    KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Keep volatile reg values in vcpu rather than shadow_vcpu · a2d56020
    Paul Mackerras 提交于
    Currently PR-style KVM keeps the volatile guest register values
    (R0 - R13, CR, LR, CTR, XER, PC) in a shadow_vcpu struct rather than
    the main kvm_vcpu struct.  For 64-bit, the shadow_vcpu exists in two
    places, a kmalloc'd struct and in the PACA, and it gets copied back
    and forth in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load/put(), because the real-mode code
    can't rely on being able to access the kmalloc'd struct.
    
    This changes the code to copy the volatile values into the shadow_vcpu
    as one of the last things done before entering the guest.  Similarly
    the values are copied back out of the shadow_vcpu to the kvm_vcpu
    immediately after exiting the guest.  We arrange for interrupts to be
    still disabled at this point so that we can't get preempted on 64-bit
    and end up copying values from the wrong PACA.
    
    This means that the accessor functions in kvm_book3s.h for these
    registers are greatly simplified, and are same between PR and HV KVM.
    In places where accesses to shadow_vcpu fields are now replaced by
    accesses to the kvm_vcpu, we can also remove the svcpu_get/put pairs.
    Finally, on 64-bit, we don't need the kmalloc'd struct at all any more.
    
    With this, the time to read the PVR one million times in a loop went
    from 567.7ms to 575.5ms (averages of 6 values), an increase of about
    1.4% for this worse-case test for guest entries and exits.  The
    standard deviation of the measurements is about 11ms, so the
    difference is only marginally significant statistically.
