KVM: Move arch dependent files to new directory arch/x86/kvm/

2008-01-30T16:01:18Z

This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: wbinvd exiting

2008-01-30T15:53:01Z

Add wbinvd VM Exit support to prepare for pass-through device cache emulation and also enhance real time responsiveness. Signed-off-by: Yaozu (Eddie) Dong Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Comment VMX primary/secondary exec ctl definitions

2008-01-30T15:53:01Z

Add comments for secondary/primary Processor-Based VM-execution controls. Signed-off-by: Yaozu (Eddie) Dong Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Use vmx to inject real-mode interrupts

2008-01-30T15:53:00Z

Instead of injecting real-mode interrupts by writing the interrupt frame into guest memory, abuse vmx by injecting a software interrupt. We need to pretend the software interrupt instruction had a length > 0, so we have to adjust rip backward. This lets us not to mess with writing guest memory, which is complex and also sleeps.

KVM: VMX: Enable memory mapped TPR shadow (FlexPriority)

2008-01-30T15:52:58Z

This patch based on CR8/TPR patch, and enable the TPR shadow (FlexPriority) for 32bit Windows. Since TPR is accessed very frequently by 32bit Windows, especially SMP guest, with FlexPriority enabled, we saw significant performance gain. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Use shadow TPR/cr8 for 64-bits guests

2007-10-13T08:18:26Z

This patch enables TPR shadow of VMX on CR8 access. 64bit Windows using CR8 access TPR frequently. The TPR shadow can improve the performance of access TPR by not causing vmexit. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Yaozu (Eddie) Dong Signed-off-by: Qing He Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Remove a duplicated ia32e mode vm entry control

2007-10-13T08:18:23Z

Remove a duplicated ia32e mode VM Entry control definition and use the proper one. Signed-off-by: Xin Li Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Import some constants of vmcs from IA32 SDM

2007-10-13T08:18:19Z

This patch mainly imports some constants and rename two exist constants of vmcs according to IA32 SDM. It also adds two constants to indicate Lock bit and Enable bit in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL, and replace the hardcode _5_ with these two bits. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: Use standard CR4 flags, tighten checking

2007-10-13T08:18:18Z

On this machine (Intel), writing to the CR4 bits 0x00000800 and 0x00001000 cause a GPF. The Intel manual is a little unclear, but AFIACT they're reserved, too. Also fix spelling of CR4_RESEVED_BITS. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity
