      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context-switch HFSCR between host and guest on POWER9 · 769377f7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds code to allow us to use a different value for the HFSCR
      (Hypervisor Facilities Status and Control Register) when running the
      guest from that which applies in the host.  The reason for doing this
      is to allow us to trap the msgsndp instruction and related operations
      in future so that they can be virtualized.  We also save the value of
      HFSCR when a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt occurs, because
      the high byte of HFSCR indicates which facility the guest attempted to
      access.
      
      We save and restore the host value on guest entry/exit because some
      bits of it affect host userspace execution.
      
      We only do all this on POWER9, not on POWER8, because we are not
      intending to virtualize any of the facilities controlled by HFSCR on
      POWER8.  In particular, the HFSCR bit that controls execution of
      msgsndp and related operations does not exist on POWER8.  The HFSCR
      doesn't exist at all on POWER7.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable guests to use large decrementer mode on POWER9 · 1bc3fe81
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This allows userspace (e.g. QEMU) to enable large decrementer mode for
      the guest when running on a POWER9 host, by setting the LPCR_LD bit in
      the guest LPCR value.  With this, the guest exit code saves 64 bits of
      the guest DEC value on exit.  Other places that use the guest DEC
      value check the LPCR_LD bit in the guest LPCR value, and if it is set,
      omit the 32-bit sign extension that would otherwise be done.
      
      This doesn't change the DEC emulation used by PR KVM because PR KVM
      is not supported on POWER9 yet.
      
      This is partly based on an earlier patch by Oliver O'Halloran.

      KVM: PPC: VFIO: Add in-kernel acceleration for VFIO · 121f80ba
      Alexey Kardashevskiy 提交于
      This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
      and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO
      without passing them to user space which saves time on switching
      to user space and back.
      
      This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM.
      KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed
      it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation.
      If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to
      the user space; this is not expected to happen though.
      
      To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode),
      this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required
      to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will
      be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view
      of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till
      the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode.
      
      If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just
      clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it -
      for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables
      will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface
      to report to the guest about possible failures.
      
      This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to
      the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd
      and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which
      is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object
      is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode.
      
      This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it -
      once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't
      disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary
      cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler.
      
      This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user
      space.
      
      This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version
      causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys()
      returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing
      vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect().
      
      This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was
      introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal.
      
      Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s
      to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Invalidate TLB on radix guest vcpu movement · a29ebeaf
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      With radix, the guest can do TLB invalidations itself using the tlbie
      (global) and tlbiel (local) TLB invalidation instructions.  Linux guests
      use local TLB invalidations for translations that have only ever been
      accessed on one vcpu.  However, that doesn't mean that the translations
      have only been accessed on one physical cpu (pcpu) since vcpus can move
      around from one pcpu to another.  Thus a tlbiel might leave behind stale
      TLB entries on a pcpu where the vcpu previously ran, and if that task
      then moves back to that previous pcpu, it could see those stale TLB
      entries and thus access memory incorrectly.  The usual symptom of this
      is random segfaults in userspace programs in the guest.
      
      To cope with this, we detect when a vcpu is about to start executing on
      a thread in a core that is a different core from the last time it
      executed.  If that is the case, then we mark the core as needing a
      TLB flush and then send an interrupt to any thread in the core that is
      currently running a vcpu from the same guest.  This will get those vcpus
      out of the guest, and the first one to re-enter the guest will do the
      TLB flush.  The reason for interrupting the vcpus executing on the old
      core is to cope with the following scenario:
      
      	CPU 0			CPU 1			CPU 4
      	(core 0)			(core 0)			(core 1)
      
      	VCPU 0 runs task X      VCPU 1 runs
      	core 0 TLB gets
      	entries from task X
      	VCPU 0 moves to CPU 4
      							VCPU 0 runs task X
      							Unmap pages of task X
      							tlbiel
      
      				(still VCPU 1)			task X moves to VCPU 1
      				task X runs
      				task X sees stale TLB
      				entries
      
      That is, as soon as the VCPU starts executing on the new core, it
      could unmap and tlbiel some page table entries, and then the task
      could migrate to one of the VCPUs running on the old core and
      potentially see stale TLB entries.
      
