2012-09-06KVM: use symbolic constant for nr interruptsMichael S. Tsirkin
interrupt_bitmap is KVM_NR_INTERRUPTS bits in size, so just use that instead of hard-coded constants and math. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2012-09-06KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handlingGleb Natapov
Optimize "rep ins" by allowing emulator to write back more than one datum at a time. Introduce new operand type OP_MEM_STR which tells writeback() that dst contains pointer to an array that should be written back as opposite to just one data element.

2012-09-06KVM: Provide userspace IO exit completion callbackGleb Natapov
Current code assumes that IO exit was due to instruction emulation and handles execution back to emulator directly. This patch adds new userspace IO exit completion callback that can be set by any other code that caused IO exit to userspace.

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Ignore segment G and D bits when considering whether we can virtualizeAvi Kivity
We will enter the guest with G and D cleared; as real hardware ignores D in real mode, and G is taken care of by the limit test, we allow more code to run in vm86 mode. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Preserve segment limit and access rights in real modeAvi Kivity
While this is undocumented, real processors do not reload the segment limit and access rights when loading a segment register in real mode.

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Return real real-mode segment data even if ↵Avi Kivity
emulate_invalid_guest_state=1 emulate_invalid_guest_state=1 doesn't mean we don't munge the segments in the vmcs; we do. So we need to return the real ones (maintained by vmx_set_segment). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2012-08-27KVM: x86 emulator: Leave segment limit and attributs alone in real modeAvi Kivity
When loading a segment in real mode, only the base and selector must be modified. The limit needs to be left alone, otherwise big real mode users will hit a #GP due to limit checking (currently this is suppressed because we don't check limits in real mode). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Allow vm86 virtualization of big real modeAvi Kivity
Usually, big real mode uses large (4GB) segments. Currently we don't virtualize this; if any segment has a limit other than 0xffff, we emulate. But if we set the vmx-visible limit to 0xffff, we can use vm86 to virtualize real mode; if an access overruns the segment limit, the guest will #GP, which we will trap and forward to the emulator. This results in significantly faster execution, and less risk of hitting an unemulated instruction. If the limit is less than 0xffff, we retain the existing behaviour.

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Allow real mode emulation using vm86 with dpl=0Avi Kivity
Real mode is always entered from protected mode with dpl=0. Since the dpl doesn't affect execution, and we already override it to 3 in the vmcs (as vmx requires), we can allow execution in that state. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Retain limit and attributes when entering protected modeAvi Kivity
Real processors don't change segment limits and attributes while in real mode. Mimic that behaviour. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Use kvm_segment to save protected-mode segments when entering realmodeAvi Kivity
Instead of using struct kvm_save_segment, use struct kvm_segment, which is what the other APIs use. This leads to some simplification. We replace save_rmode_seg() with a call to vmx_save_segment(). Since this depends on rmode.vm86_active, we move the call to before setting the flag. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Fix incorrect lookup of segment S flag in fix_pmode_dataseg()Avi Kivity

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Separate saving pre-realmode state from setting segmentsAvi Kivity
Commit b246dd5df139 ("KVM: VMX: Fix KVM_SET_SREGS with big real mode segments") moved fix_rmode_seg() to vmx_set_segment(), so that it is applied not just on transitions to real mode, but also on KVM_SET_SREGS (migration). However fix_rmode_seg() not only munges the vmcs segments, it also sets up the save area for us to restore when returning to protected mode or to return in vmx_get_segment(). Move saving the segment into a new function, save_rmode_seg(), and call it just during the transition. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: x86 emulator: access GPRs on demandAvi Kivity
Instead of populating the entire register file, read in registers as they are accessed, and write back only the modified ones. This saves a VMREAD and VMWRITE on Intel (for rsp, since it is not usually used during emulation), and a two 128-byte copies for the registers.

2012-08-27KVM: PPC: book3s: fix build error caused by gfn_to_hva_memslot()Gavin Shan
The build error was caused by that builtin functions are calling the functions implemented in modules. This error was introduced by commit 4d8b81abc4 ("KVM: introduce readonly memslot"). The patch fixes the build error by moving function __gfn_to_hva_memslot() from kvm_main.c to kvm_host.h and making that "inline" so that the builtin function (kvmppc_h_enter) can use that.

2012-08-24powerpc/perf: Use pmc_overflow() to detect rolled back eventsSukadev Bhattiprolu
For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher event count than 'perf record' for the same event. As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised even when the the performance events are rolled back. commit 0837e3242c73566fc1c0196b4ec61779c25ffc93 Author: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Date: Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100 perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'. Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely. To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow() even when recording events. To reproduce: $ cat strcpy.c #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> main() { char buf[256]; alarm(5); while(1) strcpy(buf, "string1"); } $ perf record -e r20014 ./strcpy $ perf report -n > report.1 $ perf stat -e r20014 > report.2 # Compare report.1 and report.2 Reported-by: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
