With everything separated and prepared, we implement a model of a GICv3 distributor and redistributors by using the existing framework to provide handler functions for each register group. Currently we limit the emulation to a model enforcing a single security state, with SRE==1 (forcing system register access) and ARE==1 (allowing more than 8 VCPUs). We share some of the functions provided for GICv2 emulation, but take the different ways of addressing (v)CPUs into account. Save and restore is currently not implemented. Similar to the split-off of the GICv2 specific code, the new emulation code goes into a new file (vgic-v3-emul.c).

Currently we unconditionally register the GICv2 emulation device during the host's KVM initialization. Since with GICv3 support we may end up with only v2 or only v3 or both supported, we move the registration into the GIC probing function, where we will later know which combination is valid.

Current linear search doesn't scale well when large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot is not in the beginning memslots array. Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from 'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for memslot lookup by GFN. As result of switching to binary search lookup times are reduced with large amount of memslots. Following is a table of search_memslot() cycles during WS2008R2 guest boot. boot, boot + ~10 min mostly same of using it, slot lookup randomized lookup max average average cycles cycles cycles 13 slots : 1450 28 30 13 slots : 1400 30 40 binary search 117 slots : 13000 30 460 117 slots : 2000 35 180 binary search Signed-off-by: NIgor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This reverts commit 85c8555f ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn. The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should be mapped as device memory. However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin, and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn' from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake and the patch above should be reverted.

由 Andres Lagar-Cavilla 提交于
When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other guest process to take over. If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency. This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case of IO wait.

Now that struct _irqfd does not keep a reference to storage pointed to by the irq_routing field of struct kvm, we can move the statement that updates it out from under the irqfds.lock and put it in kvm_set_irq_routing() instead. That means we then have to take a srcu_read_lock on kvm->irq_srcu around the irqfd_update call in kvm_irqfd_assign(), since holding the kvm->irqfds.lock no longer ensures that that the routing can't change. Combined with changing kvm_irq_map_gsi() and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin() to take a struct kvm * argument instead of the pointer to the routing table, this allows us to to move all references to kvm->irq_routing into irqchip.c.

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file, virt/kvm/irqchip.c. The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries, and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to a global interrupt number. This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][] into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry implementations. That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore, so this removes it. This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

由 Christian Borntraeger 提交于
When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec) when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks. Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides do not do rcu lockdep at all). Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods. Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation). (Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected, changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8% probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch. The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points). Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.

With KVM, MMIO is much slower than PIO, due to the need to do page walk and emulation. But with EPT, it does not have to be: we know the address from the VMCS so if the address is unique, we can look up the eventfd directly, bypassing emulation. Unfortunately, this only works if userspace does not need to match on access length and data. The implementation adds a separate FAST_MMIO bus internally. This serves two purposes: - minimize overhead for old userspace that does not use eventfd with lengtth = 0 - minimize disruption in other code (since we don't know the length, devices on the MMIO bus only get a valid address in write, this way we don't need to touch all devices to teach them to handle an invalid length) At the moment, this optimization only has effect for EPT on x86. It will be possible to speed up MMIO for NPT and MMU using the same idea in the future. With this patch applied, on VMX MMIO EVENTFD is essentially as fast as PIO. I was unable to detect any measureable slowdown to non-eventfd MMIO. Making MMIO faster is important for the upcoming virtio 1.0 which includes an MMIO signalling capability. The idea was suggested by Peter Anvin. Lots of thanks to Gleb for pre-review and suggestions. Signed-off-by: NMichael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

The maximum number for irq routes is currently 1024, which is a bit on the small size for s390: We support up to 4 x 64k virtual devices with up to 64 queues, and we need one route for each of the queues if we want to operate it via irqfd. Let's bump this to 4k on s390 for now, as this at least covers the saner setups. We need to find a more general solution, though, as we can't just grow the routing table indefinitly.

Introduce a new interrupt class for s390 adapter interrupts and enable irqfds for s390. This is depending on a new s390 specific vm capability, KVM_CAP_S390_IRQCHIP, that needs to be enabled by userspace.

When this was introduced, kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() could be called without holding mmu_lock. It is now acknowledged that the function must be called before releasing mmu_lock, and all callers have already been changed to do so. There is no need to use smp_mb() and cmpxchg() any more.

By setting a Kconfig option, the architecture can control when guest notifications will be presented by the apf backend. There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu thread should pull in this information. Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the information to the guest. This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface. Still the vcpu thread should call check_completion to cleanup leftovers. Signed-off-by: NDominik Dingel <dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

This patch adds a floating irq controller as a kvm_device. It will be necessary for migration of floating interrupts as well as for hardening the reset code by allowing user space to explicitly remove all pending floating interrupts.
