similar to: [PATCH][SVM][1/5] add init intercept handler

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

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 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>

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.

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.

AMD-V does not require the delaying of interrupt injection if the guest IF_FLAG disallows interrupts. Remove the code in svm_intr_assist() that was checking the guest IF in eflags. This patch fixes the problem with HVM Windows guests, with observing a very slow timer countdown on the initial boot menu, when there is more than one boot option. Kbd response in this same Windows boot menu is also

Remove the do_nmi() call from the vmexit logic, as the NMI is held pending and will be handled in the context of the host when the STGI instruction is executed. This patch only modifies AMD-V code. This patch is required even without the other Xenoprofile patches applied. Applies cleanly to c/s 11831. Please apply to xen-unstable.hg regardless of the other patches. We also want these patches

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

Remove visibility of the FFXSR CPUID bit to an HVM guest. This patch allows HVM Windows x64 to install/boot on AMD-V platforms. This patches applies cleanly to xen-unstable 13743.
