      KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll · 3491caf2
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
      s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
      would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
      transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
      This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
      This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
      should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
      
      For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
      known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
      interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
      by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
      woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
      This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
      expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
      not sucessful. As  KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
      we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
      
      This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
      transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
      while still providing a proper speedup.
      
      This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
      wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

      KVM: x86: reduce default value of halt_poll_ns parameter · 14ebda33
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      Windows lets applications choose the frequency of the timer tick,
      and in Windows 10 the maximum rate was changed from 1024 Hz to
      2048 Hz.  Unfortunately, because of the way the Windows API
      works, most applications who need a higher rate than the default
      64 Hz will just do
      
         timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(tc));
         timeBeginPeriod(tc.wPeriodMin);
      
      and pick the maximum rate.  This causes very high CPU usage when
      playing media or games on Windows 10, even if the guest does not
      actually use the CPU very much, because the frequent timer tick
      causes halt_poll_ns to kick in.
      
      There is no really good solution, especially because Microsoft
      could sooner or later bump the limit to 4096 Hz, but for now
      the best we can do is lower a bit the upper limit for
      halt_poll_ns. :-(

      KVM: MMU: simplify last_pte_bitmap · 6bb69c9b
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      Branch-free code is fun and everybody knows how much Avi loves it,
      but last_pte_bitmap takes it a bit to the extreme.  Since the code
      is simply doing a range check, like
      
      	(level == 1 ||
      	 ((gpte & PT_PAGE_SIZE_MASK) && level < N)
      
      we can make it branch-free without storing the entire truth table;
      it is enough to cache N.

      kvm/x86: Hyper-V SynIC timers · 1f4b34f8
      Andrey Smetanin 提交于
      Per Hyper-V specification (and as required by Hyper-V-aware guests),
      SynIC provides 4 per-vCPU timers.  Each timer is programmed via a pair
      of MSRs, and signals expiration by delivering a special format message
      to the configured SynIC message slot and triggering the corresponding
      synthetic interrupt.
      
      Note: as implemented by this patch, all periodic timers are "lazy"
      (i.e. if the vCPU wasn't scheduled for more than the timer period the
      timer events are lost), regardless of the corresponding configuration
      MSR.  If deemed necessary, the "catch up" mode (the timer period is
      shortened until the timer catches up) will be implemented later.
      
      Changes v2:
      * Use remainder to calculate periodic timer expiration time

      kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller · 5c919412
      Andrey Smetanin 提交于
      SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
      which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
       - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
         trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
         semantics
       - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
         slots
       - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
         event flag areas
      
      The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
      corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
      The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
      explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
      MSR.
      
      The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
      via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
      configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
      mapping.
      
      Changes v4:
      * added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
      * added per SynIC active flag
      * added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
      
      Changes v3:
      * added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
      docs
      
      Changes v2:
      * do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
      * add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap
      * Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified

      kvm/x86: per-vcpu apicv deactivation support · d62caabb
      Andrey Smetanin 提交于
      The decision on whether to use hardware APIC virtualization used to be
      taken globally, based on the availability of the feature in the CPU
      and the value of a module parameter.
      
      However, under certain circumstances we want to control it on per-vcpu
      basis.  In particular, when the userspace activates HyperV synthetic
      interrupt controller (SynIC), APICv has to be disabled as it's
      incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.
      
      To achieve that, introduce 'apicv_active' flag on struct
      kvm_vcpu_arch, and kvm_vcpu_deactivate_apicv() function to turn APICv
      off.  The flag is initialized based on the module parameter and CPU
      capability, and consulted whenever an APICv-specific action is
      performed.

      kvm/x86: split ioapic-handled and EOI exit bitmaps · 6308630b
      Andrey Smetanin 提交于
      The function to determine if the vector is handled by ioapic used to
      rely on the fact that only ioapic-handled vectors were set up to
      cause vmexits when virtual apic was in use.
      
      We're going to break this assumption when introducing Hyper-V
      synthetic interrupts: they may need to cause vmexits too.
      
      To achieve that, introduce a new bitmap dedicated specifically for
      ioapic-handled vectors, and populate EOI exit bitmap from it for now.
