[PATCH 0/4] x86/p2m: use large pages for MMIO mappings

[Jan Beulich]

... where possible. This is in response to
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-09/msg01502.html,
albeit only the first three patches are really needed for that (the
fourth one just leverages what the first two do in another way).
The third (main) patch is RFC for a number of reasons - see there.

1: EPT: always return proper order value from ept_get_entry()
2: NPT: always return proper order value from p2m_pt_get_entry()
3: p2m: use large pages for MMIO mappings
4: PoD: shorten updates for certain operations on higher order ranges

This is so that callers can determine what range of address space would

[PATCH 3/4 RFC] x86/p2m: use large pages for MMIO mappings

[Jan Beulich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 14251 bytes --]

When mapping large BARs (e.g. the frame buffer of a graphics card) the
overhead or establishing such mappings using onle 4k pages has,
particularly after the XSA-125 fix, become unacceptable. Alter the
XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping semantics once again, so that there's no
longer a fixed amount of guest frames that represents the upper limit
of what a single invocation can map. Instead bound execution time by
limiting the number of iterations (regardless of page size).

RFC reasons:
- ARM side unimplemented (and hence libxc for now made cope with both
  models), the main issue (besides my inability to test any change
  there) being the many internal uses of map_mmio_regions())
- error unmapping in map_mmio_regions() and error propagation to caller
  from unmap_mmio_regions() are not satisfactory (for the latter a
  possible model might be to have the function - and hence the domctl -
  return the [non-zero] number of completed entries upon error,
  requiring the caller to re-invoke the hypercall to then obtain the
  actual error for the failed slot)
- iommu_{,un}map_page() interfaces don't support "order" (hence
  mmio_order() for now returns zero when !iommu_hap_pt_share, which in
  particular means the AMD side isn't being take care of just yet)

x86/p2m: use large pages for MMIO mappings

When mapping large BARs (e.g. the frame buffer of a graphics card) the
overhead or establishing such mappings using onle 4k pages has,
particularly after the XSA-125 fix, become unacceptable. Alter the
XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping semantics once again, so that there's no
longer a fixed amount of guest frames that represents the upper limit
of what a single invocation can map. Instead bound execution time by
limiting the number of iterations (regardless of page size).

RFC reasons:
- ARM side unimplemented (and hence libxc for now made cope with both
  models), the main issue (besides my inability to test any change
  there) being the many internal uses of map_mmio_regions())
- error unmapping in map_mmio_regions() and error propagation to caller
  from unmap_mmio_regions() are not satisfactory (for the latter a
  possible model might be to have the function - and hence the domctl -
  return the [non-zero] number of completed entries upon error,
  requiring the caller to re-invoke the hypercall to then obtain the
  actual error for the failed slot)
- iommu_{,un}map_page() interfaces don't support "order" (hence
  mmio_order() for now returns zero when !iommu_hap_pt_share, which in
  particular means the AMD side isn't being take care of just yet)

[PATCH 4/4] x86/PoD: shorten certain operations on higher order ranges

[Jan Beulich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7057 bytes --]

Now that p2m->get_entry() always returns a valid order, utilize this
to accelerate some of the operations in PoD code. (There are two uses
of p2m->get_entry() left which don't easily lend themselves to this
optimization.)

Also adjust a few types as needed and remove stale comments from
p2m_pod_cache_add() (to avoid duplicating them yet another time).

x86/PoD: shorten certain operations on higher order ranges

Now that p2m->get_entry() always returns a valid order, utilize this
to accelerate some of the operations in PoD code. (There are two uses
of p2m->get_entry() left which don't easily lend themselves to this
optimization.)

Also adjust a few types as needed and remove stale comments from
p2m_pod_cache_add() (to avoid duplicating them yet another time).

Doesn't this mean the caller must always make two hypercalls to confirm
success?

This appears to change the error semantics, therefore warrents an update
to the function comment.

opt_hap_1gb should be made to be redundant with hvm_hap_has_1gb() to
avoid all the double checks.  The only place where it is interesting for
them being different is in hvm_enable().

