2008-12-15kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)aliguori
Currently on x86, qemu initializes CPUState but KVM ignores it and does its own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the initial register state to support the -kernel and -append options.

2008-12-09KVM: Coalesced MMIO supportaliguori
MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they involve, at least, privilege transitions. However, MMIO write operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side effects. Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar mode. As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too. Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

2008-12-09Disable KVM support if the kernel modules have broken memory slot handlingaliguori
Prior to kvm-80, memory slot deletion was broken in the KVM kernel modules. In kvm-81, a new capability is introduced to signify that this problem has been fixed. Since we rely on being able to delete memory slots, refuse to work with any kernel module that does not have this capability present.

2008-12-04Add virtio-balloon supportaliguori
This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon the memory when possible. Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the kernel actually supports it when using KVM. It's always safe when using TCG.

2008-11-24kvm: Introduce kvm logging interface (Glauber Costa)aliguori
Introduce functions to control logging of memory regions. We select regions based on its start address, a guest_physical_addr (target_phys_addr_t, in qemu nomenclature). The main user of this interface right now is VGA optimization (a way of reducing the number of mmio exits).

2008-11-19Make KVMSlot a real structurealiguori
struct kvm_userspace_memory_region does not use QEMU friendly types to define memory slots. This results in lots of ugly casting with warnings on 32-bit platforms. This patch introduces a proper KVMSlot structure that uses QEMU types to describe memory slots. This eliminates many of the casts and isolates the type conversions to one spot.

2008-11-19kvm: de-register mem region for MMIO (Glauber Costa)aliguori
Besides unassigned memory, we also don't care about MMIO. So if we're giving an MMIO area that is already registered, wipe it out.

2008-11-18Make KVM slot management more robustaliguori
KVM keeps track of physical memory based on slots in the kernel. The current code that translates QEMU memory mappings to slots work but is not robust in the fact of reregistering partial regions of memory. This patch does the right thing for reregistering partial regions of memory. It also prevents QEMU from using KVM private slots.

2008-11-13Define kvm_ioctl in the same way as ioctlaliguori
The third argument to ioctl is a ... which allows any value to be passed. In practice, glibc always treats the argument as a void *. Do the same thing for the kvm ioctls to keep things consistent with a traditional ioctl.

We don't need to use cpu_loop_exit() because we never use the condition codes so everything can be folded into a single case. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@5669 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
