# 284900 28-Jun-2015 neel

MFC r282209:
Emulate the 'bit test' instruction.

MFC r282259:
Re-implement RTC current time calculation to eliminate the possibility of
losing time.

MFC r282281:
Advertise the MTRR feature via CPUID and emulate the minimal set of MTRR MSRs.

MFC r282284:
When an instruction cannot be decoded just return to userspace so bhyve(8)
can dump the instruction bytes.

MFC r282287:
Don't require <sys/cpuset.h> to be always included before <machine/vmm.h>.

MFC r282296:
Emulate MSR_SYSCFG which is accessed by Linux on AMD cpus when MTRRs are
enabled.

MFC r282301:
Relax limits when transitioning a vector from the IRR to the ISR and also
when extinguishing it from the ISR in response to an EOI.

MFC r282335:
Advertise an additional memory BAR in the "dummy" device emulation.

MFC r282336:
Emulate machine check related MSRs to allow guest OSes like Windows to boot.

MFC r282351:
Don't advertise the Intel SMX capability to the guest.

MFC r282407:
Emulate the 'CMP r/m8, imm8' instruction.

MFC r282519:
Add macros for AMD-specific bits in MSR_EFER: LMSLE, FFXSR and TCE.

MFC r282520:
Emulate guest writes to EFER_MSR properly.

MFC r282558:
Deprecate the 3-way return values from vm_gla2gpa() and vm_copy_setup().

MFC r282571:
Check 'td_owepreempt' and yield the vcpu thread if it is set.

MFC r282595:
Allow byte reads of AHCI registers.

MFC r282784:
Handling indirect descriptors is a capability of the host and not one that
needs to be negotiated. Use the host capabilities field and not the negotiated
field when verifying that indirect descriptors are supported.

MFC r282788:
Allow configuration of the sector size advertised to the guest.

MFC r282865:
Set the subvendor field in config space to the vendor ID. This is required
by the Windows virtio drivers to correctly match a device.

MFC r282922:
Bump the size of the blockif scatter-gather list to 67.

MFC r283075:
Fix off-by-one in array index bounds check. bhyveload would allow you to
create 33 entries on an array that only has 32 slots

MFC r283168:
Temporarily revert r282922 which bumped the max descriptors.

MFC r283255:
Emulate the "CMP r/m, reg" instruction (opcode 39H).

MFC r283256:
Add an option "--get-vmcs-exit-inst-length" to display the instruction length
of the instruction that caused the VM-exit.

MFC r283264:
Change the header type of the emulated host-bridge from type 1 to type 0.

MFC r283293:
Don't rely on the 'VM-exit instruction length' field in the VMCS to always
have an accurate length on an EPT violation.

MFC r283299:
Remove bogus verification of instruction length after instruction decode.

MFC r283308:
Exceptions don't deliver an error code in real mode.

MFC r283657:
Fix non-deterministic delays when accessing a vcpu that was in "running" or
"sleeping" state.

MFC r283973:
Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.features' to disable specific SVM features even
though they might be available in hardware. Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.num_asids'
to limit the number of ASIDs used by the hypervisor.

MFC r284046:
Fix regression in 'verify_gla()' with the RIP-relative addressing mode.

MFC r284174:
Support guest writes to the TSC by enabling the "use TSC offsetting"
execution control.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation


# 255287 06-Sep-2013 grehan

Allow CPUID leaf 0xD to be read as zeroes.
Linux reads this even though extended features
aren't exposed.

Support for 0xD will be expanded once AVX[2]
is exposed to the guest in upcoming work.


# 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.

# 243325 20-Nov-2012 grehan

Handle CPUID leaf 0x7 now that FreeBSD is using it.
Return 0's for now.

# 240941 25-Sep-2012 neel

Add support for trapping MMIO writes to local apic registers and emulating them.

The default behavior is still to present the local apic to the guest in the
x2apic mode.


# 222610 02-Jun-2011 jhb

Some tweaks to the CPUID support:
- Don't always pass the cpuid request to the current CPU as some nodes
we will emulate purely in software.
- Pass in the APIC ID of the virtual CPU so we can return the proper APIC
ID.
- Always report a completely flat topology with no SMT or multicore.
- Report the CPUID2_HV feature and implement support for the 0x40000000
CPUID level.
- Use existing constants from <machine/specialreg.h> when possible and
use cpu_feature2 when checking for VMX support.


# 222105 19-May-2011 grehan

Changes to allow the GENERIC+bhye kernel built from this branch to
run as a 1/2 CPU guest on an 8.1 bhyve host.

bhyve/inout.c
inout.h
fbsdrun.c
- Rather than exiting on accesses to unhandled i/o ports, emulate
hardware by returning -1 on reads and ignoring writes to unhandled
ports. Support the previous mode by allowing a 'strict' parameter
to be set from the command line.
The 8.1 guest kernel was vastly cut down from GENERIC and had no
ISA devices. Booting GENERIC exposes a massive amount of random
touching of i/o ports (hello syscons/vga/atkbdc).

bhyve/consport.c
dev/bvm/bvm_console.c
- implement a simplistic signature for the bvm console by returning
'bv' for an inw on the port. Also, set the priority of the console
to CN_REMOTE if the signature was returned. This works better in
an environment where multiple consoles are in the kernel (hello syscons)

bhyve/rtc.c
- return 0 for the access to RTC_EQUIPMENT (yes, you syscons)

amd64/vmm/x86.c
x86.h
- hide a bunch more CPUID leaf 1 bits from the guest to prevent
cpufreq drivers from probing.
The next step will be to move CPUID handling completely into
user-space. This will allow the full spectrum of changes from
presenting a lowest-common-denominator CPU type/feature set, to
exposing (almost) everything that the host can support.

# 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.
