2009-12-03KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offsetGlauber Costa2-1/+42
When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time will be significantly impacted. Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with a smaller monotonic clock. This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

2009-12-03KVM: x86: Fix guest single-stepping while interruptibleJan Kiszka2-19/+32
Commit 705c5323 opened the doors of hell by unconditionally injecting single-step flags as long as guest_debug signaled this. This doesn't work when the guest branches into some interrupt or exception handler and triggers a vmexit with flag reloading. Fix it by saving cs:rip when user space requests single-stepping and restricting the trace flag injection to this guest code position.

2009-12-03KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest supportEd Swierk3-0/+49
Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen hypercall blob into guest address space. A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future. Thus this patch adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR. I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that userspace has loaded from files. When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest. I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

2009-12-03KVM: SVM: Support Pause Filter in AMD processorsMark Langsdorf2-1/+15
New AMD processors (Family 0x10 models 8+) support the Pause Filter Feature. This feature creates a new field in the VMCB called Pause Filter Count. If Pause Filter Count is greater than 0 and intercepting PAUSEs is enabled, the processor will increment an internal counter when a PAUSE instruction occurs instead of intercepting. When the internal counter reaches the Pause Filter Count value, a PAUSE intercept will occur. This feature can be used to detect contended spinlocks, especially when the lock holding VCPU is not scheduled. Rescheduling another VCPU prevents the VCPU seeking the lock from wasting its quantum by spinning idly. Experimental results show that most spinlocks are held for less than 1000 PAUSE cycles or more than a few thousand. Default the Pause Filter Counter to 3000 to detect the contended spinlocks. Processor support for this feature is indicated by a CPUID bit. On a 24 core system running 4 guests each with 16 VCPUs, this patch improved overall performance of each guest's 32 job kernbench by approximately 3-5% when combined with a scheduler algorithm thati caused the VCPU to sleep for a brief period. Further performance improvement may be possible with a more sophisticated yield algorithm. Signed-off-by: Mark Langsdorf <mark.langsdorf@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2009-12-03KVM: VMX: Add support for Pause-Loop ExitingZhai, Edwin2-1/+54
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).

2009-12-03KVM: SVM: Move INTR vmexit out of atomic codeJoerg Roedel1-1/+25
The nested SVM code emulates a #vmexit caused by a request to open the irq window right in the request function. This is a bug because the request function runs with preemption and interrupts disabled but the #vmexit emulation might sleep.

2009-12-03KVM: Kill the confusing tsc_ref_khz and ref_freq variablesZachary Amsden1-10/+16
They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and vulnerable to various startup races. Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement is required. On such machines, when a new CPU online is brought online, it isn't clear what frequency it will start with, and it may not correspond to the reference, thus in hardware_enable we clear the cpu_tsc_khz variable to zero and make sure it is set before running on a VCPU.

2009-12-03KVM: Activate Virtualization On DemandAlexander Graf7-15/+29
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.
