This patch fixes two corner cases in nested (L2) handling of TSC-related issues: 1. Somewhat suprisingly, according to the Intel spec, if L1 allows WRMSR to the TSC MSR without an exit, then this should set L1's TSC value itself - not offset by vmcs12.TSC_OFFSET (like was wrongly done in the previous code). 2. Allow L1 to disable the TSC_OFFSETING control, and then correctly ignore the vmcs12.TSC_OFFSET. Signed-off-by: NNadav Har'El <nyh@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

KVM assumed in several places that reading the TSC MSR returns the value for L1. This is incorrect, because when L2 is running, the correct TSC read exit emulation is to return L2's value. We therefore add a new x86_ops function, read_l1_tsc, to use in places that specifically need to read the L1 TSC, NOT the TSC of the current level of guest. Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied): kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded. On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally read PDPTEs dynamically. This has noticable impact when running PAE guests. Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to reading from memory for the nested MMU.

Instead of passing ctxt->_eip from insn_fetch() call sites, get it from ctxt in do_insn_fetch_byte(). This is done by replacing the argument _eip of insn_fetch() with _ctxt, which should be better than letting the macro use ctxt silently in its body. Though this changes the place where ctxt->_eip is incremented from insn_fetch() to do_insn_fetch_byte(), this does not have any real effect.

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO) is to call the read or write callback for each device registered on the bus until we find a device which handles it. Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO operation. Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear search. Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with 200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits). Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

由 Stefan Hajnoczi 提交于
The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable. Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm), formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to the appropriate exit reason table. However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces. In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar trouble. To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding exit_reason. The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set (vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other machines. Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject so these tracepoints can also be self-describing.

The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254. This will allow developers to easily work on scalability and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without patching the kernel. To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS returns the hard limit which is now 254.

GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives - breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss of having to type WERROR=0. Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without worrying about harmless warnings.

Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of 20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples without symbols. This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared.

Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC the pid/tid fields show: rsyslogd 1210/1212 and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows: rsyslogd 1212/1210 The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed, the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when the sample is parsed and do the proper swap. The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields. v3 -> v4: - fixed use of WARN_ONCE v2 -> v3: - used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data - removed struct wrapper around union - fixed whitespace issues v1 -> v2: - added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3) Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1315321946-16993-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.comSigned-off-by: NDavid Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the hypervisor: ... 60.20% [H] 0x33d43c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted this. The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the real picture: ... 57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock 0.65% [H] 0x33d43c So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile suggested. I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows multiple entries for the unknown bucket: ... 16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8 7.25% [.] 0x422460 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.82% [.] 0x532908 2.64% [.] 0x36b538 0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4 0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved samples sym is NULL so we match: if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym) return 0; On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when comparing against a symbol: ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip; ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip; This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we can't merge them all. If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket and the output makes more sense: ... 39.12% [.] 0x36b538 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 Acked-by: NEric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Eric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110831115145.4f598ab2@krytenSigned-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads(). For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading). perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.
