This series applies to powerpc topic/ppc-kvm branch (KVM Cify
series in particular), plus "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Reflect L2 PMU
in-use to L0 when L2 SPRs are live" posted to kvm-ppc.
This reduces radix guest full entry/exit latency on POWER9 and POWER10
by almost 2x (hash is similar but it's still significantly slower than
the P7/8 real mode handler). Nested HV guests should see speedups with
some smaller improvements in the L1, plus the L0 switching sees many
of the same speedups as a direct guest.
It does this in several main ways:
- Rearrange code to optimise SPR accesses. Mainly, avoid scoreboard
stalls.
- Test SPR values to avoid mtSPRs where possible. mtSPRs are expensive.
- Reduce mftb. mftb is expensive.
- Demand fault certain facilities to avoid saving and/or restoring them
(at the cost of fault when they are used, but this is mitigated over
a number of entries, like the facilities when context switching
processes). PM, TM, and EBB so far.
- Defer some sequences that are made just in case a guest is interrupted
in the middle of a critical section to the case where the guest is
scheduled on a different CPU, rather than every time (at the cost of
an extra IPI in this case). Namely the tlbsync sequence for radix with
GTSE, which is very expensive.
Some of the numbers quoted in changelogs may have changed a bit with
patches being updated, reordered, etc. They give a bit of a guide, but
I might remove them from the final submission because they're too much
to maintain.
Thanks,
Nick
