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.

2016-07-18KVM: vmx: fix underflow in TSC deadline calculationPaolo Bonzini1-3/+3
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.

2016-07-18kvm: vmx: hook preemption timer supportYunhong Jiang3-2/+183
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. Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com> [Move hv_deadline_tsc to struct vcpu_vmx, use -1 as the "unset" value.

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>
