      kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING · 719d93cd
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on
      Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even
      able to trigger some timeouts in some components.  Turns out that the
      KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec)
      when having multiple CPUs.  This is caused by the  synchronize_rcu and
      the HZ=100 of s390.  By changing the code to use a private srcu we can
      speed things up.  This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root
      from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks.
      
      Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu
      are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu
      uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides
      do not do rcu lockdep at all).
      
      Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu.  We just
      want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods.
      
      Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS
      and RR.  The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch
      has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%.  Using a paired t-test on the
      data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the
      cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation).
      
      (Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected,
      changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8%
      probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch.
      The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points).

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin 提交于
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      KVM: Add resampling irqfds for level triggered interrupts · 7a84428a
      Alex Williamson 提交于
      To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to
      KVM_IRQFD.  When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies
      the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM.  This may, for
      instance, indicate an EOI.  Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt
      through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt.  On resampling, the
      interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification.
      This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled
      from vfio with no userspace intervention.
      
      All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we
      reserve a new one for this interface.

      KVM: Fix buffer overflow in kvm_set_irq() · f2ebd422
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      kvm_set_irq() has an internal buffer of three irq routing entries, allowing
      connecting a GSI to three IRQ chips or on MSI.  However setup_routing_entry()
      does not properly enforce this, allowing three irqchip routes followed by
      an MSI route to overflow the buffer.
      
      Fix by ensuring that an MSI entry is added to an empty list.

      KVM: fast-path msi injection with irqfd · bd2b53b2
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Store irq routing table pointer in the irqfd object,
      and use that to inject MSI directly without bouncing out to
      a kernel thread.
      
      While we touch this structure, rearrange irqfd fields to make fastpath
      better packed for better cache utilization.
      
      This also adds some comments about locking rules and rcu usage in code.
      
      Some notes on the design:
      - Use pointer into the rt instead of copying an entry,
        to make it possible to use rcu, thus side-stepping
        locking complexities.  We also save some memory this way.
      - Old workqueue code is still used for level irqs.
        I don't think we DTRT with level anyway, however,
        it seems easier to keep the code around as
        it has been thought through and debugged, and fix level later than
        rip out and re-instate it later.

      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.
