      KVM: Track TSC synchronization in generations · e26101b1
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      This allows us to track the original nanosecond and counter values
at each phase of TSC writing by the guest.  This gets us perfect
offset matching for stable TSC systems, and perfect software
computed TSC matching for machines with unstable TSC.

      KVM: Dont mark TSC unstable due to S4 suspend · 0dd6a6ed
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      During a host suspend, TSC may go backwards, which KVM interprets
as an unstable TSC.  Technically, KVM should not be marking the
TSC unstable, which causes the TSC clocksource to go bad, but we
need to be adjusting the TSC offsets in such a case.

Dealing with this issue is a little tricky as the only place we
can reliably do it is before much of the timekeeping infrastructure
is up and running.  On top of this, we are not in a KVM thread
context, so we may not be able to safely access VCPU fields.
Instead, we compute our best known hardware offset at power-up and
stash it to be applied to all VCPUs when they actually start running.

      KVM: Add last_host_tsc tracking back to KVM · 6f526ec5
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      The variable last_host_tsc was removed from upstream code.  I am adding
it back for two reasons.  First, it is unnecessary to use guest TSC
computation to conclude information about the host TSC.  The guest may
set the TSC backwards (this case handled by the previous patch), but
the computation of guest TSC (and fetching an MSR) is significanlty more
work and complexity than simply reading the hardware counter.  In addition,
we don't actually need the guest TSC for any part of the computation,
by always recomputing the offset, we can eliminate the need to deal with
the current offset and any scaling factors that may apply.

The second reason is that later on, we are going to be using the host
TSC value to restore TSC offsets after a host S4 suspend, so we need to
be reading the host values, not the guest values here.

      KVM: Fix last_guest_tsc / tsc_offset semantics · b183aa58
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      The variable last_guest_tsc was being used as an ad-hoc indicator
that guest TSC has been initialized and recorded correctly.  However,
it may not have been, it could be that guest TSC has been set to some
large value, the back to a small value (by, say, a software reboot).

This defeats the logic and causes KVM to falsely assume that the
guest TSC has gone backwards, marking the host TSC unstable, which
is undesirable behavior.

In addition, rather than try to compute an offset adjustment for the
TSC on unstable platforms, just recompute the whole offset.  This
allows us to get rid of one callsite for adjust_tsc_offset, which
is problematic because the units it takes are in guest units, but
here, the computation was originally being done in host units.

Doing this, and also recording last_guest_tsc when the TSC is written
allow us to remove the tricky logic which depended on last_guest_tsc
being zero to indicate a reset of uninitialized value.

Instead, we now have the guarantee that the guest TSC offset is
always at least something which will get us last_guest_tsc.

      KVM: Leave TSC synchronization window open with each new sync · 4dd7980b
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      Currently, when the TSC is written by the guest, the variable
ns is updated to force the current write to appear to have taken
place at the time of the first write in this sync phase.  This
leaves a cliff at the end of the match window where updates will
fall of the end.  There are two scenarios where this can be a
problem in practe - first, on a system with a large number of
VCPUs, the sync period may last for an extended period of time.

The second way this can happen is if the VM reboots very rapidly
and we catch a VCPU TSC synchronization just around the edge.
We may be unaware of the reboot, and thus the first VCPU might
synchronize with an old set of the timer (at, say 0.97 seconds
ago, when first powered on).  The second VCPU can come in 0.04
seconds later to try to synchronize, but it misses the window
because it is just over the threshold.

Instead, stop doing this artificial setback of the ns variable
and just update it with every write of the TSC.

It may be observed that doing so causes values computed by
compute_guest_tsc to diverge slightly across CPUs - note that
the last_tsc_ns and last_tsc_write variable are used here, and
now they last_tsc_ns will be different for each VCPU, reflecting
the actual time of the update.

However, compute_guest_tsc is used only for guests which already
have TSC stability issues, and further, note that the previous
patch has caused last_tsc_write to be incremented by the difference
in nanoseconds, converted back into guest cycles.  As such, only
boundary rounding errors should be visible, which given the
resolution in nanoseconds, is going to only be a few cycles and
only visible in cross-CPU consistency tests.  The problem can be
fixed by adding a new set of variables to track the start offset
and start write value for the current sync cycle.

      KVM: Improve TSC offset matching · 5d3cb0f6
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      There are a few improvements that can be made to the TSC offset
matching code.  First, we don't need to call the 128-bit multiply
(especially on a constant number), the code works much nicer to
do computation in nanosecond units.

Second, the way everything is setup with software TSC rate scaling,
we currently have per-cpu rates.  Obviously this isn't too desirable
to use in practice, but if for some reason we do change the rate of
all VCPUs at runtime, then reset the TSCs, we will only want to
match offsets for VCPUs running at the same rate.

Finally, for the case where we have an unstable host TSC, but
rate scaling is being done in hardware, we should call the platform
code to compute the TSC offset, so the math is reorganized to recompute
the base instead, then transform the base into an offset using the
existing API.

      KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling · cc578287
      由 Zachary Amsden 提交于 
      This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz'
to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider
each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate.  Instead, there is new
logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether
it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by
common code.  This means we can simply query the virtual rate at
any point, which is needed for software rate scaling.

There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor
differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally
provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed.  Instead,
we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is
the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling
will be used.  The default is 250ppm, which is the half the
threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation.

In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can
kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than
hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available
yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software
implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.
