* cpuidle: add haltpoll governorMarcelo Tosatti2019-07-301-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpuidle_haltpoll governor, in conjunction with the haltpoll cpuidle driver, allows guest vcpus to poll for a specified amount of time before halting. This provides the following benefits to host side polling: 1) The POLL flag is set while polling is performed, which allows a remote vCPU to avoid sending an IPI (and the associated cost of handling the IPI) when performing a wakeup. 2) The VM-exit cost can be avoided. The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed even with other runnable tasks in the host. Results comparing halt_poll_ns and server/client application where a small packet is ping-ponged: host --> 31.33 halt_poll_ns=300000 / no guest busy spin --> 33.40 (93.8%) halt_poll_ns=0 / guest_halt_poll_ns=300000 --> 32.73 (95.7%) For the SAP HANA benchmarks (where idle_spin is a parameter of the previous version of the patch, results should be the same): hpns == halt_poll_ns idle_spin=0/ idle_spin=800/ idle_spin=0/ hpns=200000 hpns=0 hpns=800000 DeleteC06T03 (100 thread) 1.76 1.71 (-3%) 1.78 (+1%) InsertC16T02 (100 thread) 2.14 2.07 (-3%) 2.18 (+1.8%) DeleteC00T01 (1 thread) 1.34 1.28 (-4.5%) 1.29 (-3.7%) UpdateC00T03 (1 thread) 4.72 4.18 (-12%) 4.53 (-5%) Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virtChristoph Hellwig2019-07-2431-14557/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some events can provide a guest with information about other guests or the host (e.g. L3 cache stats); providing the capability to restrict access to a "safe" set of events would limit the potential for the PMU to be used in any side channel attacks. This change introduces a new VM ioctl that sets an event filter. If the guest attempts to program a counter for any blacklisted or non-whitelisted event, the kernel counter won't be created, so any RDPMC/RDMSR will show 0 instances of that event.

In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx". Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the following: * Define the "format" field values as macros. * Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

EPERM is marked as arm64-specific, since for now arm64 really is the only architecture that yields this error code for the finalization-required case.

| | * KVM: arm64/sve: Simplify KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS array sizingDave Martin2019-04-181-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complicated DIV_ROUND_UP() expression is currently written out explicitly in multiple places in order to specify the size of the bitmap exchanged with userspace to represent the value of the KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS pseudo-register. Userspace currently has no direct way to work this out either: for documentation purposes, the size is just quoted as 8 u64s. To make this more intuitive, this patch replaces these with a single define, which is also exported to userspace as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS. Since the number of words in a bitmap is just the index of the last word used + 1, this patch expresses the bound that way instead. This should make it clearer what is being expressed. For userspace convenience, the minimum and maximum possible vector lengths relevant to the KVM ABI are exposed to UAPI as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MIN, KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MAX. Since the only direct use for these at present is manipulation of KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS, no corresponding _VL_ macros are defined. They could be added later if a need arises. Since use of DIV_ROUND_UP() was the only reason for including <linux/kernel.h> in guest.c, this patch also removes that #include.

These interrupts are allocated at the OPAL level and "mapped" into the guest IRQ number space in the range 0-0x1FFF. Interrupt management is performed in the XIVE way: using loads and stores on the addresses of the XIVE IPI interrupt ESB pages. Both KVM devices share the same internal structure caching information on the interrupts, among which the xive_irq_data struct containing the addresses of the IPI ESB pages and an extra one in case of pass-through. The later contains the addresses of the ESB pages of the underlying HW controller interrupts, PHB4 in all cases for now. A guest, when running in the XICS legacy interrupt mode, lets the KVM XICS-over-XIVE device "handle" interrupt management, that is to perform the loads and stores on the addresses of the ESB pages of the guest interrupts. However, when running in XIVE native exploitation mode, the KVM XIVE native device exposes the interrupt ESB pages to the guest and lets the guest perform directly the loads and stores. The VMA exposing the ESB pages make use of a custom VM fault handler which role is to populate the VMA with appropriate pages. When a fault occurs, the guest IRQ number is deduced from the offset, and the ESB pages of associated XIVE IPI interrupt are inserted in the VMA (using the internal structure caching information on the interrupts). Supporting device passthrough in the guest running in XIVE native exploitation mode adds some extra refinements because the ESB pages of a different HW controller (PHB4) need to be exposed to the guest along with the initial IPI ESB pages of the XIVE IC controller. But the overall mechanic is the same. When the device HW irqs are mapped into or unmapped from the guest IRQ number space, the passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped() and kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped(), are called to record or clear the passthrough interrupt information and to perform the switch. The approach taken by this patch is to clear the ESB pages of the guest IRQ number being mapped and let the VM fault handler repopulate. The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW interrupt of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB page if the device is being removed.
