2010-04-01kvm: add API to set ioeventfdMichael S. Tsirkin1-1/+17
Comment on kvm usage: rather than require users to do if (kvm_enabled()) and/or ifdefs, this patch adds an API that, internally, is defined to stub function on non-kvm build, and checks kvm_enabled for non-kvm run. While rest of qemu code still uses if (kvm_enabled()), I think this approach is cleaner, and we should convert rest of code to it long term. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-03-04KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback APIJan Kiszka1-1/+24
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks: - cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete (initial sync from kernel before vmsave) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state (writeback after vmload) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init - cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset (writeback after system reset) These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback: - KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run) - KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped) - KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well) This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way, no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are eliminated. cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems. Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

2010-03-04KVM: Rework of guest debug state writingJan Kiszka1-0/+1
So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86 kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the guest. We furthermore need to reinject guest exceptions via the appropriate mechanism. That is KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG for older kernels and KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS for recent ones. Using both mechanisms at the same time will cause state corruptions. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2010-02-22kvm: consume internal signal with sigtimedwaitMarcelo Tosatti1-0/+1
Change the way the internal qemu signal, used for communication between iothread and vcpus, is handled. Block and consume it with sigtimedwait on the outer vcpu loop, which allows more precise timing control. Change from standard signal (SIGUSR1) to real-time one, so multiple signals are not collapsed. Set the signal number on KVM's in-kernel allowed sigmask. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2010-02-03kvm: Flush coalesced MMIO buffer periodlySheng Yang1-0/+1
The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until: 1. The buffer is full. 2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons. But this would result in a very late writing in some condition. 1. The each time write to MMIO content is small. 2. The writing interval is big. 3. No need for input or accessing other devices frequently. This issue was observed in a experimental embbed system. The test image simply print "test" every 1 seconds. The output in QEmu meets expectation, but the output in KVM is delayed for seconds. Per Avi's suggestion, I hooked flushing coalesced MMIO buffer in VGA update handler. By this way, We don't need vcpu explicit exit to QEmu to handle this issue. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2009-10-01Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"Anthony Liguori1-9/+9
In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list. The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input and cope with it. This reverts commit 99a0949b720a0936da2052cb9a46db04ffc6db29.

2009-09-12Fix sys-queue.h conflict for goodBlue Swirl1-3/+3
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896, f40d753718c72693c5f520f0d9899f6e50395e94, 96555a96d724016e13190b28cffa3bc929ac60dc and 3990d09adf4463eca200ad964cc55643c33feb50 but the fixes were fragile. Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the file. Revert the previous hacks. Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>
2009-08-27kvm: Simplify cpu_synchronize_state()Avi Kivity1-5/+3
cpu_synchronize_state() is a little unreadable since the 'modified' argument isn't self-explanatory.

2009-07-22provide tests for pit in kernel and irqchip in kernelGlauber Costa1-0/+3
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>
2009-06-29kvm: Rework VCPU synchronizationJan Kiszka1-1/+0
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().

2009-05-22kvm: x86: Save/restore KVM-specific CPU statesJan Kiszka1-0/+3
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. By including proper saving/restoring already, we avoid having to increment CPU_SAVE_VERSION later on once again. v2: - initialize mp_state runnable (for the boot CPU) Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-04-17kvm: Add sanity checks to slot management (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-3/+4
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. And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

2009-03-12Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-0/+51
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
2008-12-15kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)aliguori1-0/+1

2008-12-09KVM: Coalesced MMIO supportaliguori1-0/+3
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.

This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon the memory when possible.
