3d80840d96 KVM: hlt emulation should take in-kernel APIC/PIT timers into account
Timers that fire between guest hlt and vcpu_block's add_wait_queue() are
ignored, possibly resulting in hangs.

Also make sure that atomic_inc and waitqueue_active tests happen in the
specified order, otherwise the following race is open:

CPU0                                        CPU1
                                            if (waitqueue_active(wq))
add_wait_queue()
if (!atomic_read(pit_timer->pending))
    schedule()
                                            atomic_inc(pit_timer->pending)

35149e2129 KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty().  Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.

We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results.  When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.

This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory.  However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.

Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those.  I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

e976a2b997 s390: KVM guest: virtio device support, and kvm hypercalls
This patch implements kvm guest kernel support for paravirtualized devices
and contains two parts:
o a basic virtio stub using virtio_ring and external interrupts and hypercalls
o full hypercall implementation in kvm_para.h

Currently we dont have PCI on s390. Making virtio_pci usable for s390 seems
more complicated that providing an own stub. This virtio stub is similar to
the lguest one, the memory for the descriptors and the device detection is made
via additional mapped memory on top of the guest storage. We use an external
interrupt with extint code 0x2603 for host->guest notification.

The hypercall definition uses the diag instruction for issuing a hypercall. The
parameters are written in R2-R7, the hypercall number is written in R1. This is
similar to the system call ABI (svc) which can use R1 for the number and R2-R6
for the parameters.

e28acfea5d KVM: s390: intercepts for diagnose instructions
This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
  for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself

In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.

5288fbf0ef KVM: s390: interprocessor communication via sigp
This patch introduces in-kernel handling of _some_ sigp interprocessor
signals (similar to ipi).
kvm_s390_handle_sigp() decodes the sigp instruction and calls individual
handlers depending on the operation requested:
- sigp sense tries to retrieve information such as existence or running state
  of the remote cpu
- sigp emergency sends an external interrupt to the remove cpu
- sigp stop stops a remove cpu
- sigp stop store status stops a remote cpu, and stores its entire internal
  state to the cpus lowcore
- sigp set arch sets the architecture mode of the remote cpu. setting to
  ESAME (s390x 64bit) is accepted, setting to ESA/S390 (s390, 31 or 24 bit) is
  denied, all others are passed to userland
- sigp set prefix sets the prefix register of a remote cpu

For implementation of this, the stop intercept indication starts to get reused
on purpose: a set of action bits defines what to do once a cpu gets stopped:
ACTION_STOP_ON_STOP  really stops the cpu when a stop intercept is recognized
ACTION_STORE_ON_STOP stores the cpu status to lowcore when a stop intercept is
                     recognized

handle_set_prefix()        sets the prefix register of the local cpu

handle_chsc()              same here
handle_stfl()              stores the facility list which contains the

ba5c1e9b6c KVM: s390: interrupt subsystem, cpu timer, waitpsw
This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic)
including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait
(similar to in kernel hlt).

In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling
for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions.

This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both
the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is
issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.

The following interrupts are supported:
SIGP STOP       - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu
SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a
                  (stopped) remote cpu
INT EMERGENCY   - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed
                  and for smp_call_function() in the guest.
PROGRAM INT     - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal
                  instruction and friends
RESTART         - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu
INT VIRTIO      - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation
INT SERVICE     - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system
                  service processor

struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting
an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt
type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current
operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390.

kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a
disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case
of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value
and sleep on a wait queue.

8f2abe6a1e KVM: s390: sie intercept handling
This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts
are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(),
or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP.
In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support,
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return
-EREMOTE.

The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch:
handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support
  at all
handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to
  userland after updating our vcpu state
handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request
  to userland

b0c632db63 KVM: s390: arch backend for the kvm kernel module
This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
 (aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.

The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c    similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
                            arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
                            sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S      assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
                            context via SIE, and switches world before and after                            that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
                            virtual machines on the mainframe
include/asm-s390/kvm.h      defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
                            guest register content

5b7baf0578 s390: KVM preparation: host memory management changes for s390 kvm
This patch changes the s390 memory management defintions to use the pgste field
for dirty and reference bit tracking of host and guest code. Usually on s390,
dirty and referenced are tracked in storage keys, which belong to the physical
page. This changes with virtualization: The guest and host dirty/reference bits
are defined to be the logical OR of the values for the mapping and the physical
page. This patch implements the necessary changes in pgtable.h for s390.

There is a common code change in mm/rmap.c, the call to
page_test_and_clear_young must be moved. This is a no-op for all
architecture but s390. page_referenced checks the referenced bits for
the physiscal page and for all mappings:
o The physical page is checked with page_test_and_clear_young.
o The mappings are checked with ptep_test_and_clear_young and friends.

Without pgstes (the current implementation on Linux s390) the physical page
check is implemented but the mapping callbacks are no-ops because dirty
and referenced are not tracked in the s390 page tables. The pgstes introduces
guest and host dirty and reference bits for s390 in the host mapping. These
mapping must be checked before page_test_and_clear_young resets the reference
bit.

402b08622d s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetable
The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.

Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.

This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.

Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

71c4dfafc0 KVM: detect if VCPU triple faults
In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU.  If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.

05da45583d KVM: MMU: large page support
Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and
the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed.  If the largepage contains
write-protected pages, a large pte is not used.

Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted
filesystem, without NPT/EPT.

Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT.

2e53d63acb KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root pagetables
Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup.

This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools
the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup
if the instruction can't be emulated.

18068523d3 KVM: paravirtualized clocksource: host part
This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does
not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We
only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writing to it periodically.

The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info
structure.

The generic x86 code has to know if the specific implementation uses Nested
Paging. In the generic code Nested Paging is called Two Dimensional Paging
(TDP) to avoid confusion with (future) TDP implementations of other vendors.
This patch exports the availability of TDP to the generic x86 code.
