2010-04-01S390: Tell user why VM creation failedAlexander Graf
The KVM kernel module on S390 refuses to create a VM when the switch_amode kernel parameter is not used. Since that is not exactly obvious, let's give the user a nice warning. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>
2010-04-01kvm: add API to set ioeventfdMichael S. Tsirkin
Comment on kvm usage: rather than require users to do if (kvm_enabled()) and/or ifdefs, this patch adds an API that, internally, is defined to stub function on non-kvm build, and checks kvm_enabled for non-kvm run. While rest of qemu code still uses if (kvm_enabled()), I think this approach is cleaner, and we should convert rest of code to it long term. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-03-04KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback APIJan Kiszka
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks: - cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete (initial sync from kernel before vmsave) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state (writeback after vmload) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init - cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset (writeback after system reset) These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback: - KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run) - KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped) - KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well) This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way, no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are eliminated. cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems. Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

2010-03-04KVM: Rework of guest debug state writingJan Kiszka
So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86 kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the guest. We furthermore need to reinject guest exceptions via the appropriate mechanism. That is KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG for older kernels and KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS for recent ones. Using both mechanisms at the same time will cause state corruptions. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2010-02-03kvm: Flush coalesced MMIO buffer periodlySheng Yang
The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until: 1. The buffer is full. 2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons. But this would result in a very late writing in some condition. 1. The each time write to MMIO content is small. 2. The writing interval is big. 3. No need for input or accessing other devices frequently. This issue was observed in a experimental embbed system. The test image simply print "test" every 1 seconds. The output in QEmu meets expectation, but the output in KVM is delayed for seconds. Per Avi's suggestion, I hooked flushing coalesced MMIO buffer in VGA update handler. By this way, We don't need vcpu explicit exit to QEmu to handle this issue. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2009-10-05temporary fix for on_vcpuGlauber Costa
Recent changes made on_vcpu hit the abort() path, even with the IO thread disabled. This is because cpu_single_env is no longer set when we call this function. Although the correct fix is a little bit more complicated that that, the recent thread in which I proposed qemu_queue_work (which fixes that, btw), is likely to go on a quite different direction. So for the benefit of those using guest debugging, I'm proposing this simple fix in the interim.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896, f40d753718c72693c5f520f0d9899f6e50395e94, 96555a96d724016e13190b28cffa3bc929ac60dc and 3990d09adf4463eca200ad964cc55643c33feb50 but the fixes were fragile.

2009-07-27Use Little Endian for Dirty LogAlexander Graf
We currently use host endian long types to store information in the dirty bitmap. This works reasonably well on Little Endian targets, because the u32 after the first contains the next 32 bits. On Big Endian this breaks completely though, forcing us to be inventive here. So Ben suggested to always use Little Endian, which looks reasonable. We only have dirty bitmap implemented in Little Endian targets so far and since PowerPC would be the first Big Endian platform, we can just as well switch to Little Endian always with little effort without breaking existing targets. This is the userspace part of the patch. It shouldn't change anything for existing targets, but help PowerPC. It replaces my older patch called "Use 64bit pointer for dirty log".

2009-07-27Use 64bit pointer for dirty logAlexander Graf
Dirty logs currently get written with native "long" size. On little endian it doesn't matter if we use uint64_t instead though, because we'd still end up using the right bytes. On big endian, this does become a bigger problem, so we need to ensure that kernel and userspace talk the same language, which means getting rid of "long" and using a defined size instead. So I decided to use 64 bit types at all times. This doesn't break existing targets but will in conjunction with a patch I'll send to the KVM ML make dirty logs work with 32 bit userspace on 64 kernel with big endian.

2009-07-22introduce on_vcpuGlauber Costa
on_vcpu is a qemu-kvm function that will make sure that a specific piece of code will run on a requested cpu. We don't need that because we're restricted to -smp 1 right now, but those days are likely to end soon. So for the benefit of having qemu-kvm share more code with us, I'm introducing our own version of on_vcpu(). Right now, we either run a function on the current cpu, or abort the execution, because it would mean something is seriously wrong. As an example code, I "ported" kvm_update_guest_debug to use it, with some slight differences from qemu-kvm.

2009-07-22Fake dirty loggin when it's not thereAlexander Graf
Some KVM platforms don't support dirty logging yet, like IA64 and PPC, so in order to still have screen updates on those, we need to fake it. This patch just tells the getter function for dirty bitmaps, that all pages within a slot are dirty when the slot has dirty logging enabled. That way we can implement dirty logging on those platforms sometime when it drags down performance, but share the rest of the code with dirty logging capable platforms.

2009-06-29kvm: Rework VCPU synchronizationJan Kiszka
During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the in-kernel KVM state. Namely, we need to transfer the VCPU registers when they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset. This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in main().

2009-06-16kvm: Fix IRQ injection into full queueJan Kiszka
User space may only inject interrupts during kvm_arch_pre_run if ready_for_interrupt_injection is set in kvm_run. But that field is updated on exit from KVM_RUN, so we must ensure that we enter the kernel after potentially queuing an interrupt, otherwise we risk to loose one - like it happens with the current code against latest kernel modules (since kvm-86) that started to queue only a single interrupt. Fix the problem by reordering kvm_cpu_exec. Credits go to Gleb Natapov for analyzing the issue in details.

This reworks the slot management to handle more patterns of cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so far address remapping on reset broke the slot management). We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM kernel bug in older versions would force us to track all previous fragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents registering larger slots that overlap also deleted ones).
