timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the
dispatch trace log (DTL).  The guest can register an area of memory
for the DTL for a given vcpu.  The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM
fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu.

Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running,
either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are
executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu
thread that is running the vcore is preempted.  This includes time
when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall),

time.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area registration more robust

registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and
furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another
virtual CPU.  Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to
these areas at the time of registration or unregistration.  If this
is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu
is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus
pointer and corrupting memory.

This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so
we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields
aren't being used.  Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is
used to manage these updates.  There is also a spinlock which protects
access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr
fields.  (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa,
slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on
every guest entry and exit.)

This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry',
which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make secondary threads more robust against stray IPIs

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't
need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused
threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they
are offline).  We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything
to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running.
This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will
then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context,
it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the
MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host.

This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the
kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock
between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering
the guest.  With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the
unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray
IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel
if they do get woken for any reason.  Instead they will go into KVM code,
find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go
back to nap mode.

Takuya Yoshikawa [Sat, 3 Mar 2012 05:21:48 +0000 (14:21 +0900)]
KVM: Switch to srcu-less get_dirty_log()

We have seen some problems of the current implementation of
get_dirty_log() which uses synchronize_srcu_expedited() for updating
dirty bitmaps; e.g. it is noticeable that this sometimes gives us ms
order of latency when we use VGA displays.

Furthermore the recent discussion on the following thread
    "srcu: Implement call_srcu()"
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211
also motivated us to implement get_dirty_log() without SRCU.

This patch achieves this goal without sacrificing the performance of
both VGA and live migration: in practice the new code is much faster
than the old one unless we have too many dirty pages.

Implementation:

The key part of the implementation is the use of xchg() operation for
clearing dirty bits atomically.  Since this allows us to update only
BITS_PER_LONG pages at once, we need to iterate over the dirty bitmap
until every dirty bit is cleared again for the next call.

Although some people may worry about the problem of using the atomic
memory instruction many times to the concurrently accessible bitmap,
it is usually accessed with mmu_lock held and we rarely see concurrent
accesses: so what we need to care about is the pure xchg() overheads.

Another point to note is that we do not use for_each_set_bit() to check
which ones in each BITS_PER_LONG pages are actually dirty.  Instead we
simply use __ffs() in a loop.  This is much faster than repeatedly call
find_next_bit().

Performance:

The dirty-log-perf unit test showed nice improvements, some times faster
than before, except for some extreme cases; for such cases the speed of
getting dirty page information is much faster than we process it in the
userspace.

For real workloads, both VGA and live migration, we have observed pure
improvements: when the guest was reading a file during live migration,
we originally saw a few ms of latency, but with the new method the
latency was less than 200us.

12 years agoMake the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable
Linus Torvalds [Fri, 6 Apr 2012 20:54:56 +0000 (13:54 -0700)]
Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
    socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
    cannot touch it after queueing it like that.

    Fixes from Eric Dumazet.

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
    immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
    to transmit the PPP frame.

    But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

    David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until

The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.

The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.
