      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix list traversal in error case · 17d48901
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This fixes a regression introduced in commit 25fedfca, "KVM: PPC:
      Book3S HV: Move vcore preemption point up into kvmppc_run_vcpu", which
      leads to a user-triggerable oops.
      
      In the case where we try to run a vcore on a physical core that is
      not in single-threaded mode, or the vcore has too many threads for
      the physical core, we iterate the list of runnable vcpus to make
      each one return an EBUSY error to userspace.  Since this involves
      taking each vcpu off the runnable_threads list for the vcore, we
      need to use list_for_each_entry_safe rather than list_for_each_entry
      to traverse the list.  Otherwise the kernel will crash with an oops
      message like this:
      
      Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x000fff88

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for signalling threads on POWER8 · 66feed61
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
      the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
      interrupt controller.  This includes waking secondary threads to run
      the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
      interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
      
      Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
      vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
      change:
      
       rm_entry:     3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
        rm_exit:     4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
        rm_intr:     1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
      
      and this after the change:
      
       rm_entry:     3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
        rm_exit:     4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
        rm_intr:     1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
      
      for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
      
      The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
      kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
      with this change.
      
      The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
      good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
      and a little-endian POWER8 host.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use bitmap of active threads rather than count · 7d6c40da
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
      contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
      the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
      This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
      of 8 bits each.  The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
      bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
      That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
      HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
      some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Get rid of vcore nap_count and n_woken · 5d5b99cd
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
      the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
      is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
      This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
      pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
      Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
      this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
      stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Move vcore preemption point up into kvmppc_run_vcpu · 25fedfca
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
      the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
      calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
      that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
      processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().
      
      The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
      vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
      task is runnable but not running.  (Doing the reschedule with the
      vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
      other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
      then wouldn't get woken up.)
      
      Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
      unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Simplify handling of VCPUs that need a VPA update · d911f0be
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Previously, if kvmppc_run_core() was running a VCPU that needed a VPA
      update (i.e. one of its 3 virtual processor areas needed to be pinned
      in memory so the host real mode code can update it on guest entry and
      exit), we would drop the vcore lock and do the update there and then.
      Future changes will make it inconvenient to drop the lock, so instead
      we now remove it from the list of runnable VCPUs and wake up its
      VCPU task.  This will have the effect that the VCPU task will exit
      kvmppc_run_vcpu(), go around the do loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), and
      re-enter kvmppc_run_vcpu(), whereupon it will do the necessary call
      to kvmppc_update_vpas() and then rejoin the vcore.
      
      The one complication is that the runner VCPU (whose VCPU task is the
      current task) might be one of the ones that gets removed from the
      runnable list.  In that case we just return from kvmppc_run_core()
      and let the code in kvmppc_run_vcpu() wake up another VCPU task to be
      the runner if necessary.
      
      This all means that the VCORE_STARTING state is no longer used, so we
      remove it.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Accumulate timing information for real-mode code · b6c295df
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
      entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
      maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
      times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
      
      * rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
        just before entering the guest.
      * rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
        guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
        host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
      * rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
        return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
      * guest - time spend in the guest
      * cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
        while other threads in the same vcore are active.
      
      These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
      contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
      each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
      4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
      executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
      all in nanoseconds.
      
      The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
      is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
      production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
      code is conditional on a new config symbol,
      CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Create debugfs file for each guest's HPT · e23a808b
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
      is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
      by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
      read.  The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
      process that created the guest.  The file is named "htab".  This is
      intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
      of guest memory.
      
      The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:
      
        3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196
      
      The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
      third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
      number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
      The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
      entry, so it contains the guest physical address.  (The format of the
      second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
      in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

      kvmppc: Implement H_LOGICAL_CI_{LOAD,STORE} in KVM · 99342cf8
      David Gibson 提交于
      On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes
      such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table.
      
      This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when
      the MMU is turned off (real mode).  Some CPU models provide special
      registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but
      this is not at all consistent.  This is a problem in particular for SLOF,
      the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but
      which needs to do IO to load the kernel.
      
      To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD
      and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to
      a logical address (aka guest physical address).  SLOF uses these for IO.
      
      However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel,
      these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself.  The simplest way
      to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk
      device with iothread / dataplane enabled.  The iothread code relies on an
      in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not
      triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to
      load the guest OS.
      
      This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the
      2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus.  Any access to an
      address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the
      qemu implementation as before.
      
      Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these
      new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Improve H_CONFER implementation · 90fd09f8
      Sam Bobroff 提交于
      Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
      meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
      in that virtual core have to exit the guest.  This is bad for
      performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
      are doing useful work.
      
      The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
      spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
      is currently not running on a physical CPU.  The idea is to give this
      VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
      towards releasing the lock.
      
      To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
      we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
      the other threads are doing anything.  If all the other threads
      are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
      it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
      H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.
      
      Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
      other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
      confer.  The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
      or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer.  If the
      timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS.  In this case the
      guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
      H_CONFER again.
      
