kvm: rename pfn_t to kvm_pfn_t

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace).  This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o.  It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.

The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver.  The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.

The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag.  Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.

Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array.  Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory.  The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

This patch (of 18):

The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1].  Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

KVM: move architecture-dependent requests to arch/

2016-01-08T18:04:36+00:00

Since the numbers now overlap, it makes sense to enumerate
them in asm/kvm_host.h rather than linux/kvm_host.h.  Functions
that refer to architecture-specific requests are also moved
to arch/.

KVM/ARM changes for Linux v4.5

- Complete rewrite of the arm64 world switch in C, hopefully
  paving the way for more sharing with the 32bit code, better
  maintainability and easier integration of new features.
  Also smaller and slightly faster in some cases...
- Support for 16bit VM identifiers
- Various cleanups

arm64: KVM: Turn system register numbers to an enum

2015-12-14T11:30:43+00:00

Having the system register numbers as #defines has been a pain
since day one, as the ordering is pretty fragile, and moving
things around leads to renumbering and epic conflict resolutions.

Now that we're mostly acessing the sysreg file in C, an enum is
a much better type to use, and we can clean things up a bit.

KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v3: Make the LR indexing macro public

2015-12-14T11:30:38+00:00

We store GICv3 LRs in reverse order so that the CPU can save/restore
them in rever order as well (don't ask why, the design is crazy),
and yet generate memory traffic that doesn't completely suck.

We need this macro to be available to the C version of save/restore.

KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Fix kvm_vgic_map_is_active's dist check

2015-12-11T16:33:31+00:00

External inputs to the vgic from time to time need to poke into the
state of a virtual interrupt, the prime example is the architected timer
code.

Since the IRQ's active state can be represented in two places; the LR or
the distributor, we first loop over the LRs but if not active in the LRs
we just return if *any* IRQ is active on the VCPU in question.

This is of course bogus, as we should check if the specific IRQ in
quesiton is active on the distributor instead.

KVM: Remove unnecessary debugfs dentry references

2015-11-30T11:47:05+00:00

KVM creates debugfs files to export VM statistics to userland. To be
able to remove them on kvm exit it tracks the files' dentries.

Since their parent directory is also tracked and since each parent
direntry knows its children we can easily remove them by using
debugfs_remove_recursive(kvm_debugfs_dir). Therefore we don't
need the extra tracking in the kvm_stats_debugfs_item anymore.
