By saying "VMX is on in kvm init", you mean kvm_init enables the VMX feature in 
the logical processor?
No, only there is a vcpu to be created, kvm will enable the VMX feature.

I think there is no difference with this assignment before or after kvm_init 
because the vmcs linked
list must be empty before vmx_init is finished.

Thanks

[PATCH v3 0/2] x86: clear vmcss on all cpus when doing kdump if necessary

2012-10-30 Thread zhangyanfei
Currently, kdump just makes all the logical processors leave VMX operation by
executing VMXOFF instruction, so any VMCSs active on the logical processors may
be corrupted. But, sometimes, we need the VMCSs to debug guest images contained
in the host vmcore. To prevent the corruption, we should VMCLEAR the VMCSs 
before
executing the VMXOFF instruction.

The patch set provides a way to VMCLEAR vmcss related to guests on all cpus 
before
executing the VMXOFF when doing kdump. This is used to ensure the VMCSs in the
vmcore updated and non-corrupted.

Changelog from v2 to v3:
1. remove unnecessary conditions in function
   cpu_emergency_clear_loaded_vmcss as Marcelo suggested.

Changelog from v1 to v2:
1. remove the sysctl and clear VMCSs unconditionally.

Thanks for your comments.
In the new patchset, I didn't move the crash_clear_loaded_vmcss assignment.
I added a new percpu variable vmclear_skipped to indicate everything:
1. Before the loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is initialized, vmclear_skipped is 1 and
   this means if the machine crashes and doing kdump, crash_clear_loaded_vmcss
   still will not be called.
2. If the loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is under manipulation, vmclear_skipped is
   set to 1 and after the manipulation is finished, the variable is set to 0.
3. After all loaded vmcss are vmcleared, vmclear_skipped is set to 1. So we
   needn't repeat to vmclear loaded vmcss in kdump path.

Please refer to the new version of the patchset I sent. If you have any 
suggestions, that'll be helpful.

Thanks
Zhang

2012-11-14 Thread zhangyanfei
crash_clear_loaded_vmcss is added to VMCLEAR vmcss loaded on all
cpus. And when loading kvm_intel module, the function pointer will be
made valid.
The percpu variable vmclear_skipped is added to flag the case that
if loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is being modified while the machine crashes
and doing kdump, the vmclear here can be skipped.

Re: [PATCH v4 0/2] x86: clear vmcss on all cpus when doing kdump if necessary

Hello Marcelo,

Any thoughts?
