If all we're doing is increasing permissions on a pte (typical for demand paging), then there's not need to flush remote tlbs. Worst case they'll get a spurious page fault. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

When we map a page, we check whether some other vcpu mapped it for us and if so, bail out. But we should decrease the refcount on the page as we do so. Signed-off-by: NIzik Eidus <izike@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

First step to split kvm_vcpu. Currently, we just use an macro to define the common fields in kvm_vcpu for all archs, and all archs need to define its own kvm_vcpu struct. Signed-off-by: NZhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

This allows guest memory to be swapped. Pages which are currently mapped via shadow page tables are pinned into memory, but all other pages can be freely swapped. The patch makes gfn_to_page() elevate the page's reference count, and introduces kvm_release_page() that pairs with it.

The current kvm mmu only reverse maps writable translation. This is used to write-protect a page in case it becomes a pagetable. But with swapping support, we need a reverse mapping of read-only pages as well: when we evict a page, we need to remove any mapping to it, whether writable or not.

This time, the biggest change is gpa_to_hpa. The translation of GPA to HPA does not depend on the VCPU state unlike GVA to GPA so there's no need to pass in the kvm_vcpu. Signed-off-by: NAnthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Some of the MMU functions take a struct kvm_vcpu even though they affect all VCPUs. This patch cleans up some of them to instead take a struct kvm. This makes things a bit more clear. The main thing that was confusing me was whether certain functions need to be called on all VCPUs. Signed-off-by: NAnthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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.

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>

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>

Resetting an SMP guest will force AP enter real mode (RESET) with paging enabled in protected mode. While current enter_rmode() can only handle mode switch from nonpaging mode to real mode which leads to SMP reboot failure. Fix by reloading the mmu context on entering real mode.

Before preempt notifiers, kvm needed to allocate memory with GFP_NOWAIT so as not to have to enable preemption and take a heavyweight exit. On oom, we'd fall back to a GFP_KERNEL allocation. With preemption notifiers, we can do a GFP_KERNEL allocation, and perform the heavyweight exit only if the kernel decides to put us to sleep. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during the switch to guest mode and back.

A guest context switch to an uncached cr3 can require allocation of shadow pages, but we only recycle shadow pages in kvm_mmu_page_fault(). Move shadow page recycling to mmu_topup_memory_caches(), which is called from both the page fault handler and from guest cr3 reload.

The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where they should be kvm-wide. This causes hangs starting X on guest smp. Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific. Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit. We may have to revisit this later.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).
