Here are a range of MIPS KVM T&E fixes, preferably for v3.16 but I know it's probably a bit late now. Changes are pretty minimal though since v1 so please consider. They can also be found on my kvm_mips_queue branch (and the kvm_mips_timer_v2 tag) here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/kvm-mips.git They originally served to allow it to work better on Ingenic XBurst cores which have some peculiarities which break non-portable assumptions in the MIPS KVM implementation (patches 1-4, 13). Fixing guest CP0_Count emulation to work without a running host CP0_Count (patch 13) however required a rewrite of the timer emulation code to use the kernel monotonic time instead, which needed doing anyway since basing it directly off the host CP0_Count was broken. Various bugs were fixed in the process (patches 10-12) and improvements made thanks to valuable feedback from Paolo Bonzini for the last QEMU MIPS/KVM patchset (patches 5-7, 15-16). Finally there are some misc cleanups which I did along the way (patches 17-23). Only the first patch (fixes MIPS KVM with 4K pages) is marked for stable. For KVM to work on XBurst it needs the timer rework which is a fairly complex change, so there's little point marking any of the XBurst specific changes for stable. All feedback welcome! Patches 1-4: Fix KVM/MIPS with 4K pages, missing RDHWR SYNCI (XBurst), unmoving CP0_Random (XBurst). Patches 5-9: Add EPC, Count, Compare, UserLocal, HWREna guest CP0 registers to KVM register ioctl interface. Patches 10-12: Fix a few potential races relating to timers. Patches 13-14: Rewrite guest timer emulation to use ktime_get(). Patches 15-16: Add KVM virtual registers for controlling guest timer, including master timer disable, and timer frequency. Patches 17-23: Cleanups. Changes in v2 (tag:kvm_mips_timer_v2): Patchset: - Drop patch 4 "MIPS: KVM: Fix CP0_EBASE KVM register id" (David Daney). - Drop patch 14 "MIPS: KVM: Add nanosecond count bias KVM register". The COUNT_CTL and COUNT_RESUME API is clean and sufficient. - Add missing access to UserLocal and HWREna guest CP0 registers (patches 15 and 16). - Add export of local_flush_icache_range (patch 2). Patch 12 MIPS: KVM: Migrate hrtimer to follow VCPU - Move kvm_mips_migrate_count() into kvm_tlb.c to fix a link error when KVM is built as a module, since kvm_tlb.c is built statically and cannot reference symbols in kvm_mips_emul.c. Patch 15 MIPS: KVM: Add master disable count interface - Make KVM_REG_MIPS_COUNT_RESUME writable too so that userland can control timer using master DC and without bias register. New values are rejected if they refer to a monotonic time in the future. - Expand on description of KVM_REG_MIPS_COUNT_RESUME about the effects of the register and that it can be written. v1 (tag:kvm_mips_timer_v1): see http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=139843936102657&w=2 James Hogan (23): MIPS: KVM: Allocate at least 16KB for exception handlers MIPS: Export local_flush_icache_range for KVM MIPS: KVM: Use local_flush_icache_range to fix RI on XBurst MIPS: KVM: Use tlb_write_random MIPS: KVM: Add CP0_EPC KVM register access MIPS: KVM: Move KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG definitions into kvm_host.h MIPS: KVM: Add CP0_Count/Compare KVM register access MIPS: KVM: Add CP0_UserLocal KVM register access MIPS: KVM: Add CP0_HWREna KVM register access MIPS: KVM: Deliver guest interrupts after local_irq_disable() MIPS: KVM: Fix timer race modifying guest CP0_Cause MIPS: KVM: Migrate hrtimer to follow VCPU MIPS: KVM: Rewrite count/compare timer emulation MIPS: KVM: Override guest kernel timer frequency directly MIPS: KVM: Add master disable count interface MIPS: KVM: Add count frequency KVM register MIPS: KVM: Make kvm_mips_comparecount_{func,wakeup} static MIPS: KVM: Whitespace fixes in kvm_mips_callbacks MIPS: KVM: Fix kvm_debug bit-rottage MIPS: KVM: Remove ifdef DEBUG around kvm_debug MIPS: KVM: Quieten kvm_info() logging MIPS: KVM: Remove redundant NULL checks before kfree() MIPS: KVM: Remove redundant semicolon arch/mips/Kconfig | 12 +- arch/mips/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 183 ++++++++++--- arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 35 +++ arch/mips/kvm/kvm_locore.S | 32 --- arch/mips/kvm/kvm_mips.c | 140 +++++----- arch/mips/kvm/kvm_mips_dyntrans.c | 15 +- arch/mips/kvm/kvm_mips_emul.c | 557 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- arch/mips/kvm/kvm_tlb.c | 77 +++--- arch/mips/kvm/kvm_trap_emul.c | 86 +++++- arch/mips/mm/cache.c | 1 + arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-time.c | 14 +- 11 files changed, 920 insertions(+), 232 deletions(-) Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sanjay Lal <sanjayl@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- 1.9.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
