commit 3491caf2 ("KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll") added more aggressive shrinking of the polling interval if the wakeup did not match some criteria. This still allows to keep polling enabled if the polling time was smaller that the current max poll time (block_ns <= vcpu->halt_poll_ns). Performance measurement shows that even more aggressive shrinking (shrink polling on any invalid wakeup) reduces absolute and relative (to the workload) CPU usage even further.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough. This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests. This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls. For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll. This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor, we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though. This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP while still providing a proper speedup. This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8. This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids plus one. The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU. This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC. Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

When growing halt-polling, there is no check that the poll time exceeds the limit. It's possible for vcpu->halt_poll_ns grow once past halt_poll_ns, and stay there until a halt which takes longer than vcpu->halt_poll_ns. For example, booting a Linux guest with halt_poll_ns=11000: ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 0 (shrink 10000) ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 10000 (grow 0) ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 20000 (grow 10000) Signed-off-by: NDavid Matlack <dmatlack@google.com> Fixes: aca6ff29 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

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.

由 Dan Williams 提交于
To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 18): The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

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.

In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only in primary, but also in secondary ptes. The latter is required in order to estimate wss of KVM VMs. At the same time we want to avoid flushing tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final result. Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet our requirements, so this patch introduces one. To achieve that we have to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb. The new method is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

There is a downside of always-poll since poll is still happened for idle vCPUs which can waste cpu usage. This patchset add the ability to adjust halt_poll_ns dynamically, to grow halt_poll_ns when shot halt is detected, and to shrink halt_poll_ns when long halt is detected. There are two new kernel parameters for changing the halt_poll_ns: halt_poll_ns_grow and halt_poll_ns_shrink. no-poll always-poll dynamic-poll ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Idle (nohz) vCPU %c0 0.15% 0.3% 0.2% Idle (250HZ) vCPU %c0 1.1% 4.6%~14% 1.2% TCP_RR latency 34us 27us 26.7us "Idle (X) vCPU %c0" is the percent of time the physical cpu spent in c0 over 60 seconds (each vCPU is pinned to a pCPU). (nohz) means the guest was tickless. (250HZ) means the guest was ticking at 250HZ. The big win is with ticking operating systems. Running the linux guest with nohz=off (and HZ=250), we save 3.4%~12.8% CPUs/second and get close to no-polling overhead levels by using the dynamic-poll. The savings should be even higher for higher frequency ticks.

Commit 1cde2930 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers") had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep caused dmesg splats. Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often (in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every userspace exit. To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from KVM.

Only two ioctls have to be modified; the address space id is placed in the higher 16 bits of their slot id argument. As of this patch, no architecture defines more than one address space; x86 will be the first. Reviewed-by: NRadim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

We need to hide SMRAM from guests not running in SMM. Therefore, all uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to use different address spaces, depending on whether the VCPU is in system management mode. We need to introduce a new family of functions for this purpose. For now, the VCPU-based functions have the same behavior as the existing per-VM ones, they just accept a different type for the first argument. Later however they will be changed to use one of many "struct kvm_memslots" stored in struct kvm, through an architecture hook. VM-based functions will unconditionally use the first memslots pointer. Whenever possible, this patch introduces slot-based functions with an __ prefix, with two wrappers for generic and vcpu-based actions. The exceptions are kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest, which are copied into the new functions kvm_vcpu_read_guest and kvm_vcpu_write_guest.

Most of the function that wrap it can be rewritten without it, except for gfn_to_pfn_prot. Just inline it into gfn_to_pfn_prot, and rewrite the other function on top of gfn_to_pfn_memslot*. Reviewed-by: NRadim Krcmar <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

The memory slot is already available from gfn_to_memslot_dirty_bitmap. Isn't it a shame to look it up again? Plus, it makes gfn_to_page_many_atomic agnostic of multiple VCPU address spaces. Reviewed-by: NRadim Krcmar <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more than one address space will be supported. Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted away in two places. Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures, and is left for later.
