When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't be able to use page->private for rmap, since page->rmap is reserved for the filesystem. So we move the rmap base pointers to the memory slot. A side effect of this is that we need to store the gfn of each gpte in the shadow pages, since the memory slot is addressed by gfn, instead of hfn like struct page.

This patch removes the fault injected when the guest attempts to set reserved bits in cr3. X86 hardware doesn't generate a fault when setting reserved bits. The result of this patch is that vmware-server, running within a kvm guest, boots and runs memtest from an iso.

When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and checking it later to see if the guest actually used it. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

由 Avi Kivity 提交于
There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm: - host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits - guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects the fault back into the guest to handle The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead. We can eliminate some of it on vmx using the following evil trick: - when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present - if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte - tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest, bypassing kvm entirely. Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a way to discriminate among page faults based on error code. It is also a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

KVM avoids reloading the efer msr when the difference between the guest and host values consist of the long mode bits (which are switched by hardware) and the NX bit (which is emulated by the KVM MMU). This patch also allows KVM to ignore SCE (syscall enable) when the guest is running in 32-bit mode. This is because the syscall instruction is not available in 32-bit mode on Intel processors, so the SCE bit is effectively meaningless. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better support live migration and SMP. It eliminates the hypercall page by trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right one lazily. A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to userspace. There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used. There is no code in tree that uses userspace hypercalls. [avi: fix #ud injection on vmx] Signed-off-by: NAnthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are enabled. This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver. Thus allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted. A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt and I've put a copy online at ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it another copy of it is online at: ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/kernel/ohci1394_dma_early-v2.diffSigned-Off-By: NBernhard Kaindl <bk@suse.de> Tested-By: NThomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The function __cpufreq_set_policy in file drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c has a very obvious error: if (policy->min > data->min && policy->min > policy->max) { ret = -EINVAL; goto error_out; } This condtion statement is wrong because it returns -EINVAL only if policy->min is greater than policy->max (in this case, "policy->min > data->min" is true for ever.). In fact, it should return -EINVAL as well if policy->max is less than data->min.

the previous patch in the old RTC driver. It also removes the direct rtc_interrupt() call from arch/x86/kernel/hpetc.c so that there's finally no (code) dependency to CONFIG_RTC in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c. Because of this, it's possible to compile the drivers/char/rtc.ko driver as module and still use the HPET emulation functionality. This is also expressed in Kconfig.

The ACPI code currently disables TSC use in any C2 and C3 states. But the AMD Fam10h BKDG documents that the TSC will never stop in any C states when the CONSTANT_TSC bit is set. Make this disabling conditional on CONSTANT_TSC not set on AMD. I actually think this is true on Intel too for C2 states on CPUs with p-state invariant TSC, but this needs further discussions with Len to really confirm :-) So far it is only enabled on AMD.

Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm() before entering C3. The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in C3 anyways. On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups. There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and dmi_string: out of memory. On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my case) and goes OOM in dmi_string(). If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct dmi_device) corresponding to these strings. On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices. Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string. Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add that to the dmi_devices list. On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes + 27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem.
