| * | | KVM: PPC: Use PACA backed shadow vcpuAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault. After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there. That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it less racy and less complex. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
| * | | KVM: PPC: Add helpers for CR, XERAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now have helpers for the GPRs, so let's also add some for CR and XER. Having them in the PACA simplifies code a lot, as we don't need to care about where to store CC or not to overflow any integers.

| * | | KVM: PPC: Use accessor functions for GPR accessAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All code in PPC KVM currently accesses gprs in the vcpu struct directly. While there's nothing wrong with that wrt the current way gprs are stored and loaded, it doesn't suffice for the PACA acceleration that will follow in this patchset. So let's just create little wrapper inline functions that we call whenever a GPR needs to be read from or written to. The compiled code shouldn't really change at all for now.

| * | | KVM: PPC: Enable lightweight exits againAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PowerPC C ABI defines that registers r14-r31 need to be preserved across function calls. Since our exit handler is written in C, we can make use of that and don't need to reload r14-r31 on every entry/exit cycle. This technique is also used in the BookE code and is called "lightweight exits" there. To follow the tradition, it's called the same in Book3S. So far this optimization was disabled though, as the code didn't do what it was expected to do, but failed to work. This patch fixes and enables lightweight exits again.

| * | | KVM: PPC: Fix typo in rebolting codeAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we're loading bolted entries into the SLB again, we're checking if an entry is in use and only slbmte it when it is. Unfortunately, the check always goes to the skip label of the first entry, resulting in an endless loop when it actually gets triggered.

| * | | KVM: powerpc: Improve DEC handlingAlexander Graf2010-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We treated the DEC interrupt like an edge based one. This is not true for Book3s. The DEC keeps firing until mtdec is issued again and thus clears the interrupt line. So let's implement this logic in KVM too. This patch moves the line clearing from the firing of the interrupt to the mtdec emulation. This makes PPC64 guests work without AGGRESSIVE_DEC defined.

Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds in userspace) - write logging is supported (good for migration) - support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm) common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself. What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls. Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm. How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac etc. Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes. Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to 4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU utilization. Features that I plan to look at in the future: - mergeable buffers - zero copy - scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU): what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

This creates problems when profiling an interrupt heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload). Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never happen so remove that too. Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve. This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections. Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader for now... Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
