      arm/arm64: KVM: Improve kvm_exit tracepoint · b5905dc1
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      The ARM architecture only saves the exit class to the HSR (ESR_EL2 for
      arm64) on synchronous exceptions, not on asynchronous exceptions like an
      IRQ.  However, we only report the exception class on kvm_exit, which is
      confusing because an IRQ looks like it exited at some PC with the same
      reason as the previous exit.  Add a lookup table for the exception index
      and prepend the kvm_exit tracepoint text with the exception type to
      clarify this situation.
      
      Also resolve the exception class (EC) to a human-friendly text version
      so the trace output becomes immediately usable for debugging this code.

      arm/arm64: KVM: Implement Stage-2 page aging · 35307b9a
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      Until now, KVM/arm didn't care much for page aging (who was swapping
      anyway?), and simply provided empty hooks to the core KVM code. With
      server-type systems now being available, things are quite different.
      
      This patch implements very simple support for page aging, by clearing
      the Access flag in the Stage-2 page tables. On access fault, the current
      fault handling will write the PTE or PMD again, putting the Access flag
      back on.
      
      It should be possible to implement a much faster handling for Access
      faults, but that's left for a later patch.
      
      With this in place, performance in VMs is degraded much more gracefully.

      arm64: KVM: Yield CPU when vcpu executes a WFE · d241aac7
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
      becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
      lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
      running at all.
      
      The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
      now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
      boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
      CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
      when the VM is severely overcommited.
