* [S390] kvm-390: Let kernel exit SIE instruction on workCarsten Otte2011-04-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> This patch fixes the sie exit on interrupts. The low level interrupt handler returns to the PSW address in pt_regs and not to the PSW address in the lowcore. Without this fix a cpu bound guest might never leave guest state since the host interrupt handler would blindly return to the SIE instruction, even on need_resched and friends.

| * KVM: Clean up vm creation and releaseJan Kiszka2011-01-121-17/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IA64 support forces us to abstract the allocation of the kvm structure. But instead of mixing this up with arch-specific initialization and doing the same on destruction, split both steps. This allows to move generic destruction calls into generic code. It also fixes error clean-up on failures of kvm_create_vm for IA64. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-303-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* | vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio serverMichael S. Tsirkin2010-01-151-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds in userspace) - write logging is supported (good for migration) - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm) common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself. What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls. Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm. How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc. Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes. Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU utilization. Features that I plan to look at in the future: - mergeable buffers - zero copy - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU): what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by flush_workqueue()/flush_work().

| * [S390] Improve address space mode selection.Martin Schwidefsky2009-12-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values: 1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0 2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0 3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1 They get replaced by 1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE 2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE 3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets you choose the address space mode the user space processes should use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option is removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* | KVM: s390: Fix prefix register checking in arch/s390/kvm/sigp.cCarsten Otte2009-12-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects the checking of the new address for the prefix register. On s390, the prefix register is used to address the cpu's lowcore (address 0...8k). This check is supposed to verify that the memory is readable and present. copy_from_guest is a helper function, that can be used to read from guest memory. It applies prefixing, adds the start address of the guest memory in user, and then calls copy_from_user. Previous code was obviously broken for two reasons: - prefixing should not be applied here. The current prefix register is going to be updated soon, and the address we're looking for will be 0..8k after we've updated the register - we're adding the guest origin (gmsor) twice: once in subject code and once in copy_from_guest With kuli, we did not hit this problem because (a) we were lucky with previous prefix register content, and (b) our guest memory was mmaped very low into user address space.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves s390 processor status word into the base kvm_run struct and keeps it up-to date on all userspace exits. The userspace ABI is broken by this, however there are no applications in the wild using this. A capability check is provided so users can verify the updated API exists.

* | KVM: Activate Virtualization On DemandAlexander Graf2009-12-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch relocates the variables kvm-s390 uses to track guest mem addr/size. As discussed dropping the variables at struct kvm_arch level allows to use the common vcpu->request based mechanism to reload guest memory if e.g. changes via set_memory_region. The kick mechanism introduced in this series is used to ensure running vcpus leave guest state to catch the update.

* KVM: s390: fix signal handlingChristian Ehrhardt2009-09-101-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If signal pending is true we exit without updating kvm_run, userspace currently just does nothing and jumps to kvm_run again. Since we did not set an exit_reason we might end up with a random one (whatever was the last exit). Therefore it was possible to e.g. jump to the psw position the last real interruption set. Setting the INTR exit reason ensures that no old psw data is swapped in on reentry. Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Currently it kicks them out to rerun the vcpu_run path in the s390 code, but the mechanism itself is expandable and with a new flag we could also add e.g. kicks to userspace etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
