# 270071 16-Aug-2014 grehan

MFC r267216
Add ioctl(VM_REINIT) to reinitialize the virtual machine state maintained
by vmm.ko. This allows the virtual machine to be restarted without having
to destroy it first.


# 270070 16-Aug-2014 grehan

MFC r266933
Activate vcpus from bhyve(8) using the ioctl VM_ACTIVATE_CPU instead of doing
it implicitly in vmm.ko.

266708,266724,266934,266935,268521:
Emulation of the "ins" and "outs" instructions.

Various fixes for translating guest linear addresses to guest physical
addresses.


# 268972 22-Jul-2014 jhb

MFC 266125:
Implement a PCI interrupt router to route PCI legacy INTx interrupts to
the legacy 8259A PICs.


# 268935 21-Jul-2014 jhb

MFC 263780,264516,265062,265101,265203,265364:
Add an ioctl to suspend a virtual machine (VM_SUSPEND).

Add logic in the HLT exit handler to detect if the guest has put all vcpus
to sleep permanently by executing a HLT with interrupts disabled.

When this condition is detected the guest with be suspended with a reason of
VM_SUSPEND_HALT and the bhyve(8) process will exit.

This logic can be disabled via the tunable 'hw.vmm.halt_detection'.

264648,264650,264651,266572,267558:
Flesh out the AT PIC and 8254 PIT emulations and move them into the kernel.


# 267427 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 261638,262144,262506,266765:
Add virtualized XSAVE support to bhyve which permits guests to use XSAVE and
XSAVE-enabled features like AVX.
- Store a per-cpu guest xcr0 register and handle xsetbv VM exits by emulating
the instruction.
- Only expose XSAVE to guests if XSAVE is enabled in the host. Only expose
a subset of XSAVE features currently supported by the guest and for which
the proper emulation of xsetbv is known. Currently this includes X87, SSE,
AVX, AVX-512, and Intel MPX.
- Add support for injecting hardware exceptions into the guest and use this
to trigger exceptions in the guest for invalid xsetbv operations instead
of potentially faulting in the host.
- Queue pending exceptions in the 'struct vcpu' instead of directly updating
the processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered
right before entering the guest.
- Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.
- Expose a subset of known-safe features from leaf 0 of the structured
extended features to guests if they are supported on the host including
RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE, BMI1/2, AVX2, AVX-512, HLE, ERMS, and RTM. Aside
from AVX-512, these features are all new instructions available for use
in ring 3 with no additional hypervisor changes needed.


# 267393 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 260239,261268,265058:
Expand the support for PCI INTx interrupts including providing interrupt
routing information for INTx interrupts to I/O APIC pins and enabling
INTx interrupts in the virtio and AHCI backends.


# 262350 22-Feb-2014 jhb

MFC 258859,259081,259085,259205,259213,259275,259482,259537,259702,259779:
Several changes to the local APIC support in bhyve:
- Rename 'vm_interrupt_hostcpu()' to 'vcpu_notify_event()'.
- If a vcpu disables its local apic and then executes a 'HLT' then spin
down the vcpu and destroy its thread context. Also modify the 'HLT'
processing to ignore pending interrupts in the IRR if interrupts have
been disabled by the guest. The interrupt cannot be injected into the
guest in any case so resuming it is futile.
- Use callout(9) to drive the vlapic timer instead of clocking it on each
VM exit.
- When the guest is bringing up the APs in the x2APIC mode a write to the
ICR register will now trigger a return to userspace with an exitcode of
VM_EXITCODE_SPINUP_AP.
- Change the vlapic timer lock to be a spinlock because the vlapic can be
accessed from within a critical section (vm run loop) when guest is using
x2apic mode.
- Fix the vlapic version register.
- Add a command to bhyvectl to inject an NMI on a specific vcpu.
- Add an API to deliver message signalled interrupts to vcpus. This allows
callers to treat the MSI 'addr' and 'data' fields as opaque and also lets
bhyve implement multiple destination modes: physical, flat and clustered.
- Rename the ambiguously named 'vm_setup_msi()' and 'vm_setup_msix()' to
'vm_setup_pptdev_msi()' and 'vm_setup_pptdev_msix()' respectively.
- Consolidate the virtual apic initialization in a single function:
vlapic_reset()
- Add a generic routine to trigger an LVT interrupt that supports both
fixed and NMI delivery modes.
- Add an ioctl and bhyvectl command to trigger local interrupts inside a
guest. In particular, a global NMI similar to that raised by SERR# or
PERR# can be simulated by asserting LINT1 on all vCPUs.
- Extend the LVT table in the vCPU local APIC to support CMCI.
- Flesh out the local APIC error reporting a bit to cache errors and
report them via ESR when ESR is written to. Add support for asserting
the error LVT when an error occurs. Raise illegal vector errors when
attempting to signal an invalid vector for an interrupt or when sending
an IPI.
- Export table entries in the MADT and MP Table advertising the stock x86
config of LINT0 set to ExtInt and LINT1 wired to NMI.


# 261088 23-Jan-2014 jhb

MFC 257422,257661,258075,258476,258494,258579,258609,258699:
Several enhancements to the I/O APIC support in bhyve including:
- Move the I/O APIC device model from userspace into vmm.ko and add
ioctls to assert and deassert I/O APIC pins.
- Add HPET device emulation including a single timer block with 8 timers.
- Remove the 'vdev' abstraction.

# 259073 07-Dec-2013 peter

Hoist all the mergeinfo up to the root in preparation for enforcing merges
to the root only. All MFC's were rerecorded to the root.

Going forward, if an MFC includes mergeinfo, it will need to be made to
the root and committed from the root. Merges with --ignore-ancestry
or diff | patch can go anywhere.

The mergeinfo in HEAD is in a bad state from years of neglect and manual
tampering and this was branched into 10.x. This confuses the coalescing
code and prevents it from doing its job.
