KVM: add "new" argument to kvm_arch_commit_memory_region

2015-05-28T08:42:58+00:00

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through
kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot.  It will simplify the code when more
than one address space will be supported.

Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted
away in two places.  Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot
pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures,
and is left for later.

KVM: const-ify uses of struct kvm_userspace_memory_region

2015-05-26T10:40:13+00:00

Architecture-specific helpers are not supposed to muck with
struct kvm_userspace_memory_region contents.  Add const to
enforce this.

In order to eliminate the only write in __kvm_set_memory_region,
the cleaning of deleted slots is pulled up from update_memslots
to __kvm_set_memory_region.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.

2015-04-21T13:21:29+00:00

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond.  The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.

PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG.  This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall.  This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.

Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability.  The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

powerpc: Cleanup KVM emulated load/store endian handling

2015-03-24T02:33:51+00:00

Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.

We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading.  In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts.  This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.

This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

KVM: remove unneeded return value of vcpu_postcreate

2015-01-23T12:24:52+00:00

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its
caller.  This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right
now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed.  But that is not
possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so
just get rid of the unchecked return value.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove code for PPC970 processors

2014-12-17T12:44:03+00:00

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors.  The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory.  Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.

Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.
