If the RFLAGS.RF is set, then no #DB should occur on instruction breakpoints. However, the KVM emulator injects #DB regardless to RFLAGS.RF. This patch fixes this behavior. KVM, however, still appears not to update RFLAGS.RF correctly, regardless of this patch. Signed-off-by: NNadav Amit <namit@cs.technion.ac.il> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

RFLAGS.RF was cleaned in several functions (e.g., syscall) in the x86 emulator. Now that we clear it before the execution of an instruction in the emulator, we can remove the specific cleanup of RFLAGS.RF.

When an instruction is emulated RFLAGS.RF should be cleared. KVM previously did not do so. This patch clears RFLAGS.RF after interception is done. If a fault occurs during the instruction, RFLAGS.RF will be set by a previous patch. This patch does not handle the case of traps/interrupts during rep-strings. Traps are only expected to occur on debug watchpoints, and those are anyhow not handled by the emulator.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next This series enables the "KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE" ioctls on s390 to make the cpu state settable by user space. This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and offlining on cpus.) As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way. Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.

This patch fix bug reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73331, after the patch http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg105230.html applied, there is some progress and the L2 can boot up, however, slowly. The original idea of this fix vid injection patch is from "Zhang, Yang Z" <yang.z.zhang@intel.com>. Interrupt which delivered by vid should be injected to L1 by L0 if current is in L1, or should be injected to L2 by L0 through the old injection way if L1 doesn't have set External-interrupt exiting bit. The current logic doen't consider these cases. This patch fix it by vid intr to L1 if current is L1 or L2 through old injection way if L1 doen't have External-interrupt exiting bit set.

Certain instructions (e.g., mwait and monitor) cause a #UD exception when they are executed in user mode. This is in contrast to the regular privileged instructions which cause #GP. In order not to mess with SVM interception of mwait and monitor which assumes privilege level assertions take place before interception, a flag has been added.

Emulator accesses are always done a page at a time, either by the emulator itself (for fetches) or because we need to query the MMU for address translations. Speed up these accesses by using kvm_read_guest_page and, in the case of fetches, by inlining kvm_read_guest_virt_helper and dropping the loop around kvm_read_guest_page. This final tweak saves 30-100 more clock cycles (4-10%), bringing the count (as measured by kvm-unit-tests) down to 720-1100 clock cycles on a Sandy Bridge Xeon host, compared to 2300-3200 before the whole series and 925-1700 after the first two low-hanging fruit changes.

When the CS base is not page-aligned, the linear address of the code could get close to the page boundary (e.g. 0x...ffe) even if the EIP value is not. So we need to first linearize the address, and only then compute the number of valid bytes that can be fetched. This happens relatively often when executing real mode code.

We do not need a memory copying loop anymore in insn_fetch; we can use a byte-aligned pointer to access instruction fields directly from the fetch_cache.

do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn. This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop. It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long anyway, but it prepares for the next patch. The overflow check is tricky, but correct. Because do_insn_fetch_bytes has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15. So it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

rip_relative is only set if decode_modrm runs, and if you have ModRM you will also have a memopp. We can then access memopp unconditionally. Note that rip_relative cannot be hoisted up to decode_modrm, or you break "mov $0, xyz(%rip)". Also, move typecast on "out of range value" of mem.ea to decode_modrm. Together, all these optimizations save about 50 cycles on each emulated instructions (4-6%).

We can just blindly move all 16 bytes of ctxt->src's value to ctxt->dst. write_register_operand will take care of writing only the lower bytes. Avoiding a call to memcpy (the compiler optimizes it out) gains about 200 cycles on kvm-unit-tests for register-to-register moves, and makes them about as fast as arithmetic instructions. We could perhaps get a larger speedup by moving all instructions _except_ moves out of x86_emulate_insn, removing opcode_len, and replacing the switch statement with an inlined em_mov.

There are several checks for "peculiar" aspects of instructions in both x86_decode_insn and x86_emulate_insn. Group them together, and guard them with a single "if" that lets the processor quickly skip them all. Make this more effective by adding two more flag bits that say whether the .intercept and .check_perm fields are valid. We will reuse these flags later to avoid initializing fields of the emulate_ctxt struct. This skims about 30 cycles for each emulated instructions, which is approximately a 3% improvement.

Despite the provisions to emulate up to 130 consecutive instructions, in practice KVM will emulate just one before exiting handle_invalid_guest_state, because x86_emulate_instruction always sets KVM_REQ_EVENT. However, we only need to do this if an interrupt could be injected, which happens a) if an interrupt shadow bit (STI or MOV SS) has gone away; b) if the interrupt flag has just been set (other instructions than STI can set it without enabling an interrupt shadow). This cuts another 700-900 cycles from the cost of emulating an instruction (measured on a Sandy Bridge Xeon: 1650-2600 cycles before the patch on kvm-unit-tests, 925-1700 afterwards).

For the next patch we will need to know the full state of the interrupt shadow; we will then set KVM_REQ_EVENT when one bit is cleared. However, right now get_interrupt_shadow only returns the one corresponding to the emulated instruction, or an unconditional 0 if the emulated instruction does not have an interrupt shadow. This is confusing and does not allow us to check for cleared bits as mentioned above. Clean the callback up, and modify toggle_interruptibility to match the comment above the call. As a small result, the call to set_interrupt_shadow will be skipped in the common case where int_shadow == 0 && mask == 0. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

About 25% of the time spent in emulation of invalid guest state is wasted in checking whether emulation is required for the next instruction. However, this almost never changes except when a segment register (or TR or LDTR) changes, or when there is a mode transition (i.e. CR0 changes). In fact, vmx_set_segment and vmx_set_cr0 already modify vmx->emulation_required (except that the former for some reason uses |= instead of just an assignment). So there is no need to call guest_state_valid in the emulation loop. Emulation performance test results indicate 1650-2600 cycles for common instructions, versus 2300-3200 before this patch on a Sandy Bridge Xeon. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Since commit 575203 the MCE subsystem in the Linux kernel for AMD sets bit 18 in MSR_K7_HWCR.

We encountered a scenario in which after an INIT is delivered, a pending interrupt is delivered, although it was sent before the INIT. As the SDM states in section 10.4.7.1, the ISR and the IRR should be cleared after INIT as KVM does. This also means that pending interrupts should be cleared. This patch clears upon reset (and INIT) the pending interrupts; and at the same occassion clears the pending exceptions, since they may cause a similar issue.

We have noticed that qemu-kvm hangs early in the BIOS when runnning nested under some versions of VMware ESXi. The problem we believe is because KVM assumes that the platform preserves the 'G' but for any segment register. The SVM specification itemizes the segment attribute bits that are observed by the CPU, but the (G)ranularity bit is not one of the bits itemized, for any segment. Though current AMD CPUs keep track of the (G)ranularity bit for all segment registers other than CS, the specification does not require it. VMware's virtual CPU may not track the (G)ranularity bit for any segment register. Since kvm already synthesizes the (G)ranularity bit for the CS segment. It should do so for all segments. The patch below does that, and helps get rid of the hangs. Patch applies on top of Linus' tree.

A SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) order is complete as soon as the VCPU has been stopped. This patch makes sure that only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) may be pending at a time (as defined by the architecture). If the action_bits are still set, a SIGP STOP has been issued but not completed yet. The VCPU is busy for further SIGP STOP orders. Also set the CPUSTAT_STOP_INT after the action_bits variable has been modified (the same order that is used when injecting a KVM_S390_SIGP_STOP from userspace). Both changes are needed in preparation for a user space driven VCPU state change (to avoid race conditions).
