KVM: VMX: move vmx.h to include/asm

2008-12-31T14:52:27+00:00

vmx.h will be used by core code that is independent of KVM, so I am moving it outside the arch/x86/kvm directory. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Move private memory slot position

2008-12-31T14:51:46+00:00

PCI device assignment would map guest MMIO spaces as separate slot, so it is possible that the device has more than 2 MMIO spaces and overwrite current private memslot. The patch move private memory slot to the top of userspace visible memory slots. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Add PAT support for EPT

2008-12-31T14:51:44+00:00

GUEST_PAT support is a new feature introduced by Intel Core i7 architecture. With this, cpu would save/load guest and host PAT automatically, for EPT memory type in guest depends on MSR_IA32_CR_PAT. Also add save/restore for MSR_IA32_CR_PAT. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Set IGMT bit in EPT entry

2008-11-11T19:00:37+00:00

There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory, which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to inconsistent cache attribute. The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).

x86: Move FEATURE_CONTROL bits to msr-index.h

2008-10-15T08:16:14+00:00

For MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL is already there. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

KVM: VMX: Rename IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL bits

KVM: VMX: Rename misnamed msr bits

2008-10-15T08:13:57+00:00

MSR_IA32_FEATURE_LOCKED is just a bit in fact, which shouldn't be prefixed with MSR_. So is MSR_IA32_FEATURE_VMXON_ENABLED. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

Merge branch 'x86/unify-cpu-detect' into x86-v28-for-linus-phase4-D

KVM: VMX: Always return old for clear_flush_young() when using EPT

2008-09-11T08:48:19+00:00

As well as discard fake accessed bit and dirty bit of EPT. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

x86: move VMX MSRs to msr-index.h

2008-09-10T12:00:55+00:00

They are hardware specific MSRs, and we would use them in virtualization feature detection later. Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
