2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Add return value to core_check_requestsAlexander Graf
Requests may want to tell us that we need to go back into host state, so add a return value for the checks. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Add return value in prepare_to_enterAlexander Graf
Our prepare_to_enter helper wants to be able to return in more circumstances to the host than only when an interrupt is pending. Broaden the interface a bit and move even more generic code to the generic helper. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Ignore EXITING_GUEST_MODE modeAlexander Graf
We don't need to do anything when mode is EXITING_GUEST_MODE, because we essentially are outside of guest mode and did everything it asked us to do by the time we check it. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Move kvm_guest_enter call into generic codeAlexander Graf
We need to call kvm_guest_enter in booke and book3s, so move its call to generic code. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Rework irq disablingAlexander Graf
Today, we disable preemption while inside guest context, because we need to expose to the world that we are not in a preemptible context. However, during that time we already have interrupts disabled, which would indicate that we are in a non-preemptible context. The reason the checks for irqs_disabled() fail for us though is that we manually control hard IRQs and ignore all the lazy EE framework. Let's stop doing that. Instead, let's always use lazy EE to indicate when we want to disable IRQs, but do a special final switch that gets us into EE disabled, but soft enabled state. That way when we get back out of guest state, we are immediately ready to process interrupts. This simplifies the code drastically and reduces the time that we appear as preempt disabled. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Consistentify vcpu exit pathAlexander Graf
When getting out of __vcpu_run, let's be consistent about the state we return in. We want to always * have IRQs enabled * have called kvm_guest_exit before Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Indicate we're out of guest modeAlexander Graf
When going out of guest mode, indicate that we are in vcpu->mode. That way requests from other CPUs don't needlessly need to kick us to process them, because it'll just happen next time we enter the guest. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Exit guest context while handling exitAlexander Graf
The x86 implementation of KVM accounts for host time while processing guest exits. Do the same for us. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Only do resched check once per exitAlexander Graf
Now that we use our generic exit helper, we can safely drop our previous kvm_resched that we used to trigger at the beginning of the exit handler function. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: BookE: Drop redundant vcpu->mode setAlexander Graf
We only need to set vcpu->mode to outside once. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Book3s: PR: Add (dumb) MMU Notifier supportAlexander Graf
Now that we have very simple MMU Notifier support for e500 in place, also add the same simple support to book3s. It gets us one step closer to actual fast support. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Use same kvmppc_prepare_to_enter code for booke and book3s_prAlexander Graf
We need to do the same things when preparing to enter a guest for booke and book3s_pr cores. Fold the generic code into a generic function that both call. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: BookE: No duplicate request != 0 checkAlexander Graf
We only call kvmppc_check_requests() when vcpu->requests != 0, so drop the redundant check in the function itself Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: BookE: Add some more trace pointsAlexander Graf
Without trace points, debugging what exactly is going on inside guest code can be very tricky. Add a few more trace points at places that hopefully tell us more when things go wrong. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: E500: Implement MMU notifiersAlexander Graf
The e500 target has lived without mmu notifiers ever since it got introduced, but fails for the user space check on them with hugetlbfs. So in order to get that one working, implement mmu notifiers in a reasonably dumb fashion and be happy. On embedded hardware, we almost never end up with mmu notifier calls, since most people don't overcommit. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: BookE: Add support for vcpu->modeAlexander Graf
Generic KVM code might want to know whether we are inside guest context or outside. It also wants to be able to push us out of guest context. Add support to the BookE code for the generic vcpu->mode field that describes the above states. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: BookE: Add check_requests helper functionAlexander Graf
We need a central place to check for pending requests in. Add one that only does the timer check we already do in a different place. Later, this central function can be extended by more checks. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Quieten message about allocating linear regionsPaul Mackerras

2012-10-05KVM: PPC: E500: Fix clear_tlb_refsAlexander Graf

2012-10-05KVM: PPC: Expose SYNC cap based on mmu notifiersAlexander Graf
Semantically, the "SYNC" cap means that we have mmu notifiers available. Express this in our #ifdef'ery around the feature, so that we can be sure we don't miss out on ppc targets when they get their implementation. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2012-10-05KVM: PPC: PR: Use generic tracepoint for guest exitAlexander Graf

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").

In handling the H_CEDE hypercall, if this vcpu has already been prodded (with the H_PROD hypercall, which Linux guests don't in fact use), we branch to a numeric label '1f'. Unfortunately there is another '1:' label before the one that we want to jump to. This fixes the problem by using a textual label, 'kvm_cede_prodded'. It also changes the label for another longish branch from '2:' to 'kvm_cede_exit' to avoid a possible future problem if code modifications add another numeric '2:' label in between.

kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() When we tested KVM under memory pressure, with THP enabled on the host, we noticed that MMU notifier took a long time to invalidate huge pages. Since the invalidation was done with mmu_lock held, it not only wasted the CPU but also made the host harder to respond. This patch mitigates this by using kvm_handle_hva_range().

2012-07-18KVM: MMU: Make kvm_handle_hva() handle range of addressesTakuya Yoshikawa
When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page: for each page for each memslot if page is in memslot unmap using rmap This means although every page in that range is expected to be found in the same memslot, we are forced to check unrelated memslots many times. If the guest has more memslots, the situation will become worse. Furthermore, if the range does not include any pages in the guest's memory, the loop over the pages will just consume extra time. This patch, together with the following patches, solves this problem by introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() which makes the loop look like this: for each memslot for each page in memslot unmap using rmap In this new processing, the actual work is converted to a loop over rmap which is much more cache friendly than before.
