[PATCH v3 0/3] x86/vdso: Add Hyper-V TSC page clocksource support

[PATCH v3 0/3] x86/vdso: Add Hyper-V TSC page clocksource support

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Hi,

merge window is about to close so I hope it's OK to make another try here.

Changes since v2:
- Add explicit READ_ONCE() to not rely on 'volatile' [Andy Lutomirski]
- rdtsc() -> rdtsc_ordered() [Andy Lutomirski]
- virt_rmb() -> smp_rmb() [Thomas Gleixner, Andy Lutomirski]

Thomas, Andy, it seems the only blocker for the series was the ambiguity with
TSC page read algorithm. I contacted Microsoft (through K. Y.) and asked what
we should do when we see 'seq=0'. The answer is:

"I have confirmed that the only invalid value is 0 (notwithstanding what the
spec says). I have asked the Spec to be updated and the current code we have
is correct - it treats 0 as the only invalid value. The invalid value indicates
that the TSC page cannot be used as a time source and a different source is to
be used and this state is going to persist and so looping is not an option."

I agree it would be wiser to have two invalid values - one for 'try again' and
another for permanent failure in case it is needed. But this is not the case.

So I keep my algorithm untouched.

I can see two more reasons for us to keep it:
1) It is what we already have in kernel.
2) It is what Windows does (see the disassembly in c35b82ef0294.

[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/hyperv: move TSC reading method to asm/mshyperv.h

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

As a preparation to making Hyper-V TSC page suitable for vDSO move
the TSC page reading logic to asm/mshyperv.h. While on it, do the
following
- Document the reading algorithm.
- Simplify the code a bit.
- Add explicit READ_ONCE() to not rely on 'volatile'.
- Add explicit barriers to prevent re-ordering (we need to read sequence
  strictly before and after)
- Use mul_u64_u64_shr() instead of assembly, gcc generates a single 'mul'
  instruction on x86_64 anyway.

[PATCH v3 3/3] x86/vdso: Add VCLOCK_HVCLOCK vDSO clock read method

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol
defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implement the
required support by adding hvclock_page VVAR.

[PATCH v3 3/3] x86/vdso: Add VCLOCK_HVCLOCK vDSO clock read method

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol
defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implement the
required support by adding hvclock_page VVAR.

It would be clearer to just return U64_MAX here (and not fall out)
since this is only case here. Also since this failure only occurs if host
clock is not available, probably should be unlikely.

Since you already have smp_ barriers and rdtsc_ordered is a barrier,
the compiler barriers (READ_ONCE()) shouldn't be necessary.

Why not make do { } while out of this.

	do {
...
	} while (unlikely(READ_ONCE(tsc_pg->tsc_sequence) != sequence);
	return current_tick;

Also don't need to calculate tick value until have good data. As in:

	u32 sequence =
	return sequence;

That's wrong. You need to read the TSC value together with the scale and
offset. That's needs to be "atomic". You can only do the mult/shift
outside.

x86/hyperv: Implement hv_get_tsc_page()

To use Hyper-V TSC page clocksource from vDSO we need to make tsc_pg
available. Implement hv_get_tsc_page() and add CONFIG_HYPERV_TSCPAGE to
make #ifdef-s simple.

x86/hyperv: Move TSC reading method to asm/mshyperv.h

As a preparation to making Hyper-V TSC page suitable for vDSO move
the TSC page reading logic to asm/mshyperv.h. While on it, do the
following:

- Document the reading algorithm.
- Simplify the code a bit.
- Add explicit READ_ONCE() to not rely on 'volatile'.
- Add explicit barriers to prevent re-ordering (we need to read sequence
  strictly before and after)
- Use mul_u64_u64_shr() instead of assembly, gcc generates a single 'mul'
  instruction on x86_64 anyway.

x86/vdso: Add VCLOCK_HVCLOCK vDSO clock read method

Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol
defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implement the
required support by adding hvclock_page VVAR.
