KVM guest: do not batch pte updates from interrupt context

2009-09-10T15:10:50Z

Commit b8bcfe997e4 made paravirt pte updates synchronous in interrupt context. Unfortunately the KVM pv mmu code caches the lazy/nonlazy mode internally, so a pte update from interrupt context during a lazy mmu operation can be batched while it should be performed synchronously. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518022 Drop the internal mode variable and use paravirt_get_lazy_mode(), which returns the correct state.

x86, kvm: Fix section mismatches in kvm.c

2009-07-03T12:34:22Z

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the variable no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates the following warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called from kvm_guest_init() which is a __init function. So to fix this we mark paravirt_ops_setup as __init. The sections-check output that warned us about this was: LD arch/x86/built-in.o WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable .init.data:no_timer_check The function paravirt_ops_setup() references the variable __initdata no_timer_check. This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.

x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch

2009-03-30T06:36:00Z

Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set. This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible, though that won't actually be active until the next change. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra

x86, paravirt_ops: use unsigned long instead of u32 for alloc_p*() pfn args

2008-08-22T03:34:44Z

This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long' on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes on asm-x86/pgalloc.h. It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any change after applying this patch. On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the pfn args.
