MMIO SPTEs currently set both bits 62 and 63 to distinguish them as special PTEs. However, bit 63 is used as the SVE bit in Intel EPT PTEs. The SVE bit is ignored for misconfigured PTEs but not necessarily for not-Present PTEs. Since MMIO SPTEs use an EPT misconfiguration, so using bit 63 for them is acceptable. However, the upcoming fast access tracking feature adds another type of special tracking PTE, which uses not-Present PTEs and hence should not set bit 63. In order to use common bits to distinguish both type of special PTEs, we now use only bit 62 as the special bit.

When using two-dimensional paging, the mmu_page_hash (which provides lookups for existing kvm_mmu_page structs), becomes imbalanced; with too many collisions in buckets 0 and 512. This has been seen to cause mmu_lock to be held for multiple milliseconds in kvm_mmu_get_page on VMs with a large amount of RAM mapped with 4K pages. The current hash function uses the lower 10 bits of gfn to index into mmu_page_hash. When doing shadow paging, gfn is the address of the guest page table being shadow. These tables are 4K-aligned, which makes the low bits of gfn a good hash. However, with two-dimensional paging, no guest page tables are being shadowed, so gfn is the base address that is mapped by the table. Thus page tables (level=1) have a 2MB aligned gfn, page directories (level=2) have a 1GB aligned gfn, etc. This means hashes will only differ in their 10th bit. hash_64() provides a better hash. For example, on a VM with ~200G (99458 direct=1 kvm_mmu_page structs): hash max_mmu_page_hash_collisions -------------------------------------------- low 10 bits 49847 hash_64 105 perfect 97 While we're changing the hash, increase the table size by 4x to better support large VMs (further reduces number of collisions in 200G VM to 29). Note that hash_64() does not provide a good distribution prior to commit ef703f49 ("Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64()").

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction calls both kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction and kvm_vcpu_check_singlestep, skipping the emulated instruction and generating a trap if necessary. Replacing skip_emulated_instruction calls with kvm_skip_emulated_instruction is straightforward, except for: - ICEBP, which is already inside a trap, so avoid triggering another trap. - Instructions that can trigger exits to userspace, such as the IO insns, MOVs to CR8, and HALT. If kvm_skip_emulated_instruction does trigger a KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP exit, and the handling code for IN/OUT/MOV CR8/HALT also triggers an exit to userspace, the latter will take precedence. The singlestep will be triggered again on the next instruction, which is the current behavior. - Task switch instructions which would require additional handling (e.g. the task switch bit) and are instead left alone. - Cases where VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME do not proceed to the next instruction, which do not trigger singlestep traps as mentioned previously.

AMD hardware adds two additional bits to aid in nested page fault handling. Bit 32 - NPF occurred while translating the guest's final physical address Bit 33 - NPF occurred while translating the guest page tables The guest page tables fault indicator can be used as an aid for nested virtualization. Using V0 for the host, V1 for the first level guest and V2 for the second level guest, when both V1 and V2 are using nested paging there are currently a number of unnecessary instruction emulations. When V2 is launched shadow paging is used in V1 for the nested tables of V2. As a result, KVM marks these pages as RO in the host nested page tables. When V2 exits and we resume V1, these pages are still marked RO. Every nested walk for a guest page table is treated as a user-level write access and this causes a lot of NPFs because the V1 page tables are marked RO in the V0 nested tables. While executing V1, when these NPFs occur KVM sees a write to a read-only page, emulates the V1 instruction and unprotects the page (marking it RW). This patch looks for cases where we get a NPF due to a guest page table walk where the page was marked RO. It immediately unprotects the page and resumes the guest, leading to far fewer instruction emulations when nested virtualization is used.

Since commit a545ab6a ("kvm: x86: add tsc_offset field to struct kvm_vcpu_arch", 2016-09-07) the offset between host and L1 TSC is cached and need not be fished out of the VMCS or VMCB. This means that we can implement adjust_tsc_offset_guest and read_l1_tsc entirely in generic code. The simplification is particularly significant for VMX code, where vmx->nested.vmcs01_tsc_offset was duplicating what is now in vcpu->arch.tsc_offset. Therefore the vmcs01_tsc_offset can be dropped completely. More importantly, this fixes KVM_GET_CLOCK/KVM_SET_CLOCK which, after commit 108b249c ("KVM: x86: introduce get_kvmclock_ns", 2016-09-01) called read_l1_tsc while the VMCS was not loaded.

vms and vcpus have statistics associated with them which can be viewed within the debugfs. Currently it is assumed within the vcpu_stat_get() and vm_stat_get() functions that all of these statistics are represented as u32s, however the next patch adds some u64 vcpu statistics. Change all vcpu statistics to u64 and modify vcpu_stat_get() accordingly. Since vcpu statistics are per vcpu, they will only be updated by a single vcpu at a time so this shouldn't present a problem on 32-bit machines which can't atomically increment 64-bit numbers. However vm statistics could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time. To avoid the overhead of atomics make all vm statistics ulong such that they are 64-bit on 64-bit systems where they can be atomically incremented and are 32-bit on 32-bit systems which may not be able to atomically increment 64-bit numbers.

KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC enablement. KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits. Both are needed to support x2APIC. The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not backward-compatible. Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping unit. The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits. Lower 8 bits are reserved as 0. Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we didn't check that userspace zeroed the word. Reserved bits are still not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses, which will cause a bug.

The VMX preemption timer can be used to virtualize the TSC deadline timer. The VMX preemption timer is armed when the vCPU is running, and a VMExit will happen if the virtual TSC deadline timer expires. When the vCPU thread is blocked because of HLT, KVM will switch to use an hrtimer, and then go back to the VMX preemption timer when the vCPU thread is unblocked. This solution avoids the complex OS's hrtimer system, and the host timer interrupt handling cost, replacing them with a little math (for guest->host TSC and host TSC->preemption timer conversion) and a cheaper VMexit. This benefits latency for isolated pCPUs. [A word about performance... Yunhong reported a 30% reduction in average latency from cyclictest. I made a similar test with tscdeadline_latency from kvm-unit-tests, and measured - ~20 clock cycles loss (out of ~3200, so less than 1% but still statistically significant) in the worst case where the test halts just after programming the TSC deadline timer - ~800 clock cycles gain (25% reduction in latency) in the best case where the test busy waits.

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.

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. :-( Reported-by: NJon Panozzo <jonp@lime-technology.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
