Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-3.19-take2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD

2014-12-15T12:06:40Z

Second round of changes for KVM for arm/arm64 for v3.19; fixes reboot problems, clarifies VCPU init, and fixes a regression concerning the VGIC init flow. Conflicts: arch/ia64/kvm/kvm-ia64.c [deleted in HEAD and modified in kvmarm]

arm/arm64: KVM: Turn off vcpus on PSCI shutdown/reboot

2014-12-13T13:15:27Z

When a vcpu calls SYSTEM_OFF or SYSTEM_RESET with PSCI v0.2, the vcpus should really be turned off for the VM adhering to the suggestions in the PSCI spec, and it's the sane thing to do. Also, clarify the behavior and expectations for exits to user space with the KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT case. Acked-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

arm/arm64: KVM: Clarify KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ABI

2014-12-13T13:15:26Z

It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given vcpu. Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI. Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as the initial call (which userspace also already does). Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future, and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

arm/arm64: KVM: Correct KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT power off option

2014-12-13T13:15:25Z

The implementation of KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT is currently not doing what userspace expects, namely making sure that a vcpu which may have been turned off using PSCI is returned to its initial state, which would be powered on if userspace does not set the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF flag. Implement the expected functionality and clarify the ABI. Acked-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

kvm: drop unsupported capabilities, fix documentation

2014-11-03T11:07:29Z

No kernel ever reported KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT. This makes the documentation wrong, and no application ever written to use these capabilities has a chance to work correctly. The only way to detect support is to try, and test errno for ENOTTY. That's unfortunate, but we can't fix the past. Document the actual semantics, and drop the definitions from the exported header to make it easier for application developers to note and fix the bug.

Documentation: virtual: kvm: correct one bit description in APF case

2014-11-03T11:07:27Z

When commit 6adba5274206 (KVM: Let host know whether the guest can handle async PF in non-userspace context.) is introduced, actually bit 2 still is reserved and should be zero. Instead, bit 1 is 1 to indicate if asynchronous page faults can be injected when vcpu is in cpl == 0, and also please see this, in the file kvm_para.h, #define KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS (1 << 1).
