[PATCH v2 RFC 1/1] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: pack VCORE IDs to access full VCPU ID space

[Sam Bobroff]

From: Sam Bobroff <sam.bobroff@au1.ibm.com>

It is not currently possible to create the full number of possible
VCPUs (KVM_MAX_VCPUS) on Power9 with KVM-HV when the guest uses less
threads per core than it's core stride (or "VSMT mode"). This is
because the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets to grow beyond KVM_MAX_VCPUS
even though the VCPU ID is less than KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID.

To address this, "pack" the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets by using
knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are less
guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of
each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than
one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow
the primary in each core.

So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the
VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty
and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped
into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core).

Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of
each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and
third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core).

Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary
threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of
the 1, 3, 5 and 7 thread slots.

(Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.)

This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the
VCPU ID or XIVE server numbers, without access to the VCPU structure.

Hello everyone,

I've tested this on P8 and P9, in lots of combinations of host and guest
threading modes and it has been fine but it does feel like a "tricky"
approach, so I still feel somewhat wary about it.

I've posted it as an RFC because I have not tested it with guest native-XIVE,
and I suspect that it will take some work to support it.
====== v1 -> v2: ======

Patch 1/1: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: pack VCORE IDs to access full VCPU ID space
* Corrected places in kvm/book3s_xive.c where IDs weren't packed.
* Because kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id() is only called on P9, there is no need to test "emul_smt_mode > 1", so remove it.
* Re-ordered block_offsets[] to be more ascending.
* Added more detailed description of the packing algorithm.

[PATCH v2 RFC 1/1] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: pack VCORE IDs to access full VCPU ID space

[Sam Bobroff]

From: Sam Bobroff <sam.bobroff@au1.ibm.com>

It is not currently possible to create the full number of possible
VCPUs (KVM_MAX_VCPUS) on Power9 with KVM-HV when the guest uses less
threads per core than it's core stride (or "VSMT mode"). This is
because the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets to grow beyond KVM_MAX_VCPUS
even though the VCPU ID is less than KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID.

To address this, "pack" the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets by using
knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are less
guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of
each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than
one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow
the primary in each core.

So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the
VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty
and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped
into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core).

Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of
each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and
third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core).

Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary
threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of
the 1, 3, 5 and 7 thread slots.

(Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.)

This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the

knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are less
guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of
each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than
one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow
the primary in each core.

So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the
VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty
and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped
into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core).

Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of
each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and
third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core).

Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary
threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of
the 1, 3, 5 and 7 thread slots.

(Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.)

This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the
VCPU ID or XIVE server numbers, without access to the VCPU structure.

Hello everyone,

I've tested this on P8 and P9, in lots of combinations of host and guest
threading modes and it has been fine but it does feel like a "tricky"
approach, so I still feel somewhat wary about it.

I've posted it as an RFC because I have not tested it with guest native-XIVE,
and I suspect that it will take some work to support it.
=== v1 -> v2: ===

Patch 1/1: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: pack VCORE IDs to access full VCPU ID space
* Corrected places in kvm/book3s_xive.c where IDs weren't packed.
* Because kvmppc_pack_vcpu_id() is only called on P9, there is no need to test "emul_smt_mode > 1", so remove it.
* Re-ordered block_offsets[] to be more ascending.
* Added more detailed description of the packing algorithm.

=== v1: ===

Quick check : 

I suppose that the numbers used in the QEMU/KVM ioctl calls are 
the same than the ones used by the guest OS in the RTAS calls,
set-xive and get-xive, and in the hcalls, H_IPI and H_IPOLL. 
cpu->vcpu_id under QEMU ? 


The xive part looks sane but I think it would look even better 
if we could get rid of the 'xive->vp_base + NUMBER' beforehand. 
These calculations are shortcuts between CPU number spaces.
To fix that, we could add a 'act_vp_id' field under 
kvmppc_xive_irq_state which would be assigned to the 'vp_id' 
of the selected target. And so, xive_select_target() needs some 
changes.

Quick check : 

I suppose that the numbers used in the QEMU/KVM ioctl calls are 
the same than the ones used by the guest OS in the RTAS calls,
set-xive and get-xive, and in the hcalls, H_IPI and H_IPOLL. 
cpu->vcpu_id under QEMU ? 


The xive part looks sane but I think it would look even better 
if we could get rid of the 'xive->vp_base + NUMBER' beforehand. 
These calculations are shortcuts between CPU number spaces.
To fix that, we could add a 'act_vp_id' field under 
kvmppc_xive_irq_state which would be assigned to the 'vp_id' 
of the selected target. And so, xive_select_target() needs some 
changes.

That's understandable.  My worry about it is substantially mitigated
by the fact that it's not visible to userspace or the guest, so we can
fix it without corresponding changes being needed there.

Yeah.. guest-native XIVE is still rather a ways off.

That's understandable.  My worry about it is substantially mitigated
by the fact that it's not visible to userspace or the guest, so we can
fix it without corresponding changes being needed there.

Yeah.. guest-native XIVE is still rather a ways off.

Excluding concerns about native XIVE,
