Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] hvf: stability fixes for HVF
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2019 15:55:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1575330463.git.dirty@apple.com> (raw)

The following patches fix stability issues with running QEMU on Apple
Hypervisor Framework (HVF):
- non-RAM, non-ROMD areas need to trap so accesses can be correctly
  emulated.
- Current TSC synchronization implementation is insufficient: when
  running with more than 1 core, TSC values can go backwards.  Until
  a correct implementation can be written, remove calls to
  hv_vm_sync_tsc().  Pass through TSC to guest OS.
- Fix REX emulation in relation to legacy prefixes.
- More correctly match SDM when setting CR0 and PDPTE registers.
- Previous implementation in hvf_inject_interrupts() would always inject
  VMCS_INTR_T_SWINTR even when VMCS_INTR_T_HWINTR was required.  Now
  correctly determine when VMCS_INTR_T_HWINTR is appropriate versus
  VMCS_INTR_T_SWINTR.  Under heavy loads, interrupts got misrouted.

Changes in v3:
- Change previous code which saved interrupt/exception type in
  hvf_store_events() to inject later in hvf_inject_interrupts().
  Now, hvf_inject_interrupts() will correctly determine when it's appropriate
  to inject VMCS_INTR_T_HWINTR versus VMCS_INTR_T_SWINTR.  From feedback by
  Paolo Bonzini to make code more similar to KVM model.

Changes in v2:
- Fix code style errors.

Cameron Esfahani (5):
  hvf: non-RAM, non-ROMD memory ranges are now correctly mapped in
  hvf: remove TSC synchronization code because it isn't fully complete
  hvf: correctly handle REX prefix in relation to legacy prefixes
  hvf: more accurately match SDM when setting CR0 and PDPTE registers
  hvf: correctly inject VMCS_INTR_T_HWINTR versus VMCS_INTR_T_SWINTR.
