Second round of KVM/ARM Changes for v4.12. Changes include: - A fix related to the 32-bit idmap stub - A fix to the bitmask used to deode the operands of an AArch32 CP instruction - We have moved the files shared between arch/arm/kvm and arch/arm64/kvm to virt/kvm/arm - We add support for saving/restoring the virtual ITS state to userspace

KVM: arm/arm64: Clarification and relaxation to ITS save/restore ABI

2017-05-09T08:51:37Z

Clarify what is meant by the save/restore ABI only supporting virtual physical interrupts. Relax the requirement of the order that the collection entries are written in and be clear that there is no particular ordering enforced. Some cosmetic changes in the capitalization of ID names to align with the GICv3 manual and remove the empty line in the bottom of the patch. Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall Reviewed-by: Eric Auger

KVM: PPC: VFIO: Add in-kernel acceleration for VFIO

2017-04-20T01:39:26Z

This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO without passing them to user space which saves time on switching to user space and back. This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM. KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation. If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to the user space; this is not expected to happen though. To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode), this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode. If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it - for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface to report to the guest about possible failures. This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode. This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it - once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler. This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user space. This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys() returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect(). This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal. Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

KVM: s390: introduce adapter interrupt inject function

2017-04-06T11:15:37Z

Inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter which allows to retrieve the adapter flags, e.g. if the adapter is subject to AIS facility or not. And add documentation for this interface. For adapters subject to AIS, handle the airq injection suppression for a given ISC according to the interruption mode: - before injection, if NO-Interruptions Mode, just return 0 and suppress, otherwise, allow the injection. - after injection, if SINGLE-Interruption Mode, change it to NO-Interruptions Mode to suppress the following interrupts. Besides, add tracepoint for suppressed airq and AIS mode transitions. Signed-off-by: Yi Min Zhao Signed-off-by: Fei Li Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

KVM: s390: introduce ais mode modify function

2017-04-06T11:15:36Z

Provide an interface for userspace to modify AIS (adapter-interruption-suppression) mode state, and add documentation for the interface. Allowed target modes are ALL-Interruptions mode and SINGLE-Interruption mode. We introduce the 'simm' and 'nimm' fields in kvm_s390_float_interrupt to store interruption modes for each ISC. Each bit in 'simm' and 'nimm' targets to one ISC, and collaboratively indicate three modes: ALL-Interruptions, SINGLE-Interruption and NO-Interruptions. This interface can initiate most transitions between the states; transition from SINGLE-Interruption to NO-Interruptions via adapter interrupt injection will be introduced in a following patch. The meaningful combinations are as follows: interruption mode | simm bit | nimm bit ------------------|----------|---------- ALL | 0 | 0 SINGLE | 1 | 0 NO | 1 | 1 Besides, add tracepoint to track AIS mode transitions.
