Now that fpstate_init_curr() is not doing implicit allocations anymore, almost all uses of it involve a very simple pattern: if (!fpu->fpstate_active) fpstate_init_curr(fpu); which is basically activating the FPU fpstate if it was not active before. So propagate the check into the function itself, and rename the function according to its new purpose: fpu__activate_curr(fpu); Reviewed-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

Now that we always allocate the FPU context as part of task_struct there's no need for separate allocations - remove them and their primary failure handling code.

So 6 years ago we made the FPU fpstate dynamically allocated: aa283f49 ("x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v5") 61c4628b ("x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5") In hindsight this was a mistake: - it complicated context allocation failure handling, such as: /* kthread execs. TODO: cleanup this horror. */ if (WARN_ON(fpstate_alloc_init(fpu))) force_sig(SIGKILL, tsk); - it caused us to enable irqs in fpu__restore(): local_irq_enable(); /* * does a slab alloc which can sleep */ if (fpstate_alloc_init(fpu)) { /* * ran out of memory! */ do_group_exit(SIGKILL); return; } local_irq_disable(); - it (slightly) slowed down task creation/destruction by adding slab allocation/free pattens. - it made access to context contents (slightly) slower by adding one more pointer dereference. The motivation for the dynamic allocation was two-fold: - reduce memory consumption by non-FPU tasks - allocate and handle only the necessary amount of context for various XSAVE processors that have varying hardware frame sizes. These days, with glibc using SSE memcpy by default and GCC optimizing for SSE/AVX by default, the scope of FPU using apps on an x86 system is much larger than it was 6 years ago. For example on a freshly installed Fedora 21 desktop system, with a recent kernel, all non-kthread tasks have used the FPU shortly after bootup. Also, even modern embedded x86 CPUs try to support the latest vector instruction set - so they'll too often use the larger xstate frame sizes. So remove the dynamic allocation complication by embedding the FPU fpstate in task_struct again. This should make the FPU a lot more accessible to all sorts of atomic contexts. We could still optimize for the xstate frame size in the future, by moving the state structure to the last element of task_struct, and allocating only a part of that. This change is kept minimal by still keeping the ctx_alloc()/free() routines (that now do nothing substantial) - we'll remove them in the following patches.

So fpu_save_init() is a historic name that got its name when the only way the FPU state was FNSAVE, which cleared (well, destroyed) the FPU state after saving it. Nowadays the name is misleading, because ever since the introduction of FXSAVE (and more modern FPU saving instructions) the 'we need to reload the FPU state' part is only true if there's a pending FPU exception [*], which is almost never the case. So rename it to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() to make it clear what's happening. Also add a few comments about why we cannot keep registers in certain cases. Also clean up the control flow a bit, to make it more apparent when we are dropping/keeping FP registers, and to optimize the common case (of keeping fpregs) some more. [*] Probably not true anymore, modern instructions always leave the FPU state intact, even if exceptions are pending: because pending FP exceptions are posted on the next FP instruction, not asynchronously. They were truly asynchronous back in the IRQ13 case, and we had to synchronize with them, but that code is not working anymore: we don't have IRQ13 mapped in the IDT anymore. But a cleanup patch is obviously not the place to change subtle behavior.

'xsave.header::xstate_bv' is a misnomer - what does 'bv' stand for? It probably comes from the 'XGETBV' instruction name, but I could not find in the Intel documentation where that abbreviation comes from. It could mean 'bit vector' - or something else? But how about - instead of guessing about a weird name - we named the field in an obvious and descriptive way that tells us exactly what it does? So rename it to 'xfeatures', which is a bitmask of the xfeatures that are fpstate_active in that context structure. Eyesore like: fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP; is now much more readable: fpu->state->xsave.header.xfeatures |= XSTATE_FP; Which form is not just infinitely more readable, but is also shorter as well.

Introduce a simple fpu->fpstate_active flag in the fpu context data structure and use that instead of PF_USED_MATH in task->flags. Testing for this flag byte should be slightly more efficient than testing a bit in a bitmask, but the main advantage is that most FPU functions can now be performed on a 'struct fpu' alone, they don't need access to 'struct task_struct' anymore. There's a slight linecount increase, mostly due to the 'fpu' local variables and due to extra comments. The local variables will go away once we move most of the FPU methods to pure 'struct fpu' parameters.

The kvmclock spec says that the host will increment a version field to an odd number, then update stuff, then increment it to an even number. The host is buggy and doesn't do this, and the result is observable when one vcpu reads another vcpu's kvmclock data. There's no good way for a guest kernel to keep its vdso from reading a different vcpu's kvmclock data, but we don't need to care about changing VCPUs as long as we read a consistent data from kvmclock. (VCPU can change outside of this loop too, so it doesn't matter if we return a value not fit for this VCPU.) Based on a patch by Radim Krčmář.

Dirty logging tracks sptes in 4k granularity, meaning that large sptes have to be split. If live migration is successful, the guest in the source machine will be destroyed and large sptes will be created in the destination. However, the guest continues to run in the source machine (for example if live migration fails), small sptes will remain around and cause bad performance. This patch introduce lazy collapsing of small sptes into large sptes. The rmap will be scanned in ioctl context when dirty logging is stopped, dropping those sptes which can be collapsed into a single large-page spte. Later page faults will create the large-page sptes.

kvm_kvfree() provides exactly the same functionality as the new common kvfree() function - so let's simply replace the kvm function with the common function. Signed-off-by: NThomas Huth <thuth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling itself out via kvm_vcpu_block. This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host. In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal, or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache). The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in. With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU. Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around 1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU. The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll, that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU. While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second. Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark, instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick. The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and a smaller variance. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This patch adds new kvm_x86_ops dirty logging hooks to enable/disable dirty logging for particular memory slot, and to flush potentially logged dirty GPAs before reporting slot->dirty_bitmap to userspace. kvm x86 common code calls these hooks when they are available so PML logic can be hidden to VMX specific. SVM won't be impacted as these hooks remain NULL there.

This patch changes the second parameter of kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access from 'slot id' to 'struct kvm_memory_slot *' to align with kvm_x86_ops dirty logging hooks, which will be introduced in further patch. Better way is to change second parameter of kvm_arch_commit_memory_region from 'struct kvm_userspace_memory_region *' to 'struct kvm_memory_slot * new', but it requires changes on other non-x86 ARCH too, so avoid it now.
