[GIT PULL 00/24] KVM: s390: fixes and features for kvm/next (3.20)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Paolo,

here is the pull request for the RFC from last week.
Patch 1 got a new patch description (Paolo)
Patch 14 changed UL to ULL (Heiko)
Patch 22-24 are new fixes.

There is one interesting problem that popped up when we acidentially
enabled ntp. All KVM architectures use hrtimers for wakeups. These
timers follow adjclock of the host, causing several interesting issues.

Providing a RAW variant of these timers might be the right thing to do.
David will look into this. For now we will just make sure that things
don't break on s390. (x86 seems to have no hangs, but wakeups might
be too early or too late there as well).

The mail thread will only contain changed/new patches.
Please consider for 3.20.

The following changes since commit bab5bb398273bb37547a185f7b344b37c700d0b9:

  KVM: s390: remove redundant setting of interrupt type (2015-01-23 13:25:42 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM: s390: fixes and features for kvm/next (3.20)

1. Generic
- sparse warning (make function static)
- optimize locking
- bugfixes for interrupt injection
- fix MVPG addressing modes

2. hrtimer/wakeup fun
A recent change can cause KVM hangs if adjtime is used in the host.
The hrtimer might wake up too early or too late. Too early is fatal
as vcpu_block will see that the wakeup condition is not met and
sleep again. This CPU might never wake up again.
This series addresses this problem. adjclock slowing down the host
clock will result in too late wakeups. This will require more work.
In addition to that we also change the hrtimer from REALTIME to
MONOTONIC to avoid similar problems with timedatectl set-time.

3. sigp rework
We will move all "slow" sigps to QEMU (protected with a capability that
can be enabled) to avoid several races between concurrent SIGP orders.

4. Optimize the shadow page table
Provide an interface to announce the maximum guest size. The kernel
will use that to make the pagetable 2,3,4 (or theoretically) 5 levels.

5. Provide an interface to set the guest TOD
We now use two vm attributes instead of two oneregs, as oneregs are
vcpu ioctl and we don't want to call them from other threads.

6. Protected key functions
The real HMC allows to enable/disable protected key CPACF functions.
Lets provide an implementation + an interface for QEMU to activate
this the protected key instructions.
