thp: mmu_notifier_test_young

2011-01-14T01:32:46Z

For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires gup-fast to set the referenced bit). qemu-kvm access already sets the young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in use... We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the primary pte. Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even a single subpage in use. ->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like EPT does. Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

thp: kvm mmu transparent hugepage support

KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot

2011-01-12T09:30:18Z

Since vmx blocks INIT signals, we disable virtualization extensions during reboot. This leads to virtualization instructions faulting; we trap these faults and spin while the reboot continues. Unfortunately spinning on a non-preemptible kernel may block a task that reboot depends on; this causes the reboot to hang. Fix by skipping over the instruction and hoping for the best.

KVM: MMU: delay flush all tlbs on sync_page path

2011-01-12T09:29:51Z

Quote from Avi: | I don't think we need to flush immediately; set a "tlb dirty" bit somewhere | that is cleareded when we flush the tlb. kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() | can consult the bit and force a flush if set. Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

KVM: fast-path msi injection with irqfd

2011-01-12T09:29:38Z

Store irq routing table pointer in the irqfd object, and use that to inject MSI directly without bouncing out to a kernel thread. While we touch this structure, rearrange irqfd fields to make fastpath better packed for better cache utilization. This also adds some comments about locking rules and rcu usage in code. Some notes on the design: - Use pointer into the rt instead of copying an entry, to make it possible to use rcu, thus side-stepping locking complexities. We also save some memory this way. - Old workqueue code is still used for level irqs. I don't think we DTRT with level anyway, however, it seems easier to keep the code around as it has been thought through and debugged, and fix level later than rip out and re-instate it later.

KVM: rename hardware_[dis|en]able() to *_nolock() and add locking wrappers

2011-01-12T09:29:29Z

The naming convension of hardware_[dis|en]able family is little bit confusing because only hardware_[dis|en]able_all are using _nolock suffix. Renaming current hardware_[dis|en]able() to *_nolock() and using hardware_[dis|en]able() as wrapper functions which take kvm_lock for them reduces extra confusion.

KVM: take kvm_lock for hardware_disable() during cpu hotplug

2011-01-12T09:29:28Z

In kvm_cpu_hotplug(), only CPU_STARTING case is protected by kvm_lock. This patch adds missing protection for CPU_DYING case. Signed-off-by: Takuya Yoshikawa Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

KVM: Clean up kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device

2011-01-12T09:29:24Z

Any arch not supporting device assigment will also not build assigned-dev.c. So testing for KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT is pointless. KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ is unconditinally set. Moreover, add a default case for dispatching the ioctl. Acked-by: Alex Williamson Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

KVM: Save/restore state of assigned PCI device

2011-01-12T09:29:22Z

The guest may change states that pci_reset_function does not touch. So we better save/restore the assigned device across guest usage. Acked-by: Alex Williamson Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti
