2016-07-18kvm: vmx: rename vmx_pre/post_block to pi_pre/post_blockYunhong Jiang1-2/+15
Prepare to switch from preemption timer to hrtimer in the vmx_pre/post_block. Current functions are only for posted interrupt, rename them accordingly. upstream-status: backport Change-Id: Ie1dde9be21deeb661de095e07d6c29bcba2e7d73 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>
2016-07-18KVM: x86: support using the vmx preemption timer for tsc deadline timerYunhong Jiang5-1/+100
The VMX preemption timer can be used to virtualize the TSC deadline timer. The VMX preemption timer is armed when the vCPU is running, and a VMExit will happen if the virtual TSC deadline timer expires. When the vCPU thread is blocked because of HLT, KVM will switch to use an hrtimer, and then go back to the VMX preemption timer when the vCPU thread is unblocked. This solution avoids the complex OS's hrtimer system, and the host timer interrupt handling cost, replacing them with a little math (for guest->host TSC and host TSC->preemption timer conversion) and a cheaper VMexit. This benefits latency for isolated pCPUs. [A word about performance... Yunhong reported a 30% reduction in average latency from cyclictest. I made a similar test with tscdeadline_latency from kvm-unit-tests, and measured - ~20 clock cycles loss (out of ~3200, so less than 1% but still statistically significant) in the worst case where the test halts just after programming the TSC deadline timer - ~800 clock cycles gain (25% reduction in latency) in the best case where the test busy waits. I removed the VMX bits from Yunhong's patch, to concentrate them in the next patch - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Change-Id: I4aa1ecfa3463d1cbfb317511b45d2074b33d9b6f upstream-status: backport Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

The function to start the tsc deadline timer virtualization will be used also by the pre_block hook when we use the preemption timer; change it to a separate function.

2016-06-20Rebase fuel-plugin for kvmfornfv to fuel 9.0davidjchou11-226/+122
1. Uplifit fuel-plugin for kvmfornfv to fuel 9.0 due to that fuel 9.0 will be the deployment tool of OPNFV Colorado release. 2. Fixed quirk for kernel. 3. Added all tools and libs for building OVS module. 4. Allow KVM developer to build fuel-plugin-kvm after they modify the kerenl code without commiting their change into the repo first. So, they can test their code change by fuel-plugin-kvm till they satisfy with their change, then commit to the repo. 5. The final code built into OPNFV fuel iso will depend on the commit ID for kvmfornfv speicifed in fuel for OPNFV source tree.

2016-06-06Move quirks out of build scriptDonald Dugger2-45/+44
Due to expediencyh concerns some quirk code was placed in the build script in order to get the Brahmaputra release out on time. These quirks don't belong in the script itself and, now that there is a mechanisms to applly arbitrary patch files during the build script, this patch moves that quirk code out to the separate patch file area.

2016-05-13Add patch to Linux 4.4 to support OVSDonald Dugger2-1/+260
Given that OVS doesn't support Linux 4.4 yet we need to add a patch to the OVS sources so that we can build a 4.4 version of the OVS loadable kernel module that works with the RT Linux 4.4 kernel used in OPNFV. The directory `patches/ovs' contains patches (currently only one) that are applied against the OVS tree. The Fuel build script is modified to apply all of the patches in this directory to the OVS tree. Then a working OVS KLM is created that is then inserted into the RT kernel DEB package so that the end result is an RT kernel that supports OVS.

2016-01-05Add guest environment setup scriptsYunhong Jiang2-0/+89
To achieve good real time and live migration performance, special setup is needed on guest environment. Two scripts are used to setup the guest environment. The guest-setup0.sh setup the environment that should take effect before the tested kernel is bringup, including install the kernel rpm, the rt-test package and modify the grub entries. The guest-setup1.sh setup the environment that takes effect after the tested kernel is up, like some sysfs entry, interrupt affinity etc. Change-Id: Icaed71e250b314723d6b1814c9ac33c10d99c6a0 Signed-off-by: David Su <david.w.su@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

2015-12-08kvmclock: add a new function to update env->tsc.WW-2015-52Liang Li3-16/+48
(Back port from upstream, commit id: 0fd7e098db30e302d27920487f0afec) The commit 317b0a6d8 fixed an issue which caused by the outdated env->tsc value, but the fix lead to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()' called twice during live migration. The 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()' takes about 130us for a VM which has 4 vcpus, it's a bit expensive. Synchronize the whole CPU context just for updating env->tsc is too wasting, this patch use a new function to update the env->tsc. Comparing to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()', it only takes about 20us.
