2008-12-31KVM: Really remove a slot when a user ask us soGlauber Costa1-1/+4
Right now, KVM does not remove a slot when we do a register ioctl for size 0 (would be the expected behaviour). Instead, we only mark it as empty, but keep all bitmaps and allocated data structures present. It completely nullifies our chances of reusing that same slot again for mapping a different piece of memory. In this patch, we destroy rmaps, and vfree() the pointers that used to hold the dirty bitmap, rmap and lpage_info structures.

2008-12-31KVM: ppc: mostly cosmetic updates to the exit timing accounting codeHollis Blanchard5-91/+66
The only significant changes were to kvmppc_exit_timing_write() and kvmppc_exit_timing_show(), both of which were dramatically simplified. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2008-12-31KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statisticsHollis Blanchard13-18/+516
Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).

2008-12-31KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switchHollis Blanchard3-5/+66
Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch (instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on 440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2008-12-31KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLBHollis Blanchard8-221/+168
Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry. Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits, at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some guest entries. These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the need to walk arrays in software). In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

2008-12-31powerpc/44x: declare tlb_44x_index for use in C codeHollis Blanchard1-0/+1
KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement, since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit. Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index. (KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)

2008-12-31KVM: ppc: support large host pagesHollis Blanchard3-23/+64
KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings.

2008-12-31KVM: make kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier() safeMark McLoughlin1-3/+1
We never pass a NULL notifier pointer here, but we may well pass a notifier struct which hasn't previously been registered. Guard against this by using hlist_del_init() which will not do anything if the node hasn't been added to the list and, when removing the node, will ensure that a subsequent call to hlist_del_init() will be fine too. Fixes an oops seen when an assigned device is freed before and IRQ is assigned to it. Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2008-12-31KVM: remove the IRQ ACK notifier assertionsMark McLoughlin1-3/+0
We will obviously never pass a NULL struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier* to this functions. They are always embedded in the assigned device structure, so the assertion add nothing. The irqchip_in_kernel() assertion is very out of place - clearly this little abstraction needs to know nothing about the upper layer details.

2008-12-31KVM: MMU: optimize set_spte for page syncMarcelo Tosatti1-0/+9
The write protect verification in set_spte is unnecessary for page sync. Its guaranteed that, if the unsync spte was writable, the target page does not have a write protected shadow (if it had, the spte would have been write protected under mmu_lock by rmap_write_protect before). Same reasoning applies to mark_page_dirty: the gfn has been marked as dirty via the pagefault path. The cost of hash table and memslot lookups are quite significant if the workload is pagetable write intensive resulting in increased mmu_lock contention.

2008-12-31KVM: MSI to INTx translateSheng Yang1-16/+54
Now we use MSI as default one, and translate MSI to INTx when guest need INTx rather than MSI. For legacy device, we provide support for non-sharing host IRQ. Provide a parameter msi2intx for this method. The value is true by default in x86 architecture. We can't guarantee this mode can work on every device, but for most of us tested, it works. If your device encounter some trouble with this mode, you can try set msi2intx modules parameter to 0. If the device is OK with msi2intx=0, then please report it to KVM mailing list or me. We may prepare a blacklist for the device that can't work in this mode. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2008-12-31x86: disable VMX on all CPUs on rebootEduardo Habkost1-2/+60
On emergency_restart, we may need to use an NMI to disable virtualization on all CPUs. We do that using nmi_shootdown_cpus() if VMX is enabled. Note: With this patch, we will run the NMI stuff only when the CPU where emergency_restart() was called has VMX enabled. This should work on most cases because KVM enables VMX on all CPUs, but we may miss the small window where KVM is doing that. Also, I don't know if all code using VMX out there always enable VMX on all CPUs like KVM does. We have two other alternatives for that: a) Have an API that all code that enables VMX on any CPU should use to tell the kernel core that it is going to enable VMX on the CPUs. b) Always call nmi_shootdown_cpus() if the CPU supports VMX. This is a bit intrusive and more risky, as it would run nmi_shootdown_cpus() on emergency_reboot() even on systems where virtualization is never enabled. Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly. The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.
