Only the host kernel runs in supervisor mode. +Executing privileged instructions in the guest traps into KVM (in the host +kernel), where we decode and emulate them. Through this technique, unmodified +440 Linux kernels can be run (slowly) as guests. Future performance work will +focus on reducing the overhead and frequency of these traps. + +The usual code flow is started from userspace invoking an "run" ioctl, which +causes KVM to switch into guest context. We use IVPR to hijack the host +interrupt vectors while running the guest, which allows us to direct all +interrupts to kvmppc_handle_interrupt(). At this point, we could either +- handle the interrupt completely (e.g. emulate "mtspr SPRG0"), or +- let the host interrupt handler run (e.g. when the decrementer fires), or +- return to host userspace (e.g. when the guest performs device MMIO) + +Address spaces: We take advantage of the fact that Linux doesn't use the AS=1 +address space (in host or guest), which gives us virtual address space to use +for guest mappings.

This reduces the overhead of lightweight +exits, which are handled by KVM running in the host kernel. We keep three +copies of the TLB: + - guest TLB: contents of the TLB as the guest sees it + - shadow TLB: the TLB that is actually in hardware while guest is running + - host TLB: to restore TLB state when context switching guest -> host +When a TLB miss occurs because a mapping was not present in the shadow TLB, +but was present in the guest TLB, KVM handles the fault without invoking the +guest. Large guest pages are backed by multiple 4KB shadow pages through this +mechanism. + +IO: MMIO and DCR accesses are emulated by userspace. We use virtio for network +and block IO, so those drivers must be enabled in the guest. It's possible +that some qemu device emulation (e.g. e1000 or rtl8139) may also work with +little effort. diff --git a/Documentation/s390/kvm.txt b/Documentation/s390/kvm.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..6f5ceb0f09fc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/s390/kvm.txt @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ +*** BIG FAT WARNING *** +The kvm module is currently in EXPERIMENTAL state for s390.

"Usage" here means one of the following: + +1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy() + API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps + interface. + +2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node + or node lists, if any, for page allocation. This is considered a "hot + path". Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire + allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the + BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes. + +We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as +follows: + +1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never + changed nor freed, once the system is up and running. + +2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the + target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the + task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query. The set_mempolicy() and + mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when + installing or replacing task or vma policies. Thus, there is no possibility + of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is + querying it. + +3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where + we hold them mmap_sem for read.

One task can replace a + shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is + querying or allocating a page based on the policy.
