arm64: KVM: Add a new vcpu device control group for PMUv3

2016-02-29T18:34:21Z

To configure the virtual PMUv3 overflow interrupt number, we use the vcpu kvm_device ioctl, encapsulating the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ attribute within the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL group. After configuring the PMUv3, call the vcpu ioctl with attribute KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT to initialize the PMUv3.

arm64: KVM: Introduce per-vcpu kvm device controls

2016-02-29T18:34:21Z

In some cases it needs to get/set attributes specific to a vcpu and so needs something else than ONE_REG. Let's copy the KVM_DEVICE approach, and define the respective ioctls for the vcpu file descriptor.

KVM: s390: usage hint for adapter mappings

2016-02-10T12:12:56Z

The interface for adapter mappings was designed with code in mind that maps each address only once; let's document this. Otherwise, duplicate mappings are added to the list, which makes the code ineffective and uses up the limited amount of mapping needlessly.

KVM: s390: fix mismatch between user and in-kernel guest limit

2015-12-15T16:08:21Z

While the userspace interface requests the maximum size the gmap code expects to get a maximum address. This error resulted in bigger page tables than necessary for some guest sizes, e.g. a 2GB guest used 3 levels instead of 2. At the same time we introduce KVM_S390_NO_MEM_LIMIT, which allows in a bright future that a guest spans the complete 64 bit address space. We also switch to TASK_MAX_SIZE for the initial memory size, this is a cosmetic change as the previous size also resulted in a 4 level pagetable creation.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "First batch of KVM changes for 4.4. s390: A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling. PPC: Mostly bug fixes. ARM: No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including: - a number of fixes for the arch-timer - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite for IRQ forwarding) - some tracepoint improvements - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state x86: Quite a few changes: - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together. The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt forwarding as well. - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let KVM expose Hyper-V devices. - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for clflushopt, clwb, pcommit - support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel + IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of the hypervisor - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten to not require help from the hypervisor" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (123 commits) KVM: VMX: Fix commit which broke PML KVM: x86: obey KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED in kvm_set_cr0() KVM: x86: allow RSM from 64-bit mode KVM: VMX: fix SMEP and SMAP without EPT KVM: x86: move kvm_set_irq_inatomic to legacy device assignment KVM: device assignment: remove pointless #ifdefs KVM: x86: merge kvm_arch_set_irq with kvm_set_msi_inatomic KVM: x86: zero apic_arb_prio on reset drivers/hv: share Hyper-V SynIC constants with userspace KVM: x86: handle SMBASE as physical address in RSM KVM: x86: add read_phys to x86_emulate_ops KVM: x86: removing unused variable KVM: don't pointlessly leave KVM_COMPAT=y in non-KVM configs KVM: arm/arm64: Merge vgic_set_lr() and vgic_sync_lr_elrsr() KVM: arm/arm64: Clean up vgic_retire_lr() and surroundings KVM: arm/arm64: Optimize away redundant LR tracking KVM: s390: use simple switch statement as multiplexer KVM: s390: drop useless newline in debugging data KVM: s390: SCA must not cross page boundaries KVM: arm: Do not indent the arguments of DECLARE_BITMAP ...

KVM: arm/arm64: Fix vGIC documentation

2015-10-22T21:01:47Z

Correct some old mistakes in the API documentation: 1. VCPU is identified by index (using kvm_get_vcpu() function), but "cpu id" can be mistaken for affinity ID. 2. Some error codes are wrong.
