2022-03-29Documentation: KVM: add separate directories for architecture-specific ↵Paolo Bonzini
documentation ARM already has an arm/ subdirectory, but s390 and x86 do not even though they have a relatively large number of files specific to them. Create new directories in Documentation/virt/kvm for these two architectures as well. While at it, group the API documentation and the developer documentation in the table of contents.

2021-06-17KVM: X86: Introduce KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercallAshish Kalra
This hypercall is used by the SEV guest to notify a change in the page encryption status to the hypervisor. The hypercall should be invoked only when the encryption attribute is changed from encrypted -> decrypted and vice versa. By default all guest pages are considered encrypted. The hypercall exits to userspace to manage the guest shared regions and integrate with the userspace VMM's migration code.

2020-10-28x86/kvm: Reserve KVM_FEATURE_MSI_EXT_DEST_IDDavid Woodhouse
No functional change; just reserve the feature bit for now so that VMMs can start to implement it. This will allow the host to indicate that MSI emulation supports 15-bit destination IDs, allowing up to 32768 CPUs without interrupt remapping. cf. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11816693/ for qemu Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Message-Id: <4cd59bed05f4b7410d3d1ffd1e997ab53683874d.camel@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2020-10-23Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvmLinus Torvalds
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses. For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it. Other updates: ARM: - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2 - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables - Support of PMU event filtering - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation PPC: - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup - Minor cleanups and bugfixes x86: - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs - INVPCID support on AMD - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (232 commits) kvm: x86/mmu: NX largepage recovery for TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Don't clear write flooding count for direct roots kvm: x86/mmu: Support MMIO in the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support write protection for nesting in tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support disabling dirty logging for the tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support changed pte notifier in tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Add access tracking for tdp_mmu kvm: x86/mmu: Support invalidate range MMU notifier for TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate struct kvm_mmu_pages for all pages in TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Add TDP MMU PF handler kvm: x86/mmu: Remove disallowed_hugepage_adjust shadow_walk_iterator arg kvm: x86/mmu: Support zapping SPTEs in the TDP MMU KVM: Cache as_id in kvm_memory_slot kvm: x86/mmu: Add functions to handle changed TDP SPTEs kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate and free TDP MMU roots kvm: x86/mmu: Init / Uninit the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Introduce tdp_iter KVM: mmu: extract spte.h and spte.c KVM: mmu: Separate updating a PTE from kvm_set_pte_rmapp ...

2019-07-24Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virtChristoph Hellwig
Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.
