| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set. This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible, though that won't actually be active until the next change.

* | x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernelsJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native. It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

* xen: add xen_arch_resume()/xen_timer_resume hook for ia64 supportIsaku Yamahata2008-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add xen_timer_resume() hook. Timer resume should be done after event channel is resumed. add xen_arch_resume() hook when ipi becomes usable after resume. After resume, some cpu specific resource must be reinitialized on ia64 that can't be set by another cpu. However available hooks is run once on only one cpu so that ipi has to be used. During stop_machine_run() ipi can't be used because interrupt is masked. So add another hook after stop_machine_run(). Another approach might be use resume hook which is run by device_resume(). However device_resume() may be executed on suspend error recovery path. So it is necessary to determine whether it is executed on real resume path or error recovery path.

Fortunately this can only happen with a 32-bit hypervisor, which may possibly run out of mapping space. On a 64-bit hypervisor, this is a non-issue.

* | xen: implement save/restoreJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration. Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel prepares itself for saving by: 1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary. 2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices 3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0. 4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally 5 - Suspend the domain Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all the frozen processes are thawed.

* xen: deal with stale cr3 values when unpinning pagetablesJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed. This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 - which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3 values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

* paravirt: clean up lazy mode handlingJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions: 1. enter lazy cpu mode 2. leave lazy cpu mode 3. enter lazy mmu mode 4. leave lazy mmu mode 5. flush pending batched operations This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and seems to just cause complication. This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and "leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops. All the logic associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code (basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving). Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and re-entering the lazy mode. The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations are much simpler.
