2009-07-27Use Little Endian for Dirty LogAlexander Graf1-4/+7
We currently use host endian long types to store information in the dirty bitmap. This works reasonably well on Little Endian targets, because the u32 after the first contains the next 32 bits. On Big Endian this breaks completely though, forcing us to be inventive here. So Ben suggested to always use Little Endian, which looks reasonable. We only have dirty bitmap implemented in Little Endian targets so far and since PowerPC would be the first Big Endian platform, we can just as well switch to Little Endian always with little effort without breaking existing targets. This is the userspace part of the patch. It shouldn't change anything for existing targets, but help PowerPC. It replaces my older patch called "Use 64bit pointer for dirty log".

2009-07-27Use 64bit pointer for dirty logAlexander Graf1-1/+1
Dirty logs currently get written with native "long" size. On little endian it doesn't matter if we use uint64_t instead though, because we'd still end up using the right bytes. On big endian, this does become a bigger problem, so we need to ensure that kernel and userspace talk the same language, which means getting rid of "long" and using a defined size instead. So I decided to use 64 bit types at all times. This doesn't break existing targets but will in conjunction with a patch I'll send to the KVM ML make dirty logs work with 32 bit userspace on 64 kernel with big endian.

2009-07-22provide tests for pit in kernel and irqchip in kernelGlauber Costa1-0/+13
KVM can have an in-kernel pit or irqchip. While we don't implement it yet, having a way for test for it (that always returns zero) will allow us to reuse code in qemu-kvm that tests for it. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-07-22introduce on_vcpuGlauber Costa1-6/+29
on_vcpu is a qemu-kvm function that will make sure that a specific piece of code will run on a requested cpu. We don't need that because we're restricted to -smp 1 right now, but those days are likely to end soon. So for the benefit of having qemu-kvm share more code with us, I'm introducing our own version of on_vcpu(). Right now, we either run a function on the current cpu, or abort the execution, because it would mean something is seriously wrong. As an example code, I "ported" kvm_update_guest_debug to use it, with some slight differences from qemu-kvm. This is probably 0.12 material Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com> CC: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-07-22Fake dirty loggin when it's not thereAlexander Graf1-1/+12
Some KVM platforms don't support dirty logging yet, like IA64 and PPC, so in order to still have screen updates on those, we need to fake it. This patch just tells the getter function for dirty bitmaps, that all pages within a slot are dirty when the slot has dirty logging enabled. That way we can implement dirty logging on those platforms sometime when it drags down performance, but share the rest of the code with dirty logging capable platforms.

This reverts commit 8217606e6edb49591b4a6fd5a0d1229cebe470a9 (and updates later added users of qemu_register_reset), we solved the problem it originally addressed less invasively. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-06-29kvm: Rework VCPU synchronizationJan Kiszka1-23/+13
During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the in-kernel KVM state. Namely, we need to transfer the VCPU registers when they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset. This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in main().

2009-06-16kvm: Fix IRQ injection into full queueJan Kiszka1-2/+1
User space may only inject interrupts during kvm_arch_pre_run if ready_for_interrupt_injection is set in kvm_run. But that field is updated on exit from KVM_RUN, so we must ensure that we enter the kernel after potentially queuing an interrupt, otherwise we risk to loose one - like it happens with the current code against latest kernel modules (since kvm-86) that started to queue only a single interrupt. Fix the problem by reordering kvm_cpu_exec. Credits go to Gleb Natapov for analyzing the issue in details.

Save and restore all so far neglected KVM-specific CPU states. Handling the TSC stabilizes migration in KVM mode. The interrupt_bitmap and mp_state are currently unused, but will become relevant for in-kernel irqchip support.

2009-04-17kvm: improve handling of overlapping slots (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-52/+114
This reworks the slot management to handle more patterns of cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so far address remapping on reset broke the slot management). We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM kernel bug in older versions would force us to track all previous fragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents registering larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). To remain backward compatible but avoid overly complicated workarounds, we apply a simpler workaround that covers all currently used patterns.

Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot. Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent memory regions by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several inconsistencies in the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series.

2009-03-12Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-0/+173
This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff. So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon. Core features are: - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints Changes in this version: - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between user space and kvm - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6825 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
2009-03-06Fix race condition on access to env->interrupt_requestaurel321-3/+3
env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU. This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick clock. The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be work even on RISC CPU. We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.

2008-12-09KVM: Coalesced MMIO supportaliguori1-0/+72
MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they involve, at least, privilege transitions. However, MMIO write operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side effects. Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar mode. As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too. Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.
