The current kernel is based on rt kernel v4.4.6-rt14. We will upgrade it
to 4.4.50-rt62.
The command to achieve it is:
a) Clone a git repo from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git
b) Get the diff between this two changesets:
git diff 640eca2901f3435e616157b11379d3223a44b391
705619beeea1b0b48219a683fd1a901a86fdaf5e
where the two commits are:
[yjiang5@jnakajim-build linux-stable-rt]$ git show --oneline --name-only
640eca2901f3435e616157b11379d3223a44b391

Because the vmcs12 preemption timer is emulated through a separate hrtimer,
we can keep on using the preemption timer in the vmcs02 to emulare L1's
TSC deadline timer.
However, the corresponding bit in the pin-based execution control field
must be kept consistent between vmcs01 and vmcs02. On vmentry we copy
it into the vmcs02; on vmexit the preemption timer must be disabled in
the vmcs01 if a preemption timer vmexit happened while in guest mode.
The preemption timer value in the vmcs02 is set by vmx_vcpu_run, so it
need not be considered in prepare_vmcs02.

The preemption timer for nested VMX is emulated by hrtimer which is started on L2
entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the check_nested_events hook. However,
nested_vmx_exit_handled is always returning true for preemption timer vmexit. Then,
the L1 preemption timer vmexit is captured and be treated as a L2 preemption
timer vmexit, causing NULL pointer dereferences or worse in the L1 guest's
vmexit handler:

This can be reproduced readily by preemption timer enabled on L0 and disabled
on L1.
Return false since preemption timer vmexits must never be reflected to L2.

This can be reproduced readily by running a full dynticks guest(since hrtimer
in guest is heavily used) w/ lapic_timer_advance disabled.
If fail to program hardware preemption timer, we will fallback to hrtimer based
method, however, a previous programmed preemption timer miss to cancel in this
scenario which results in one hardware preemption timer and one hrtimer emulated
tsc deadline timer run simultaneously. So sometimes the target guest deadline
tsc is earlier than guest tsc, which leads to the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer
can underflow and cause delta_tsc to be set a huge value, then host soft lockup
as above.
This patch fix it by cancelling the previous programmed preemption timer if there
is once we failed to program the new preemption timer and fallback to hrtimer
based method.

If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or
even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer can underflow and
cause delta_tsc to be set to a huge value. This generally results
in vmx_set_hv_timer returning -ERANGE, but we can fix it by limiting
delta_tsc to be positive or zero.

Hook the VMX preemption timer to the "hv timer" functionality added
by the previous patch. This includes: checking if the feature is
supported, if the feature is broken on the CPU, the hooks to
setup/clean the VMX preemption timer, arming the timer on vmentry
and handling the vmexit.
A module parameter states if the VMX preemption timer should be
utilized.

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]

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. No logic changes.

Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85).
