2010-05-11Do not stop VM if emulation failed in userspace.Gleb Natapov
Continue vcpu execution in case emulation failure happened while vcpu was in userspace. In this case #UD will be injected into the guest allowing guest OS to kill offending process and continue. Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

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>

2010-02-22kvm: consume internal signal with sigtimedwaitMarcelo Tosatti
Change the way the internal qemu signal, used for communication between iothread and vcpus, is handled. Block and consume it with sigtimedwait on the outer vcpu loop, which allows more precise timing control. Change from standard signal (SIGUSR1) to real-time one, so multiple signals are not collapsed. Set the signal number on KVM's in-kernel allowed sigmask. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@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>

2009-09-12Fix sys-queue.h conflict for goodBlue Swirl
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. Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the file. Revert the previous hacks. Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>

2009-07-22provide tests for pit in kernel and irqchip in kernelGlauber Costa

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().

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.

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

2008-12-09KVM: 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.

This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon the memory when possible.
