Marcelo Tosatti [Wed, 24 Sep 2008 23:28:34 +0000 (20:28 -0300)]
KVM: PIC: enhance IPI avoidance

The PIC code makes little effort to avoid kvm_vcpu_kick(), resulting in
unnecessary guest exits in some conditions.

For example, if the timer interrupt is routed through the IOAPIC, IRR
for IRQ 0 will get set but not cleared, since the APIC is handling the
acks.

This means that everytime an interrupt < 16 is triggered, the priority
logic will find IRQ0 pending and send an IPI to vcpu0 (in case IRQ0 is
not masked, which is Linux's case).

Introduce a new variable isr_ack to represent the IRQ's for which the
guest has been signalled / cleared the ISR. Use it to avoid more than
one IPI per trigger-ack cycle, in addition to the avoidance when ISR is
set in get_priority().

2. Use a union{} member for all of the case variables. This

KVM: pci device assignment

Based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com>

This patch adds support for handling PCI devices that are assigned to
the guest.

The device to be assigned to the guest is registered in the host kernel
and interrupt delivery is handled.  If a device is already assigned, or
the device driver for it is still loaded on the host, the device
assignment is failed by conveying a -EBUSY reply to the userspace.

Devices that share their interrupt line are not supported at the moment.

By itself, this patch will not make devices work within the guest.
The VT-d extension is required to enable the device to perform DMA.
Another alternative is PVDMA.

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do
calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes.
This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should,
and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a
nasty bug.

Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it
preset.

KVM: PIT: fix injection logic and count

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases:

1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time
kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set.
This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if
guest executes hlt at this point).

2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking
around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single
pt->pending count.

Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq
has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of
pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.
