    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide more detailed timings for P9 entry path · b44bb1b7
    Fabiano Rosas authored
    Alter the data collection points for the debug timing code in the P9
    path to be more in line with what the code does. The points where we
    accumulate time are now the following:
    
    vcpu_entry: From vcpu_run_hv entry until the start of the inner loop;
    
    guest_entry: From the start of the inner loop until the guest entry in
                 asm;
    
    in_guest: From the guest entry in asm until the return to KVM C code;
    
    guest_exit: From the return into KVM C code until the corresponding
                hypercall/page fault handling or re-entry into the guest;
    
    hypercall: Time spent handling hcalls in the kernel (hcalls can go to
    	   QEMU, not accounted here);
    
    page_fault: Time spent handling page faults;
    
    vcpu_exit: vcpu_run_hv exit (almost no code here currently).
    
    Like before, these are exposed in debugfs in a file called
    "timings". There are four values:
    
    - number of occurrences of the accumulation point;
    - total time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;
    - shortest time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;
    - longest time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;

    Before:
    
      rm_entry: 53132 16793518 256 4060
      rm_intr: 53132 2125914 22 340
      rm_exit: 53132 24108344 374 2180
      guest: 53132 40980507996 404 9997650
      cede: 0 0 0 0
    
    After:
    
      vcpu_entry: 34637 7716108 178 4416
      guest_entry: 52414 49365608 324 747542
      in_guest: 52411 40828715840 258 9997480
      guest_exit: 52410 19681717182 826 102496674
      vcpu_exit: 34636 1744462 38 182
      hypercall: 45712 22878288 38 1307962
      page_fault: 992 111104034 568 168688
    
      With just one instruction (hcall):
    
      vcpu_entry: 1 942 942 942
      guest_entry: 1 4044 4044 4044
      in_guest: 1 1540 1540 1540
      guest_exit: 1 3542 3542 3542
      vcpu_exit: 1 80 80 80
      hypercall: 0 0 0 0
      page_fault: 0 0 0 0
