      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fixes for late-joining threads · 2f12f034
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads
      in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is
      possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without
      first pulling them all out of the guest.  Currently this only happens
      rarely, when a vcpu is first started.  This fixes some bugs and
      omissions in the code in this case.
      
      First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make
      a DTL entry for it.  Secondly, if it comes along while the master
      vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the
      master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core.  To handle this correctly
      we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING.  Thirdly, there is
      a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req
      before waiting to see it get to nap.  A latecomer thread could have
      its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore
      never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap
      timeouts.

      KVM: PPC: Book3s HV: Don't access runnable threads list without vcore lock · 913d3ff9
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable
      threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding
      the vcore spinlock.  This extends the places where we hold the vcore
      spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list.
      
      Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
      this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
      kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
      
      In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
      all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
      caller has already done that.  The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
      actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
      
      The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we
      never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or
      EXITING.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM guests to stop secondary threads coming online · 512691d4
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
      single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
      the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
      active hardware thread.  This is because of the hardware restriction
      in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
      must be in the same logical partition.  Complying with this restriction
      is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
      hardware thread is active.
      
      This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
      make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
      thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists.  The KVM
      code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
      secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
      sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

      powerpc/powernv: Always go into nap mode when CPU is offline · 375f561a
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
      offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
      However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
      to be offline and in nap mode.  Since we know nap mode works just
      fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
      powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
      always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
      Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
      when idle, as before.

      cputime: Consolidate vtime handling on context switch · baa36046
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
      flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
      and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
      next task to account its cputime.
      
      These archs all put their own hooks in their context
      switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.
      
      Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
      callback called in generic code right after a context switch
      and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
      cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.
