The guest is trapped to host when the page fault is caused by stage 2 page table, for example missing. The guest is suspended until the requested page is populated. There might be IO activities involved for host to populate the requested page. For instance, the requested page has been swapped out previously. In this case, the guest (vCPU) has to suspend for a few of milliseconds, which depends on the swapping media, regardless of the overall system load. The series adds asychornous page fault to improve the situation. A signal (PAGE_NOT_PRESENT) is sent from host to the guest if the requested page isn't absent immediately. In the mean while, a worker is started to populate the requested page in background. Guest either picks another available process to run or puts current (faulting) process to power saving mode when receiving the (PAGE_NOT_PRESENT) signal. After the requested page is populated by the worker, another signal (PAGE_READY) is sent from host to guest. Guest wakes up the (faulting) process when receiving the (PAGE_READY) signal. The signals are conveyed through control block. The control block physical address is passed from guest to host through dedicated KVM vendor specific hypercall. The control block is visible and accessible by host and guest in the mean while. The hypercall is also used to enable, disable, configure the functionality. Notifications, by injected abort data exception, are fired when there are pending signals. The exception handler will be invoked in guest kernel. Testing ======= The tests are carried on the following machine. A guest with single vCPU and 4GB memory is started. Also, the QEMU process is put into memory cgroup (v1) whose memory limit is set to 2GB. In the guest, there are two threads, which are memory bound and CPU bound separately. The memory bound thread allocates all available memory, accesses and them free them. The CPU bound thread simply executes block of "nop". The test is carried out for 5 time continuously and the average number (per minute) of executed blocks in the CPU bound thread is taken as indicator of improvement.

Without-APF: 40.3s = avg(40.6 39.3 39.2 41.6 41.2) With-APF: 40.8s = avg(40.6 41.1 40.9 41.0 40.7) Outcome: +1.2% I also have some code in the host to capture the number of async page faults, time used to do swapin and its maximal/minimal values when async page fault is enabled. During the test, the CPU-bound thread is disabled. There is about 30% of the time used to do swapin. Number of async page fault: 7555 times Total time used by application: 42.2 seconds Total time used by swapin: 12.7 seconds (30%) Minimal swapin time: 36.2 us Maximal swapin time: 55.7 ms Changelog ========= RFCv1 -> RFCv2 * Rebase to 5.7.rc3 * Performance data (Marc Zyngier) * Replace IMPDEF system register with KVM vendor specific hypercall (Mark Rutland) * Based on Will's KVM vendor hypercall probe mechanism (Will Deacon) * Don't use IMPDEF DFSC (0x43).
