KVM: s390: implement the RI support of guest

2016-01-07T13:48:26+00:00

This patch adds runtime instrumentation support for KVM guest. We need to setup a save area for the runtime instrumentation-controls control block(RICCB) and implement the necessary interfaces to live migrate the guest settings. We setup the sie control block in a way, that the runtime instrumentation instructions of a guest are handled by hardware. We also add a capability KVM_CAP_S390_RI to make this feature opt-in as it needs migration support. Signed-off-by: Fan Zhang Acked-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

kvm/x86: Hyper-V kvm exit

2015-11-25T16:24:22+00:00

A new vcpu exit is introduced to notify the userspace of the changes in Hyper-V SynIC configuration triggered by guest writing to the corresponding MSRs. Changes v4: * exit into userspace only if guest writes into SynIC MSR's Changes v3: * added KVM_EXIT_HYPERV types and structs notes into docs Signed-off-by: Andrey Smetanin Reviewed-by: Roman Kagan Signed-off-by: Denis V.

kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller

2015-11-25T16:24:22+00:00

SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension, which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI semantics - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message slots - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT event flag areas The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area. The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM) MSR. The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT mapping. Changes v4: * added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP * added per SynIC active flag * added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation Changes v3: * added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into docs Changes v2: * do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors * add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap * Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified Signed-off-by: Andrey Smetanin Reviewed-by: Roman Kagan Signed-off-by: Denis V.

KVM: x86: Add KVM exit for IOAPIC EOIs

2015-10-01T13:06:27+00:00

Adds KVM_EXIT_IOAPIC_EOI which allows the kernel to EOI level-triggered IOAPIC interrupts. Uses a per VCPU exit bitmap to decide whether or not the IOAPIC needs to be informed (which is identical to the EOI_EXIT_BITMAP field used by modern x86 processors, but can also be used to elide kvm IOAPIC EOI exits on older processors). [Note: A prototype using ResampleFDs found that decoupling the EOI from the VCPU's thread made it possible for the VCPU to not see a recent EOI after reentering the guest. This does not match real hardware.] Compile tested for Intel x86. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: Split the APIC from the rest of IRQCHIP.

2015-10-01T13:06:26+00:00

First patch in a series which enables the relocation of the PIC/IOAPIC to userspace. Adds capability KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP; KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP enables the construction of LAPICs without the rest of the irqchip. Compile tested for x86.

KVM: s390: more irq names for trace events

2015-07-29T09:02:34+00:00

This patch adds names for missing irq types to the trace events. In order to identify adapter irqs, the define is moved from interrupt.c to the other basic irq defines in uapi/linux/kvm.h. Acked-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

kvm/x86: add sending hyper-v crash notification to user space

2015-07-23T06:27:06+00:00

Sending of notification is done by exiting vcpu to user space if KVM_REQ_HV_CRASH is enabled for vcpu. At exit to user space the kvm_run structure contains system_event with type KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_CRASH to notify about guest crash occurred. Signed-off-by: Andrey Smetanin Signed-off-by: Denis V.

KVM: arm64: guest debug, HW assisted debug support

2015-07-21T11:50:43+00:00

This adds support for userspace to control the HW debug registers for guest debug. In the debug ioctl we copy an IMPDEF registers into a new register set called host_debug_state. We use the recently introduced vcpu parameter debug_ptr to select which register set is copied into the real registers when world switch occurs. I've made some helper functions from hw_breakpoint.c more widely available for re-use. As with single step we need to tweak the guest registers to enable the exceptions so we need to save and restore those bits. Two new capabilities have been added to the KVM_EXTENSION ioctl to allow userspace to query the number of hardware break and watch points available on the host hardware.
