KVM: async_pf: make rcu irq exit if not triggered from idle task

2017-08-11T15:33:52Z

commit 337c017ccdf2653d0040099433fc1a2b1beb5926 upstream. WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1242 at kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:323 rcu_note_context_switch+0x207/0x6b0 CPU: 5 PID: 1242 Comm: unity-settings- Not tainted 4.13.0-rc2+ #1 RIP: 0010:rcu_note_context_switch+0x207/0x6b0 Call Trace: __schedule+0xda/0xba0 ? kvm_async_pf_task_wait+0x1b2/0x270 schedule+0x40/0x90 kvm_async_pf_task_wait+0x1cc/0x270 ? prepare_to_swait+0x22/0x70 do_async_page_fault+0x77/0xb0 ? do_async_page_fault+0x77/0xb0 async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 RIP: 0010:__d_lookup_rcu+0x90/0x1e0 I encounter this when trying to stress the async page fault in L1 guest w/ L2 guests running. Commit 9b132fbe5419 (Add rcu user eqs exception hooks for async page fault) adds rcu_irq_enter/exit() to kvm_async_pf_task_wait() to exit cpu idle eqs when needed, to protect the code that needs use rcu. However, we need to call the pair even if the function calls schedule(), as seen from the above backtrace. This patch fixes it by informing the RCU subsystem exit/enter the irq towards/away from idle for both n.halted and !n.halted. Cc: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Radim Krčmář Cc: Paul E.

kvm: async_pf: fix rcu_irq_enter() with irqs enabled

2017-06-06T12:43:16Z

native_safe_halt enables interrupts, and you just shouldn't call rcu_irq_enter() with interrupts enabled. Reorder the call with the following local_irq_disable() to respect the invariant.

x86/kvm: virt_xxx memory barriers instead of mandatory barriers

2017-04-12T18:17:38Z

virt_xxx memory barriers are implemented trivially using the low-level __smp_xxx macros, __smp_xxx is equal to a compiler barrier for strong TSO memory model, however, mandatory barriers will unconditional add memory barriers, this patch replaces the rmb() in kvm_steal_clock() by virt_rmb().

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "4.11 is going to be a relatively large release for KVM, with a little over 200 commits and noteworthy changes for most architectures. ARM: - GICv3 save/restore - cache flushing fixes - working MSI injection for GICv3 ITS - physical timer emulation MIPS: - various improvements under the hood - support for SMP guests - a large rewrite of MMU emulation. KVM MIPS can now use MMU notifiers to support copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, ballooning and everything else. KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is also supported, so that writes to some memory regions can be treated as MMIO. The new MMU also paves the way for hardware virtualization support. PPC: - support for POWER9 using the radix-tree MMU for host and guest - resizable hashed page table - bugfixes. s390: - expose more features to the guest - more SIMD extensions - instruction execution protection - ESOP2 x86: - improved hashing in the MMU - faster PageLRU tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A/D bits - some refactoring of nested VMX entry/exit code, preparing for live migration support of nested hypervisors - expose yet another AVX512 CPUID bit - host-to-guest PTP support - refactoring of interrupt injection, with some optimizations thrown in and some duct tape removed. - remove lazy FPU handling - optimizations of user-mode exits - optimizations of vcpu_is_preempted() for KVM guests generic: - alternative signaling mechanism that doesn't pound on tsk->sighand->siglock" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (195 commits) x86/kvm: Provide optimized version of vcpu_is_preempted() for x86-64 x86/paravirt: Change vcp_is_preempted() arg type to long KVM: VMX: use correct vmcs_read/write for guest segment selector/base x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exit x86/asm/64: Drop __cacheline_aligned from struct x86_hw_tss x86/kvm/vmx: Simplify segment_base() x86/kvm/vmx: Get rid of segment_base() on 64-bit kernels x86/kvm/vmx: Don't fetch the TSS base from the GDT x86/asm: Define the kernel TSS limit in a macro kvm: fix page struct leak in handle_vmon KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Disable HPT resizing on POWER9 for now KVM: Return an error code only as a constant in kvm_get_dirty_log() KVM: Return an error code only as a constant in kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() KVM: Return directly after a failed copy_from_user() in kvm_vm_compat_ioctl() KVM: x86: remove code for lazy FPU handling KVM: race-free exit from KVM_RUN without POSIX signals KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Turn "KVM guest htab" message into a debug message KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Ratelimit copy data failure error messages KVM: Support vCPU-based gfn->hva cache KVM: use separate generations for each address space ...

x86/kvm: Provide optimized version of vcpu_is_preempted() for x86-64

2017-02-21T11:48:35Z

It was found when running fio sequential write test with a XFS ramdisk on a KVM guest running on a 2-socket x86-64 system, the %CPU times as reported by perf were as follows: 69.75% 0.59% fio [k] down_write 69.15% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed 67.12% 1.12% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 63.48% 52.77% fio [k] osq_lock 9.46% 7.88% fio [k] __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt 3.93% 3.93% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted Making vcpu_is_preempted() a callee-save function has a relatively high cost on x86-64 primarily due to at least one more cacheline of data access from the saving and restoring of registers (8 of them) to and from stack as well as one more level of function call. To reduce this performance overhead, an optimized assembly version of the the __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() function is provided for x86-64. With this patch applied on a KVM guest on a 2-socket 16-core 32-thread system with 16 parallel jobs (8 on each socket), the aggregrate bandwidth of the fio test on an XFS ramdisk were as follows: I/O Type w/o patch with patch -------- --------- ---------- random read 8141.2 MB/s 8497.1 MB/s seq read 8229.4 MB/s 8304.2 MB/s random write 1675.5 MB/s 1701.5 MB/s seq write 1681.3 MB/s 1699.9 MB/s There are some increases in the aggregated bandwidth because of the patch. The perf data now became: 70.78% 0.58% fio [k] down_write 70.20% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed 69.70% 1.17% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 59.91% 55.42% fio [k] osq_lock 10.14% 10.14% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted The assembly code was verified by using a test kernel module to compare the output of C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() and that of assembly __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() to verify that they matched.

x86/paravirt: Change vcp_is_preempted() arg type to long

2017-02-21T11:48:06Z

The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted() is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better optimized assembly version of that function. For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed 32 bits.

locking/spinlocks/x86, paravirt: Remove paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled

2017-01-14T08:33:46Z

This is a follow-up of commit: cfd8983f03c7b2 ("x86, locking/spinlocks: Remove ticket (spin)lock implementation") The static_key structure 'paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled' is now removed as it is no longer used. As a result, the init functions kvm_spinlock_init_jump() and xen_init_spinlocks_jump() are also removed. A simple build and boot test was done to verify it.
