2010-10-20MCE: Relay UCR MCE to guestMarcelo Tosatti
Port qemu-kvm's commit 4b62fff1101a7ad77553147717a8bd3bf79df7ef Author: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Date: Mon Sep 21 10:43:25 2009 +0800 MCE: Relay UCR MCE to guest UCR (uncorrected recovery) MCE is supported in recent Intel CPUs, where some hardware error such as some memory error can be reported without PCC (processor context corrupted). To recover from such MCE, the corresponding memory will be unmapped, and all processes accessing the memory will be killed via SIGBUS. For KVM, if QEMU/KVM is killed, all guest processes will be killed too. So we relay SIGBUS from host OS to guest system via a UCR MCE injection. Then guest OS can isolate corresponding memory and kill necessary guest processes only. SIGBUS sent to main thread (not VCPU threads) will be broadcast to all VCPU threads as UCR MCE. aliguori: fix build Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2010-10-20kvm: x86: add mce supportMarcelo Tosatti
Port qemu-kvm's MCE support commit c68b2374c9048812f488e00ffb95db66c0bc07a7 Author: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Date: Mon Jul 20 10:00:53 2009 +0800 Add MCE simulation support to qemu/kvm KVM ioctls are used to initialize MCE simulation and inject MCE. The real MCE simulation is implemented in Linux kernel. The Kernel part has been merged. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
