Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Detect stalls on guest vCPUS
Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2022 14:19:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220405141954.1489782-1-sebastianene@google.com> (raw)
This adds a mechanism to detect stalls on the guest vCPUS by creating a
per CPU hrtimer which periodically 'pets' the host backend driver.
This device driver acts as a soft lockup detector by relying on the host
backend driver to measure the elapesed time between subsequent 'pet' events.
If the elapsed time doesn't match an expected value, the backend driver
decides that the guest vCPU is locked and resets the guest. The host
backend driver takes into account the time that the guest is not
running. The communication with the backend driver is done through MMIO
and the register layout of the virtual watchdog is described as part of
the backend driver changes.
The host backend driver is implemented as part of:
