[PATCH 0/3] KVM: Save/resume support

The following patchset adds the missing bits that allow kvm virtual
machines to be suspended and resumed, with appropriate
userspace support.

The changes are:
 - expose the pending interrupt bitmap to userspace
 - tsc save/restore
 - msr save/restore

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

[PATCH 3/3] KVM: Expose MSRs to userspace

From: Uri Lublin <uril <at> qumranet.com>

Expose the model-specific registers to userspace.  Primarily useful for
save/resume.

Classic mutiplicative overflow bug.  Only msrs->nmsrs doesn't get used
again, so there is no bug here.  Yet.

This function returns no indication of how many msrs it actually did set. 
Should it?

Right, will fix.  The 4096 limit is arbitrary anyway, and can be 
replaced by an arbitrary limit on nmsrs.

But why isn't it used again?  Looks like the kernel is forcing the user 
to send at least num_entries for no good reason, and ignoring any 
entries beyond num_entries.

It can't hurt.  Is returning the number of msrs set in the return code 
(ala short write) acceptable, or do I need to make this a read/write ioctl?

I'd have thought that you'd just copy the number written into msrs->nmsrs via

	msrs->nmsrs = num_entries;

like kvm_dev_ioctl_set_msrs() does.  Dunno...

It means making it an _IOWR() ioctl, but no matter.

ioctl interfaces with pointers in them are generally a bad idea,
though you handle most of the points against them fine here
(endianess doesn't matter, padding is correct).

Still, it might be better not to set a bad example. Is accessing
the MSRs actually performance critical? If not, you could
define the ioctl to take only a single entry argument.

A possible alternative could also be to have a variable length
argument like below, but that creates other problems:

+struct kvm_msrs {
+       __u32 vcpu;
+       __u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */
+       struct kvm_msr_entry entries[0]; /* followed by actual msrs */
+};

This would mean that you can't tell the transfer size from the
ioctl number, but you can't do that in your code either, because
you do two separate transfers.

But then you can't dynamically determine which MSRs are available.

And no, reading/setting MSRs isn't performance critical for the current 
use cases.

Heh.  That was the original implementation by Uri.  I felt that was 
wrong because _IOW() encodes the size in the ioctl number, bit the 
actual size is different.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

That really shouldn't be a problem.  After all the pointer approach
doesn't encode the transfered size either. Given that the variable
sized array gives a much cleaner interface you should use it.

[PATCH 1/3] KVM: Expose interrupt bitmap

From: Uri Lublin <uril <at> qumranet.com>

Expose all not-yet-delivered interrupts to userspace.  This allows a guest
to be saved and resumed even if some interrupts are yet pending.
