* KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pteAvi Kivity2008-03-041-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

* KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.Izik Eidus2008-03-041-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

* KVM: MMU: Move kvm_free_some_pages() into critical sectionAvi Kivity2008-01-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | If some other cpu steals mmu pages between our check and an attempt to allocate, we can run out of mmu pages. Fix by moving the check into the same critical section as the allocation. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlockMarcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock spinlock. Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias and memslot changes. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: MMU: Avoid calling gfn_to_page() in mmu_set_spte()Avi Kivity2008-01-301-5/+18
| | | | | | | | | | Since gfn_to_page() is a sleeping function, and we want to make the core mmu spinlocked, we need to pass the page from the walker context (which can sleep) to the shadow context (which cannot).

* KVM: Add kvm_read_guest_atomic()Marcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-12/+16
| | | | | | | | In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic() and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page(). Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkersMarcelo Tosatti2008-01-301-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code, only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling. Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use mmap_sem in read-mode. And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

* KVM: Move arch dependent files to new directory arch/x86/kvm/Avi Kivity2008-01-301-0/+461
This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
