      arch: fix has_transparent_hugepage() · fd8cfd30
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
      is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
      builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
      not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
      answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
      called later (but so far it has not been called later).
      
      Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
      default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
      arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
      adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
      those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
      runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
      should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
      called).

      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.

      powerpc: Fix bad inline asm constraint in create_zero_mask() · b4c11211
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      In create_zero_mask() we have:
      
      	addi	%1,%2,-1
      	andc	%1,%1,%2
      	popcntd	%0,%1
      
      using the "r" constraint for %2. r0 is a valid register in the "r" set,
      but addi X,r0,X turns it into an li:
      
      	li	r7,-1
      	andc	r7,r7,r0
      	popcntd	r4,r7
      
      Fix this by using the "b" constraint, for which r0 is not a valid
      register.
      
      This was found with a kernel build using gcc trunk, narrowed down to
      when -frename-registers was enabled at -O2. It is just luck however
      that we aren't seeing this on older toolchains.
      
      Thanks to Segher for working with me to find this issue.
