kvm: remove IA64 ioctls

2014-11-21T17:07:33+00:00

KVM ia64 is no longer present so new applications shouldn't use them.
The main problem is that they most likely didn't work even before,
because of a conflict in the #defines:

  #define KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG       _IOW(KVMIO,  0x9b, struct kvm_guest_debug)
  #define KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK   _IOW(KVMIO,  0x9b, void *)

The argument to KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is:

  struct kvm_guest_debug {
  	__u32 control;
  	__u32 pad;
  	struct kvm_guest_debug_arch arch;
  };

  struct kvm_guest_debug_arch {
  };

meaning that sizeof(struct kvm_guest_debug) == sizeof(void *) == 8
and KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG == KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK.

KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is handled in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c before even calling
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl (which would have handled KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK),
so KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK would just return -EINVAL.

kvm: drop unsupported capabilities, fix documentation

2014-11-03T11:07:29+00:00

No kernel ever reported KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI,
KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT.

This makes the documentation wrong, and no application ever
written to use these capabilities has a chance to work correctly.
The only way to detect support is to try, and test errno for ENOTTY.
That's unfortunate, but we can't fix the past.

Document the actual semantics, and drop the definitions from
the exported header to make it easier for application
developers to note and fix the bug.

KVM: device: add simple registration mechanism for kvm_device_ops

2014-09-17T11:10:08+00:00

kvm_ioctl_create_device currently has knowledge of all the device types
and their associated ops. This is fairly inflexible when adding support
for new in-kernel device emulations, so move what we currently have out
into a table, which can support dynamic registration of ops by new
drivers for virtual hardware.

KVM: Unconditionally export KVM_CAP_USER_NMI

2014-08-29T11:47:05+00:00

The idea between capabilities and the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl is that
userspace can, at run-time, determine if a feature is supported or not.
This allows KVM to being supporting a new feature with a new kernel
version without any need to update user space.  Unfortunately, since the
definition of KVM_CAP_USER_NMI was guarded by #ifdef
__KVM_HAVE_USER_NMI, such discovery still required a user space update.

Therefore, unconditionally export KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and change the
the typo in the comment for the IOCTL number definition as well.

KVM: PPC: Remove DCR handling

DCR handling was only needed for 440 KVM. Since we removed it, we can also

KVM: Allow KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the vm fd

2014-07-28T13:23:17+00:00

The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION is only available on the kvm fd today. Unfortunately
on PPC some of the capabilities change depending on the way a VM was created.

So instead we need a way to expose capabilities as VM ioctl, so that we can
see which VM type we're using (HV or PR). To enable this, add the
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to our vm ioctl portfolio.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Controls for in-kernel sPAPR hypercall handling

2014-07-28T13:22:17+00:00

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel.  Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS.  The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.

Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable.  Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.

The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit.  The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.

When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling.  The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point.  Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.

No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

KVM: s390: implement KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE for user space state control

2014-07-10T12:11:17+00:00

This patch
- adds s390 specific MP states to linux headers and documents them
- implements the KVM_{SET,GET}_MP_STATE ioctls
- enables KVM_CAP_MP_STATE
- allows user space to control the VCPU state on s390.

If user space sets the VCPU state using the ioctl KVM_SET_MP_STATE, we can disable
manual changing of the VCPU state and trust user space to do the right thing.
