| * KVM: Check for pending events before attempting injectionAvi Kivity2010-10-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of blindly attempting to inject an event before each guest entry, check for a possible event first in vcpu->requests. Sites that can trigger event injection are modified to set KVM_REQ_EVENT: - interrupt, nmi window opening - ppr updates - i8259 output changes - local apic irr changes - rflags updates - gif flag set - event set on exit This improves non-injecting entry performance, and sets the stage for non-atomic injection.

* KVM: Avoid killing userspace through guest SRAO MCE on unmapped pagesHuang Ying2010-08-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay the MCE to guest OS. But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will be killed. The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.

* KVM: Activate Virtualization On DemandAlexander Graf2009-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB entries (svm). Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking other VMMs. To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine and disabled on destruction of the last one. So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other hypervisors usable.

Host userspace can register any arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd to a specific end-point of interest for handling. Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller. Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM "heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu. However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the system, as well as latency to the signalling path. Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components. To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling from either an eventfd, or an ioctl(). We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via ioeventfd. You can download this test harness here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2 The measured results are as follows: qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO, and -350ns for HC, we get: qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data. Here is a graph for your convenience: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace hop. -------------------- Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

* KVM: remove in_range from io devicesMichael S. Tsirkin2009-09-101-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | This changes bus accesses to use high-level kvm_io_bus_read/kvm_io_bus_write functions. in_range now becomes unused so it is removed from device ops in favor of read/write callbacks performing range checks internally. This allows aliasing (mostly for in-kernel virtio), as well as better error handling by making it possible to pass errors up to userspace. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
