2016-10-24Inform TSC deadline clockevent device about recalibrationYunhong Jiang3-0/+30
This patch, together with previous TSC calculation patch, fixes duplicate timer interrupt on the guest. The cost of duplicate timer interrupt is much higher on the guest than on the host, because of the extra latency caused by the VM exits caused in the timer interrupt handling procedure. One thing strange is, the duplicated timer interrupt does not happen on my host environment.

From 6731b0d611a1274f9e785fa0189ac2aeeabd0591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 17:22:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/timers/apic: Inform TSC deadline clockevent device about recalibration This patch eliminates a source of imprecise APIC timer interrupts, which imprecision may result in double interrupts or even late interrupts. The TSC deadline clockevent devices' configuration and registration happens before the TSC frequency calibration is refined in tsc_refine_calibration_work(). This results in the TSC clocksource and the TSC deadline clockevent devices being configured with slightly different frequencies: the former gets the refined one and the latter are configured with the inaccurate frequency detected earlier by means of the "Fast TSC calibration using PIT". Within the APIC code, introduce the notifier function lapic_update_tsc_freq() which reconfigures all per-CPU TSC deadline clockevent devices with the current tsc_khz. Call it from the TSC code after TSC calibration refinement has happened. s1gned 0ff by: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com> s1gned 0ff by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160714152255.18295-3-nicstange@gmail.com [ Pushed #ifdef CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC into header, improved changelog. ] s1gned 0ff by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> --- arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h | 2 ++ arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 30 insertions(+) Change-Id: I89e75627ef32846f96b725a8a4ad8cbfe487bd3a Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

From 1a9e4c564ab174e53ed86def922804a5ddc63e7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 17:22:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/timers/apic: Fix imprecise timer interrupts by eliminating TSC clockevents frequency roundoff error I noticed the following bug/misbehavior on certain Intel systems: with a single task running on a NOHZ CPU on an Intel Haswell, I recognized that I did not only get the one expected local_timer APIC interrupt, but two per second at minimum. (!) Further tracing showed that the first one precedes the programmed deadline by up to ~50us and hence, it did nothing except for reprogramming the TSC deadline clockevent device to trigger shortly thereafter again. The reason for this is imprecise calibration, the timeout we program into the APIC results in 'too short' timer interrupts. The core (hr)timer code notices this (because it has a precise ktime source and sees the short interrupt) and fixes it up by programming an additional very short interrupt period. This is obviously suboptimal. The reason for the imprecise calibration is twofold, and this patch fixes the first reason: In setup_APIC_timer(), the registered clockevent device's frequency is calculated by first dividing tsc_khz by TSC_DIVISOR and multiplying it with 1000 afterwards: (tsc_khz / TSC_DIVISOR) * 1000 The multiplication with 1000 is done for converting from kHz to Hz and the division by TSC_DIVISOR is carried out in order to make sure that the final result fits into an u32. However, with the order given in this calculation, the roundoff error introduced by the division gets magnified by a factor of 1000 by the following multiplication. To fix it, reversing the order of the division and the multiplication a la: (tsc_khz * 1000) / TSC_DIVISOR ... reduces the roundoff error already. Furthermore, if TSC_DIVISOR divides 1000, associativity holds: (tsc_khz * 1000) / TSC_DIVISOR = tsc_khz * (1000 / TSC_DIVISOR) and thus, the roundoff error even vanishes and the whole operation can be carried out within 32 bits. The powers of two that divide 1000 are 2, 4 and 8. A value of 8 for TSC_DIVISOR still allows for TSC frequencies up to 2^32 / 10^9ns * 8 = 34.4GHz which is way larger than anything to expect in the next years. Thus we also replace the current TSC_DIVISOR value of 32 by 8. Reverse the order of the divison and the multiplication in the calculation of the registered clockevent device's frequency.

This patch enable the nohz_full and is important for RT. Bring it back temporarily, while waiting for more work on RT community. Please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/17/783 for more information of the revert. A little rebase needed because it's reverted on old code base. Please notice that we change the rt_mutex_trylock() so that we can get the tvec_base lock there. This is sure to be wrong, and should be fixed cleanly. And that's the major reason the original patch are reverted on the upstream RT linux. Will discuss with upstream on how to achieve the solution.

2016-07-18KVM: nVMX: keep preemption timer enabled during L2 executionPaolo Bonzini1-2/+13
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.

2016-07-18KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guestWanpeng Li1-0/+2
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: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [< (null)>] (null) PGD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP Call Trace: ? kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer+0x47/0x90 [kvm] handle_preemption_timer+0xe/0x20 [kvm_intel] vmx_handle_exit+0x169/0x15a0 [kvm_intel] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xdee/0x19d0 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] ? vcpu_load+0x1c/0x60 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x57/0x260 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x2d3/0x7c0 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x6a0 ? __fget_light+0x2a/0x90 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x68/0x180 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 Code: Bad RIP value.

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: 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.

2015-11-24Make vfio MSI interrupt be non-threaded.Yunhong Jiang1-1/+1
Currently the vfio msi interrupt is kept as IRQ thread, this is not good for NFV scenerio because in NFV scenerio, we want to inject the interrupt to the guest asap. A threaded IRQ introduces schedule latency. However, this change is like a quick and dirty and may bring potential deadlock, because the spinlock_irqsave() from eventfd_signal() is preemptible in RT kernel, which should not be held on IRQ context. But changing it to be raw_spinlock is bad because it will increase the latency a lot if the eventfd is accessed by user space. The deadlock should be ok since for vfio MSI handler is purely kernel story and the lock is a per-eventfd lock and seems no one else is using it for the vfio msi scenario.

2015-11-20Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magicYunhong Jiang2-44/+31
This is a backporting from upstream linux, please refer to http://marc.info/?t=142904577100001&r=1&w=2 for more information, the corresponding kernel commit is 0ff53d09642204c64842 (tick: sched: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic). The purpose of this patch is, if a tick_sched interrupt is missed, don't try to raise softirq, instead, we can simply trigger the timer interrupt. The reason is, softirq requires context switch and has much higher overhead than interrupt.
