchmarked this using the vmexit kvm-unit-test (single run, but
      GOAL multiplied by 5 to do more iterations):

      [The results were reproducible on all of Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and
       Ivy Bridge.  The slowness of manual switching is because writing
       to EFER with WRMSR triggers a TLB flush, even if the only bit you're
       touching is SCE (so the page table format is not affected).  Doing
       the write as part of vmentry/vmexit, instead, does not flush the TLB,
       probably because all processors that have EPT also have VPID. - Paolo]

      KVM: x86: detect LVTT changes under APICv · a323b409
      Radim Krčmář 提交于
      APIC-write VM exits are "trap-like": they save CS:RIP values for the
      instruction after the write, and more importantly, the handler will
      already see the new value in the virtual-APIC page.  This means that
      apic_reg_write cannot use kvm_apic_get_reg to omit timer cancelation
      when mode changes.
      
      timer_mode_mask shouldn't be changing as it depends on cpuid.

      already see the new value in the virtual-APIC page.
      
      This caused a bug if you used KVM_SET_IRQCHIP to set the SW-enabled bit
      in the SPIV register.  The chain of events is as follows:
      
      * When the irqchip is added to the destination VM, the apic_sw_disabled
      static key is incremented (1)
      
      * When the KVM_SET_IRQCHIP ioctl is invoked, it is decremented (0)
      
      * When the guest disables the bit in the SPIV register, e.g. as part of
      shutdown, apic_set_spiv does not notice the change and the static key is
      _not_ incremented.
      
      * When the guest is destroyed, the static key is decremented (-1),
      resulting in this trace:

      kvm: drop unsupported capabilities, fix documentation · 7f05db6a
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      No kernel ever reported KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI,
      KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT.
      
      This makes the documentation wrong, and no application ever
      written to use these capabilities has a chance to work correctly.
      The only way to detect support is to try, and test errno for ENOTTY.
      That's unfortunate, but we can't fix the past.
      
      Document the actual semantics, and drop the definitions from
      the exported header to make it easier for application
      developers to note and fix the bug.

      KVM: x86: fix deadline tsc interrupt injection · 1e0ad70c
      Radim Krčmář 提交于
      The check in kvm_set_lapic_tscdeadline_msr() was trying to prevent a
      situation where we lose a pending deadline timer in a MSR write.
      Losing it is fine, because it effectively occurs before the timer fired,
      so we should be able to cancel or postpone it.
      
      Another problem comes from interaction with QEMU, or other userspace
      that can set deadline MSR without a good reason, when timer is already
      pending:  one guest's deadline request results in more than one
      interrupt because one is injected immediately on MSR write from
      userspace and one through hrtimer later.
      
      The solution is to remove the injection when replacing a pending timer
      and to improve the usual QEMU path, we inject without a hrtimer when the
      deadline has already passed.
