kvm: x86: move ioapic.c and irq_comm.c back to arch/x86/

2014-11-21T17:02:37+00:00

ia64 does not need them anymore.  Ack notifiers become x86-specific
too.

KVM: EVENTFD: Remove inclusion of irq.h

2014-09-24T10:06:25+00:00

Commit c77dcac (KVM: Move more code under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD) added
functionality that depends on definitions in ioapic.h when
__KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC is defined.

At the same time, kvm-arm commit 0ba0951 (KVM: EVENTFD: remove inclusion
of irq.h) removed the inclusion of irq.h, an architecture-specific header
that is not present on ARM but which happened to include ioapic.h on x86.

Include ioapic.h directly in eventfd.c if __KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC is defined.
This fixes x86 and lets ARM use eventfd.c.

KVM: Move more code under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD

2014-08-06T12:24:47+00:00

Commits e4d57e1ee1ab (KVM: Move irq notifier implementation into
eventfd.c, 2014-06-30) included the irq notifier code unconditionally
in eventfd.c, while it was under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP before.

Similarly, commit 297e21053a52 (KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling
Kconfig option, 2014-06-30) moved code from CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_ROUTING
to CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD but forgot to move the pieces that used to be
under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP.

Together, this broke compilation without CONFIG_KVM_XICS.  Fix by adding
or changing the #ifdefs so that they point at CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling Kconfig option

2014-08-05T12:26:28+00:00

Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

KVM: Move irq notifier implementation into eventfd.c

2014-08-05T12:26:24+00:00

This moves the functions kvm_irq_has_notifier(), kvm_notify_acked_irq(),
kvm_register_irq_ack_notifier() and kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier()
from irqchip.c to eventfd.c.  The reason for doing this is that those
functions are used in connection with IRQFDs, which are implemented in
eventfd.c.  In future we will want to use IRQFDs on platforms that
don't implement the GSI routing implemented in irqchip.c, so we won't
be compiling in irqchip.c, but we still need the irq notifiers.  The
implementation is unchanged.

KVM: Move all accesses to kvm::irq_routing into irqchip.c

2014-08-05T12:26:20+00:00

Now that struct _irqfd does not keep a reference to storage pointed
to by the irq_routing field of struct kvm, we can move the statement
that updates it out from under the irqfds.lock and put it in
kvm_set_irq_routing() instead.  That means we then have to take a
srcu_read_lock on kvm->irq_srcu around the irqfd_update call in
kvm_irqfd_assign(), since holding the kvm->irqfds.lock no longer
ensures that that the routing can't change.

Combined with changing kvm_irq_map_gsi() and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin()
to take a struct kvm * argument instead of the pointer to the routing
table, this allows us to to move all references to kvm->irq_routing
into irqchip.c.  That in turn allows us to move the definition of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct into irqchip.c as well.

KVM: irqchip: Provide and use accessors for irq routing table

2014-08-05T12:26:16+00:00

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in
order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file,
virt/kvm/irqchip.c.  The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.

This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations.  That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore,
so this removes it.

This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

KVM: Don't keep reference to irq routing table in irqfd struct

2014-08-05T12:24:23+00:00

This makes the irqfd code keep a copy of the irq routing table entry
for each irqfd, rather than a reference to the copy in the actual
irq routing table maintained in kvm/virt/irqchip.c.  This will enable
us to change the routing table structure in future, or even not have a
routing table at all on some platforms.

The synchronization that was previously achieved using srcu_dereference
on the read side is now achieved using a seqcount_t structure.  That
ensures that we don't get a halfway-updated copy of the structure if
we read it while another thread is updating it.

We still use srcu_read_lock/unlock around the read side so that when
changing the routing table we can be sure that after calling
synchronize_srcu, nothing will be using the old routing.

kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING

2014-05-05T14:29:11+00:00

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: VMX: speed up wildcard MMIO EVENTFD

2014-04-17T17:01:43+00:00

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
includes an MMIO signalling capability.

The idea was suggested by Peter Anvin.  Lots of thanks to Gleb for
pre-review and suggestions.
