This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

With all the necessary GICv3 emulation code in place, we can now

The LR register handling is different depending on the emulated GIC
model, so provide different implementations for each.
Also allow non-v2-compatible GICv3 implementations (which don't
provide MMIO regions for the virtual CPU interface in the DT), but
restrict those hosts to support GICv3 guests only.
If the device tree provides a GICv2 compatible GICV resource entry,
but that one is faulty, just disable the GICv2 emulation and let the
user use at least the GICv3 emulation for guests.

While the generation of a (virtual) inter-processor interrupt (SGI)
on a GICv2 works by writing to a MMIO register, GICv3 uses the system
register ICC_SGI1R_EL1 to trigger them.
Add a trap handler function that calls the new SGI register handler
in the GICv3 code. As ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE at this point is still always 0,
this will not trap yet, but will only be used later when all the data
structures have been initialized properly.

For a GICv2 there is always only one (v)CPU involved: the one that

Before commit 0e60b0799f (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size
to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning
that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero.
On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid
memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0.
Because of this, commit 0e60b0799f broke the invariant that invalid
memslots are at the end of the mslots array. When a memslot with
base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left
in place.
This can be fixed by changing the insertion to use a ">=" comparison
instead of "<=", but some care is needed to avoid breaking the case
of deleting a memslot; see the comment in update_memslots.

- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-assisted
virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes
For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests. XSAVES hosts were broken because
the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM userspace
ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is going to stable.
Guest support is just a matter of exposing the feature and CPUID leaves
support.
Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).
I'll reply to the pull request with a patch, please apply it either
before the pull request or in the merge commit, in order to preserve
bisectability somewhat.

It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
the virtual timer going nowhere.
To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
(and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
initialized in-kernel VGIC.
When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
if there's an error there.
We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
a void function, since the function always succeeds.

Userspace assumes that it can wire up IRQ injections after having
created all VCPUs and after having created the VGIC, but potentially
before starting the first VCPU. This can currently lead to lost IRQs
because the state of that IRQ injection is not stored anywhere and we
don't return an error to userspace.
We haven't seen this problem manifest itself yet, presumably because
guests reset the devices on boot, but this could cause issues with
migration and other non-standard startup configurations.

Some code paths will need to check to see if the internal state of the
vgic has been initialized (such as when creating new VCPUs), so
introduce such a macro that checks the nr_cpus field which is set when
the vgic has been initialized.
Also set nr_cpus = 0 in kvm_vgic_destroy, because the error path in
vgic_init() will call this function, and code should never errornously
assume the vgic to be properly initialized after an error.

The vgic_initialized() macro currently returns the state of the
vgic->ready flag, which indicates if the vgic is ready to be used when
running a VM, not specifically if its internal state has been
initialized.
Rename the macro accordingly in preparation for a more nuanced
initialization flow.

VGIC initialization currently happens in three phases:
(1) kvm_vgic_create() (triggered by userspace GIC creation)
(2) vgic_init_maps() (triggered by userspace GIC register read/write
requests, or from kvm_vgic_init() if not already run)
(3) kvm_vgic_init() (triggered by first VM run)
We were doing initialization of some state to correspond with the
state of a freshly-reset GIC in kvm_vgic_init(); this is too late,
since it will overwrite changes made by userspace using the
register access APIs before the VM is run. Move this initialization
earlier, into the vgic_init_maps() phase.
This fixes a bug where QEMU could successfully restore a saved
VM state snapshot into a VM that had already been run, but could
not restore it "from cold" using the -loadvm command line option
(the symptoms being that the restored VM would run but interrupts
were ignored).
Finally rename vgic_init_maps to vgic_init and renamed kvm_vgic_init to
kvm_vgic_map_resources.

We currently track the pid of the task that runs the VCPU in vcpu_load.
If a yield to that VCPU is triggered while the PID of the wrong thread
is active, the wrong thread might receive a yield, but this will most
likely not help the executing thread at all. Instead, if we only track
the pid on the KVM_RUN ioctl, there are two possibilities:
1) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is holding a mutex that
the VCPU thread is waiting for. In this case, the VCPU thread is not
runnable, but we also do not do a wrong yield.
2) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is sleeping, or doing
something that does not block the VCPU thread. In this case, the
VCPU thread can receive the directed yield correctly.

kvm_enter_guest() has to be called with preemption disabled and will
set PF_VCPU. Current code takes PF_VCPU as a hint that the VCPU thread
is running and therefore needs no yield.
However, the check on PF_VCPU is wrong on s390, where preemption has
to stay enabled in order to correctly process page faults. Thus,
s390 reenables preemption and starts to execute the guest. The thread
might be scheduled out between kvm_enter_guest() and kvm_exit_guest(),
resulting in PF_VCPU being set but not being run. When this happens,
the opportunity for directed yield is missed.
However, this check is done already in kvm_vcpu_on_spin before calling
kvm_vcpu_yield_loop:
if (!ACCESS_ONCE(vcpu->preempted))
continue;
so the check on PF_VCPU is superfluous in general, and this patch
removes it.

Current linear search doesn't scale well when
large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot
is not in the beginning memslots array.
Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's
possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from
'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for
memslot lookup by GFN.
As result of switching to binary search lookup times
are reduced with large amount of memslots.
Following is a table of search_memslot() cycles
during WS2008R2 guest boot.

This reverts commit 85c8555ff0 ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn.
The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code
based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should
be mapped as device memory.
However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin,
and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which
suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn'
from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on
it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake
and the patch above should be reverted.

If we detect another vCPU is running we just exit and return 0 as if we
succesfully created the VGIC, but the VGIC wouldn't actual be created.
This shouldn't break in-kernel behavior because the kernel will not
observe the failed the attempt to create the VGIC, but userspace could
be rightfully confused.
