[PATCH RFC 14/14] kvm/arm: Align the VMID allocation with the arm64 ASID one

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



At the moment, the VMID algorithm will send an SGI to all the CPUs to
force an exit and then broadcast a full TLB flush and I-Cache
invalidation.

This patch re-use the new ASID allocator. The
benefits are:
    - CPUs are not forced to exit at roll-over. Instead the VMID will be
    marked reserved and the context will be flushed at next exit. This
    will reduce the IPIs traffic.
    - Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than broadcasted.

With the new algo, the code is now adapted:
    - The function __kvm_flush_vm_context() has been renamed to
    __kvm_flush_cpu_vmid_context and now only flushing the current CPU context.
    - The call to update_vttbr() will be done with preemption disabled
    as the new algo requires to store information per-CPU.
    - The TLBs associated to EL1 will be flushed when booting a CPU to
    deal with stale information. This was previously done on the
    allocation of the first VMID of a new generation.

The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
before exiting.

The performance difference between the current algo and the new one are:
    - 2.5% less exit from the guest
    - 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than
    broadcasted
    - 0.11% faster (just for the record)

----
    Looking at the __kvm_flush_vm_context, it might be possible to
    reduce more the overhead by removing the I-Cache flush for other
    cache than VIPT. This has been left aside for now.
