There was a formatting issue with mandoc showing the
literal "Ss" macros. I reported this bug to mandoc since groff
didn't have same formatting. It was recommended to simplify
the formatting due to the weird feature.
Note because of this for groff I didn't use the Ux macro but spelled
out UNIX literally for these subsection headers
(since the macro reset the subsection formatting which was why
the Ss macro was repeated before to reactivate it).
It's more pedantically correct to check RW_WRITE_LOCKED before
obtaining the thread id of the owner. And since there must be an
owner annotate the guard NULL check as unlinkely.
No functional change intended. Ok ad@.
They were brought along with the rwlock flags but never used and never
even adapted to the new home (the struct member name is different
here). I looked at adapting and using them, but they don't really
help readability that much and there are cases where we need to deal
with "fused" owner values anyway and so can't use them.
rwlock uses lower bits of a thread pointer for flags in the lock owner
field. Assert that the pointer is properly aligned and those bits are
actually free to use. This may not be the case when a program uses
its own allocator that can return less aligned pointers.
_SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX. Report no limit for getconf(3). The ressource is
naturally limited by the backing file descriptor, so no separate limit
is necessary. Keep the accounting for debugging as it is part of the
sysctl ABI exposed by the kernel.
match, the expected space is not being added. Problem observed with
"chronyc" and "sqlite3" tab completion. That functionality got
moved to escape_filename() for the !attempted_completion_function
case, but the non-NULL 'attempted_completion_function' case must
also be handled. (Lonnie Abelbeck)
Most noticable, recompute the start of the TLS area for variant I
relative to the TCB. This makes a difference when the segment size and
base alignment don't agree.
not if it has root privileges, but if the /dev/nvmm device was opened with
write permissions. Introduce the undocumented nvmm_root_init() function to
achieve that.
The goal is to simplify the logic and have more granularity, eg if we want
a monitoring agent to access VMs but don't want to give this agent real
root access on the system.
TPR change. This is supported on all Intel CPUs, and not-too-old AMD CPUs.
The reason for wanting this option is that certain OSes (like Win10 64bit)
manage interrupt priority in hardware via CR8 directly, and for these OSes,
the emulator may want to sync its internal TPR state on each change.
Add two new fields in cap.arch, to report the conf capabilities. Report TPR
only on Intel for now, not AMD, because I don't have a recent AMD CPU on
which to test.
- Sync the naming with reality.
- Replace "relevant" by "desired" and "virtualizer" by "emulator", closer
to what I meant.
- Add a "VCPU Configuration" section.
- Add a "Machine Ownership" section.
Remove const from the 2nd argument.
const char ** and char ** are incompatible types and it was a cost to keep
the technically incompatible form for a more purist variation. NetBSD was
almost the last alive OS to still keep the const argument (known leftovers:
Minix and Illumos).
Keep the const form for the internal purposes inside citrus and rump.
Address the build breakage fallout in the same change.
There are no ABI changes.
Change accepted by core@.
- Add 'mach' and 'vcpu' backpointers in the nvmm_io and nvmm_mem
structures.
- Rename 'nvmm_callbacks' to 'nvmm_assist_callbacks'.
- Rename and migrate NVMM_MACH_CONF_CALLBACKS to NVMM_VCPU_CONF_CALLBACKS,
it now becomes per-VCPU.
issues in the libnvmm API.
- Rename NVMM_CAPABILITY_VERSION to NVMM_KERN_VERSION, and check it in
libnvmm. Introduce NVMM_USER_VERSION, for future use.
- In libnvmm, open "/dev/nvmm" as read-only and with O_CLOEXEC. This is to
avoid sharing the VMs with the children if the process forks. In the
NVMM driver, force O_CLOEXEC on open().
- Rename the following things for consistency:
nvmm_exit* -> nvmm_vcpu_exit*
nvmm_event* -> nvmm_vcpu_event*
NVMM_EXIT_* -> NVMM_VCPU_EXIT_*
NVMM_EVENT_INTERRUPT_HW -> NVMM_VCPU_EVENT_INTR
NVMM_EVENT_EXCEPTION -> NVMM_VCPU_EVENT_EXCP
Delete NVMM_EVENT_INTERRUPT_SW, unused already.
- Slightly reorganize the MI/MD definitions, for internal clarity.
- Split NVMM_VCPU_EXIT_MSR in two: NVMM_VCPU_EXIT_{RD,WR}MSR. Also provide
separate u.rdmsr and u.wrmsr fields. This is more consistent with the
other exit reasons.
- Change the types of several variables:
event.type enum -> u_int
event.vector uint64_t -> uint8_t
exit.u.*msr.msr: uint64_t -> uint32_t
exit.u.io.type: enum -> bool
exit.u.io.seg: int -> int8_t
cap.arch.mxcsr_mask: uint64_t -> uint32_t
cap.arch.conf_cpuid_maxops: uint64_t -> uint32_t
- Delete NVMM_VCPU_EXIT_MWAIT_COND, it is AMD-only and confusing, and we
already intercept 'monitor' so it is never armed.
- Introduce vmx_exit_insn() for NVMM-Intel, similar to svm_exit_insn().
The 'npc' field wasn't getting filled properly during certain VMEXITs.
- Introduce nvmm_vcpu_configure(). Similar to nvmm_machine_configure(),
but as its name indicates, the configuration is per-VCPU and not per-VM.
Migrate and rename NVMM_MACH_CONF_X86_CPUID to NVMM_VCPU_CONF_CPUID.
This becomes per-VCPU, which makes more sense than per-VM.
- Extend the NVMM_VCPU_CONF_CPUID conf to allow triggering VMEXITs on
specific leaves. Until now we could only mask the leaves. An uint32_t
is added in the structure:
uint32_t mask:1;
uint32_t exit:1;
uint32_t rsvd:30;
The two first bits select the desired behavior on the leaf. Specifying
zero on both resets the leaf to the default behavior. The new
NVMM_VCPU_EXIT_CPUID exit reason is added.
