      mmu-notifier: add clear_young callback · 1d7715c6
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by
the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only
in primary, but also in secondary ptes.  The latter is required in order
to estimate wss of KVM VMs.  At the same time we want to avoid flushing
tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final
result.

Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet
our requirements, so this patch introduces one.  To achieve that we have
to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method
for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb.  The new method
is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

      KVM: implement multiple address spaces · f481b069
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      Only two ioctls have to be modified; the address space id is
placed in the higher 16 bits of their slot id argument.

As of this patch, no architecture defines more than one
address space; x86 will be the first.

      KVM: add vcpu-specific functions to read/write/translate GFNs · 8e73485c
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      We need to hide SMRAM from guests not running in SMM.  Therefore, all
uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to use
different address spaces, depending on whether the VCPU is in system
management mode.  We need to introduce a new family of functions for
this purpose.

For now, the VCPU-based functions have the same behavior as the
existing per-VM ones, they just accept a different type for the
first argument.  Later however they will be changed to use one of many
"struct kvm_memslots" stored in struct kvm, through an architecture hook.
VM-based functions will unconditionally use the first memslots pointer.

Whenever possible, this patch introduces slot-based functions with an
__ prefix, with two wrappers for generic and vcpu-based actions.
The exceptions are kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest, which are copied
into the new functions kvm_vcpu_read_guest and kvm_vcpu_write_guest.

      KVM: export __gfn_to_pfn_memslot, drop gfn_to_pfn_async · 3520469d
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      gfn_to_pfn_async is used in just one place, and because of x86-specific
treatment that place will need to look at the memory slot.  Hence inline
it into try_async_pf and export __gfn_to_pfn_memslot.

The patch also switches the subsequent call to gfn_to_pfn_prot to use
__gfn_to_pfn_memslot.  This is a small optimization.  Finally, remove
the now-unused async argument of __gfn_to_pfn.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Create debugfs file for each guest's HPT · e23a808b
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
read.  The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
process that created the guest.  The file is named "htab".  This is
intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
of guest memory.

The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:

  3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196

The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
entry, so it contains the guest physical address.  (The format of the
second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

      kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter · f7819512
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      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.
