New AMD processors (Family 0x10 models 8+) support the Pause Filter Feature. This feature creates a new field in the VMCB called Pause Filter Count. If Pause Filter Count is greater than 0 and intercepting PAUSEs is enabled, the processor will increment an internal counter when a PAUSE instruction occurs instead of intercepting. When the internal counter reaches the Pause Filter Count value, a PAUSE intercept will occur. This feature can be used to detect contended spinlocks, especially when the lock holding VCPU is not scheduled. Rescheduling another VCPU prevents the VCPU seeking the lock from wasting its quantum by spinning idly. Experimental results show that most spinlocks are held for less than 1000 PAUSE cycles or more than a few thousand. Default the Pause Filter Counter to 3000 to detect the contended spinlocks. Processor support for this feature is indicated by a CPUID bit. On a 24 core system running 4 guests each with 16 VCPUs, this patch improved overall performance of each guest's 32 job kernbench by approximately 3-5% when combined with a scheduler algorithm thati caused the VCPU to sleep for a brief period. Further performance improvement may be possible with a more sophisticated yield algorithm.

New NHM processors will support Pause-Loop Exiting by adding 2 VM-execution control fields: PLE_Gap - upper bound on the amount of time between two successive executions of PAUSE in a loop. PLE_Window - upper bound on the amount of time a guest is allowed to execute in a PAUSE loop If the time, between this execution of PAUSE and previous one, exceeds the PLE_Gap, processor consider this PAUSE belongs to a new loop. Otherwise, processor determins the the total execution time of this loop(since 1st PAUSE in this loop), and triggers a VM exit if total time exceeds the PLE_Window. * Refer SDM volume 3b section 21.6.13 & 22.1.3. Pause-Loop Exiting can be used to detect Lock-Holder Preemption, where one VP is sched-out after hold a spinlock, then other VPs for same lock are sched-in to waste the CPU time. Our tests indicate that most spinlocks are held for less than 212 cycles. Performance tests show that with 2X LP over-commitment we can get +2% perf improvement for kernel build(Even more perf gain with more LPs).

This patch adds a tracepoint for the event that the guest executed the SKINIT instruction. This information is important because SKINIT is an SVM extenstion not yet implemented by nested SVM and we may need this information for debugging hypervisors that do not yet run on nested SVM.

The nested SVM code emulates a #vmexit caused by a request to open the irq window right in the request function. This is a bug because the request function runs with preemption and interrupts disabled but the #vmexit emulation might sleep. This can cause a schedule()-while-atomic bug and is fixed with this patch. Signed-off-by: NJoerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

If event_inj is valid on a #vmexit the host CPU would write the contents to exit_int_info, so the hypervisor knows that the event wasn't injected. We don't do this in nested SVM by now which is a bug and fixed by this patch.

For a while now, we are issuing a rdmsr instruction to find out which msrs in our save list are really supported by the underlying machine. However, it fails to account for kvm-specific msrs, such as the pvclock ones. This patch moves then to the beginning of the list, and skip testing them.

They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and vulnerable to various startup races. Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement is required. On such machines, when a new CPU online is brought online, it isn't clear what frequency it will start with, and it may not correspond to the reference, thus in hardware_enable we clear the cpu_tsc_khz variable to zero and make sure it is set before running on a VCPU.

X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB entries (svm). Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking other VMMs. To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine and disabled on destruction of the last one. So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other hypervisors usable.
