* KVM: VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guestDexuan Cui2010-08-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enable guest to use XSAVE/XRSTOR instructions. We assume that host_xcr0 would use all possible bits that OS supported. And we loaded xcr0 in the same way we handled fpu - do it as late as we can.

So we would trap and inject a #UD if guest try this way. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: VMX: Add support for Pause-Loop ExitingZhai, Edwin2009-12-031-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New NHM processors will support Pause-Loop Exiting by adding 2 VM-execution control fields: PLE_Gap - upper bound on the amount of time between two successive executions of PAUSE in a loop. PLE_Window - upper bound on the amount of time a guest is allowed to execute in a PAUSE loop If the time, between this execution of PAUSE and previous one, exceeds the PLE_Gap, processor consider this PAUSE belongs to a new loop. Otherwise, processor determins the the total execution time of this loop(since 1st PAUSE in this loop), and triggers a VM exit if total time exceeds the PLE_Window. * Refer SDM volume 3b section 21.6.13 & 22.1.3. Pause-Loop Exiting can be used to detect Lock-Holder Preemption, where one VP is sched-out after hold a spinlock, then other VPs for same lock are sched-in to waste the CPU time. Our tests indicate that most spinlocks are held for less than 212 cycles. Performance tests show that with 2X LP over-commitment we can get +2% perf improvement for kernel build(Even more perf gain with more LPs).

* KVM: VMX: Support Unrestricted Guest featureNitin A Kamble2009-09-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification. Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature. It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode code works like native. The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.

* KVM: Add VT-x machine check supportAndi Kleen2009-06-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VT-x needs an explicit MC vector intercept to handle machine checks in the hyper visor. It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen during VT entry. Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently. Thanks to Jiang Yunhong for help and testing.

* KVM: x86: Virtualize debug registersJan Kiszka2009-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use those registers. This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and guest. This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with content reflecting the guest's modifications. Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows... Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on Intel. Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging series as platform for this patch. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: VMX: Support for injecting software exceptionsJan Kiszka2009-03-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | VMX differentiates between processor and software generated exceptions when injecting them into the guest. Extend vmx_queue_exception accordingly (and refactor related constants) so that we can use this service reliably for the new guest debugging framework.

* KVM: VMX: move ASM_VMX_* definitions from asm/kvm_host.h to asm/vmx.hEduardo Habkost2008-12-311-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | Those definitions will be used by code outside KVM, so move it outside of a KVM-specific source file. Those definitions are used only on kvm/vmx.c, that already includes asm/vmx.h, so they can be moved safely.
