2020-10-28x86/kvm: Reserve KVM_FEATURE_MSI_EXT_DEST_IDDavid Woodhouse1-0/+4
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>

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 Hellwig1-0/+107
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.
