* KVM: PPC: Enable Book3S_32 KVM buildingAlexander Graf2010-05-171-0/+18
| | | | | | | | Now that we have all the bits and pieces in place, let's enable building of the Book3S_32 target. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: PPC: Use CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S defineAlexander Graf2010-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Upstream recently added a new name for PPC64: Book3S_64. So instead of using CONFIG_PPC64 we should use CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S consotently. That makes understanding the code easier (I hope). Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: PPC: Use KVM_BOOK3S_HANDLERAlexander Graf2010-05-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | So far we had a lot of conditional code on CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER. As we're moving towards common code between 32 and 64 bits, most of these ifdefs can be moved to a more generic term define, called CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HANDLER. This patch adds the new generic config option and moves ifdefs over. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

| * KVM: powerpc: Show timing option only on embeddedAlexander Graf2010-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Embedded PowerPC KVM has an exit timing implementation to track and evaluate how much time was spent in which exit path. For Book3S, we don't implement it. So let's not expose it as a config option either. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* | vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio serverMichael S. Tsirkin2010-01-151-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds in userspace) - write logging is supported (good for migration) - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm) common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself. What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls. Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm. How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc. Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes. Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU utilization. Features that I plan to look at in the future: - mergeable buffers - zero copy - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU): what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

* KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statisticsHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).

* KVM: ppc: fix Kconfig constraintsHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-10/+8

* KVM: ppc: Refactor powerpc.c to relocate 440-specific codeHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c. Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function pointers would only add overhead.

* KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM implementationHollis Blanchard2008-04-271-0/+42
This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace support other SoC/board combinations should work.) See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.
