This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:
rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: 3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.
The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

This replaces the assembler code for kvmhv_commence_exit() with C code
in book3s_hv_builtin.c. It also moves the IPI sending code that was
in book3s_hv_rm_xics.c into a new kvmhv_rm_send_ipi() function so it
can be used by kvmhv_commence_exit() as well as icp_rm_set_vcpu_irq().

On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
the primary thread.
On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
of its state, rather than after. That means that the other threads
exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
switched back to the host.
This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
in some corner cases.
Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
improvement. Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:
rm_entry: avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)
showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
mode guest exit and interrupt handling times. (The test was to start
the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

This arranges for threads that are napping due to their vcpu having
ceded or due to not having a vcpu to wake up at the end of the guest's
timeslice without having to be poked with an IPI. We do that by
arranging for the decrementer to contain a value no greater than the
number of timebase ticks remaining until the end of the timeslice.
In the case of a thread with no vcpu, this number is in the hypervisor
decrementer already. In the case of a ceded vcpu, we use the smaller
of the HDEC value and the DEC value.
Using the DEC like this when ceded means we need to save and restore
the guest decrementer value around the nap.

When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap. If the guest sends
an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
host unnecessarily. To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation. When napping
due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code. Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
host. This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
while other threads in the same vcore are active.
These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings". This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.
The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%. Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

Commit 4a157d61b48c ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of
instruction obtained from HEIR register") had the side effect that
we no longer reset vcpu->arch.last_inst to -1 on guest exit in
the cases where the instruction is not fetched from the guest.
This means that if instruction emulation turns out to be required
in those cases, the host will emulate the wrong instruction, since
vcpu->arch.last_inst will contain the last instruction that was
emulated.
This fixes it by making sure that vcpu->arch.last_inst is reset
to -1 in those cases.

We have two arrays in kvm_host_state that contain register values for
the PMU. Currently we only create an asm-offsets symbol for the base of
the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code.
Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the
code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and
might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this
code.

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
in that virtual core have to exit the guest. This is bad for
performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
are doing useful work.
The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
is currently not running on a physical CPU. The idea is to give this
VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
towards releasing the lock.
To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
the other threads are doing anything. If all the other threads
are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.
Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
confer. The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer. If the
timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS. In this case the
guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
H_CONFER again.
This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
handler. If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
for running the vcore. In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
rather than the target VCPU.
We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
the lock. This check is required by PAPR.

There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S. If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register). If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.
Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst. The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness. The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.
To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value. Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.
Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is
to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
put the thread into.
In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or
not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We
arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
case.
Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
hwthread_req to become zero.

- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)

if we received one. This means we're doing hardware access to the XICS interrupt

However, when running on a little endian system, this access is byte reversed.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.
When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.
No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

Patch queue for 3.16 - 2014-07-08
A few bug fixes to make 3.16 work well with KVM on PowerPC:
- Fix ppc32 module builds
- Fix Little Endian hosts
- Fix Book3S HV HPTE lookup with huge pages in guest
- Fix BookE lock leak
|
|
Both kvmppc_hv_entry_trampoline and kvmppc_entry_trampoline are
assembly functions that are exported to modules and also require
a valid r2.
As such we need to use _GLOBAL_TOC so we provide a global entry
point that establishes the TOC (r2).

Currently we forward MCEs to guest which have been recovered by guest.
And for unhandled errors we do not deliver the MCE to guest. It looks like
with no support of FWNMI in qemu, guest just panics whenever we deliver the
recovered MCEs to guest. Also, the existig code used to return to host for
unhandled errors which was casuing guest to hang with soft lockups inside
guest and makes it difficult to recover guest instance.
This patch now forwards all fatal MCEs to guest causing guest to crash/panic.
And, for recovered errors we just go back to normal functioning of guest
instead of returning to host. This fixes soft lockup issues in guest.
This patch also fixes an issue where guest MCE events were not logged to
host console.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include:
- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB
support and more
- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by
Catalin)
- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support
- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets
- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace
interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware
- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still, we
have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
always worked). And some optimizations too.
The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17"

The code that delivered a machine check to the guest after handling
it in real mode failed to load up r11 before calling kvmppc_msr_interrupt,
which needs the old MSR value in r11 so it can see the transactional
state there. This adds the missing load.

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance
monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect
of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools
such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should.
The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in
MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other
bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0.
Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative
conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but
doesn't.
The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a
counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0
value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for
the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading
MMCR0.

Since commit "efcac65 powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)"
it is no longer possible to set the DSCR on a per-CPU basis.
The old behaviour was to minipulate the DSCR SPR directly but this is no
longer sufficient: the value is quickly overwritten by context switching.
This patch stores the per-CPU DSCR value in a kernel variable rather than
directly in the SPR and it is used whenever a process has not set the DSCR
itself. The sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr) is unchanged.
Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)
now set all of the per-CPU values and reads return the last written value.
The new per-CPU default is added to the paca_struct and is used everywhere
outside of sysfs.c instead of the old global default.

Patch queue for 3.15 - 2014-05-12
This request includes a few bug fixes that really shouldn't wait for the next
release.
It fixes KVM on 32bit PowerPC when built as module. It also fixes the PV KVM
acceleration when NX gets honored by the host. Furthermore we fix transactional
memory support and numa support on HV KVM.

Testing by Michael Neuling revealed that commit e4e38121507a ("KVM:
PPC: Book3S HV: Add transactional memory support") is missing the code
that saves away the checkpointed state of the guest when switching to

patch but went missing somehow.

The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests
in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6f2dc4666:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use
SMT processor modes."
Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called
in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they
are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no
harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all
threads before they start guest.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"PPC and ARM do not have much going on this time. Most of the cool
stuff, instead, is in s390 and (after a few releases) x86.
ARM has some caching fixes and PPC has transactional memory support in
guests. MIPS has some fixes, with more probably coming in 3.16 as
QEMU will soon get support for MIPS KVM.
For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on
some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We
now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also
Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested
virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock
refinements.
For s390, the main news is asynchronous page faults, together with
improvements to IRQs (floating irqs and adapter irqs) that speed up
virtio devices"

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.
This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.
There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.
Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
removal patch.
Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
(also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).
We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
(non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
with a hwmon driver for the latter.
There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
loops.
On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
etc..."
