kvm: convert kvm.users_count from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-03-01T16:03:21+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

KVM: Support vCPU-based gfn->hva cache

2017-02-16T17:42:46+00:00

Provide versions of struct gfn_to_hva_cache functions that
take vcpu as a parameter instead of struct kvm.  The existing functions
are not needed anymore, so delete them.  This allows dirty pages to
be logged in the vcpu dirty ring, instead of the global dirty ring,
for ring-based dirty memory tracking.

KVM_MEMSLOT_INCOHERENT is not used anymore, as we've killed its
only use in the arm/arm64 MMU code. Let's remove the last artifacts.

  PPC:
   - support for KVM guests on POWER9
   - improved support for interrupt polling
   - optimizations and cleanups.

  s390:
   - two small optimizations, more stuff is in flight and will be in
     4.11.

  ARM:
   - support for the GICv3 ITS on 32bit platforms"

KVM: Export kvm module parameter variables

2016-11-28T00:48:47+00:00

The kvm module has the parameters halt_poll_ns, halt_poll_ns_grow, and
halt_poll_ns_shrink. Halt polling was recently added to the powerpc kvm-hv
module and these parameters were essentially duplicated for that. There is
no benefit to this duplication and it can lead to confusion when trying to
tune halt polling.

Thus move the definition of these variables to kvm_host.h and export them.
This will allow the kvm-hv module to use the same module parameters by
accessing these variables, which will be implemented in the next patch,
meaning that they will no longer be duplicated.

Change unimplemented msrs messages to use pr_debug.
If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set, then these messages can be
enabled at run time or else -DDEBUG can be used at compile
time to enable them. These messages will still be printed if
ignore_msrs=1.

It allows us to update some status or field of a structure partially.

We can also save a kvm_read_guest_cached() call if we just update one
fild of the struct regardless of its current value.
