[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: add ioeventfd support
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Portability: split kvm_vcpu_ioctl
This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Portability: split kvm_vcpu_ioctl
This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: add ioeventfd support
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:

The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

KVM: add ioeventfd support
ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.
