KVM: x86: add SMM to the MMU role, support SMRAM address space

2015-06-05T15:26:37Z

This is now very simple to do. The only interesting part is a simple trick to find the right memslot in gfn_to_rmap, retrieving the address space from the spte role word. The same trick is used in the auditing code. The comment on top of union kvm_mmu_page_role has been stale forever, so remove it. Speaking of stale code, remove pad_for_nice_hex_output too: it was splitting the "access" bitfield across two bytes and thus had effectively turned into pad_for_ugly_hex_output.

KVM: implement multiple address spaces

2015-06-05T15:26:35Z

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

2015-06-04T14:01:11Z

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: MMU: fix SMAP virtualization

2015-05-19T18:52:36Z

KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu once CR4.SMAP is updated Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86: Support for disabling quirks

2015-05-07T09:29:42Z

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.

2015-04-21T13:21:29Z

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

2015-03-31T19:07:31Z

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
