To properly forward a MCE occured while the guest is running to the host, we have to intercept this exception and call the host handler by hand. This is implemented by this patch. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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.

Zdenek reported a bug where a looping "dmsetup status" eventually hangs on SMP guests. The problem is that kvm_mmu_get_page() prepopulates the shadow MMU before write protecting the guest page tables. By doing so, it leaves a window open where the guest can mark a pte as present while the host has shadow cached such pte as "notrap". Accesses to such address will fault in the guest without the host having a chance to fix the situation. Fix by moving the write protection before the pte prefetch.

If the accessed bit is not set, the guest has never accessed this page (at least through this spte), so there's no need to mark the page accessed. This provides more accurate data for the eviction algortithm. Noted by Andrea Arcangeli. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

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.

This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized. We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line mode only console.
