similar to: [SVM][PATCH] Remove unnecessary intr assist guest iF check

These two patches affect the interrupt injection logic for AMD-V (only). These patches fix issues with Windows HVM guests during boot menu screen: 1) the timer countdown is no longer very slow 2) kbd response is now no longer slow or non-existent We have also seen an occasional "dma lost interrupt"/expiry errors, and these patches seem to help with these, especially with SUSE10 HVM

Patch 2/2 - Add flag to indicate that an exception event needs injecting, and to delay the ext interrupt injection. Remove unnecessary check of RFLAGS.IF for ExtInt injection. Applies cleanly to xen-unstable c/s 11831. Please apply to xen-unstable.hg. We would also want this patch to be in a 3.0.3-1 base whenever that is branched.

SVM patch to add 64bit hv support. This patch only modifies svm files. Tested with c/s 9015 with 32bit hv using UP Dom0, with UP linux and winxpsp1 unmodified guests. Tested with c/s 9015 with 64bit hv using UP Dom0, with 32bit and 64bit UP linux and 32bit winxpsp1. Applies cleanly to 9016. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Tom Woller <thomas.woller@amd.com>

Correct compile time compare of CONFIG_PAGING_LEVELS for 64bit and 32bit PAE guests. This code affects accesses to the CR4 register by the SVM guest.

Attached SVM patch fixes a virtualization of the CPUID NX bit, and cleans up other CPUID bits. Applies cleanly to xen-unstable.hg 10177. Applies to xen-3.0-testing 9696. Please apply to xen-unstable.hg. Please apply to xen-3.0-testing.hg. Tested on top of the KY patches for XCHG (HVM) and SMP SVM support. Keir, Can those 2 patches KY posted last week, also be applied to 3.0.2?

Svm patch to add 32bit msr support (combined both 32bit with 64bit functions) and enable vlapic for 64bit. Applies cleanly to 9023. Please apply.

SVM patch to add a host save area per core for the hypervisor and also for the microcode. The microcode area is not guaranteed to be compatible with the vmcb layout, therefore will require it''s own "scratch pad". Consolidate the per core areas into a single structure. Applies cleanly to 10002. Please apply to xen-unstable.hg. Please apply to xen-3.0-testing.hg.

Keir, below/attached patch is necessary to allow SVM partitions to boot unmodified guests with xen-unstable.hg c/s 8961. c/s 8822 and 8828 (some necessary evtchn modifications) cause SVM partitions to fail with "lost interrupt" hda error during boot. We currently do not understand why these modifications are necessary and in fact, a race occurs with one part of the patch (added

I'd like to clarify the meaning of "Intr*Mem" flags used in intrinsics definitions. If an intrinsic does not access memory but read and write control registers, what flag should I apply in this case: IntrNoMem or IntrReadWriteArgMem or nothing? Thanks. -- Simon

HPET intr-near-missing means if the current counter value is too close to the comparator value to be reprogrammed the expected HPET intr may be missing. Linux kernel uses a mininal 48-hpet-ticks(~3.5us) distance to workaround this, but personal observation showed there is still failure case while delta=0xba (~13.5us). So choosing 20us as the MIN_DELTA_NS should be helpful to prevent near-missing

Hi. Has anyone ran into issues with the timing of page.delay. I have been testing in firefox, for the most part, and it seems that there is no reliability on when the page.delay timings kick in. What happens is that sometimes it will work fine, and the countdown looks great; other times it will just jump to the end and display everything at once, other times it will be jerky. I''m on a
