[PATCHv1 dont apply] RFC: kvm eoi PV using shared memory

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

 



I got lots of useful feedback from v0 so I thought
sending out a brain dump again would be a good idea.
This is mainly to show how I'm trying to address the
comments I got from the previous round. Flames/feedback
are wellcome!

Changes from v0:
- Tweaked setup MSRs a bit
- Keep ISR bit set. Before reading ISR, test EOI in guest memory and clear
- Check priority for nested interrupts, we can
  enable optimization if new one is high priority
- Disable optimization for any interrupt handled by ioapic
  (This is because ioapic handles notifiers and pic and it generally gets messy.
   It's possible that we can optimize some ioapic-handled
   edge interrupts - but is it worth it?)
- A less intrusive change for guest apic (0 overhead without kvm)

---

I took a stub at implementing PV EOI using shared memory.
This should reduce the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.

A partially complete draft for both host and guest parts
is below.

The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.

There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested ISR is automatically cleared before injection
 
qemu support is incomplete - mostly for feature negotiation.
need to add some trace points to enable profiling.
No testing was done beyond compiling the kernel.
