      x86/kvm/hyper-v: direct mode for synthetic timers · 8644f771
      Vitaly Kuznetsov 提交于
      Turns out Hyper-V on KVM (as of 2016) will only use synthetic timers
      if direct mode is available. With direct mode we notify the guest by
      asserting APIC irq instead of sending a SynIC message.
      
      The implementation uses existing vec_bitmap for letting lapic code
      know that we're interested in the particular IRQ's EOI request. We assume
      that the same APIC irq won't be used by the guest for both direct mode
      stimer and as sint source (especially with AutoEOI semantics). It is
      unclear how things should be handled if that's not true.
      
      Direct mode is also somewhat less expensive; in my testing
      stimer_send_msg() takes not less than 1500 cpu cycles and
      stimer_notify_direct() can usually be done in 300-400. WS2016 without
      Hyper-V, however, always sticks to non-direct version.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      KVM: x86: support using the vmx preemption timer for tsc deadline timer · ce7a058a
      Yunhong Jiang 提交于
      The VMX preemption timer can be used to virtualize the TSC deadline timer.
      The VMX preemption timer is armed when the vCPU is running, and a VMExit
      will happen if the virtual TSC deadline timer expires.
      
      When the vCPU thread is blocked because of HLT, KVM will switch to use
      an hrtimer, and then go back to the VMX preemption timer when the vCPU
      thread is unblocked.
      
      This solution avoids the complex OS's hrtimer system, and the host
      timer interrupt handling cost, replacing them with a little math
      (for guest->host TSC and host TSC->preemption timer conversion)
      and a cheaper VMexit.  This benefits latency for isolated pCPUs.
      
      [A word about performance... Yunhong reported a 30% reduction in average
       latency from cyclictest.  I made a similar test with tscdeadline_latency
       from kvm-unit-tests, and measured
      
       - ~20 clock cycles loss (out of ~3200, so less than 1% but still
         statistically significant) in the worst case where the test halts
         just after programming the TSC deadline timer
      
       - ~800 clock cycles gain (25% reduction in latency) in the best case
         where the test busy waits.
      
       I removed the VMX bits from Yunhong's patch, to concentrate them in the
       next patch - Paolo]

      x86/vdso: Remove direct HPET access through the vDSO · 1ed95e52
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic.  HPET
      implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many
      machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are
      problematic.
      
      We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with:
      
        ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL   CBX3  01072009 AMI. 00000005)
      
      is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some
      regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected
      things to the HPET.
      
      The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup.
      Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several
      microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read
      the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it.
      
      To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely.
      
      In the long run, this could actually be a speedup.  Waiman Long as a
      patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET,
      but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the
      kernel.

      kvm: Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset · 489223ed
      Yoshihiro YUNOMAE 提交于
      Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
      We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
      TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
      each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
      host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
      calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
      the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
      want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
      (Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
      this case)
      
      This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
      SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
      converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.
      
      TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
      vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
      The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
      TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
      when TSC offset is changed.
      
      Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
      frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
      instance for getting this event:
      
      1. set a instance before booting a guest
       # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
       # mkdir tsc_offset
       # cd tsc_offset
       # echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
       # echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable
      
      2. boot a guest

      KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clock · b48aa97e

      per VM: the "master clock".

      KVM: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flag · d828199e
      Marcelo Tosatti 提交于
      KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest.
      One of the reasons for that is that the time between
      
      	1. ktime_get_ts(&timespec);
      	2. rdtscll(tsc);
      
      Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
      two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.
      
      The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances
      executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).
      
      If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when
      calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
      the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
      a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all
      vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
      of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.
      
      Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
      and guest TSCs.
      
      Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
      clock from userspace.

      tracing/kvm: Use __print_hex() for kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint · b102f1d0
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      The kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint used __print_insn()
      for printing its instructions. However it makes the
      format of the event hard to parse as it reveals TP
      internals.
      
      Fortunately, kernel provides __print_hex for almost
      same purpose, we can use it instead of open coding
      it. The user-space can be changed to parse it later.
      
      That means raw kernel tracing will not be affected

      KVM: host side for eoi optimization · ae7a2a3f
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      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'.
