According to Intel Software Developer's Manual, Vol. 3B, Appendix H.4.2, exit qualification should be of natural width. However, current code uses u64 as the data type for this register, which occasionally introduces invalid value to VMExit handling logics. This patch fixes this bug. I have tested Windows and Linux guest on i386 host, and they can boot successfully with this patch. Signed-off-by: Qing He <qing.he@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Before preempt notifiers, kvm needed to allocate memory with GFP_NOWAIT so as not to have to enable preemption and take a heavyweight exit. On oom, we'd fall back to a GFP_KERNEL allocation. With preemption notifiers, we can do a GFP_KERNEL allocation, and perform the heavyweight exit only if the kernel decides to put us to sleep. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The mutex->splinlock convertion alllows us to make some code simplifications. As we can keep the lock longer, we don't have to release it and then have to check if the environment has not been modified before re-taking it. We can remove kvm->busy and kvm->memory_config_version. Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

invlpg shouldn't fetch the "src" address, since it may not be valid, however SVM's "solution" which neuters emulation of all group 7 instruction is horrible and breaks kvm-lite. The simplest fix is to put a special check in for invlpg. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

This patch changes the PIC interrupts delivery. Now it is only delivered to vcpu0 when either condition is met (on vcpu0): 1. local APIC is hardware disabled 2. LVT0 is unmasked and configured to delivery mode ExtInt It fixes the 2x faster wall clock on x86_64 and SMP i386 Linux guests Signed-off-by: Eddie (Yaozu) Dong <eddie.dong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Qing He <qing.he@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

APIC timer IRQ is set every time when a certain period expires at host time, but the guest may be descheduled at that time and thus the irq be overwritten by later fire. This patch keep track of firing irq numbers and decrease only when the IRQ is injected to guest or buffered in APIC.

This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little delay, but works fine.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm. It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without going through userspace.

vmx_load_host_state() bundles fs, gs, ldt, and tss reloading into one in the hope that it is infrequent. With smp guests, fs reloading is frequent due to fs being used by threads.

We need to check for signals inside the critical section, otherwise a signal can be sent which we will not notice. Also move the check before entry, so that if the signal happens before the first entry, we exit immediately instead of waiting for something to happen to the guest.
