Avi Kivity 8d753f369b KVM: Fix cpuid feature misreporting
MTRR, PAT, MCE, and MCA are all supported (to some extent) but not reported.
Vista requires these features, so if userspace relies on kernel cpuid
reporting, it loses support for Vista.

Marcelo Tosatti 59839dfff5 KVM: x86: check for cr3 validity in ioctl_set_sregs
Matt T. Yourst notes that kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs lacks validity
checking for the new cr3 value:

"Userspace callers of KVM_SET_SREGS can pass a bogus value of cr3 to
the kernel. This will trigger a NULL pointer access in gfn_to_rmap()
when userspace next tries to call KVM_RUN on the affected VCPU and kvm
attempts to activate the new non-existent page table root.

This happens since kvm only validates that cr3 points to a valid guest
physical memory page when code *inside* the guest sets cr3. However, kvm
currently trusts the userspace caller (e.g. QEMU) on the host machine to
always supply a valid page table root, rather than properly validating
it along with the rest of the reloaded guest state."

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2687641&group_id=180599

Check for a valid cr3 address in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs, triple
fault in case of failure.

A pte that is shadowed when the guest EFER.NXE=1 is not valid when
EFER.NXE=0; if bit 63 is set, the pte should cause a fault, and since the
shadow EFER always has NX enabled, this won't happen.

Fix by using a different shadow page table for different EFER.NXE bits.  This
allows vcpus to run correctly with different values of EFER.NXE, and for
transitions on this bit to be handled correctly without requiring a full

Sheng Yang e56d532f20 KVM: Device assignment framework rework
After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework
together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo
suggest to split it into a more elegant way:

1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the
combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific
KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to
enable MSI to INTx convertion.

2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls:
KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ.

This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the
old interface).

Matt T. Yourst 2dea4c84bc KVM: x86: silence preempt warning on kvm_write_guest_time
This issue just appeared in kvm-84 when running on 2.6.28.7 (x86-64)
with PREEMPT enabled.

We're getting syslog warnings like this many (but not all) times qemu
tells KVM to run the VCPU:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
qemu-system-x86/28938

sys_ioctl+0x99/0xa0
system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

As it turns out, the call trace is messed up due to gcc's inlining, but
I isolated the problem anyway: kvm_write_guest_time() is being used in a
non-thread-safe manner on preemptable kernels.

Basically kvm_write_guest_time()'s body needs to be surrounded by
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), since the kernel won't let us
query any per-CPU data (indirectly using smp_processor_id()) without
preemption disabled. The attached patch fixes this issue by disabling
preemption inside kvm_write_guest_time().

is harmless]

Avi Kivity a2edf57f51 KVM: Fix PDPTR reloading on CR4 writes
The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any
of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change.  Linux relies on this
behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot.

The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes
to PSE and PGE.

This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code
runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem
ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Avi Kivity 399ec807dd KVM: Userspace controlled irq routing
Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC).  This is insufficient for several reasons:

- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
  ioapics

This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table.  The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.

This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if

Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so
gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time:

Jan Kiszka 42dbaa5a05 KVM: x86: Virtualize debug registers
So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.

This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.

This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.

Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...

Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.

Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

Jan Kiszka d0bfb940ec KVM: New guest debug interface
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.

To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.

The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

Alexander Graf d80174745b KVM: SVM: Only allow setting of EFER_SVME when CPUID SVM is set
Userspace has to tell the kernel module somehow that nested SVM should be used.
The easiest way that doesn't break anything I could think of is to implement

if (cpuid & svm)
    allow write to efer
else
    deny write to efer

Old userspaces mask the SVM capability bit, so they don't break.
In order to find out that the SVM capability is set, I had to split the
kvm_emulate_cpuid into a finding and an emulating part.

(introduced in v6)
