KVM: arm/arm64: Enable the KVM-VFIO device

2015-06-17T08:46:29+00:00

The KVM-VFIO device is used by the QEMU VFIO device. It is used to record the list of in-use VFIO groups so that KVM can manipulate them. Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips Signed-off-by: Eric Auger Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: arm/arm64: add irqfd support

2015-03-12T14:15:34+00:00

This patch enables irqfd on arm/arm64. Both irqfd and resamplefd are supported. Injection is implemented in vgic.c without routing. This patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD. KVM_CAP_IRQFD is now advertised. KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE capability automatically is advertised as soon as CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD is set. Irqfd injection is restricted to SPI. The rationale behind not supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for irqfds. Signed-off-by: Eric Auger Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall Acked-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

KVM: arm/arm64: unset CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP

2015-03-12T14:15:32+00:00

CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP is needed to support IRQ routing (along with irq_comm.c and irqchip.c usage). This is not the case for arm/arm64 currently. This patch unsets the flag for both arm and arm64.

arm/arm64: KVM: Kill CONFIG_KVM_ARM_{VGIC,TIMER}

2015-03-12T14:15:27+00:00

We can definitely decide at run-time whether to use the GIC and timers or not, and the extra code and data structures that we allocate space for is really negligable with this config option, so I don't think it's worth the extra complexity of always having to define stub static inlines. The !CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC/TIMER case is pretty much an untested code path anyway, so we're better off just getting rid of it. Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall Acked-by: Marc Zyngier

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features. Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. Powerpc: Nothing yet. The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers, because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being offline for some part of next week" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (130 commits) KVM: ia64: drop kvm.h from installed user headers KVM: x86: fix build with !CONFIG_SMP KVM: x86: emulate: correct page fault error code for NoWrite instructions KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390 KVM: s390: add cpu model support KVM: s390: use facilities and cpu_id per KVM KVM: s390/CPACF: Choose crypto control block format s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID KVM: s390: reenable LPP facility KVM: s390: floating irqs: fix user triggerable endless loop kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter kvm: remove KVM_MMIO_SIZE KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest KVM: MIPS: Disable HTW while in guest KVM: nVMX: Enable nested posted interrupt processing KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtual interrupt delivery KVM: nVMX: Enable nested apic register virtualization KVM: nVMX: Make nested control MSRs per-cpu KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtualize x2apic mode KVM: nVMX: Prepare for using hardware MSR bitmap ...

rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU

2015-01-06T19:04:29+00:00

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable. The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making use of SRCU are selected. If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. text data bss dec hex filename 2007 0 0 2007 7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o Size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from text data bss dec hex filename 831552 64180 23944 919676 e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before 829504 64180 23952 917636 e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.
