Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

# 302408 08-Jul-2016 gjb

Copy head@r302406 to stable/11 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE cycle.
Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, as nothing has been merged
here.

Additional commits post-branch will follow.

# 279971 14-Mar-2015 neel

Use lapic_ipi_alloc() to dynamically allocate IPI slots needed by bhyve when
vmm.ko is loaded.

Also relocate the 'justreturn' IPI handler to be alongside all other handlers.

Requested by: kib


# 276428 30-Dec-2014 neel

Replace bhyve's minimal RTC emulation with a fully featured one in vmm.ko.

The new RTC emulation supports all interrupt modes: periodic, update ended
and alarm. It is also capable of maintaining the date/time and NVRAM contents
across virtual machine reset. Also, the date/time fields can now be modified
by the guest.

Since bhyve now emulates both the PIT and the RTC there is no need for
"Legacy Replacement Routing" in the HPET so get rid of it.

The RTC device state can be inspected via bhyvectl as follows:
bhyvectl --vm=vm --get-rtc-time
bhyvectl --vm=vm --set-rtc-time=<unix_time_secs>
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --get-rtc-nvram
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --set-rtc-nvram=<value>

# 274184 06-Nov-2014 imp

Retire the '@' symlink. It isn't really needed and causes more
problems than it solves. SYSDIR is already defined almost always and
can be used instead. Working around the one case where it isn't is
much easier than working around the fact that @ may not exist in 18
other places.

# 273744 27-Oct-2014 jhb

Add foo_genassym.c files to DPSRCS so dependencies for them are generated.
This ensures these objects are rebuilt to generate an updated header of
assembly constants if needed.


# 273683 26-Oct-2014 neel

Move the ACPI PM timer emulation into vmm.ko.

This reduces variability during timer calibration by keeping the emulation
"close" to the guest. Additionally having all timer emulations in the kernel
will ease the transition to a per-VM clock source (as opposed to using the
host's uptime keep track of time).

Discussed with: grehan


# 273375 21-Oct-2014 neel

Merge projects/bhyve_svm into HEAD.

After this change bhyve supports AMD processors with the SVM/AMD-V hardware
extensions.

# 273214 17-Oct-2014 imp

Fix build to not bogusly always rebuild vmm.ko.

Rename vmx_assym.s to vmx_assym.h to reflect that file's actual use
and update vmx_support.S's include to match. Add vmx_assym.h to the
SRCS to that it gets properly added to the dependency list. Add
vmx_support.S to SRCS as well, so it gets built and needs fewer
special-case goo. Remove now-redundant special-case goo. Finally,
vmx_genassym.o doesn't need to depend on a hand expanded ${_ILINKS}
explicitly, that's all taken care of by beforedepend.

With these items fixed, we no longer build vmm.ko every single time
through the modules on a KERNFAST build.

# 271888 20-Sep-2014 neel

Restructure the MSR handling so it is entirely handled by processor-specific
code. There are only a handful of MSRs common between the two so there isn't
too much duplicate functionality.

The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:

- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).

- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).

- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into
the hypervisor (e.g., MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE).

Move the atpit device model from userspace into vmm.ko for better
precision and lower latency.

Approved by: grehan (co-mentor)


# 263035 11-Mar-2014 tychon

Replace the userspace atpic stub with a more functional vmm.ko model.

New ioctls VM_ISA_ASSERT_IRQ, VM_ISA_DEASSERT_IRQ and VM_ISA_PULSE_IRQ
can be used to manipulate the pic, and optionally the ioapic, pin state.

# 258579 25-Nov-2013 neel

Add HPET device emulation to bhyve.

bhyve supports a single timer block with 8 timers. The timers are all 32-bit
and capable of being operated in periodic mode. All timers support interrupt
delivery using MSI. Timers 0 and 1 also support legacy interrupt routing.

At the moment the timers are not connected to any ioapic pins but that will
be addressed in a subsequent commit.

This change is based on a patch from Tycho Nightingale (tycho.nightingale@pluribusnetworks.com).


# 258075 12-Nov-2013 neel

Move the ioapic device model from userspace into vmm.ko. This is needed for
upcoming in-kernel device emulations like the HPET.

The ioctls VM_IOAPIC_ASSERT_IRQ and VM_IOAPIC_DEASSERT_IRQ are used to
manipulate the ioapic pin state.

# 257661 04-Nov-2013 neel

Remove the 'vdev' abstraction that was meant to sit on top of device models
in the kernel. This abstraction was redundant because the only device emulated
inside vmm.ko is the local apic and it is always at a fixed guest physical
address.

# 254596 21-Aug-2013 uqs

Fix 'make depend'.


# 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.

# 242275 29-Oct-2012 neel

Corral all the host state associated with the virtual machine into its own file.

This state is independent of the type of hardware assist used so there is
really no need for it to be in Intel-specific code.

# 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.


# 238380 11-Jul-2012 grehan

BHyVe's vmm.ko can now be built with the in-tree binutils.

Many thanks to jhb@ for making this happen.


# 222606 02-Jun-2011 jhb

Missed this in the previous commit to add 'show vmcs': add opt_ddb.h as
a source file.


# 222024 17-May-2011 neel

Remove misleading macro definition (-DOLD_BINUTILS) from CFLAGS.

At this point we require binutils from ports that understands how to
assemble the VT-x instructions.

# 221914 14-May-2011 jhb
