10 years agokvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING

kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING

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).

KVM: MMU: lazily drop large spte

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later

be avoided

The idea is from Avi:
| As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea,
| since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces
| jitter.  This removes the need for the return value.

This version has fixed the issue reported in 6b73a9606, the reason of that
issue is that fast_page_fault() directly sets the readonly large spte to
writable but only dirty the first page into the dirty-bitmap that means
other pages are missed. Fixed it by only the normal sptes (on the

Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can

Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts
----------------------------------------
While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects,
KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of
intercepts. This worked out fine, because
- the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real
 for all pages up to memory size
- intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases
- all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current
  distros

Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc.
We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work
on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has
been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going
public.

GDB support
-----------
We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints.

Fixes/Cleanups
--------------
- Improve program check delivery
- Factor out the handling of transactional memory  on program checks
- Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB
- Several cleanups in the lowcore structure
- Documentation

NOTES
-----
- All patches touching base s390 are either ACKed or written by the s390
  maintainers
- One base KVM patch "KVM: add kvm_is_error_gpa() helper"
- One patch introduces the notion of VM device attributes

KVM: s390: add architecture compliant guest access functions

The new guest memory access function write_guest() and read_guest() can be
used to access guest memory in an architecture compliant way.
These functions will look at the vcpu's PSW and select the correct address
space for memory access and also perform correct address wrap around.
In case DAT is turned on, page tables will be walked otherwise access will
happen to real or absolute memory.

Any access exception will be recognized and exception data will be stored
in the vcpu's kvm_vcpu_arch.pgm member. Subsequently an exception can be
injected if necessary.

Missing are:
- key protection checks
- access register mode support
- program event recording support

This patch also adds write_guest_real(), read_guest_real(),
write_guest_absolute() and read_guest_absolute() guest functions which can
be used to access real and absolute storage. These functions currently do
not perform any access checks, since there is no use case (yet?).

KVM: VMX: speed up wildcard MMIO EVENTFD

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

is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.

Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.

Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.

Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================

[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]

The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.

Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70d87d7f56db5ff17e2253f3fa90e4f3
  [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.

We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).

 7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to

    the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.

    However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
    assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.

    To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,

that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier.

In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the
use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the
following way:
* the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the

* the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count
* the cpu fetches map->nr_extents
* the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the
  instructions in the body of the for loop

The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first
and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier
