[IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237)

2014-04-16T17:20:34+00:00

April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html

describes this erratum:

=========================================================================
237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly

Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.

Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.

Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.

Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================

[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]

The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.

Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70d87d7f56db5ff17e2253f3fa90e4f3
  [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.

We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).

kvm: x86: ignore ioapic polarity

2014-03-13T10:58:21+00:00

Both QEMU and KVM have already accumulated a significant number of
optimizations based on the hard-coded assumption that ioapic polarity
will always use the ActiveHigh convention, where the logical and
physical states of level-triggered irq lines always match (i.e.,
active(asserted) == high == 1, inactive == low == 0). QEMU guests
are expected to follow directions given via ACPI and configure the
ioapic with polarity 0 (ActiveHigh). However, even when misbehaving
guests (e.g. OS X <= 10.9) set the ioapic polarity to 1 (ActiveLow),
QEMU will still use the ActiveHigh signaling convention when
interfacing with KVM.

This patch modifies KVM to completely ignore ioapic polarity as set by
the guest OS, enabling misbehaving guests to work alongside those which
comply with the ActiveHigh polarity specified by QEMU's ACPI tables.

KVM: Use cond_resched() directly and remove useless kvm_resched()

2013-12-13T13:23:45+00:00

Since the commit 15ad7146 ("KVM: Use the scheduler preemption notifiers
to make kvm preemptible"), the remaining stuff in this function is a
simple cond_resched() call with an extra need_resched() check which was
there to avoid dropping VCPUs unnecessarily.  Now it is meaningless.

KVM: Introduce kvm_arch_memslots_updated()

2013-07-18T10:29:25+00:00

This is called right after the memslots is updated, i.e. when the result
of update_memslots() gets installed in install_new_memslots().  Since
the memslots needs to be updated twice when we delete or move a memslot,
kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() does not correspond to this exactly.

In the following patch, x86 will use this new API to check if the mmio
generation has reached its maximum value, in which case mmio sptes need
to be flushed out.

KVM: get rid of $(addprefix ../../../virt/kvm/, ...) in Makefiles

2013-05-19T12:14:00+00:00

As requested by the KVM maintainers, remove the addprefix used to
refer to the main KVM code from the arch code, and replace it with
a KVM variable that does the same thing.

kvm: Allow build-time configuration of KVM device assignment

2013-04-28T09:58:56+00:00

We hope to at some point deprecate KVM legacy device assignment in
favor of VFIO-based assignment.  Towards that end, allow legacy
device assignment to be deconfigured.
