Hi,
This v6 series can mainly include two parts.
Rebased on kvm queue branch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/log/?h=queue

In the first part, all the known hugetlb backing src types specified
with different hugepage sizes are listed, so that we can specify use
of hugetlb source of the exact granularity that we want, instead of
the system default ones. And as all the known hugetlb page sizes are
listed, it's appropriate for all architectures. Besides, a helper that
can get granularity of different backing src types(anonumous/thp/hugetlb)
is added, so that we can use the accurate backing src granularity for
kinds of alignment or guest memory accessing of vcpus.

In the second part, a new test is added:
This test is added to serve as a performance tester and a bug reproducer
for kvm page table code (GPA->HPA mappings), it gives guidance for the
people trying to make some improvement for kvm. And the following explains
what we can exactly do through this test.

The function guest_code() can cover the conditions where a single vcpu or
multiple vcpus access guest pages within the same memory region, in three
VM stages(before dirty logging, during dirty logging, after dirty logging).
Besides, the backing src memory type(ANONYMOUS/THP/HUGETLB) of the tested
memory region can be specified by users, which means normal page mappings
or block mappings can be chosen by users to be created in the test.

If ANONYMOUS memory is specified, kvm will create normal page mappings
for the tested memory region before dirty logging, and update attributes
of the page mappings from RO to RW during dirty logging. If THP/HUGETLB
memory is specified, kvm will create block mappings for the tested memory
region before dirty logging, and split the blcok mappings into normal page
mappings during dirty logging, and coalesce the page mappings back into
block mappings after dirty logging is stopped.

So in summary, as a performance tester, this test can present the
performance of kvm creating/updating normal page mappings, or the
performance of kvm creating/splitting/recovering block mappings,
through execution time.

When we need to coalesce the page mappings back to block mappings after
dirty logging is stopped, we have to firstly invalidate *all* the TLB
entries for the page mappings right before installation of the block entry,
because a TLB conflict abort error could occur if we can't invalidate the
TLB entries fully. We have hit this TLB conflict twice on aarch64 software
implementation and fixed it. As this test can imulate process from dirty
logging enabled to dirty logging stopped of a VM with block mappings,
so it can also reproduce this TLB conflict abort due to inadequate TLB
invalidation when coalescing tables.

Links about the TLB conflict abort:

This patch syncs contents of tools/include/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h
and include/uapi/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h. Arch powerpc supports 16KB
hugepages and ARM64 supports 32MB/512MB hugepages. The corresponding mmap
flags have already been added in include/uapi/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h,
but not tools/include/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h.

We know that if a system supports multiple hugetlb page sizes,
the desired hugetlb page size can be specified in bits [26:31]
of the mmap() flag arguments. The value in these 6 bits will be
the shift of each hugetlb page size.

So add a macro to get the page size shift and then calculate the
corresponding hugetlb page size, using flag x.

In addition to function of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, flag CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW can
also shield possiable impact of NTP, which can provide more robustness.

Print the errno besides error-string in TEST_ASSERT in the format of
"errno=%d - %s" will explicitly indicate that the string is an error
information. Besides, the errno is easier to be used for debugging
than the error-string.

For generality and conciseness, make an API which can be used in all
kvm libs and selftests to get vm guest mode strings. And the index i
is checked in the API in case of possiable faults.

If we want to have some tests about transparent hugepages, the system
configured THP hugepage size should better be known by the tests, which
can be used for kinds of alignment or guest memory accessing of vcpus...
So it makes sense to add a helper to get the transparent hugepage size.

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_THP specified in vm_userspace_mem_region_add(),
we now stat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage to check whether THP is
configured in the host kernel before madvise(). Based on this, we can also
read file /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to get THP
hugepage size.

If HUGETLB is configured in the host kernel, then we can know the system
default hugetlb page size through *cat /proc/meminfo*. Otherwise, we will
not see the information of hugetlb pages in file /proc/meminfo if it's not
configured. So add a helper to determine whether HUGETLB is configured and
then get the default page size by reading /proc/meminfo.

