[PATCH 1/2] KVM: Deliver VM fault signals to userspace

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

 



This patch has been written to support page-ins using userfaultfd's
SIGBUS feature.  When a userfaultfd is created with UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS,
`handle_userfault` will return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead of putting the
calling thread to sleep. Normal (non-guest) threads that access memory
that has been registered with a UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS userfaultfd receive
a SIGBUS.

When a vCPU gets an EPT page fault in a userfaultfd-registered region,
KVM calls into `handle_userfault` to resolve the page fault. With
UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS, VM_FAULT_SIGBUS is returned, but a SIGBUS is never
delivered to the userspace thread. This patch propagates the
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS error up to KVM, where we then send the signal.

Upon receiving a VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, the KVM_RUN ioctl will exit to
userspace. This functionality already exists. This allows a hypervisor
to do page-ins with UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS:

1. Setup a SIGBUS handler to save the address of the SIGBUS (to a
   thread-local variable).
2. Enter the guest.
3. Immediately after KVM_RUN returns, check if the address has been set.
4. If an address has been set, we exited due to a page fault that we can
   now handle.
5. Userspace can do anything it wants to make the memory available,
   using MODE_NOWAKE for the UFFDIO memory installation ioctls.
6. Re-enter the guest. If the memory still isn't ready, this process
   will repeat.

This style of demand paging is significantly faster than the standard
poll/read/wake mechanism userfaultfd uses and completely bypasses the
userfaultfd waitq. For a single vCPU, page-in throughput increases by
about 3-4x.
