2012-07-12KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPTMao, Junjie
This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests. Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A for details. For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running natively. For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD. Signed-off-by: Junjie Mao <junjie.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2012-07-09KVM: Split cpuid register access from computationAvi Kivity
Introduce kvm_cpuid() to perform the leaf limit check and calculate register values, and let kvm_emulate_cpuid() just handle reading and writing the registers from/to the vcpu. This allows us to reuse kvm_cpuid() in a context where directly reading and writing registers is not desired. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2012-06-25KVM: host side for eoi optimizationMichael S. Tsirkin
Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory. This reduces the number of exits an interrupt causes as much as by half. The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using a test and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR. There's a new MSR to set the address of said register in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed: - Guest EOI is not required - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit For testing results see description of previous patch 'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

2012-05-06KVM: fix cpuid eax for KVM leafMichael S. Tsirkin
cpuid eax should return the max leaf so that guests can find out the valid range. This matches Xen et al. Update documentation to match. Tested with -cpu host. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2012-03-05KVM: SVM: Add support for AMD's OSVW feature in guestsBoris Ostrovsky
In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family 10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest. This patch allows us to present a guest with certain errata as fixed, regardless of the state of actual hardware.

2011-12-27KVM: Refactor and simplify kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuidSasha Levin
This patch cleans and simplifies kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid by using a table instead of duplicating code as Avi suggested. This patch also fixes a bug where kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid would return -E2BIG when amount of entries passed was just right.

Intel latest cpu add 6 new features, refer http://software.intel.com/file/36945 The new feature cpuid listed as below: 1. FMA CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.FMA[bit 12] 2. MOVBE CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.MOVBE[bit 22] 3. BMI1 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI1[bit 3] 4. AVX2 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.AVX2[bit 5] 5. BMI2 CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI2[bit 8] 6. LZCNT CPUID.EAX=80000001H:ECX.LZCNT[bit 5] This patch expose these features to guest. Among them, FMA/MOVBE/LZCNT has already been defined, MOVBE/LZCNT has already been exposed. This patch defines BMI1/AVX2/BMI2, and exposes FMA/BMI1/AVX2/BMI2 to guest. Signed-off-by: Liu, Jinsong <jinsong.liu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