      This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
      handler.  If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
      runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
      for running the vcore.  In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
      rather than the target VCPU.
      
      We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
      differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
      has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
      the lock.  This check is required by PAPR.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of instruction obtained from HEIR register · 4a157d61
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
      the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S.  If the
      exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
      instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
      (Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register).  If the exit was caused
      by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
      from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
      with an lwz instruction.
      
      Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
      the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
      both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst.  The HEIR value has been loaded
      using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
      host endianness.  The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
      assumes it was loaded using host endianness.
      
      To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value.  Then,
      in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
      vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
      differ.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Simplify locking around stolen time calculations · 2711e248
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests
      uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct.  The
      fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the
      vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for
      running the virtual core.  This works correctly but confuses lockdep,
      because it sees that the code takes the tbacct_lock for a vcpu in
      kvmppc_remove_runnable() and then takes another vcpu's tbacct_lock in
      vcore_stolen_time(), and it thinks there is a possibility of deadlock,
      causing it to print reports like this:

      used in the kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_hv() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_hv()
      functions, which are called with the scheduler rq lock held, which is
      an irq-safe lock.

      Suresh E. Warrier 提交于
      The kvmppc_vcore_blocked() code does not check for the wait condition
      after putting the process on the wait queue. This means that it is
      possible for an external interrupt to become pending, but the vcpu to
      remain asleep until the next decrementer interrupt.  The fix is to
      make one last check for pending exceptions and ceded state before

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix an issue where guest is paused on receiving HMI · dee6f24c
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      When we get an HMI (hypervisor maintenance interrupt) while in a
      guest, we see that guest enters into paused state.  The reason is, in
      kvmppc_handle_exit_hv it falls through default path and returns to
      host instead of resuming guest.  This causes guest to enter into
      paused state.  HMI is a hypervisor only interrupt and it is safe to
      resume the guest since the host has handled it already.  This patch
      adds a switch case to resume the guest.
      
      Without this patch we see guest entering into paused state with following

      Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8 · 9678cdaa
      Stewart Smith 提交于
      The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
      a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
      L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
      addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
      to a SPR.
      
      The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
      - starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
        - 32kb for L2
        - 128kb for L2+L3
        - Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
      - Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
      
      We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
      
      To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
      to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
      - starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
      - table size (no data, until end of table)
      - prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
        32 cycles)
      
      The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
      reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
      a physical CPU.
      
      The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
      cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
      so we just generate needless memory operations.
      
      This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
      to be useful.
      
      Benchmark 1:
       - 16 core POWER8
       - 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
       - No split core/SMT
       - two guests running sysbench memory test.
         sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
       - one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
         ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
      
      This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
      where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
      benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
      
      In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
      per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
      The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
      
      benchmark 2:
       - Same VM config as benchmark 1
       - all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
      
      This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
      cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
      may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
      in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
      many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
      
      The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
      rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
      go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
      
      benchmark 3:
       - same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
       - two idle guests
       - 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
      
      This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
      Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
      Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
      
      benchmark 4:
       - same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
       - two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
         workload
       - one guest running STREAM benchmark.
      
      Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
      
      benchmark 5:
       - 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
       - Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
       - STREAM benchmark
      
      In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
      of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interface · a0840240
      Alexey Kardashevskiy 提交于
      Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
      one_reg interface.  This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
      to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
      upper 32 bits.  The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
      reduces performance in the guest.
      
      We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
      since that would break existing userspace binaries.  Instead we define
      a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit.  Userspace can still use
      the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
      the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
      If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
      as well.

      This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall.  This hcall is a

      since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context
      switch.
      
      This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see

      KVM: PPC: Book3S: Controls for in-kernel sPAPR hypercall handling · 699a0ea0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
      handled in the kernel.  Each hcall can be individually enabled or
      disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS.  The exception
      for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
      individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
      KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
      H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
      
      Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
      KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
      The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
      in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
      in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
      userspace) and 1 means enable.  Enabling or disabling in-kernel
      handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
      
      The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
      on PowerPC is new, added by this commit.  The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
      capability advertises that this ability exists.
      
      When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
      in-kernel handling.  The set that is enabled is the set that have
      an in-kernel implementation at this point.  Any new hcall
      implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
      default set without a good reason.
      
      No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
      implementations; the one setting controls them both.

      KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Add mixed page-size support for guest · 1f365bb0
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using
      the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is
      possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size.  Thus for
      example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since
      the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to
      put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page.  This
      capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS).  With MPSS,
      there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the
      size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the
      size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is
      always >= base page size ].
      
      We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise
      the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether
      we support a specific combination of base page size and actual
      page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the
      LP encoding of HPTE entry.
      
      This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the
      feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes
      to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the
      HPTE entry.

      KVM: PPC: Make shared struct aka magic page guest endian · 5deb8e7a
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
      supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
      the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
      
      When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
      it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
      native endian load/store operations.
      
      Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
      endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
      
      For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
      the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
      
      For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
      shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
      functions that evaluate this variable.
