[PATCH 0/2] selftests: KVM: Add a test for eager page splitting

[Ben Gardon]

David Matlack recently added a feature known as eager page splitting
to x86 KVM. This feature improves vCPU performance during dirty
logging because the splitting operation is moved out of the page
fault path, avoiding EPT/NPT violations or allowing the vCPU threads
to resolve the violation in the fast path.

While this feature is a great performance improvement, it does not
have adequate testing in KVM selftests. Add a test to provide coverage
of eager page splitting.

Patch 1 is a quick refactor to be able to re-use some code from
dirty_log_perf_test.
Patch 2 adds the actual test.

Please ignore the RFC version of this series. It was not meant as an RFC
and did not include a cover letter.

[PATCH 1/2] selftests: KVM: Move dirty logging functions to memstress.(c|h)

[Ben Gardon]

Move some helper functions from dirty_log_perf_test.c to the memstress
library so that they can be used in a future commit which tests page
splitting during dirty logging.

[PATCH 2/2] selftests: KVM: Add page splitting test

[Ben Gardon]

Add a test for page splitting during dirty logging and for hugepage
recovery after dirty logging.

Page splitting represents non-trivial behavior, which is complicated
by MANUAL_PROTECT mode, which causes pages to be split on the first
clear, instead of when dirty logging is enabled.

Add a test which makes asserions about page counts to help define the
expected behavior of page splitting and to provid needed coverage of the
behavior. This also helps ensure that a failure in eager page splitting
is not covered up by splitting in the vCPU path.

Tested by running the test on an Intel Haswell machine w/wo
MANUAL_PROTECT.

These should be macros or at least const?

What does "Host variables" mean? (And why is guest_percpu_mem_size not a
"Host variable"?)

I imagine this is copy-pasta from a test that has some global variables
that are used by guest code? If that's correct, it's probably best to
just drop this comment.

vcpu_run() handles this assert for you.

optional: ASSERT_EQ(get_ucall(vcpu, NULL), UCALL_SYNC);

(You'll lose the exit reason logging.)

Incrementing iteration, waiting for vCPUs, and grabbing stats is
repeated below. Throw it in a helper function?

Consider using ASSERT_EQ() to simplify these checks. It will
automatically print out the values for you, but you'll lose the
contextual error message ("Unexpected huge page count after
splitting..."). But maybe we could add support for a custom extra error
string?

__ASSERT_EQ(stats_clear_pass[0].hugepages, 0,
            "Expected 0 hugepages after splitting");

Or use a comment to document the context for the assertion. Whoever is
debugging a failure is going to come look at the selftest code no matter
what.

I think I prefer ASSERT_EQ() + comment, especially since the comment
pretty much already exists above.

Also assert that huge pages are *not* split when dirty logging is first
enabled.

Since this is a correctness test I think the test should, by default,
test both KVM_DIRTY_LOG_MANUAL_PROTECT_ENABLE and 0, to ensure we get
test coverage of both.

And with that in place, there's probably no need for the -g flag.

nit: Move this down so it can fallthrough to the default case.

It's odd that backing_src is in test_params but guest_percpu_mem_size
and dirty_log_manual_caps are global variables.

Personally I prefer using global variables for constants that do not
change across run_test(). i.e. Let's make backing_src a global.

backing_src only controls the memstress data slots. The rest of guest
memory could be a source of noise for this test.

Use for_each_guest_mode() to run against all supported guest modes.

That's fair. I prefer the way it is because the resulting error
message is a lot easier to read and I don't need to look at the test
code to decrypt it. If I'm developing a feature and just running all
tests, it's nice to not have to track down the test source code.

Ah great idea. I felt like I was a little light on the assertions.
That'll be a good addition.

That's true, but we compensate for that noise by taking a measurement
after the population pass. At that point the guest has executed all
it's code (or at least from all it's code pages) and touched every
page in the data slot. Since the other slots aren't backed with huge
pages, NX hugepages shouldn't be an issue. As a result, I would be
surprised if noise from the other memory became a problem.

I'm not sure that would actually improve coverage. None of the page
splitting behavior depends on the mode AFAICT.

You need to use for_each_guest_mode() for the ARM case. The issue is
that whatever mode (guest page size and VA size) you pick might not be
supported by the host. So, you first to explore what's available (via
for_each_guest_mode()).

Actually, that's fixed by using the default mode, which picks the
first available
mode. I would prefer to use for_each_guest_mode() though, who knows and
something fails with some specific guest page size for some reason.

Okay, will do. I wasn't sure if we did eager page splitting on ARM, so
I was only planning on making this test for x86_64 initially, hence it
being in that directory. If ARM rolls with the same behavior, then
I'll add the for_each_mode bit and move the test up a directory.

Ricardo is in the process of upstreaming eager page splitting for ARM:

https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20230113035000.480021-1-ricarkol@google.com/

In addition to for_each_guest_mode(), KVM/ARM will need to expose page
size stats so the test can verify the splitting (yet another reason to
have a common MMU).

Ricardo, if you're interested in adding page size stats to KVM/ARM ahead
of the Common MMU, e.g. to test eager page splitting, let me know. I
want to make sure we align on the userspace-visible stat names to avoid
churn down the road. Specifically, do we want to expose neutral names
like pages_{pte,pmd,pud} or expand the KVM/x86 list to include all of
ARM's possible pages sizes like pages_{4k,16k,64k,...} (or both)?

Thanks Ben, just saw that V2 has the for_each_guest_mode() change.

No wories, I can take care of that as part of my ARM changes, maybe even
as part of the eager splitting series.

Sure, I can do that. Sounds pretty useful too.

I would prefer the latter, mainly to match the x86 names:

	+	stats->pages_4k = vm_get_stat(vm, "pages_4k");
	+	stats->pages_2m = vm_get_stat(vm, "pages_2m");
	+	stats->pages_1g = vm_get_stat(vm, "pages_1g");
	(from this patch)

but pages_{pte,pmd,pud} would certainly make this test simpler
as it would handle all guest page sizes:

	+	stats->pages_pte = vm_get_stat(vm, "pages_pte");

We can always add pages_{pte,pmd,pud} to x86 as aliases of the
existing stats. The series I recently sent out to allow custom names
for stats [1] would make adding the aliases trivial actually.

Yeah pages_{pte,pmd,pud} would certainly make the test simpler.

At this point I'm leaning toward pages_{pte,pmd,pud} to unblock this
testing in an architecture neutral way, and we can add
pages_{4k,16k,...} to ARM in the future using aliases.
