Hello
Few days ago I had an issue with getting PCIe hotplug working on AArch64
machine. Enabled PCI hotplug in kernel and then got hit by some issues.
Out setup is a bunch of aarch64 servers and we use OpenStack to provide
access to arm64 systems. OpenStack uses libvirt to control VMs and
allows to add network interfaces and disk volumes to running systems.
By libvirt AArch64 is treated as PCIe machine without legacy PCI slots.
So to hotplug anything you first need to have enough pcie-root-port
entries as it is described in Qemu docs/pcie.txt and by patch to libvirt
documentation [1][2].
1. https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=782
2. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg01033.html
But things get complicated once you are going to 32 PCIe devices limit
(which in our setup will rather not happen). UEFI first takes ages to
boot just to land in UEFI shell as it forgot all PCIe devices. With 31
devices it boots (also after long time).
I attached two xml files with VM definitions (for use with virsh). Also
attached their qemu command lines. One has 31 PCI devices, second has
32. Both use [30] as rootfs.
30.

OK, let me quote my earlier off-list followup (so that the discussion
proceed publicly -- hopefully other thread participants will also repeat
their off-list messages, and/or clarify my conveying them):

(Here Marcel referenced the following message, also reporting about slow
PCI enumeration:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-07/msg07182.html>.
In this case the issue hit the guest kernel; OVMF was not used (and
SeaBIOS was unaffected).)

(Paolo says the data structure is a radix tree, so the bottleneck being
there would be surprising. Also Paolo has given me tips for profiling,
so I'm looking into it.)
(Another remark from Paolo, paraphrased: programming the BARs relies on
an O(n^3) algorithm, fixing which is on the todo list.)

(Drew added a few more points about mach-virt here; I'll let him repeat
himself.)

I have some results here. They are probably not as well compiled as they
would be by someone who profiles stuff every morning for breakfast, but
it's a start I hope.
(1) My command script was the following. I used virtio-scsi-pci
controllers because they don't need backends and also have no pflash
impact in the firmware.
The PCI hierarchy is basically a DMI-PCI bridge plugged into the PCI
Express root complex, with up to five PCI-PCI bridges on that, and then
31 virtio-scsi-pci devices on each PCI-PCI bridge. By moving the "exit
0" around, I could control the number of virtio PCI devices. Pretty
crude, but it worked.
Also, I used PCI (and not PCI Express) bridges and devices because I
didn't want to run out of IO space for this test. (That's a different
question, related to other points in this (and other) threads.)

(2) At first I did some super crude measurements, basically from VM
start to UEFI shell prompt:
- 31 devices (single PCI-PCI bridge): 14 seconds
- 46 devices (two PCI-PCI bridges): 31 seconds
- 62 devices (two PCI-PCI bridges): 64 seconds
- 93 devices (three PCI-PCI bridges): 203 seconds
The device count and runtime multipliers are, relative to the first
line:
- 31/31 = 1; 14/14 = 1
- 46/31 ~= 1.48; 31/14 ~= 2.21 (note: 1.48 * 1.48 ~= 2.19)
- 62/31 = 2; 64/14 ~= 4.57 (note: 2 * 2 = 4)
- 93/31 = 3; 203/14 ~= 14.5 (note: 3 * 3 = 9)
So the boot time seems to be a super-quadratic function of the virtio
PCI device count.
(3) Paolo told me to grab a "perf top" screenshot of when the firmware
was in one of those parts that seemed to slow down when adding more
devices.
I took several such screenshots (from different slowed-down parts, with
different device counts), and they were all close variants of the
following:

(Note, this was an unoptimized, debug build of QEMU, if that matters.)
In the middle case, I even probed into the firmware (using QEMU's GDB
server), which gave me:

In advance: the interesting frames are those with
"EfiPciIoAttributeOperationEnable".
(4) Two very visible slowdowns occur when (a)
"OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/PciDecoding.c" temporarily enables, in a loop,
IO and MMIO decoding for all PCI devices that were enumerated earlier --
so that the AML generation in QEMU could take their BARs in account --,
and (b) when the (legacy) virtio driver is bound to the virtio PCI
devices.
Loop (a) consists basically purely of PCI command register massaging.
Part (b) needed a bit ^W whole lot more investigation, so I learned how
to enable edk2's built-in profiling for OVMF, added a few "perf points"
to the VirtioPciDeviceBindingStart() function in
"OvmfPkg/VirtioPciDeviceDxe/VirtioPciDevice.c", and printed the
following measurements at the UEFI shell prompt with the DP (display
perf) utility:

The DB:Support and DB:Start intervals are generic (they cover all other
drivers as well); they reflect the call counts and durations of when any
driver is asked to determine whether it supports a given device, and
when -- after a positive answer -- the same is asked to actually bind
the device.
The other six lines are specific actions in
VirtioPciDeviceBindingStart().
We see the following, when going from 31 to 93 virtio PCI devices:
- the call counts (less than) triple on all rows, good
- the average, shortest and longest durations remain mostly unchanged
for the DB:Support, OpenProto, GetPciAttr, VPciInit, InstVProto rows,
- on the "EnaPciIo" row (which stands for enabling IO decoding in the
legacy or transitional virtio device's command register), the average
duration gets multiplied by ~7.8 (668420/86179), while the max
duration is multiplied by ~9.8 (1008274/102605),
- the DB:Start row is similar: it includes "EnaPciIo", but it is
smoothed by UEFI drivers that don't bind to PciIo protocol instances,
- the cumulative duration for EnaPciIo goes from ~2.7 seconds to ~62.2
seconds (a factor of ~23.3, corresponding to three times as many
devices bound, times the avg. EnaPciIo duration getting multiplied by
~7.8).

