[RFC 3/6] target/i386: Add support for Hardware Feedback Interface feature

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

 



From: Zhuocheng Ding <zhuocheng.ding@xxxxxxxxx>

Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) is a basic dependency of ITD.

HFI is the feature to allow hardware to provide guidance to the
Operating System (OS) scheduler to perform optimal workload scheduling
through a hardware feedback interface structure in memory [1]. Currently
in virtualization scenario it is used to help enable ITD.

HFI feature provides the basic HFI information in CPUID.0x06:
* 0x06.eax[bit 19]: HFI feature bit
* 0x06.ecx[bits 08-15]: Number of HFI/ITD supported classes
* 0x06.edx[bits 00-07]: Bitmap of supported HFI capabilities
* 0x06.edx[bits 08-11]: Enumerates the size of the HFI table in number
                        of 4 KB pages
* 0x06.edx[bits 16-31]: HFI table index of processor

Here the basic information is generated by KVM based on the virtual HFI
table that can be emulated, and QEMU needs to specify the HFI table
index for each vCPU.

HFI feature also provides 2 package level MSRs:
MSR_IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_CONFIG and MSR_IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_PTR.

They're emulated in KVM, but currently KVM hasn't supported msr
topology.

Thus, like PTS MSRs, the emulation of these 2 package-level HFI MSRs are
only supported at the whole VM-level, and all vCPUs share these two
MSRs, so that the emulation of these two MSRs does not distinguish
between the different virtual-packages.

And HFI driver maintains per die HFI instances, so this can also cause
problems with access to HFI MSRs when multiple virtual-dies exist.

In order to avoid potential contention problems caused by multiple
virtual-packages/dies, add the following restrictions to the HFI feature
bit:

1. Mark HFI as no_autoenable_flags and it won't be enabled by default.
2. HFI can't be enabled for the case with multiple packages/dies.
3. HFI can't be enabled if ITD is not set for Guest, since currently HFI
   is only used to help enable ITD in virtualization scenario.

HFI feature depends on ACPI, TM and PTS, also add their dependencies.

Additionally, add save/load support for 2 HFI related MSRs.
