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().

2009-05-22kvm: x86: Save/restore KVM-specific CPU statesJan Kiszka
Save and restore all so far neglected KVM-specific CPU states. Handling the TSC stabilizes migration in KVM mode. The interrupt_bitmap and mp_state are currently unused, but will become relevant for in-kernel irqchip support. By including proper saving/restoring already, we avoid having to increment CPU_SAVE_VERSION later on once again. v2: - initialize mp_state runnable (for the boot CPU) Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-05-22kvm: Rework dirty bitmap synchronizationJan Kiszka
Extend kvm_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap() so that is can sync across multiple slots. Useful for updating the whole dirty log during migration. Moreover, properly pass down errors the whole call chain.

2009-05-22kvm: Introduce kvm_set_migration_logJan Kiszka
Introduce a global dirty logging flag that enforces logging for all slots. This can be used by the live migration code to enable/disable global logging withouth destroying the per-slot setting. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-05-01kvm: Avoid COW if KVM MMU is asynchronousJan Kiszka
Avi Kivity wrote: > Suggest wrapping in a function and hiding it deep inside kvm-all.c. > Done in v2: ----------> If the KVM MMU is asynchronous (kernel does not support MMU_NOTIFIER), we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

2009-04-17kvm: Add sanity checks to slot management (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot. Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent memory regions by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several inconsistencies in the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series. And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

2009-03-12Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff. So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon. Core features are: - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints Changes in this version: - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between user space and kvm - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6825 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
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.

2008-12-04Add 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).

2008-11-13Define 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.
