b2312f059c KVM: ppc: Add DCR access information to struct kvm_run
Device Control Registers are essentially another address space found on PowerPC
4xx processors, analogous to PIO on x86. DCRs are always 32 bits, and can be
identified by a 32-bit number. We forward most DCR accesses to userspace for
emulation (with the exception of CPR0 registers, which can be read directly
for simplicity in timebase frequency determination).

e28acfea5d KVM: s390: intercepts for diagnose instructions
This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
  for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself

In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.

ba5c1e9b6c KVM: s390: interrupt subsystem, cpu timer, waitpsw
This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic)
including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait
(similar to in kernel hlt).

In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling
for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions.

This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both
the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is
issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.

The following interrupts are supported:
SIGP STOP       - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu
SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a
                  (stopped) remote cpu
INT EMERGENCY   - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed
                  and for smp_call_function() in the guest.
PROGRAM INT     - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal
                  instruction and friends
RESTART         - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu
INT VIRTIO      - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation
INT SERVICE     - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system
                  service processor

struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting
an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt
type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current
operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390.

kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a
disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case
of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value
and sleep on a wait queue.

[christian: change virtio interrupt to 0x2603]

8f2abe6a1e KVM: s390: sie intercept handling
This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts
are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(),
or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP.
In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support,
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return
-EREMOTE.

The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch:
handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support
  at all
handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to
  userland after updating our vcpu state
handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request
  to userland

b0c632db63 KVM: s390: arch backend for the kvm kernel module
This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
 (aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.

The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c    similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
                            arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
                            sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S      assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
                            context via SIE, and switches world before and after                            that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
                            virtual machines on the mainframe
include/asm-s390/kvm.h      defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
                            guest register content
arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h     functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h    header file for kvm-s390 internals, extended by
                            later patches

674eea0fc4 KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm property
One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest
common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm.  As such, it is
useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first.

Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is
to move it to the device ioctl handler.  The capability identifier is also
changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully.

0771671749 KVM: Enhance guest cpuid management
The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:

 - No way to tell which features the host supports

  While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
  need explicit support.  That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
  before it is passed to the guest.

 - No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries

  Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
  state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
  input returns different output).  The current cpuid machinery only
  supports keying on eax.

 - No support for save/restore/migrate

  The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
  be saved or migrated.

This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:

 - KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
   supports

 - KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table

 - KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state

[avi: fix original KVM_SET_CPUID not removing nx on non-nx hosts as it did
      before]

97222cc831 KVM: Emulate local APIC in kernel
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.

24cbc7e9cb KVM: Future-proof the exit information union ABI
Note that as the size of struct kvm_run is not part of the ABI, we can add
things at the end.

2ff81f70b5 KVM: Remove unused 'instruction_length'
As we no longer emulate in userspace, this is meaningless.  We don't
compute it on SVM anyway.

02c8320972 KVM: Don't require explicit indication of completion of mmio or pio
It is illegal not to return from a pio or mmio request without completing
it, as mmio or pio is an atomic operation.  Therefore, we can simplify
the userspace interface by avoiding the completion indication.

e8207547d2 KVM: Add physical memory aliasing feature
With this, we can specify that accesses to one physical memory range will
be remapped to another.  This is useful for the vga window at 0xa0000 which
is used as a movable window into the (much larger) framebuffer.

039576c03c KVM: Avoid guest virtual addresses in string pio userspace interface
The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions.  This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.

Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there.  The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

07c45a366d KVM: Allow kernel to select size of mmap() buffer
This allows us to store offsets in the kernel/user kvm_run area, and be
sure that userspace has them mapped.  As offsets can be outside the
kvm_run struct, userspace has no way of knowing how much to mmap.
