kvm: remove one useless check extension

2015-06-17T08:46:28+00:00

We already check KVM_CAP_IRQFD in generic once enable CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension_generic() | + switch (arg) { + ... + #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD + case KVM_CAP_IRQFD: + #endif + ... + return 1; + ... + } | + kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() So its not necessary to check this in arch again, and also fix one typo, s/emlation/emulation.

KVM: implement multiple address spaces

2015-06-05T15:26:35+00:00

Only two ioctls have to be modified; the address space id is placed in the higher 16 bits of their slot id argument. As of this patch, no architecture defines more than one address space; x86 will be the first. Reviewed-by: Radim Krčmář Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: API changes for SMM support

2015-06-04T14:01:11+00:00

This patch includes changes to the external API for SMM support. Userspace can predicate the availability of the new fields and ioctls on a new capability, KVM_CAP_X86_SMM, which is added at the end of the patch series. Reviewed-by: Radim Krčmář Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: Support for disabling quirks

2015-05-07T09:29:42+00:00

Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled: 1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot 2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would therefore be disabled by QEMU.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.

2015-04-21T13:21:29+00:00

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator. This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency oscillators and are almost completely entropic. PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one 64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for all the threads in the same virtual core. Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

KVM: s390: migrate vcpu interrupt state

2015-03-31T19:07:31+00:00

This patch adds support to migrate vcpu interrupts. Two new vcpu ioctls are added which get/set the complete status of pending interrupts in one go. The ioctls are marked as available with the new capability KVM_CAP_S390_IRQ_STATE. We can not use a ONEREG, as the number of pending local interrupts is not constant and depends on the number of CPUs. To retrieve the interrupt state we add an ioctl KVM_S390_GET_IRQ_STATE. Its input parameter is a pointer to a struct kvm_s390_irq_state which has a buffer and length. For all currently pending interrupts, we copy a struct kvm_s390_irq into the buffer and pass it to userspace. To store interrupt state into a buffer provided by userspace, we add an ioctl KVM_S390_SET_IRQ_STATE. It passes a struct kvm_s390_irq_state into the kernel and injects all interrupts contained in the buffer. Signed-off-by: Jens Freimann Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Acked-by: Cornelia Huck

MIPS: KVM: Wire up MSA capability

2015-03-27T21:25:22+00:00

Now that the code is in place for KVM to support MIPS SIMD Architecutre (MSA) in MIPS guests, wire up the new KVM_CAP_MIPS_MSA capability. For backwards compatibility, the capability must be explicitly enabled in order to detect or make use of MSA from the guest. The capability is not supported if the hardware supports MSA vector partitioning, since the extra support cannot be tested yet and it extends the state that the userland program would have to save.