      Since the TLB is shared between all the threads in a core, we only
      use the bit of kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush corresponding to the first
      thread in the core.  To ensure that we don't have a window where we
      can miss a flush, this moves the clearing of the bit from before the
      actual flush to after it.  This way, two threads might both do the
      flush, but we prevent the situation where one thread can enter the
      guest before the flush is finished.

      KVM: PPC: Decrease the powerpc default halt poll max value · f4944613
      Suraj Jitindar Singh 提交于
      KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the
      default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines
      the global maximum halt polling interval.
      
      The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any
      repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu
      usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling.
      This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with
      a comparatively small performance benefit.
      
      Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves
      to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power
      and performance which they are willing to make.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Adapt TLB invalidations to work on POWER9 · 7c5b06ca
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry)
      and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions.  Both instructions get a
      set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the
      instruction word.  The tlbiel instruction now has a second register
      operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and
      should otherwise contain 0.
      
      This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9
      as well as older processors.  Since we only handle HPT guests so
      far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction
      word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally
      execute different instructions depending on the processor.
      
      The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
      is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets.  Rather than
      using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on
      which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time
      and store it in the kvm_arch struct.  That will make it possible to
      get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with
      compatibility with future processors.
      
      Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the
      whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the
      guest on each processor.  Therefore we don't set all bits in the
      tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9.

      Yongji Xie 提交于
      This keeps a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries.
      On a page fault, if the entry exists in the cache, we can avoid some
      time-consuming paths, for example, looking up HPT, locking HPTE twice
      and searching mmio gfn from memslots, then directly call
      kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio().
      
      In current implenment, we limit the size of cache to four. We think
      it's enough to cover the high-frequency MMIO HPTEs in most case.
      For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio
      legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to
      1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry
      is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle
      notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO
      register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the
      system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per
      vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed,
      we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future.

      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one
      per CPU thread.  The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread
      register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests
      which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector.
      (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.)
      
      For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread
      in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value.  With this,
      the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure.  This
      also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one
      subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores
      would share a single VTB register.
      
      PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM
      has no notion of CPU threads or SMT.  For PR KVM we move the VTB
      state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

      This patch introduces an IRQ mapping structure, the

      Currently, we assume a separate IRQ mapping structure for
      each guest. Each kvmppc_passthru_irqmap has a mapping arrays,
      containing all defined real<->virtual IRQs.

      KVM: PPC: Implement existing and add new halt polling vcpu stats · 2a27f514
      Suraj Jitindar Singh 提交于
      vcpu stats are used to collect information about a vcpu which can be viewed
      in the debugfs. For example halt_attempted_poll and halt_successful_poll
      are used to keep track of the number of times the vcpu attempts to and
      successfully polls. These stats are currently not used on powerpc.
      
      Implement incrementation of the halt_attempted_poll and
      halt_successful_poll vcpu stats for powerpc. Since these stats are summed
      over all the vcpus for all running guests it doesn't matter which vcpu
      they are attributed to, thus we choose the current runner vcpu of the
      vcore.
      
      Also add new vcpu stats: halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and
      halt_wait_ns to be used to accumulate the total time spend polling
      successfully, polling unsuccessfully and waiting respectively, and
      halt_successful_wait to accumulate the number of times the vcpu waits.
      Given that halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns are
      expressed in nanoseconds it is necessary to represent these as 64-bit
      quantities, otherwise they would overflow after only about 4 seconds.
      
      Given that the total time spend either polling or waiting will be known and
      the number of times that each was done, it will be possible to determine
      the average poll and wait times. This will give the ability to tune the kvm
      module parameters based on the calculated average wait and poll times.

      KVM: Add provisioning for ulong vm stats and u64 vcpu stats · 8a7e75d4
      Suraj Jitindar Singh 提交于
      vms and vcpus have statistics associated with them which can be viewed
      within the debugfs. Currently it is assumed within the vcpu_stat_get() and
      vm_stat_get() functions that all of these statistics are represented as
      u32s, however the next patch adds some u64 vcpu statistics.
      
