[PATCH v3 0/4] Add a unified parameter "nopvspin"

[PATCH v3 0/4] Add a unified parameter "nopvspin"

[Zhenzhong Duan]

There are cases folks want to disable spinlock optimization for
debug/test purpose. Xen and hyperv already have parameters "xen_nopvspin"
and "hv_nopvspin" to support that, but kvm doesn't.

The first patch adds that feature to KVM guest with "nopvspin".

For compatibility reason original parameters "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin" are retained and marked obsolete.

v3:
PATCH2: Fix indentation

v2:
PATCH1: pick the print code change into separate PATCH2,
        updated patch description             [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH2: new patch with print code change      [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH3: add Reviewed-by                       [Juergen Gross]

[PATCH v3 1/4] x86/kvm: Add "nopvspin" parameter to disable PV spinlocks

[Zhenzhong Duan]

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and
"hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V).

That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable
PV spinlocks for KVM guest.

This new parameter is also used to replace "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin".

The global variable pvspin isn't defined as __initdata as it's used at
runtime by XEN guest.

This is confusing as there are no Xen or Hyper-V changes in this patch.
Please make it clear that you're talking about future patches, e.g.:

  The new 'nopvspin' parameter will also replace Xen and Hyper-V specific
  parameters in future patches.

Same comment as above regarding what this patch is doing versus what will
be done in the future.  Arguably you should even mark it __initdata in
this patch and deal with conflict in the Xen patch, e.g. use it only to
set the existing xen_pvspin variable.

These prints could be confusing as KVM also disables PV spinlocks when it
sees KVM_HINTS_REALTIME.

This can be __ro_after_init, or probably better __initdata and have Xen
snapshot the value for its use case.

Personal preference: I'd invert the bool and name it nopvspin to make it
easier to connect the variable to the kernel param.

What about below:

pr_info("PV spinlocks disabled forced by \"nopvspin\" parameter.\n");

Or you prefer separate print for each disabling like below?

         /* Does host kernel support KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT? */
         if (!kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT)) {
                 pr_info("PV spinlocks disabled, KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT feature needed.\n");
                 return;
         }

         if (kvm_para_has_hint(KVM_HINTS_REALTIME)) {
                 pr_info("PV spinlocks disabled, having non-preemption hints.\n");
                 return;
         }

         /* Don't use the pvqspinlock code if there is only 1 vCPU. */
         if (num_possible_cpus() == 1) {
                 pr_info("PV spinlocks disabled on UP.\n");
                 return;
         }
	if (!pvspin) {

[PATCH v3 2/4] x86/kvm: Change print code to use pr_*() format

[Zhenzhong Duan]

pr_*() is preferred than printk(KERN_* ...), after change all the print
in arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c will have "KVM: xxx" style.

No functional change.

This wasn't really suggested by Vitaly, he just requested it be done in a

Not a fan of "KVM" as the prefix as it's easily confused with KVM the
hypervisor.  Maybe "kvm_guest"?

As suggested in the other patch, if you incorporate pvspin (or nopvspin)
into xen_pvspin then the param can be __initdata and the diff for this
patch will be smaller, e.g. you wouldn't need the xen_domain() shenanigans
in xen_parse_nopvspin().
