Subject: [PATCH] x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Currently, every time a VCPU is scheduled out, the host kernel will
first save the guest FPU/xstate context, then load the qemu userspace
FPU context, only to then immediately save the qemu userspace FPU
context back to memory. When scheduling in a VCPU, the same extraneous
FPU loads and saves are done.
This could be avoided by moving from a model where the guest FPU is
loaded and stored with preemption disabled, to a model where the
qemu userspace FPU is swapped out for the guest FPU context for
the duration of the KVM_RUN ioctl.
This is done under the VCPU mutex, which is also taken when other
tasks inspect the VCPU FPU context, so the code should already be
safe for this change. That should come as no surprise, given that
s390 already has this optimization.
This can fix a bug where KVM calls get_user_pages while owning the
FPU, and the file system ends up requesting the FPU again:

No performance changes were detected in quick ping-pong tests on
my 4 socket system, which is expected since an FPU+xstate load is
on the order of 0.1us, while ping-ponging between CPUs is on the
order of 20us, and somewhat noisy.
