powerpc/kernel: Rename PACA_DSCR to PACA_DSCR_DEFAULT

2015-06-07T09:29:00+00:00

PACA_DSCR offset macro tracks dscr_default element in the paca
structure. Better change the name of this macro to match that of the
data element it tracks. Makes the code more readable.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for signalling threads on POWER8

2015-04-21T13:21:34+00:00

This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller.  This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.

Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:

 rm_entry:     3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
  rm_exit:     4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
  rm_intr:     1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)

and this after the change:

 rm_entry:     3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
  rm_exit:     4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
  rm_intr:     1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)

for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.

The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.

The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use bitmap of active threads rather than count

2015-04-21T13:21:33+00:00

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each.  The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Get rid of vcore nap_count and n_woken

2015-04-21T13:21:32+00:00

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Minor cleanups

2015-04-21T13:21:32+00:00

* Remove unused kvmppc_vcore::n_busy field.
* Remove setting of RMOR, since it was only used on PPC970 and the
  PPC970 KVM support has been removed.
* Don't use r1 or r2 in setting the runlatch since they are
  conventionally reserved for other things; use r0 instead.
* Streamline the code a little and remove the ext_interrupt_to_host
  label.
* Add some comments about register usage.
* hcall_try_real_mode doesn't need to be global, and can't be
  called from C code anyway.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Accumulate timing information for real-mode code

2015-04-21T13:21:31+00:00

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:

* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
  just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
  guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
  host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
  return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
  while other threads in the same vcore are active.

These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.

The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

powerpc/kvm: Create proper names for the kvm_host_state PMU fields

2014-12-29T04:45:55+00:00

We have two arrays in kvm_host_state that contain register values for
the PMU. Currently we only create an asm-offsets symbol for the base of
the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code.

Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the
code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and
might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this
code.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of instruction obtained from HEIR register

2014-12-17T12:50:39+00:00

There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S.  If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register).  If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.

Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst.  The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness.  The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.

To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value.  Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.
