      hax: fix breakage in locking · b3d3a426
      Vincent Palatin 提交于
      use qemu_mutex_lock_iothread consistently in qemu_hax_cpu_thread_fn() as
      done in other _thread_fn functions, instead of grabbing directly the
      BQL. This way we ensure that iothread_locked is properly set.
      
      On v2.9.0-rc0, QEMU was dying in an assertion in the mutex code when
      running with '--enable-hax' either on OSX or Windows. This bug was triggered
      since the code modification for multithreading added new usages of
      qemu_mutex_iothread_locked.
      This fixes the breakage on both platforms, I can now run again a full
      Chromium OS image with HAX kernel acceleration.

      icount: process QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers in vCPU thread · 6b8f0187
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      icount has become much slower after tcg_cpu_exec has stopped
      using the BQL.  There is also a latent bug that is masked by
      the slowness.
      
      The slowness happens because every occurrence of a QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
      timer now has to wake up the I/O thread and wait for it.  The rendez-vous
      is mediated by the BQL QemuMutex:
      
      - handle_icount_deadline wakes up the I/O thread with BQL taken
      - the I/O thread wakes up and waits on the BQL
      - the VCPU thread releases the BQL a little later
      - the I/O thread raises an interrupt, which calls qemu_cpu_kick
      - the VCPU thread notices the interrupt, takes the BQL to
        process it and waits on it
      
      All this back and forth is extremely expensive, causing a 6 to 8-fold
      slowdown when icount is turned on.
      
      One may think that the issue is that the VCPU thread is too dependent
      on the BQL, but then the latent bug comes in.  I first tried removing
      the BQL completely from the x86 cpu_exec, only to see everything break.
      The only way to fix it (and make everything slow again) was to add a dummy
      BQL lock/unlock pair.
      
      This is because in -icount mode you really have to process the events
      before the CPU restarts executing the next instruction.  Therefore, this
      series moves the processing of QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers straight in
      the vCPU thread when running in icount mode.
      
      The required changes include:
      
      - make the timer notification callback wake up TCG's single vCPU thread
        when run from another thread.  By using async_run_on_cpu, the callback
        can override all_cpu_threads_idle() when the CPU is halted.
      
      - move handle_icount_deadline after qemu_tcg_wait_io_event, so that
        the timer notification callback is invoked after the dummy work item
        wakes up the vCPU thread
      
      - make handle_icount_deadline run the timers instead of just waking the
        I/O thread.
      
      - stop processing the timers in the main loop

      tcg: handle EXCP_ATOMIC exception for system emulation · 08e73c48
      Pranith Kumar 提交于
      The patch enables handling atomic code in the guest. This should be
      preferably done in cpu_handle_exception(), but the current assumptions
      regarding when we can execute atomic sections cause a deadlock.
      
      The current mechanism discards the flags which were set in atomic
      execution. We ensure they are properly saved by calling the
      cc->cpu_exec_enter/leave() functions around the loop.
      
      As we are running cpu_exec_step_atomic() from the outermost loop we
      need to avoid an abort() when single stepping over atomic code since
      debug exception longjmp will point to the the setlongjmp in
      cpu_exec(). We do this by setting a new jmp_env so that it jumps back
      here on an exception.

      tcg: enable thread-per-vCPU · 37257942
      Alex Bennée 提交于
      There are a couple of changes that occur at the same time here:
      
        - introduce a single vCPU qemu_tcg_cpu_thread_fn
      
        One of these is spawned per vCPU with its own Thread and Condition
        variables. qemu_tcg_rr_cpu_thread_fn is the new name for the old
        single threaded function.
      
        - the TLS current_cpu variable is now live for the lifetime of MTTCG
          vCPU threads. This is for future work where async jobs need to know
          the vCPU context they are operating in.
      
      The user to switch on multi-thread behaviour and spawn a thread
      per-vCPU. For a simple test kvm-unit-test like:
      
        ./arm/run ./arm/locking-test.flat -smp 4 -accel tcg,thread=multi
      
      Will now use 4 vCPU threads and have an expected FAIL (instead of the
      unexpected PASS) as the default mode of the test has no protection when
      incrementing a shared variable.
      
      We enable the parallel_cpus flag to ensure we generate correct barrier
      and atomic code if supported by the front and backends. This doesn't
      automatically enable MTTCG until default_mttcg_enabled() is updated to
      check the configuration is supported.

      tcg: remove global exit_request · e5143e30
      Alex Bennée 提交于
      There are now only two uses of the global exit_request left.
      
      The first ensures we exit the run_loop when we first start to process
      pending work and in the kick handler. This is just as easily done by
      setting the first_cpu->exit_request flag.
      
      The second use is in the round robin kick routine. The global
      exit_request ensured every vCPU would set its local exit_request and
      cause a full exit of the loop. Now the iothread isn't being held while
      running we can just rely on the kick handler to push us out as intended.
      
      We lightly re-factor the main vCPU thread to ensure cpu->exit_requests
      cause us to exit the main loop and process any IO requests that might
      come along. As an cpu->exit_request may legitimately get squashed
      while processing the EXCP_INTERRUPT exception we also check
      cpu->queued_work_first to ensure queued work is expedited as soon as
      possible.

      tcg: drop global lock during TCG code execution · 8d04fb55
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      This finally allows TCG to benefit from the iothread introduction: Drop
      the global mutex while running pure TCG CPU code. Reacquire the lock
      when entering MMIO or PIO emulation, or when leaving the TCG loop.
      
      We have to revert a few optimization for the current TCG threading
      model, namely kicking the TCG thread in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread and not
      kicking it in qemu_cpu_kick. We also need to disable RAM block
      reordering until we have a more efficient locking mechanism at hand.
      
      Still, a Linux x86 UP guest and my Musicpal ARM model boot fine here.
      These numbers demonstrate where we gain something:
      
      20338 jan       20   0  331m  75m 6904 R   99  0.9   0:50.95 qemu-system-arm

      The guest CPU was fully loaded, but the iothread could still run mostly
      independent on a second core. Without the patch we don't get beyond
      
      32206 jan       20   0  330m  73m 7036 R   82  0.9   1:06.00 qemu-system-arm
      32204 jan       20   0  330m  73m 7036 S   21  0.9   0:17.03 qemu-system-arm
      
      We don't benefit significantly, though, when the guest is not fully
      loading a host CPU.

      tcg: rename tcg_current_cpu to tcg_current_rr_cpu · 791158d9
      Alex Bennée 提交于
      ..and make the definition local to cpus. In preparation for MTTCG the
      concept of a global tcg_current_cpu will no longer make sense. However
      we still need to keep track of it in the single-threaded case to be able
      to exit quickly when required.
      
      qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt() moves and becomes qemu_cpu_kick_rr_cpu() to
      emphasise its use-case. qemu_cpu_kick now kicks the relevant cpu as
      well as qemu_kick_rr_cpu() which will become a no-op in MTTCG.
      
      For the time being the setting of the global exit_request remains.
