[PATCH 0/4] make virt_spin_lock() a pvops function

[PATCH 0/4] make virt_spin_lock() a pvops function

[Juergen Gross]

With virt_spin_lock() being a pvops function the bare metal case can be
optimized by patching the call away completely. In case a kernel running
as a guest it can decide whether to use paravitualized spinlocks, the
current fallback to the unfair test-and-set scheme, or to mimic the
bare metal behavior.

Juergen Gross (4):
  paravirt: add generic _paravirt_false() function
  paravirt: switch vcpu_is_preempted to use _paravirt_false() on bare
    metal
  paravirt: add virt_spin_lock pvops function
  paravirt,xen: correct xen_nopvspin case

[PATCH 1/4] paravirt: add generic _paravirt_false() function

[Juergen Gross]

Add a _paravirt_false() default function returning always false which
can be used for cases where a boolean pvops replacement should just
say "no".

[PATCH 2/4] paravirt: switch vcpu_is_preempted to use _paravirt_false() on bare metal

[Juergen Gross]

Instead of special casing pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted when patching
use _paravirt_false() on bare metal.

[PATCH 2/4] paravirt: switch vcpu_is_preempted to use _paravirt_false() on bare metal

[PATCH 3/4] paravirt: add virt_spin_lock pvops function

[Juergen Gross]

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" boot parameter). Today this
has the downside of falling back to unfair test and set scheme for
qspinlocks due to virt_spin_lock() detecting the virtualized
environment.

Make virt_spin_lock() a paravirt operation in order to enable users
to select an explicit behavior like bare metal.

I think you can take the above if statement out as you has done test in
native_pv_lock_init(). So the test will also be false here.

As this patch series is x86 specific, you should probably add "x86/" in
front of paravirt in the patch titles.

That does mean we'll run a test-and-set spinlock until paravirt patching
happens though. I prefer to not do that.

One important point.. we must not be holding any locks when we switch
over between the two locks. Back then I spend some time making sure that
didn't happen with the X86 feature flag muck.

AFAICT, native_pv_lock_init() is called before SMP init. So it shouldn't
matter.

AFAICT, native_pv_lock_init() is called before SMP init. So it shouldn't
matter.

That does mean we'll run a test-and-set spinlock until paravirt patching
happens though. I prefer to not do that.

One important point.. we must not be holding any locks when we switch
over between the two locks. Back then I spend some time making sure that
didn't happen with the X86 feature flag muck.

I think you can take the above if statement out as you has done test in
native_pv_lock_init(). So the test will also be false here.

As this patch series is x86 specific, you should probably add "x86/" in
front of paravirt in the patch titles.

Have you consider just add one more jump label here to skip
virt_spin_lock when KVM or Xen want to do so?

I have some concern about the overhead of register saving/restoring have
on spin lock performance in case the kernel is under a non-KVM/Xen
hypervisor.

Have you consider just add one more jump label here to skip
virt_spin_lock when KVM or Xen want to do so?

I have some concern about the overhead of register saving/restoring have
on spin lock performance in case the kernel is under a non-KVM/Xen

Aah, okay.

Bare metal could make use of this jump label, too.

I'll have a try how it looks like.

I don't understand. What performance are you worried about. Native will
now do: "xor rax,rax; jnz some_cold_label" that's fairly trival code.

It is not native that I am talking about. I am worry about VM with
non-Xen/KVM hypervisor where virt_spin_lock() will actually be called.
Now that function will become a callee-saved function call instead of
being inlined into the native slowpath function.

But only if we actually end up using the test-and-set thing, because if
you have paravirt we end up using that.

And the test-and-set thing sucks anyway. But yes, you're right, that
case gets worse.

I am talking about scenario like a kernel with paravirt spinlock running
in a VM managed by VMware, for example. We may not want to penalize them
while there are alternatives with less penalty.

For clarification, I was actually asking if you consider just adding one
more jump label to skip it for Xen/KVM instead of making
virt_spin_lock() a pv-op.

[PATCH 3/4] paravirt: add virt_spin_lock pvops function

[Juergen Gross]

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" boot parameter). Today this
has the downside of falling back to unfair test and set scheme for
qspinlocks due to virt_spin_lock() detecting the virtualized
environment.

Make virt_spin_lock() a paravirt operation in order to enable users
to select an explicit behavior like bare metal.

[PATCH 4/4] paravirt,xen: correct xen_nopvspin case

[Juergen Gross]

With the boot parameter "xen_nopvspin" specified a Xen guest should not
make use of paravirt spinlocks, but behave as if running on bare
metal. This is not true, however, as the qspinlock code will fall back
to a test-and-set scheme when it is detecting a hypervisor.

In order to avoid this set the virt_spin_lock pvops function to
_paravirt_false() in case xen_nopvspin has been specified.
