      KVM: ARM: Update comments for kvm_handle_wfi · 82ea046c
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      Update comments to reflect what is really going on and add the TWE bit
      to the comments in kvm_arm.h.
      
      Also renames the function to kvm_handle_wfx like is done on arm64 for
      consistency and uber-correctness.

      ARM: KVM: Yield CPU when vcpu executes a WFE · 1f558098
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
      becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
      lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
      running at all.
      
      This creates contention, and the observed slowdown is 40x for
      hackbench. No, this isn't a typo.
      
      The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
      now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
      boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
      CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
      when the VM is severely overcommited.
      
      Quick test to estimate the performance: hackbench 1 process 1000
      
      2xA15 host (baseline):	1.843s
      
      2xA15 guest w/o patch:	2.083s
      4xA15 guest w/o patch:	80.212s
      8xA15 guest w/o patch:	Could not be bothered to find out
      
      2xA15 guest w/ patch:	2.102s
      4xA15 guest w/ patch:	3.205s
      8xA15 guest w/ patch:	6.887s
      
      So we go from a 40x degradation to 1.5x in the 2x overcommit case,
      which is vaguely more acceptable.

      KVM: ARM: Remove non-ASCII space characters · a7265fb1
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      Some strange character leaped into the documentation, which makes
      git-send-email behave quite strangely.  Get rid of this before it bites
      anyone else.

      Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
       "These are four patches for three construction sites:
      
         - Fix register decoding for the combination of multi-core processors
           and multi-threading.
      
         - Two more fixes that are part of the ongoing DECstation resurrection
           work.  One of these touches a DECstation-only network driver.
      
         - Finally Markos' trivial build fix for the AP/SP support.
      
        (With this applied now all MIPS defconfigs are building again)"
