      KVM: s390: allocate only one DMA page per VM · c54f0d6a
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      We can fit the 2k for the STFLE interpretation and the crypto
control block into one DMA page. As we now only have to allocate
one DMA page, we can clean up the code a bit.

As a nice side effect, this also fixes a problem with crycbd alignment in
case special allocation debug options are enabled, debugged by Sascha
Silbe.

      KVM: s390: protect VCPU cpu timer with a seqcount · 9c23a131
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      For now, only the owning VCPU thread (that has loaded the VCPU) can get a
consistent cpu timer value when calculating the delta. However, other
threads might also be interested in a more recent, consistent value. Of
special interest will be the timer callback of a VCPU that executes without
having the VCPU loaded and could run in parallel with the VCPU thread.

The cpu timer has a nice property: it is only updated by the owning VCPU
thread. And speaking about accounting, a consistent value can only be
calculated by looking at cputm_start and the cpu timer itself in
one shot, otherwise the result might be wrong.

As we only have one writing thread at a time (owning VCPU thread), we can
use a seqcount instead of a seqlock and retry if the VCPU refreshed its
cpu timer. This avoids any heavy locking and only introduces a counter
update/check plus a handful of smp_wmb().

The owning VCPU thread should never have to retry on reads, and also for
other threads this might be a very rare scenario.

Please note that we have to use the raw_* variants for locking the seqcount
as lockdep will produce false warnings otherwise. The rq->lock held during
vcpu_load/put is also acquired from hardirq context. Lockdep cannot know
that we avoid potential deadlocks by disabling preemption and thereby
disable concurrent write locking attempts (via vcpu_put/load).

      KVM: s390: step VCPU cpu timer during kvm_run ioctl · db0758b2
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      Architecturally we should only provide steal time if we are scheduled
away, and not if the host interprets a guest exit. We have to step
the guest CPU timer in these cases.

In the first shot, we will step the VCPU timer only during the kvm_run
ioctl. Therefore all time spent e.g. in interception handlers or on irq
delivery will be accounted for that VCPU.

We have to take care of a few special cases:
- Other VCPUs can test for pending irqs. We can only report a consistent
  value for the VCPU thread itself when adding the delta.
- We have to take care of STP sync, therefore we have to extend
  kvm_clock_sync() and disable preemption accordingly
- During any call to disable/enable/start/stop we could get premeempted
  and therefore get start/stop calls. Therefore we have to make sure we
  don't get into an inconsistent state.

Whenever a VCPU is scheduled out, sleeping, in user space or just about
to enter the SIE, the guest cpu timer isn't stepped.

Please note that all primitives are prepared to be called from both
environments (cpu timer accounting enabled or not), although not completely
used in this patch yet (e.g. kvm_s390_set_cpu_timer() will never be called
while cpu timer accounting is enabled).

      KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq · 8577370f
      由 Marcelo Tosatti 提交于 
      The problem:

On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:

1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled

This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.

The solution:

Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.

Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

cyclictest command line:

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

      KVM: s390: fix memory overwrites when vx is disabled · 9abc2a08
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      The kernel now always uses vector registers when available, however KVM
has special logic if support is really enabled for a guest. If support
is disabled, guest_fpregs.fregs will only contain memory for the fpu.
The kernel, however, will store vector registers into that area,
resulting in crazy memory overwrites.

Simply extending that area is not enough, because the format of the
registers also changes. We would have to do additional conversions, making
the code even more complex. Therefore let's directly use one place for
the vector/fpu registers + fpc (in kvm_run). We just have to convert the
data properly when accessing it. This makes current code much easier.

Please note that vector/fpu registers are now always stored to
vcpu->run->s.regs.vrs. Although this data is visible to QEMU and
used for migration, we only guarantee valid values to user space  when
KVM_SYNC_VRS is set. As that is only the case when we have vector
register support, we are on the safe side.

      KVM: add halt_attempted_poll to VCPU stats · 62bea5bf
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.

For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling.  This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

      s390/kernel: lazy restore fpu registers · 9977e886
      由 Hendrik Brueckner 提交于 
      Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the
vector extension within the kernel.

The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore,
saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling
signals or switching processes only.  To prepare for using vector
instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save
behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a
system call or interrupt.

To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information
flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored.
Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be
interrupt-safe.  When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or
wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling,
the save_fpu_regs() must be called first.  The CIF_FPU flag is also set at
process switch.  At return to user space, the FPU state is restored.  In
particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register
contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control.  The
FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic
fashion.

For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring
the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started.
Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU
flag must be checked again right before going into SIE.  If set, the guest
registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop.  This
is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.

      KVM: s390: deliver floating interrupts in order of priority · 6d3da241
      由 Jens Freimann 提交于 
      This patch makes interrupt handling compliant to the z/Architecture
Principles of Operation with regard to interrupt priorities.

Add a bitmap for pending floating interrupts. Each bit relates to a
interrupt type and its list. A turned on bit indicates that a list
contains items (interrupts) which need to be delivered.  When delivering
interrupts on a cpu we can merge the existing bitmap for cpu-local
interrupts and floating interrupts and have a single mechanism for
delivery.
Currently we have one list for all kinds of floating interrupts and a
corresponding spin lock. This patch adds a separate list per
interrupt type. An exception to this are service signal and machine check
interrupts, as there can be only one pending interrupt at a time.

      KVM: s390: include guest facilities in kvm facility test · 981467c9
      由 Michael Mueller 提交于 
      Most facility related decisions in KVM have to take into account:

- the facilities offered by the underlying run container (LPAR/VM)
- the facilities supported by the KVM code itself
- the facilities requested by a guest VM

This patch adds the KVM driver requested facilities to the test routine.

It additionally renames struct s390_model_fac to kvm_s390_fac and its field
names to be more meaningful.

The semantics of the facilities stored in the KVM architecture structure
is changed. The address arch.model.fac->list now points to the guest
facility list and arch.model.fac->mask points to the KVM facility mask.

This patch fixes the behaviour of KVM for some facilities for guests
that ignore the guest visible facility bits, e.g. guests could use
transactional memory intructions on hosts supporting them even if the
chosen cpu model would not offer them.

The userspace interface is not affected by this change.

      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.
