This patch based on CR8/TPR patch, and enable the TPR shadow (FlexPriority) for 32bit Windows. Since TPR is accessed very frequently by 32bit Windows, especially SMP guest, with FlexPriority enabled, we saw significant performance gain.

This patch splits kvm_vm_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c. The patch is unchanged since last submission. Common ioctls for all architectures are: KVM_CREATE_VCPU, KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION x86 specific ioctls are: KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION, KVM_GET/SET_NR_MMU_PAGES, KVM_SET_MEMORY_ALIAS, KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, KVM_CREATE_IRQ_LINE, KVM_GET/SET_IRQCHIP KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR Signed-off-by: NCarsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: NHollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Currently kvm has a wart in that it requires three extra pages for use as a tss when emulating real mode on Intel. This patch moves the allocation internally, only requiring userspace to tell us where in the physical address space we can place the tss.

Reserve a few memory slots for kernel internal use. This is good for case you have to register memory region and you want to be sure it was not registered from userspace, and for case you want to register a memory region that won't be seen from userspace.

Allocate a userspace buffer for older userspaces. Also eliminate phys_mem buffer. The memset() in kvmctl really kills initial memory usage but swapping works even with old userspaces.

ppc and s390 offer the possibility to track process times precisely by looking at cpu timer on every context switch, irq, softirq etc. We can use that infrastructure as well for guest time accounting. We need to account the used time before we change the state. This patch adds a call to account_system_vtime to kvm_guest_enter and kvm_guest exit. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not set, account_system_vtime is defined in hardirq.h as an empty function, which means this patch does not change the behaviour on other platforms. I compile tested this patch on x86 and function tested the patch on s390. Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.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.

This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c. Common ioctls for all architectures are: KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT, KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day. x86 specific ioctls are: KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

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>

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>

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm. It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without going through userspace.
