      KVM: Improve TSC offset matching · 5d3cb0f6
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      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.

      KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling · cc578287
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      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.

      KVM: Fix simultaneous NMIs · 7460fb4a
      由 Avi Kivity 提交于 
      If simultaneous NMIs happen, we're supposed to queue the second
and next (collapsing them), but currently we sometimes collapse
the second into the first.

Fix by using a counter for pending NMIs instead of a bool; since
the counter limit depends on whether the processor is currently
in an NMI handler, which can only be checked in vcpu context
(via the NMI mask), we add a new KVM_REQ_NMI to request recalculation
of the counter.

      KVM: L1 TSC handling · d5c1785d
      由 Nadav Har'El 提交于 
      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().

      KVM: MMU: Do not unconditionally read PDPTE from guest memory · e4e517b4
      由 Avi Kivity 提交于 
      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.

      KVM: Use __print_symbolic() for vmexit tracepoints · 0d460ffc
      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.

      KVM: x86: Raise the hard VCPU count limit · 8c3ba334
      由 Sasha Levin 提交于 
      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.

      KVM: Steal time implementation · c9aaa895
      由 Glauber Costa 提交于 
      To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.

This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.

Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time

This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.
