On x86_64, we can defer %ds and %es reload to the heavyweight context switch, since nothing in the lightweight paths uses the host %ds or %es (they are ignored by the processor). Furthermore we can avoid the load if the segments are null, by letting the hardware load the null segments for us. This is the expected case. On i386, we could avoid the reload entirely, since the entry.S paths take care of reload, except for the SYSEXIT path which leaves %ds and %es set to __USER_DS. So we set them to the same values as well. Saves about 70 cycles out of 1600 (around 4%; noisy measurements).

The vmx exit code unconditionally restores %ds and %es to __USER_DS. This can override the user's values, since %ds and %es are not saved and restored in x86_64 syscalls. In practice, this isn't dangerous since nobody uses segment registers in long mode, least of all programs that use KVM.

The instruction emulation for bsrw is broken in KVM because the code always uses bsr with 32 or 64 bit operand size for emulation. Fix that by using emulate_2op_SrcV_nobyte() macro to use guest operand size for emulation. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself. This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else? Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is always a bad idea. So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to. Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Instructions on PPC are pretty similarly encoded. So instead of every instruction emulation code decoding the instruction fields itself, we can move that code to more generic places and rely on the compiler to optimize the unused bits away. This has 2 advantages. It makes the code smaller and it makes the code less error prone, as the instruction fields are always available, so accidental misusage is reduced. Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

There is nothing in the code for emulating TCE tables in the kernel that prevents it from working on "PR" KVM... other than ifdef's and location of the code. This and moves the bulk of the code there to a new file called book3s_64_vio.c. This speeds things up a bit on my G5.

While handling an exit, we should listen for interrupts and make sure to receive them when they arrive, to keep our latencies low. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
-
Alexander Graf authored
When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed. Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs, rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed the interrupt. This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

While messing around with the SLBs we're running in real mode. The entry to guest space goes through rfid, which is context synchronizing, so there's no need to manually synchronize anything through isync.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer. It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not correct because the mechanism are not consistent. In our setup it adds 2% jitter. With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share kernel threads. This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread a name in the format "kvm-pit/<owner-process-pid>". That allows to identify and adjust the kthread priority according to the VM process parameters. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space, IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage carefully. By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.