(This is matched by the "-trace enable='pci_update_mappings*'" option

With this patch, I only tested the "93 devices" case, as the slowdown
became visible to the naked eye from the trace messages, as the firmware
enabled more and more BARs / command registers (and inversely, the
speedup was perceivable when the firmware disabled more and more BARs /
command registers).
I will attach the trace output (compressed), from the launch of the VM
to reaching the UEFI shell. It would be interesting to plot the time
differences between the add/del and matching add_done/del_done trace
points (the difference grows continuously as more and more BARs are
enabled); for now I'll quote two extremes from the BAR-enablement loop:

Enabling IO decoding (hence BAR 0) for the first virtio-scsi-pci device,
02:01.0, took 3.762 msecs.
Enabling IO decoding (hence BAR 0), at the end of the same firmware
loop, for the last virtio-scsi-pci device, 04:1f.0, took 408.275 msecs,
which is approx. 108 times as long. (Almost half a second -- it's
human-perceivable.)
I didn't try to follow QEMU more deeply. Hopefully this is useful for
something.

Yes, this is the O(n^3) thing. An optimized build should be faster
because int128 operations will be inlined and become much more efficient.

This is an interesting observation, and it's expected. Looking at the
O(n^3) complexity more in detail you have N operations, where the "i"th
operates on "i" DMA address spaces, all of which have at least "i"
memory regions (at least 1 BAR per device).
So the total cost is sum i=1..N i^2 = N(N+1)(2N+1)/6 = O(n^3).
Expressing it as a sum shows why it gets slower as time progresses.
The solution is to note that those "i" address spaces are actually all
the same, so we can get it down to sum i=1..N i = N(N+1)/2 = O(n^2).
Thanks,
Paolo

- Can you please give me a pointer to the code where the "i"th operation
works on "i" DMA address spaces? (Not that I dream about patching *that*
code, wherever it may live :) )

It's all driven by actions of the guest.
Simply, by the time you get to the "i"th command register, you have
enabled bus-master DMA on "i" devices (so that "i" DMA address spaces
are non-empty) and you have enabled BARs on "i" devices (so that their
BARs are included in the address spaces).

I've added it to https://wiki.qemu.org/index.php/ToDo/MemoryAPI (thanks

Thank you!
Allow me one last question -- why (and since when) does each device have
its own separate address space? Is that related to the virtual IOMMU?
Now that I look at the "info mtree" monitor output of a random VM, I see
the following "address-space"s:
- memory
- I/O
- cpu-memory
- bunch of nameless ones, with top level regions called
"bus master container"
- several named "virtio-pci-cfg-as"
- KVM-SMRAM
I (sort of) understand MemoryRegions and aliases, but:
- I don't know why "memory" and "cpu-memory" exist separately, for example,
- I seem to remember that the "bunch of nameless ones" has not always
been there? (I could be totally wrong, of course.)
... There is one address_space_init() call in "hw/pci/pci.c", and it
comes (most recently) from commit 3716d5902d74 ("pci: introduce a bus
master container", 2017-03-13). The earliest commit that added it seems
to be 817dcc536898 ("pci: give each device its own address space",
2012-10-03). The commit messages do mention IOMMUs.
Thanks!

"memory" is the "system address space", ie the default overall
view of memory where most devices appear and which gets
used by DMA'ing devices that don't have a proper model of
what their view of the world should be.
"cpu-memory" is specifically the view of the world that
the CPU has. Per-CPU memory mapped devices and devices
that are visible to the CPU but not to random DMA'ing
things can appear here (and not in the 'memory' address space).
Generally "cpu-memory" will be created effectively as
"memory" plus some other stuff.
Some CPU architectures have more than one address space
per CPU -- notably ARM TrustZone-supporting CPUs
have "cpu-memory" for the NonSecure view and "cpu-secure-memory"
for the Secure view.
The overall aim here is to better model the real world,
where different memory transaction masters can sit on
different buses or in different places in the bus fabric,
and thus have access to different things. Anything that
is a bus master should ideally have its own AddressSpace,
because for QEMU an AddressSpace is the endpoint that
you use to initiate memory transactions. MemoryRegions
on the other hand are what you use for building up the
hierarchy of devices sitting on buses and so on, so
when you're setting up the simulation you pass a device
which is a bus master a MemoryRegion defining "this is
the world you can see", and the device creates an
AddressSpace from it in order to be able to interact
with it.
(We have address_space_init_shareable() to reduce the
proliferation of theoretically distinct but in
practice identical AddressSpaces.)
Similarly, I'm not familiar with the PCI code, but
conceptually each PCI device is a bus master and wants
an AddressSpace to do transactions into.

No (though it helps there too). It's because a device that has
bus-master DMA disabled in the command register cannot see RAM.
So each device has an address space that is just a huge alias for RAM.
The alias is enabled when bus-master DMA is disabled, and disabled when
bus-master DMA is enabled.

cpu-memory is also mostly a huge alias to memory. But some
architectures may see some areas slightly differently when accessed from
devices vs. CPUs.
For example, the 0xFEE00000 area on x86 accesses the APIC when written
from CPUs and triggers MSIs when written from devices. Not the best
example because we don't use memory vs. cpu-memory to model it, but it's
an example.
Another example was SMM on TCG; when entering SMM, SMRAM used to be
shown/hidden in cpu-memory (and not in memory). Nowadays TCG uses a
completely separate address space, like KVM-SMRAM in your example above,
but you can see that cpu-memory can come in handy. :)

It's always been there IIRC, it comes from 817dcc536898.

We'll probably run into more issues with the vIOMMU but I guess we
can look into it later.
Resolving addresses lazily somehow might be interesting. And would
the caching work that went in a while ago but got disabled
since we couldn't iron out all the small issues
help go in that direction somehow?
