# 270073 16-Aug-2014 grehan

MFC r267178, r267300

Support guest accesses to %cr8

Add reserved bit checking when doing %CR8 emulation and inject #GP if required.


# 267447 13-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 262139,262140,262236,262281,262532:
Various x2APIC fixes and enhancements:
- Use spinlocks for the vioapic.
- Handle the SELF_IPI MSR.
- Simplify the APIC mode switching between MMIO and x2APIC. The guest is
no longer allowed to switch modes at runtime. Instead, the desired mode
is set when the virtual machine is created.
- Disallow MMIO access in x2APIC mode and MSR access in xAPIC mode.
- Add support for x2APIC virtualization assist in Intel VT-x.


# 266339 17-May-2014 jhb

MFC 259641,259863,259924,259937,259961,259978,260380,260383,260410,260466,

Add support for local APIC hardware-assist.
- Restructure vlapic access and register handling to support hardware-assist
for the local APIC.
- Use the 'Virtual Interrupt Delivery' and 'Posted Interrupt Processing'
feature of Intel VT-x if supported by hardware.
- Add an API to rendezvous all active vcpus in a virtual machine and use
it to support level triggered interrupts with VT-x 'Virtual Interrupt
Delivery'.
- Use a cheaper IPI handler than IPI_AST for nested page table shootdowns
and avoid doing unnecessary nested TLB invalidations.

# 262350 22-Feb-2014 jhb

MFC 258859,259081,259085,259205,259213,259275,259482,259537,259702,259779:
Several changes to the local APIC support in bhyve:
- Rename 'vm_interrupt_hostcpu()' to 'vcpu_notify_event()'.
- If a vcpu disables its local apic and then executes a 'HLT' then spin
down the vcpu and destroy its thread context. Also modify the 'HLT'
processing to ignore pending interrupts in the IRR if interrupts have
been disabled by the guest. The interrupt cannot be injected into the
guest in any case so resuming it is futile.
- Use callout(9) to drive the vlapic timer instead of clocking it on each
VM exit.
- When the guest is bringing up the APs in the x2APIC mode a write to the
ICR register will now trigger a return to userspace with an exitcode of
VM_EXITCODE_SPINUP_AP.
- Change the vlapic timer lock to be a spinlock because the vlapic can be
accessed from within a critical section (vm run loop) when guest is using
x2apic mode.
- Fix the vlapic version register.
- Add a command to bhyvectl to inject an NMI on a specific vcpu.
- Add an API to deliver message signalled interrupts to vcpus. This allows
callers to treat the MSI 'addr' and 'data' fields as opaque and also lets
bhyve implement multiple destination modes: physical, flat and clustered.
- Rename the ambiguously named 'vm_setup_msi()' and 'vm_setup_msix()' to
'vm_setup_pptdev_msi()' and 'vm_setup_pptdev_msix()' respectively.
- Consolidate the virtual apic initialization in a single function:
vlapic_reset()
- Add a generic routine to trigger an LVT interrupt that supports both
fixed and NMI delivery modes.
- Add an ioctl and bhyvectl command to trigger local interrupts inside a
guest. In particular, a global NMI similar to that raised by SERR# or
PERR# can be simulated by asserting LINT1 on all vCPUs.
- Extend the LVT table in the vCPU local APIC to support CMCI.
- Flesh out the local APIC error reporting a bit to cache errors and
report them via ESR when ESR is written to. Add support for asserting
the error LVT when an error occurs. Raise illegal vector errors when
attempting to signal an invalid vector for an interrupt or when sending
an IPI.
- Export table entries in the MADT and MP Table advertising the stock x86
config of LINT0 set to ExtInt and LINT1 wired to NMI.


# 261088 23-Jan-2014 jhb

MFC 257422,257661,258075,258476,258494,258579,258609,258699:
Several enhancements to the I/O APIC support in bhyve including:
- Move the I/O APIC device model from userspace into vmm.ko and add
ioctls to assert and deassert I/O APIC pins.
- Add HPET device emulation including a single timer block with 8 timers.
- Remove the 'vdev' abstraction.

# 245678 20-Jan-2013 neel

Add svn properties to the recently merged bhyve source files.

The pre-commit hook will not allow any commits without the svn:keywords
property in head.


# 245652 19-Jan-2013 neel

Merge projects/bhyve to head.

'bhyve' was developed by grehan@ and myself at NetApp (thanks!).

Special thanks to Peter Snyder, Joe Caradonna and Michael Dexter for their
support and encouragement.

# 241766 20-Oct-2012 neel

Calculate the number of host ticks until the next guest timer interrupt.

This information will be used in conjunction with guest "HLT exiting" to
yield the thread hosting the virtual cpu.

Obtained from: NetApp


# 240943 25-Sep-2012 neel

Add an option "-a" to present the local apic in the XAPIC mode instead of the
default X2APIC mode to the guest.


# 240772 21-Sep-2012 neel

Restructure the x2apic access code in preparation for supporting memory mapped
access to the local apic.

The vlapic code is now aware of the mode that the guest is using to access the
local apic.

# 221914 14-May-2011 jhb

First cut at porting the kernel portions of 221828 and 221905 from the
BHyVe reference branch to HEAD.


# 221828 13-May-2011 grehan

Import of bhyve hypervisor and utilities, part 1.
vmm.ko - kernel module for VT-x, VT-d and hypervisor control
bhyve - user-space sequencer and i/o emulation
vmmctl - dump of hypervisor register state
libvmm - front-end to vmm.ko chardev interface

bhyve was designed and implemented by Neel Natu.
