A guest context switch to an uncached cr3 can require allocation of
shadow pages, but we only recycle shadow pages in kvm_mmu_page_fault().Move shadow page recycling to mmu_topup_memory_caches(), which is called
from both the page fault handler and from guest cr3 reload.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it.
Unfortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is called with interrupts
disabled, which means we can't use smp_call_function_single().Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu,
so we don't need to use the function at all and can simply call
hardware_disable() directly.Tested-by: Paolo Ornati

More fallout from the writeback fixes: debug register transfer
instructions do their own writeback and thus need to disable the general
writeback mechanism.This fixes oopses and some guest failures on AMD machines (the Intel
variant decodes the instruction in hardware and thus does not need
emulation).Cc: Alistair John Strachan

0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does
not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those
instructions.This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD.

Testing the wrong bit caused kvm not to disable nx on the guest when it is
disabled on the host (an mmu optimization relies on the nx bits being the
same in the guest and host).This allows Windows to boot when nx is disabled on te host (e.g. when
host pae is disabled).Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

This reverts commit a3c870bdce4d34332ebdba7eb9969592c4c6b243. While it
does save useless updates, it (probably) defeats the fork detector, causing
a massive performance loss.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

The kvm mmu uses page->private on shadow page tables; so does slub, and

The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where
they should be kvm-wide. This causes hangs starting X on guest smp.Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific.
Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit. We
may have to revisit this later.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

We need to distinguish between large page shadows which have the nx bit set
and those which don't. The problem shows up when booting a newer smp Linux
kernel, where the trampoline page (which is in real mode, which uses the
same shadow pages as large pages) is using the same mapping as a kernel data
page, which is mapped using nx, causing kvm to spin on that page.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

The hotplug IPIs can be called from the cpu on which we are currently

By keeping track of which cpus have virtualization enabled, we

When writing to normal memory and the memory area is unchanged the write
can be safely skipped, avoiding the costly kvm_mmu_pte_write.Signed-Off-By: Luca Tettamanti
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity -
When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the
write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the
write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This
optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without
X86_GOOD_APIC.Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless
it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions
may disable the writeback).Signed-Off-By: Luca Tettamanti

If the time stamp counter goes backwards, a guest delay loop can become
infinite. This can happen if a vcpu is migrated to another cpu, where
the counter has a lower value than the first cpu.Since we're doing an IPI to the first cpu anyway, we can use that to pick
up the old tsc, and use that to calculate the adjustment we need to make
to the tsc offset.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it
must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by:- setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry

exits before we continueSigned-off-by: Avi Kivity
