* KVM: x86: KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGSKen Hofsass2018-03-061-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit implements an enhanced x86 version of S390 KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS functionality. KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers without having to call SET/GET_*REGS”. This reduces ioctl overhead which is particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state modifications (e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions). Originally implemented upstream for the S390, the x86 differences follow: - userspace can select the register sets to be synchronized with kvm_run using bit-flags in the kvm_valid_registers and kvm_dirty_registers fields. - vcpu_events is available in addition to the regs and sregs register sets.

* License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

* kvm: make KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_PAGE_OFFSET publicPaolo Bonzini2017-04-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Its value has never changed; we might as well make it part of the ABI instead of using the return value of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO). Because PPC does not always make MMIO available, the code has to be made dependent on CONFIG_KVM_MMIO rather than KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_PAGE_OFFSET.

Userspace can predicate the availability of the new fields and ioctls on a new capability, KVM_CAP_X86_SMM, which is added at the end of the patch series.

* KVM: x86: Support for disabling quirksNadav Amit2015-05-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled: 1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot 2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would therefore be disabled by QEMU.

* kvm: Add KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUIDBorislav Petkov2013-10-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a kvm ioctl which states which system functionality kvm emulates. The format used is that of CPUID and we return the corresponding CPUID bits set for which we do emulate functionality. Make sure ->padding is being passed on clean from userspace so that we can use it for something in the future, after the ioctl gets cast in stone. s/kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid/kvm_dev_ioctl_get_cpuid/ while at it.
