      KVM: host side for eoi optimization · ae7a2a3f
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
      This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
      causes as much as by half.
      
      The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
      that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
      We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
      before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
      a test and clear operation - this is necessary
      so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
      and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.
      
      There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
      in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
      - Guest EOI is not required
      - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit
      
      For testing results see description of previous patch
      'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

      KVM: optimize ISR lookups · 8680b94b
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt
      injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have
      a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by
      1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR
      2. on set, caching the injected vector number
      3. on clear, invalidating the cache
      
      The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI
      which needs to quickly validate the vector.
      But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch,
      and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr
      will always return immediately without scanning ISR.

      KVM: dont clear TMR on EOI · a0c9a822
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Intel spec says that TMR needs to be set/cleared
      when IRR is set, but kvm also clears it on  EOI.
      
      I did some tests on a real (AMD based) system,
      and I see same TMR values both before
      and after EOI, so I think it's a minor bug in kvm.
      
      This patch fixes TMR to be set/cleared on IRR set
      only as per spec.
      
      And now that we don't clear TMR, we can save
      an atomic read of TMR on EOI that's not propagated
      to ioapic, by checking whether ioapic needs
      a specific vector first and calculating
      the mode afterwards.

      KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling · cc578287
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz'
      to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider
      each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate.  Instead, there is new
      logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether
      it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by
      common code.  This means we can simply query the virtual rate at
      any point, which is needed for software rate scaling.
      
      There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor
      differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally
      provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed.  Instead,
      we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is
      the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling
      will be used.  The default is 250ppm, which is the half the
      threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation.
      
      In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can
      kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than
      hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available
      yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software
      implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

      KVM: Avoid double interrupt injection with vapic · 83bcacb1
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      After an interrupt injection, the PPR changes, and we have to reflect that
      into the vapic.  This causes a KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set, which causes the
      whole interrupt injection routine to be run again (harmlessly).
      
      Optimize by only setting KVM_REQ_EVENT if the ppr was lowered; otherwise
      there is no chance that a new injection is needed.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      KVM: Fix race between APIC TMR and IRR · a5d36f82
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      When we queue an interrupt to the local apic, we set the IRR before the TMR.
      The vcpu can pick up the IRR and inject the interrupt before setting the TMR,
      and perhaps even EOI it, causing incorrect behaviour.
      
      The race is really insignificant since it can only occur on the first
      interrupt (usually following interrupts will not change TMR), but it's better
      closed than open.
      
      Fixed by reordering setting the TMR vs IRR.
