SMBASE is only readable from SMM for the VCPU, but it must be always accessible if userspace is accessing it. Thus, all functions that read MSRs are changed to accept a struct msr_data; the host_initiated and index fields are pre-initialized, while the data field is filled on return.

We will want to filter away MSR_IA32_SMBASE from the emulated_msrs if the host CPU does not support SMM virtualization. Introduce the logic to do that, and also move paravirt MSRs to emulated_msrs for simplicity and to get rid of KVM_SAVE_MSRS_BEGIN.

The periodic kvmclock sync can be an undesired source of latencies. When running cyclictest on a guest, a latency spike is visible. With kvmclock periodic sync disabled, the spike is gone. Guests should use ntp which means the propagations of ntp corrections from the host clock are unnecessary. v2: -> Make parameter read-only (Radim) -> Return early on kvmclock_sync_fn (Andrew) Reported-and-tested-by: NLuiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more than one address space will be supported. Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted away in two places. Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures, and is left for later.

Currently KVM will clear the FPU bits in CR0.TS in the VMCS, and trap to re-load them every time the guest accesses the FPU after a switch back into the guest from the host. This patch copies the x86 task switch semantics for FPU loading, with the FPU loaded eagerly after first use if the system uses eager fpu mode, or if the guest uses the FPU frequently. In the latter case, after loading the FPU for 255 times, the fpu_counter will roll over, and we will revert to loading the FPU on demand, until it has been established that the guest is still actively using the FPU. This mirrors the x86 task switch policy, which seems to work. Signed-off-by: NRik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

The kvmclock spec says that the host will increment a version field to an odd number, then update stuff, then increment it to an even number. The host is buggy and doesn't do this, and the result is observable when one vcpu reads another vcpu's kvmclock data. There's no good way for a guest kernel to keep its vdso from reading a different vcpu's kvmclock data, but we don't need to care about changing VCPUs as long as we read a consistent data from kvmclock. (VCPU can change outside of this loop too, so it doesn't matter if we return a value not fit for this VCPU.) Based on a patch by Radim Krčmář.

Dirty logging tracks sptes in 4k granularity, meaning that large sptes have to be split. If live migration is successful, the guest in the source machine will be destroyed and large sptes will be created in the destination. However, the guest continues to run in the source machine (for example if live migration fails), small sptes will remain around and cause bad performance. This patch introduce lazy collapsing of small sptes into large sptes. The rmap will be scanned in ioctl context when dirty logging is stopped, dropping those sptes which can be collapsed into a single large-page spte. Later page faults will create the large-page sptes.

POWER supports irqfds but forgot to advertise them. Some userspace does not check for the capability, but others check it---thus they work on x86 and s390 but not POWER. To avoid that other architectures in the future make the same mistake, let common code handle KVM_CAP_IRQFD the same way as KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE.

Currently kvm_emulate() skips the instruction but kvm_emulate_* sometimes don't. The end reult is the caller ends up doing the skip themselves. Let's make them consistant.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling itself out via kvm_vcpu_block. This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host. In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal, or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache). The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in. With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU. Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around 1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU. The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll, that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU. While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second. Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark, instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick. The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and a smaller variance. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This patch adds new kvm_x86_ops dirty logging hooks to enable/disable dirty logging for particular memory slot, and to flush potentially logged dirty GPAs before reporting slot->dirty_bitmap to userspace. kvm x86 common code calls these hooks when they are available so PML logic can be hidden to VMX specific. SVM won't be impacted as these hooks remain NULL there.
