Changes for KVM for arm/arm64 for 3.18 This includes a bunch of changes: - Support read-only memory slots on arm/arm64 - Various changes to fix Sparse warnings - Correctly detect write vs. read Stage-2 faults - Various VGIC cleanups and fixes - Dynamic VGIC data strcuture sizing - Fix SGI set_clear_pend offset bug - Fix VTTBR_BADDR Mask - Correctly report the FSC on Stage-2 faults Conflicts: virt/kvm/eventfd.c [duplicate, different patch where the kvm-arm version broke x86. The kvm tree instead has the right one]

arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: make number of irqs a configurable attribute

2014-09-19T01:48:58Z

In order to make the number of interrupts configurable, use the new fancy device management API to add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS as a VGIC configurable attribute. Userspace can now specify the exact size of the GIC (by increments of 32 interrupts). Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: fix api documentation of KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID

2014-09-10T09:34:39Z

It looks like when this was initially merged it got accidentally included in the following section. I've just moved it back in the correct section and re-numbered it as other ioctls have been added since. Signed-off-by: Alex BennÃ©e Acked-by: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: document KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG api

2014-09-10T09:33:12Z

In preparation for working on the ARM implementation I noticed the debug interface was missing from the API document. I've pieced together the expected behaviour from the code and commit messages written it up as best I can. Signed-off-by: Alex BennÃ©e Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cache

2014-09-03T08:03:41Z

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | | ... | | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

KVM: clarify the idea of kvm_dirty_regs

2014-08-25T12:35:29Z

This patch clarifies that kvm_dirty_regs are just a hint to the kernel and that the kernel might just ignore some flags and sync the values (like done for acrs and gprs now). Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

KVM: PPC: Remove DCR handling

KVM: Allow KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the vm fd

2014-07-28T13:23:17Z

The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION is only available on the kvm fd today. Unfortunately on PPC some of the capabilities change depending on the way a VM was created. So instead we need a way to expose capabilities as VM ioctl, so that we can see which VM type we're using (HV or PR). To enable this, add the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to our vm ioctl portfolio.
