[patch 00/18] pvclock vsyscall support + KVM hypervisor support (v4)

[patch 00/18] pvclock vsyscall support + KVM hypervisor support (v4)

[Marcelo Tosatti]

This patchset, based on earlier work by Jeremy Fitzhardinge, implements
paravirtual clock vsyscall support.

It should be possible to implement Xen support relatively easily.

It reduces clock_gettime from 500 cycles to 200 cycles
on my testbox.

Please review.

v4:
- remove aligned_pvti structure, align directly (Glauber)
- add comments to migration notifier (Glauber)
- mark migration notifier condition as unlikely (Glauber)
- add comment about rdtsc barrier dependency on sse2 (Gleb)
- add idea to improve vdso gettime call (Gleb)
- remove new msr interface, reuse kernel copy of pvclock
data (Glauber)
- move copying of timekeeping data from generic timekeeping 
code to kvm code (John)

v3:
- fix PVCLOCK_VSYSCALL_NR_PAGES definition (glommer)
- fold flags race fix into pvclock refactoring (avi)
- remove CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK_VSYSCALL (glommer)
- add reference to tsc.c from vclock_gettime.c about cycle_last rationale
(glommer)
- fix whitespace damage (glommer)


v2:
- Do not allow visibility of different <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp>
tuples.
- Add option to disable vsyscall.

[patch 01/18] KVM: x86: retain pvclock guest stopped bit in guest memory

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-kvm-retain-guest-stopped.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1754 bytes --]

Otherwise its possible for an unrelated KVM_REQ_UPDATE_CLOCK (such as due to CPU
migration) to clear the bit.

Noticed by Paolo Bonzini.

[patch 02/18] x86: kvmclock: allocate pvclock shared memory area

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 00-kvmclock-alloc-area.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3974 bytes --]

We want to expose the pvclock shared memory areas, which 
the hypervisor periodically updates, to userspace.

For a linear mapping from userspace, it is necessary that
entire page sized regions are used for array of pvclock 
structures.

There is no such guarantee with per cpu areas, therefore move
to memblock_alloc based allocation.

[patch 13/18] time: export time information for KVM pvclock

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 13-time-add-pvclock-gtod-data --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2655 bytes --]

As suggested by John, export time data similarly to how its
done by vsyscall support. This allows KVM to retrieve necessary
information to implement vsyscall support in KVM guests.

[patch 15/18] KVM: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flag

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 14-host-pass-stable-pvclock-flag --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 13136 bytes --]

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. 
One of the reasons for that is that the time between

	1. ktime_get_ts(&timespec);
	2. rdtscll(tsc);

Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.

The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances 
executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).

If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when 
calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all 
vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.

Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
and guest TSCs. 

Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
clock from userspace.

[patch 17/18] KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clock

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 17-masterclock-require-matched-tsc --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6962 bytes --]

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates:

ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ]

Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC.

system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple 
per VM: the "master clock".

Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that
guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity.

Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 886 bytes --]

As requested by Glauber, do not update kvmclock area on vcpu->pcpu 
migration, in case the host has stable TSC. 

This is to reduce cacheline bouncing.

Thanks for the updates here.  The notifier method is interesting, and if 
it works well, we may want to extend it later to cover the vsyscall code 
too, but that can be done in a later iteration.

And the expected effects are? Will it work in that case? Any precautions
one must take? Is it safe for Xen? Is it safe for KVM?

Those are the types of things I'd expect to see in a comment for
something as subtle as this.

You are leaving preempt disabled for a lot longer than in should be. In
particular, you'll have a round trip to the hypervisor in the middle. It
doesn't matter *that* much because wallclock is mostly a one-time thing,
so I won't oppose in this basis.

But if you have the chance, either fix it, or tell us why you need
preemption on for longer than it was before.

If you don't have kvmclock enabled, which the next line in here would
test for, you will exit this function with allocated memory. How about
the following?

if (kvmclock && kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE2)) {

    msr_kvm_wall_clock = MSR_KVM_WALL_CLOCK_NEW;
} else if (!(kvmclock && kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE)))
    return;

mem = memblock_alloc(sizeof(struct pvclock_aligned_vcpu_time_info)
                     * NR_CPUS, PAGE_SIZE);
if (!mem)
    return;

[patch 02/18] x86: kvmclock: allocate pvclock shared memory area (v2)

[Marcelo Tosatti]

We want to expose the pvclock shared memory areas, which 
the hypervisor periodically updates, to userspace.

For a linear mapping from userspace, it is necessary that
entire page sized regions are used for array of pvclock 
structures.

There is no such guarantee with per cpu areas, therefore move
to memblock_alloc based allocation.

[patch 00/18] pvclock vsyscall support + KVM hypervisor support (v5)

[Marcelo Tosatti]

This patchset, based on earlier work by Jeremy Fitzhardinge, implements
paravirtual clock vsyscall support.

It should be possible to implement Xen support relatively easily.

It reduces clock_gettime from 500 cycles to 200 cycles
on my testbox.

v5:
- reduce preempt disable window in kvm_get_wallclock (Glauber)
- improve comment about SSE2 (Glauber)

v4:
- remove aligned_pvti structure, align directly (Glauber)
- add comments to migration notifier (Glauber)
- mark migration notifier condition as unlikely (Glauber)
- add comment about rdtsc barrier dependency on sse2 (Gleb)
- add idea to improve vdso gettime call (Gleb)
- remove new msr interface, reuse kernel copy of pvclock
data (Glauber)
- move copying of timekeeping data from generic timekeeping
code to kvm code (John)

v3:
- fix PVCLOCK_VSYSCALL_NR_PAGES definition (glommer)
- fold flags race fix into pvclock refactoring (avi)
- remove CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK_VSYSCALL (glommer)
- add reference to tsc.c from vclock_gettime.c about cycle_last rationale
(glommer)
- fix whitespace damage (glommer)


v2:
- Do not allow visibility of different <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp>
tuples.
- Add option to disable vsyscall.

[patch 01/18] KVM: x86: retain pvclock guest stopped bit in guest memory

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-kvm-retain-guest-stopped.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1754 bytes --]

Otherwise its possible for an unrelated KVM_REQ_UPDATE_CLOCK (such as due to CPU
migration) to clear the bit.

Noticed by Paolo Bonzini.

[patch 15/18] KVM: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flag

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 14-host-pass-stable-pvclock-flag --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 13136 bytes --]

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. 
One of the reasons for that is that the time between

	1. ktime_get_ts(&timespec);
	2. rdtscll(tsc);

Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.

The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances 
executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).

If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when 
calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all 
vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.

Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
and guest TSCs. 

Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
clock from userspace.

[patch 17/18] KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clock

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 17-masterclock-require-matched-tsc --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6962 bytes --]

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates:

ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ]

Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC.

system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple 
per VM: the "master clock".

Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that
guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity.

Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

[patch 18/18] KVM: x86: update pvclock area conditionally, on cpu migration

[Marcelo Tosatti]

[-- Attachment #1: 18-do-not-writeclock-on-cpu-migration --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 886 bytes --]

As requested by Glauber, do not update kvmclock area on vcpu->pcpu 
migration, in case the host has stable TSC. 

This is to reduce cacheline bouncing.

Ok. Since you are only touching the one in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() and
leaving the others untouched, it looks correct.

There are no more significant objections from my side.
I will still try to go through it again today just in case.
