KVM: selftests: add shared hugetlbfs backing source type

2021-05-27T11:45:57+00:00

This lets us run the demand paging test on top of a shared
hugetlbfs-backed area. The "shared" is key, as this allows us to
exercise userfaultfd minor faults on hugetlbfs.

KVM: selftests: add shmem backing source type

2021-05-27T11:45:56+00:00

This lets us run the demand paging test on top of a shmem-backed area.
In follow-up commits, we'll 1) leverage this new capability to create an
alias mapping, and then 2) use the alias mapping to exercise UFFD minor
faults.

KVM: selftests: List all hugetlb src types specified with page sizes

2021-04-20T08:18:53+00:00

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB, we currently can only use system
default hugetlb pages to back the testing guest memory. In order to
add flexibility, now list all the known hugetlb backing src types with
different page sizes, so that we can specify use of hugetlb pages of the
exact granularity that we want. And as all the known hugetlb page sizes
are listed, it's appropriate for all architectures.

Besides, the helper get_backing_src_pagesz() is added to get the
granularity of different backing src types(anonumous, thp, hugetlb).

KVM: selftests: Add a helper to get system default hugetlb page size

2021-04-20T08:18:52+00:00

If HUGETLB is configured in the host kernel, then we can know the system
default hugetlb page size through *cat /proc/meminfo*. Otherwise, we will
not see the information of hugetlb pages in file /proc/meminfo if it's not
configured. So add a helper to determine whether HUGETLB is configured and
then get the default page size by reading /proc/meminfo.

This helper can be useful when a program wants to use the default hugetlb
pages of the system and doesn't know the default page size.

KVM: selftests: Add a helper to get system configured THP page size

2021-04-20T08:18:52+00:00

If we want to have some tests about transparent hugepages, the system
configured THP hugepage size should better be known by the tests, which
can be used for kinds of alignment or guest memory accessing of vcpus...
So it makes sense to add a helper to get the transparent hugepage size.

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_THP specified in vm_userspace_mem_region_add(),
we now stat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage to check whether THP is
configured in the host kernel before madvise(). Based on this, we can also
read file /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to get THP
hugepage size.

KVM: selftests: Add backing src parameter to dirty_log_perf_test

2021-02-04T10:27:19+00:00

Add a parameter to control the backing memory type for
dirty_log_perf_test so that the test can be run with hugepages.

KVM: selftests: Rename timespec_diff_now to timespec_elapsed

2021-02-04T10:27:17+00:00

In response to some earlier comments from Peter Xu, rename
timespec_diff_now to the much more sensible timespec_elapsed.

No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Introduce the dirty log perf test

2020-11-08T11:04:08+00:00

The dirty log perf test will time verious dirty logging operations
(enabling dirty logging, dirtying memory, getting the dirty log,
clearing the dirty log, and disabling dirty logging) in order to
quantify dirty logging performance. This test can be used to inform
future performance improvements to KVM's dirty logging infrastructure.

This series was tested by running the following invocations on an Intel
Skylake machine:
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20m -i 100 -v 64
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20g -i 5 -v 4
dirty_log_perf_test -b 4g -i 5 -v 32
demand_paging_test -b 20m -v 64
demand_paging_test -b 20g -v 4
demand_paging_test -b 4g -v 32
All behaved as expected.

KVM: selftests: Simplify demand_paging_test with timespec_diff_now

a given start time. Use that function to simplify the timekeeping in the
demand paging test.

KVM: selftests: Rework timespec functions and usage

2020-03-18T13:08:56+00:00

The steal_time test's timespec stop condition was wrong and should have
used the timespec functions instead to avoid being wrong, but
timespec_diff had a strange interface. Rework all the timespec API and
its use.