This helper can be useful when a program wants to use the default hugetlb
pages of the system and doesn't know the default page size.

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB, we currently can only use system
default hugetlb pages to back the testing guest memory. In order to
add flexibility, now list all the known hugetlb backing src types with
different page sizes, so that we can specify use of hugetlb pages of the
exact granularity that we want. And as all the known hugetlb page sizes
are listed, it's appropriate for all architectures.

Besides, the helper get_backing_src_pagesz() is added to get the
granularity of different backing src types(anonumous, thp, hugetlb).

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_THP specified in vm_userspace_mem_region_add(),
we have to get the transparent hugepage size for HVA alignment. With the
new helpers, we can use get_backing_src_pagesz() to check whether THP is
configured and then get the exact configured hugepage size.

As different architectures may have different THP page sizes configured,
this can get the accurate THP page sizes on any platform.

This test serves as a performance tester and a bug reproducer for
kvm page table code (GPA->HPA mappings), so it gives guidance for
people trying to make some improvement for kvm.

The function guest_code() can cover the conditions where a single vcpu or
multiple vcpus access guest pages within the same memory region, in three
VM stages(before dirty logging, during dirty logging, after dirty logging).
Besides, the backing src memory type(ANONYMOUS/THP/HUGETLB) of the tested
memory region can be specified by users, which means normal page mappings
or block mappings can be chosen by users to be created in the test.

If ANONYMOUS memory is specified, kvm will create normal page mappings
for the tested memory region before dirty logging, and update attributes
of the page mappings from RO to RW during dirty logging. If THP/HUGETLB
memory is specified, kvm will create block mappings for the tested memory
region before dirty logging, and split the blcok mappings into normal page
mappings during dirty logging, and coalesce the page mappings back into
block mappings after dirty logging is stopped.

So in summary, as a performance tester, this test can present the
performance of kvm creating/updating normal page mappings, or the
performance of kvm creating/splitting/recovering block mappings,
through execution time.

When we need to coalesce the page mappings back to block mappings after
dirty logging is stopped, we have to firstly invalidate *all* the TLB
entries for the page mappings right before installation of the block entry,
because a TLB conflict abort error could occur if we can't invalidate the
TLB entries fully. We have hit this TLB conflict twice on aarch64 software
implementation and fixed it. As this test can imulate process from dirty
logging enabled to dirty logging stopped of a VM with block mappings,
so it can also reproduce this TLB conflict abort due to inadequate TLB
invalidation when coalescing tables.

Queued, thanks.

I moved MAP_HUGE_PAGE_SIZE from the uapi header to test_util.c, because 
I'm not confident in adding a new userspace API without an ack.

I'm not sure about this one, is the effect visible?

In practice, difference between results got with CLOCK_MONOTONIC and 
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
actually is too little to be visible. But if just in theory, 
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW can ensure time results
of the compared tests are based on the same local oscillator frequency, 
which is not subject to possible
NTP frequency adjustment. Change in this patch seems like a bit of 
optimization.

But either of these two flags is good to me. If this patch is not 
convincing enough to be accepted, I will
post a patch later in fix use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in 
kvm_page_table_test.c just to be consistent
with other kvm tests, please queue. :)

Thanks,
Yanan

The real annoyance is when NTP is realigning the local clock.
This typically happens after boot - but can take quite a few
minutes (don't think it can quite get to an hour).
(I think something similar is caused by leap seconds.)

During this period CLOCK_MONOTONIC can run at a significantly
different rate from 'real time'.
This may not matter for timing self tests, but is significant
for RTP audio.

The problem there is that you want the NTP corrected time
during 'normal running' because the small correction (for
crystal error) is useful.

But the kernel HR timers are only defined for CLOCK_MONOTONIC
and the userspace requests for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW are likely
to be real system calls.

What you really want is a clock whose frequency is adjusted
by NTP but doesn't have the NTP offset adjuctments.
In reality this ought to be CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

Hi David,

I see now, much thanks for the above explanation. :)
Still have a lot to learn about this part.

Thanks,
Yanan
