VMX initializes the TSC offset for each vcpu at different times, and also reinitializes it for vcpus other than 0 on APIC SIPI message. This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if the host is good. Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time: http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg02955.html http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2025534&group_id=180599&atid=893831 Fix it by initializating the offset of each vcpu relative to vm creation time, and moving it from vmx_vcpu_reset to vmx_vcpu_setup, out of the APIC MP init path.

The AMD SVM instruction family all overload the 0f 01 /3 opcode, further multiplexing on the three r/m bits. But the code decided that anything that isn't a vmmcall must be an lidt (which shares the 0f 01 /3 opcode, for the case that mod = 3). Fix by aborting emulation if this isn't a vmmcall.

If cr4.pge is cleared, we ought to treat any ptes in the page as non-global. This allows us to remove the check from set_spte(). Signed-off-by: -
Avi Kivity authored
Don't allow a vcpu with cr4.pge cleared to use a shadow page created with cr4.pge set; this might cause a cr3 switch not to sync ptes that have the global bit set (the global bit has no effect if !cr4.pge). This can only occur on smp with different cr4.pge settings for different vcpus (since a cr4 change will resync the shadow ptes), but there's no cost to being correct here. Signed-off-by: -
Avi Kivity authored
Instead of "calculating" it on every shadow page allocation, set it once when switching modes, and copy it when allocating pages. This doesn't buy us much, but sets up the stage for inheriting more information related to the mmu setup. Signed-off-by: -

Add the remaining bits to make use of debug registers also for guest debugging, thus enabling the use of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints. Signed-off-by:

Jan Kiszka authored
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. Signed-off-by:

When single-stepping over STI and MOV SS, we must clear the corresponding interruptibility bits in the guest state. Otherwise vmentry fails as it then expects bit 14 (BS) in pending debug exceptions being set, but that's not correct for the guest debugging case. Note that clearing those bits is safe as we check for interruptibility based on the original state and do not inject interrupts or NMIs if guest interruptibility was blocked. Signed-off-by:

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.

VMX differentiates between processor and software generated exceptions when injecting them into the guest. Extend vmx_queue_exception accordingly (and refactor related constants) so that we can use this service reliably for the new guest debugging framework. Signed-off-by:

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.

This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run. So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it. We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less than the first level guest. v2 implements the following improvements: - fixes the CPL check - does not allocate iopm when not used - remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags v3: - make use of the new permission checking - add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK v4: - use host page backed hsave v5: - remove IOPM merging code v6: - save cr4 so PAE l1 guests work v7: - return 0 on vmrun so we check the MSRs too - fix MSR check to use the correct variable Acked-by:

This patch implements the GIF flag and the clgi and stgi instructions that set this flag. Only if the flag is set (default), interrupts can be received by the CPU. To keep the information about that somewhere, this patch adds a new hidden flags vector. that is used to store information that does not go into the vmcb, but is SVM specific. I tried to write some code to make -no-kvm-irqchip work too, but the first level guest won't even boot with that atm, so I ditched it. v2 moves the hflags to x86 generic code v3 makes use of the new permission helper v6 only enables interrupt_window if GIF=1 Acked-by:

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback. Signed-off-by:

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected. Reported-by:

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag. Signed-off-by:
