When a guest migrates to a new host, the system time difference from the previous host is used in the updates to the kvmclock system time visible to the guest, resulting in a continuation of correct kvmclock based guest timekeeping. The wall clock component of the kvmclock provided time is currently not updated with this same time offset. Since the Linux guest caches the wall clock based time, this discrepency is not noticed until the guest is rebooted. After reboot the guest's time calculations are off. This patch adjusts the wall clock by the kvmclock_offset, resulting in correct guest time after a reboot.

This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests. Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A for details. For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running natively. For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD. Signed-off-by: NJunjie Mao <junjie.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

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'.

lpage_info is created for each large level even when the memory slot is not for RAM. This means that when we add one slot for a PCI device, we end up allocating at least KVM_NR_PAGE_SIZES - 1 pages by vmalloc(). To make things worse, there is an increasing number of devices which would result in more pages being wasted this way. This patch mitigates this problem by using kvm_kvzalloc().

Currently the inject_pending_event() call during guest entry happens after kvm_mmu_reload(). This is for historical reasons - we used to inject_pending_event() in atomic context, while kvm_mmu_reload() needs task context. A problem is that nested vmx can cause the mmu context to be reset, if event injection is intercepted and causes a #VMEXIT instead (the #VMEXIT resets CR0/CR3/CR4). If this happens, we end up with invalid root_hpa, and since kvm_mmu_reload() has already run, no one will fix it and we end up entering the guest this way. Fix by reordering event injection to be before kvm_mmu_reload(). Use ->cancel_injection() to undo if kvm_mmu_reload() fails. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42980Reported-by: NLuke-Jr <luke-jr+linuxbugs@utopios.org> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

We have seen some problems of the current implementation of get_dirty_log() which uses synchronize_srcu_expedited() for updating dirty bitmaps; e.g. it is noticeable that this sometimes gives us ms order of latency when we use VGA displays. Furthermore the recent discussion on the following thread "srcu: Implement call_srcu()" http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211 also motivated us to implement get_dirty_log() without SRCU. This patch achieves this goal without sacrificing the performance of both VGA and live migration: in practice the new code is much faster than the old one unless we have too many dirty pages. Implementation: The key part of the implementation is the use of xchg() operation for clearing dirty bits atomically. Since this allows us to update only BITS_PER_LONG pages at once, we need to iterate over the dirty bitmap until every dirty bit is cleared again for the next call. Although some people may worry about the problem of using the atomic memory instruction many times to the concurrently accessible bitmap, it is usually accessed with mmu_lock held and we rarely see concurrent accesses: so what we need to care about is the pure xchg() overheads. Another point to note is that we do not use for_each_set_bit() to check which ones in each BITS_PER_LONG pages are actually dirty. Instead we simply use __ffs() in a loop. This is much faster than repeatedly call find_next_bit(). Performance: The dirty-log-perf unit test showed nice improvements, some times faster than before, except for some extreme cases; for such cases the speed of getting dirty page information is much faster than we process it in the userspace. For real workloads, both VGA and live migration, we have observed pure improvements: when the guest was reading a file during live migration, we originally saw a few ms of latency, but with the new method the latency was less than 200us.

During a host suspend, TSC may go backwards, which KVM interprets as an unstable TSC. Technically, KVM should not be marking the TSC unstable, which causes the TSC clocksource to go bad, but we need to be adjusting the TSC offsets in such a case. Dealing with this issue is a little tricky as the only place we can reliably do it is before much of the timekeeping infrastructure is up and running. On top of this, we are not in a KVM thread context, so we may not be able to safely access VCPU fields. Instead, we compute our best known hardware offset at power-up and stash it to be applied to all VCPUs when they actually start running.

The variable last_host_tsc was removed from upstream code. I am adding it back for two reasons. First, it is unnecessary to use guest TSC computation to conclude information about the host TSC. The guest may set the TSC backwards (this case handled by the previous patch), but the computation of guest TSC (and fetching an MSR) is significanlty more work and complexity than simply reading the hardware counter. In addition, we don't actually need the guest TSC for any part of the computation, by always recomputing the offset, we can eliminate the need to deal with the current offset and any scaling factors that may apply. The second reason is that later on, we are going to be using the host TSC value to restore TSC offsets after a host S4 suspend, so we need to be reading the host values, not the guest values here.

The variable last_guest_tsc was being used as an ad-hoc indicator that guest TSC has been initialized and recorded correctly. However, it may not have been, it could be that guest TSC has been set to some large value, the back to a small value (by, say, a software reboot). This defeats the logic and causes KVM to falsely assume that the guest TSC has gone backwards, marking the host TSC unstable, which is undesirable behavior. In addition, rather than try to compute an offset adjustment for the TSC on unstable platforms, just recompute the whole offset. This allows us to get rid of one callsite for adjust_tsc_offset, which is problematic because the units it takes are in guest units, but here, the computation was originally being done in host units. Doing this, and also recording last_guest_tsc when the TSC is written allow us to remove the tricky logic which depended on last_guest_tsc being zero to indicate a reset of uninitialized value. Instead, we now have the guarantee that the guest TSC offset is always at least something which will get us last_guest_tsc.

Currently, when the TSC is written by the guest, the variable ns is updated to force the current write to appear to have taken place at the time of the first write in this sync phase. This leaves a cliff at the end of the match window where updates will fall of the end. There are two scenarios where this can be a problem in practe - first, on a system with a large number of VCPUs, the sync period may last for an extended period of time. The second way this can happen is if the VM reboots very rapidly and we catch a VCPU TSC synchronization just around the edge. We may be unaware of the reboot, and thus the first VCPU might synchronize with an old set of the timer (at, say 0.97 seconds ago, when first powered on). The second VCPU can come in 0.04 seconds later to try to synchronize, but it misses the window because it is just over the threshold. Instead, stop doing this artificial setback of the ns variable and just update it with every write of the TSC. It may be observed that doing so causes values computed by compute_guest_tsc to diverge slightly across CPUs - note that the last_tsc_ns and last_tsc_write variable are used here, and now they last_tsc_ns will be different for each VCPU, reflecting the actual time of the update. However, compute_guest_tsc is used only for guests which already have TSC stability issues, and further, note that the previous patch has caused last_tsc_write to be incremented by the difference in nanoseconds, converted back into guest cycles. As such, only boundary rounding errors should be visible, which given the resolution in nanoseconds, is going to only be a few cycles and only visible in cross-CPU consistency tests. The problem can be fixed by adding a new set of variables to track the start offset and start write value for the current sync cycle.

There are a few improvements that can be made to the TSC offset matching code. First, we don't need to call the 128-bit multiply (especially on a constant number), the code works much nicer to do computation in nanosecond units. Second, the way everything is setup with software TSC rate scaling, we currently have per-cpu rates. Obviously this isn't too desirable to use in practice, but if for some reason we do change the rate of all VCPUs at runtime, then reset the TSCs, we will only want to match offsets for VCPUs running at the same rate. Finally, for the case where we have an unstable host TSC, but rate scaling is being done in hardware, we should call the platform code to compute the TSC offset, so the math is reorganized to recompute the base instead, then transform the base into an offset using the existing API.

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.

In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family 10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest.

While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to others. So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>. The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>. The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module. But that kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained. Even if it isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.
