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.

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.

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.

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 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

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]

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.

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.
Upstream status: backport 0ff53d09642204c64842

OVS kernel module is important for NFV. The existed kernel config misses
several important kernel configuration, mostly for VxLAN, which is required
by the OVS kernel module.
Also add the OVS as a module, so that user can use it if needed, or replace
it when use the OPNFV patched OVS module.