I will throw together a patch.

It is hard to reason as to whether this loop will terminate.  All it
would take is a bug in set_mmio_p2m_entry() which causes it to
unilaterally return 1 and this loop would never terminate.

Is there any other condition which can be used as a safety check?

No - no-zero would still only be returned upon error, just that to obtain the

This code will now steal an entire 2MiB page even if we only need a few
individual pages, then free it below (calling p2m_pod_set_cache_target()).

Upon reflection, this is actually a feature -- if we have singleton
pages in the cache, we can free those first, hopefully keeping the 2MiB
page together.

It would be good to have a comment here to that effect, though; perhaps:

"If we need less than 1<<order, may end up stealing more memory here
than we actually need.  This will be rectified below, however; and
stealing too much and then freeing what we need may allow us to free
smaller pages from the cache, and avoid breaking up superpages."

It occurs to me that the steal_for_cache calculations are also wrong
here --it should be (p2m->pod.entry_count - pod > p2m->pod.count) --
i.e., we should steal if liabilities would be greater than assets
*after* this function completed, not before.

Otherwise, everything else looks good, thanks.

I assume you'll resubmit this when the patch it depends on leaves RFC?
In which case I'll wait until I see that version to Ack it.

Sorry, meant to make it clear that this had nothing to do with you --

Good point - I didn't really notice this change in behavior. Comment
added.

The dependencies were patches 1 and 2 in this series, which
already went in. Patch 3 (the RFC one) was independent; in the
one here we just leverage what was needed as a prereq for that
other one.

map_mmio_regions is used in ARM to map all the device memory in a guest.
We expect this function to map everything at once when called during
DOM0 build and/or when a guest is created (used to map the interrupt
controller).

I would rather prefer to avoid introducing specific helpers with
slightly different behavior (i.e one is only mapping N page, the other
everything).

What about extending map_mmio_regions to take a parameter telling if we
want to limit the number of mapping in a single invocation?

Sure an option, albeit something that would be sufficient to be
done in ARM specific code, albeit the only user using variable
length is map_range_to_domain(). All the others, using fixed
lengths up to 32 pages, would implicitly get everything done at
once as long as the threshold is >= 32.

While this is the case today, we have different patch series coming up
using variable lenght in different place within the ARM code (vGIC,
ACPI...).

It won't be possible to use map_range_to_domain because it's very
specific to build DOM0.

So, I would extend map_mmio_region like that

map_mmio_regions(struct domain *d,
		 unsigned long start_gfn,
		 unsigned long nr,
		 unsigned long mfn,
		 unsigned long limit);

The limit parameter would be 0 if there is no limit otherwise the
maximum of iteration.

Okay.

Sure; I didn't even think of suggesting that.

Again, make map_mmio_regions() a wrapper around an ARM-specific
function with the extra argument. No need to alter common or x86
code.

TBH, extending the mapp_mmio_region is the best solution.

The name map_mmio_region is very generic and there is no reason we can't
use it in the hypervisor. Adding yet another wrapper will confuse people
and it will be hard for both the reviewer and the developer to know
which one to use.

I disagree - the function was originally meant to exclusively support
the respective domctl. The fact that ARM gained (many) more uses
should not impact common code or x86.

The expectation you described is neither documented nor explicit from
the name...

As the interface is not set in stone, we could decide to extend the
usage of the function to make a coherent interface and not adding new
wrapper because we don't want to touch x86...

Anyway, I'm not a maintainer so I will let Ian and Stefano decide what's
best.

One more thing - what meaning would you expect the new parameter
to carry? Number of frames mapped? Number of iterations done? In
the former case, the goal aimed at here won't be achievable. In the
latter case, would you mean to pass -1UL for it for the ARM callers
wanting the operation to run to completion?

None of the both. I was thinking to add a boolean which indicate if the
function is preemptible or not. A bit like p2m_pod_set_cache_target.

Although, if I had to choose between your two suggestions, I would lean
toward the later.
