KVM: Fix simultaneous NMIs

2011-09-25T16:52:59+00:00

If simultaneous NMIs happen, we're supposed to queue the second
and next (collapsing them), but currently we sometimes collapse
the second into the first.

Fix by using a counter for pending NMIs instead of a bool; since
the counter limit depends on whether the processor is currently
in an NMI handler, which can only be checked in vcpu context
(via the NMI mask), we add a new KVM_REQ_NMI to request recalculation
of the counter.

KVM: Clean up and extend rate-limited output

2011-09-25T16:52:43+00:00

The use of printk_ratelimit is discouraged, replace it with
pr*_ratelimited or __ratelimit. While at it, convert remaining
guest-triggerable printks to rate-limited variants.

KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O bus

2011-09-25T16:17:59+00:00

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.

Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.

Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

KVM: Make coalesced mmio use a device per zone

2011-09-25T16:17:57+00:00

This patch changes coalesced mmio to create one mmio device per
zone instead of handling all zones in one device.

Doing so enables us to take advantage of existing locking and prevents
a race condition between coalesced mmio registration/unregistration
and lookups.

KVM: MMU: filter out the mmio pfn from the fault pfn

2011-07-24T08:50:34+00:00

If the page fault is caused by mmio, the gfn can not be found in memslots, and
'bad_pfn' is returned on gfn_to_hva path, so we can use 'bad_pfn' to identify
the mmio page fault.
And, to clarify the meaning of mmio pfn, we return fault page instead of bad
page when the gfn is not allowd to prefetch

KVM: Steal time implementation

2011-07-14T09:59:14+00:00

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.

This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.

Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time

This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

KVM: make guest mode entry to be rcu quiescent state

2011-05-22T12:48:09+00:00

KVM does not hold any references to rcu protected data when it switches
CPU into a guest mode. In fact switching to a guest mode is very similar
to exiting to userspase from rcu point of view. In addition CPU may stay
in a guest mode for quite a long time (up to one time slice). Lets treat
guest mode as quiescent state, just like we do with user-mode execution.

KVM: Use pci_store/load_saved_state() around VM device usage

2011-05-21T19:17:10+00:00

Store the device saved state so that we can reload the device back
to the original state when it's unassigned.  This has the benefit
that the state survives across pci_reset_function() calls via
the PCI sysfs reset interface while the VM is using the device.
