Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).

Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch (instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on 440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate. Signed-off-by: NHollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry. Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits, at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some guest entries. These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the need to walk arrays in software). In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement, since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit. Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index. (KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)

KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings. This patch makes KVM work when the host has large pages too (tested with 64K). Signed-off-by: NHollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path ended up using stale mappings. Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the guest kernel could insert any for process B.

Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address through that mapping, it's marked Guarded. However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so let's allow prefetching as the designers intended. Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I tried, but it's clearly the right thing to do anyways and may improve other workloads.

In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but that's open for discussion. In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case. I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy jump table. Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant. Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq on the full irq delivery path. To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now. Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right entry of the whole array).

Currently we use an unnecessary if&switch to detect some cases. To be honest we don't need the ligh_exits counter anyway, because we can calculate it out of others. Sum_exits can also be calculated, so we can remove that too. MMIO, DCR and INTR can be counted on other places without these additional control structures (The INTR case was never hit anyway). The handling of BOOKE_INTERRUPT_EXTERNAL/BOOKE_INTERRUPT_DECREMENTER is similar, but we can avoid the additional if when copying 3 lines of code. I thought about a goto there to prevent duplicate lines, but rewriting three lines should be better style than a goto cross switch/case statements (its also not enough code to justify a new inline function).

When changing some msr bits e.g. problem state we need to take special care of that. We call the function in our mtmsr emulation (not needed for wrtee[i]), but we don't call kvmppc_set_msr if we change msr via set_regs ioctl. It's a corner case we never hit so far, but I assume it should be kvmppc_set_msr in our arch set regs function (I found it because it is also a corner case when using pv support which would miss the update otherwise).

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors. The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages(). One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.

While for debugging it is good to catch bogus users of ioremap, though for kdump support it is more convenient to use __ioremap for copy_oldmem_page() (exactly as we do for PPC64 currently). Note that copy_oldmem_page() calls __ioremap with flags set to '0', so it should be safe with the regard to the caches. The other option is to use kmap_atomic_pfn()[1], but it will not work for kernels compiled without HIGHMEM. That is, on a board with 256MB RAM and crashkernel=64M@32M case, the !HIGHMEM capturing kernel maps 0-96M range, which does not include all the memory needed to capture the dump. And, obviously, accessing anything upper than 96M will cause faults.

Currently, pseries_cpu_die() calls msleep() while polling RTAS for the status of the dying cpu. However, if the cpu that is going down also happens to be the one doing the tick then we're hosed as the tick_do_timer_cpu 'baton' is only passed later on in tick_shutdown() when _cpu_down() does the CPU_DEAD notification. Therefore jiffies won't be updated anymore. This replaces that msleep() with a cpu_relax() to make sure we're not going to schedule at that point.
