2009-09-10KVM: VMX: Support Unrestricted Guest featureNitin A Kamble
"Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification. Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature. It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode code works like native. The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.

2009-09-10KVM: Allow PIT emulation without speaker portJan Kiszka
The in-kernel speaker emulation is only a dummy and also unneeded from the performance point of view. Rather, it takes user space support to generate sound output on the host, e.g. console beeps. To allow this, introduce KVM_CREATE_PIT2 which controls in-kernel speaker port emulation via a flag passed along the new IOCTL. It also leaves room for future extensions of the PIT configuration interface. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2009-09-10KVM: irqfdGregory Haskins
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86). Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices, pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available interrupt window.

2009-09-09xen: use stronger barrier after unlocking lockYang Xiaowei
We need to have a stronger barrier between releasing the lock and checking for any waiting spinners. A compiler barrier is not sufficient because the CPU's ordering rules do not prevent the read xl->spinners from happening before the unlock assignment, as they are different memory locations. We need to have an explicit barrier to enforce the write-read ordering to different memory locations. Because of it, I can't bring up > 4 HVM guests on one SMP machine.

2009-09-09xen: only enable interrupts while actually blocking for spinlockJeremy Fitzhardinge
Where possible we enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock to become free, in order to reduce big latency spikes in interrupt handling. However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too. Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the blocking call.

2009-09-09xen: make -fstack-protector work under XenJeremy Fitzhardinge
-fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value. gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun. On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited.

2009-09-09x86/PCI: initialize PCI bus node numbers earlyJesse Barnes
The current mp_bus_to_node array is initialized only by AMD specific code, since AMD platforms have registers that can be used for determining mode numbers. On new Intel platforms it's necessary to initialize this array as well though, otherwise all PCI node numbers will be 0, when in fact they should be -1 (indicating that I/O isn't tied to any particular node). So move the mp_bus_to_node code into the common PCI code, and initialize it early with a default value of -1. This may be overridden later by arch code (e.g. the AMD code). With this change, PCI consistent memory and other node specific allocations (e.g. skbuff allocs) should occur on the "current" node. If, for performance reasons, applications want to be bound to specific nodes, they should open their devices only after being pinned to the CPU where they'll run, for maximum locality.

2009-09-08dmi: extend dmi_get_year() to dmi_get_date()Tejun Heo
There are cases where full date information is required instead of just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename it to dmi_get_date(). As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to avoid upsetting existing users. The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and [1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is returned as zero. The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how other dummy functions behave.

Fixing all aspects of power-savings scheduling for Magny-Cours needs some larger changes in the sched domain creation code. As a short-term and temporary workaround avoid the problems by extending "the worst possible hack" ;-( and always use llc_shared_map on AMD Magny-Cours when MC domain span is calculated. With this I get: # echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings CPU0 attaching sched-domain: domain 0: span 0-5 level MC groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 domain 1: span 0-5 level CPU groups: 0-5 (__cpu_power = 6144) domain 2: span 0-23 level NODE groups: 0-5 (__cpu_power = 6144) 6-11 (__cpu_power = 6144) 18-23 (__cpu_power = 6144) 12-17 (__cpu_power = 6144) ... I.e. no errors during sched domain creation, no system hangs, and also mc_power_savings scheduling works to a certain extend.

2009-09-03x86, mcheck: Use correct cpumask for shared bank4Andreas Herrmann
This fixes threshold_bank4 support on multi-node processors. The correct mask to use is llc_shared_map, representing an internal node on Magny-Cours. We need to create 2 sets of symlinks for sibling shared banks -- one set for each internal node, symlinks of each set should target the first core on same internal node. Currently only one set is created where all symlinks are targeting the first core of the entire socket. Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Signed-off-by: H.