      Change all vcpu statistics to u64 and modify vcpu_stat_get() accordingly.
      Since vcpu statistics are per vcpu, they will only be updated by a single
      vcpu at a time so this shouldn't present a problem on 32-bit machines
      which can't atomically increment 64-bit numbers. However vm statistics
      could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time.
      To avoid the overhead of atomics make all vm statistics ulong such that
      they are 64-bit on 64-bit systems where they can be atomically incremented
      and are 32-bit on 32-bit systems which may not be able to atomically
      increment 64-bit numbers. Modify vm_stat_get() to expect ulongs.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement halt polling · 0cda69dd
      Suraj Jitindar Singh 提交于
      This patch introduces new halt polling functionality into the kvm_hv kernel
      module. When a vcore is idle it will poll for some period of time before
      scheduling itself out.
      
      When all of the runnable vcpus on a vcore have ceded (and thus the vcore is
      idle) we schedule ourselves out to allow something else to run. In the
      event that we need to wake up very quickly (for example an interrupt
      arrives), we are required to wait until we get scheduled again.
      
      Implement halt polling so that when a vcore is idle, and before scheduling
      ourselves, we poll for vcpus in the runnable_threads list which have
      pending exceptions or which leave the ceded state. If we poll successfully
      then we can get back into the guest very quickly without ever scheduling
      ourselves, otherwise we schedule ourselves out as before.
      
      There exists generic halt_polling code in virt/kvm_main.c, however on
      powerpc the polling conditions are different to the generic case. It would
      be nice if we could just implement an arch specific kvm_check_block()
      function, but there is still other arch specific things which need to be
      done for kvm_hv (for example manipulating vcore states) which means that a
      separate implementation is the best option.
      
      Testing of this patch with a TCP round robin test between two guests with
      virtio network interfaces has found a decrease in round trip time of ~15us
      on average. A performance gain is only seen when going out of and
      back into the guest often and quickly, otherwise there is no net benefit
      from the polling. The polling interval is adjusted such that when we are
      often scheduled out for long periods of time it is reduced, and when we
      often poll successfully it is increased. The rate at which the polling
      interval increases or decreases, and the maximum polling interval, can
      be set through module parameters.
      
      Based on the implementation in the generic kvm module by Wanpeng Li and
      Paolo Bonzini, and on direction from Paul Mackerras.

      KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll · 3491caf2
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
      s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
      would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
      transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
      This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
      This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
      should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
      
      For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
      known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
      interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
      by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
      woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
      This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
      expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
      not sucessful. As  KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
      we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
      
      This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
      transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
      while still providing a proper speedup.
      
      This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
      wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

      kvm: introduce KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID · 0b1b1dfd
      Greg Kurz 提交于
      The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and
      also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC
      which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the
      worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits
      the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8.
      
      This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with
      the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids
      plus one.
      
      The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids
      before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU.
      
      This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC.
      Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

      KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq · 8577370f
      Marcelo Tosatti 提交于
      The problem:
      
      On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
      
      1) hard interrupt
      2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
      3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
      4) vcpu thread is scheduled
      
      This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
      LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
      
      The solution:
      
      Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
      thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
      
      Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
      are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
      waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
      is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

      This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

      KVM: PPC: Increase memslots to 512 · 696066f8
      Thomas Huth 提交于
      Only using 32 memslots for KVM on powerpc is way too low, you can
      nowadays hit this limit quite fast by adding a couple of PCI devices
      and/or pluggable memory DIMMs to the guest.
      
      x86 already increased the KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS to 509, to satisfy 256
      pluggable DIMM slots, 3 private slots and 253 slots for other things
      like PCI devices (i.e. resulting in 256 + 3 + 253 = 512 slots in
      total). We should do something similar for powerpc, and since we do
      not use private slots here, we can set the value to 512 directly.
      
      While we're at it, also remove the KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM definition
      from the powerpc-specific header since this gets defined in the
      generic kvm_host.h header anyway.

      powerpc: Revert "Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8" · 23316316
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This reverts commit 9678cdaa ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition
      Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had
      multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional
      memory corruption.
      
      In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the
      source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what
      was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to
      by r0.
      
      The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could
      be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly
      defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the
      buffer.
      
      The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the
      write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the
      case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical
      core from the one where the write-out was initiated.
      
      These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the
      function (since the measured performance improvement from using the
      feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is
      the best option.

      KVM: add halt_attempted_poll to VCPU stats · 62bea5bf

      This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
      trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
      
      For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
      like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
      10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
      479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
      is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
      polling.  This would show as an abnormally high number of
      attempted polling compared to the successful polls.
