iodev.h contains definitions for the kvm_io_bus framework. This is
needed both by the generic KVM code in virt/kvm as well as by
architecture specific code under arch/. Putting the header file in
virt/kvm and using local includes in the architecture part seems at
least dodgy to me, so let's move the file into include/kvm, so that a
more natural "#include <kvm/iodev.h>" can be used by all of the code.
This also solves a problem later when using struct kvm_io_device
in arm_vgic.h.
Fixing up the FSF address in the GPL header and a wrong include path
on the way.

Introduce __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_INTC_INITIALIZED define and
associated kvm_arch_intc_initialized function. This latter
allows to test whether the virtual interrupt controller is initialized
and ready to accept virtual IRQ injection. On some architectures,
the virtual interrupt controller is dynamically instantiated, justifying
that kind of check.
The new function can now be used by irqfd to check whether the
virtual interrupt controller is ready on KVM_IRQFD request. If not,
KVM_IRQFD returns -EAGAIN.

Commit c77dcac (KVM: Move more code under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD) added

At the same time, kvm-arm commit 0ba0951 (KVM: EVENTFD: remove inclusion

that is not present on ARM but which happened to include ioapic.h on x86.

Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

This moves the functions kvm_irq_has_notifier(), kvm_notify_acked_irq(),

Now that struct _irqfd does not keep a reference to storage pointed
to by the irq_routing field of struct kvm, we can move the statement
that updates it out from under the irqfds.lock and put it in
kvm_set_irq_routing() instead. That means we then have to take a
srcu_read_lock on kvm->irq_srcu around the irqfd_update call in
kvm_irqfd_assign(), since holding the kvm->irqfds.lock no longer
ensures that that the routing can't change.
Combined with changing kvm_irq_map_gsi() and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin()
to take a struct kvm * argument instead of the pointer to the routing
table, this allows us to to move all references to kvm->irq_routing
into irqchip.c. That in turn allows us to move the definition of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct into irqchip.c as well.

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in

virt/kvm/irqchip.c. The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.
This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations. That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry

so this removes it.

This makes the irqfd code keep a copy of the irq routing table entry
for each irqfd, rather than a reference to the copy in the actual
irq routing table maintained in kvm/virt/irqchip.c. This will enable
us to change the routing table structure in future, or even not have a
routing table at all on some platforms.
The synchronization that was previously achieved using srcu_dereference
on the read side is now achieved using a seqcount_t structure. That
ensures that we don't get a halfway-updated copy of the structure if
we read it while another thread is updating it.
We still use srcu_read_lock/unlock around the read side so that when
changing the routing table we can be sure that after calling
synchronize_srcu, nothing will be using the old routing.

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on
Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even
able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec)
when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and
the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can
speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root
from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks.
Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu
are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu
uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides
do not do rcu lockdep at all).
Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just
want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods.
Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS
and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch
has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the
data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the
cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation).
(Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected,
changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8%
probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch.
The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points).

With KVM, MMIO is much slower than PIO, due to the need to
do page walk and emulation. But with EPT, it does not have to be: we
know the address from the VMCS so if the address is unique, we can look
up the eventfd directly, bypassing emulation.
Unfortunately, this only works if userspace does not need to match on
access length and data. The implementation adds a separate FAST_MMIO
bus internally. This serves two purposes:
- minimize overhead for old userspace that does not use eventfd with lengtth = 0
- minimize disruption in other code (since we don't know the length,
devices on the MMIO bus only get a valid address in write, this
way we don't need to touch all devices to teach them to handle
an invalid length)
At the moment, this optimization only has effect for EPT on x86.
It will be possible to speed up MMIO for NPT and MMU using the same
idea in the future.
With this patch applied, on VMX MMIO EVENTFD is essentially as fast as PIO.
I was unable to detect any measureable slowdown to non-eventfd MMIO.
Making MMIO faster is important for the upcoming virtio 1.0 which
includes an MMIO signalling capability.
The idea was suggested by Peter Anvin. Lots of thanks to Gleb for
pre-review and suggestions.

It is sometimes benefitial to ignore IO size, and only match on address.
In hindsight this would have been a better default than matching length
when KVM_IOEVENTFD_FLAG_DATAMATCH is not set, In particular, this kind
of access can be optimized on VMX: there no need to do page lookups.
This can currently be done with many ioeventfds but in a suboptimal way.
However we can't change kernel/userspace ABI without risk of breaking
some applications.
Use len = 0 to mean "ignore length for matching" in a more optimal way.

When registering a new irqfd, we call its ->poll method to collect any
event that might have previously been pending so that we can trigger it.
This is done under the kvm->irqfds.lock, which means the eventfd's ctx
lock is taken under it.
However, if we get a POLLHUP in irqfd_wakeup, we will be called with the
ctx lock held before getting the irqfds.lock to deactivate the irqfd,
causing lockdep to complain.
Calling the ->poll method does not really need the irqfds.lock, so let's
just move it after we've given up the irqfds.lock in kvm_irqfd_assign().

In userspace, we already have maximum file descriptor to

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to
KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies
the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for
instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt
through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the
interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification.
This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled
from vfio with no userspace intervention.
All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we
reserve a new one for this interface.

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.
Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.
Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.
Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

irqfd in kvm used flush_work incorrectly: it assumed that work scheduled
previously can't run after flush_work, but since kvm uses a non-reentrant
workqueue (by means of schedule_work) we need flush_work_sync to get that
guarantee.

The RCU use in kvm_irqfd_deassign is tricky: we have rcu_assign_pointer
but no synchronize_rcu: synchronize_rcu is done by kvm_irq_routing_update
which we share a spinlock with.

Store irq routing table pointer in the irqfd object,
and use that to inject MSI directly without bouncing out to
a kernel thread.
While we touch this structure, rearrange irqfd fields to make fastpath
better packed for better cache utilization.
This also adds some comments about locking rules and rcu usage in code.
Some notes on the design:
- Use pointer into the rt instead of copying an entry,
to make it possible to use rcu, thus side-stepping
locking complexities. We also save some memory this way.
- Old workqueue code is still used for level irqs.
I don't think we DTRT with level anyway, however,
it seems easier to keep the code around as
it has been thought through and debugged, and fix level later than
rip out and re-instate it later.

I think I see the following (theoretical) race:
During irqfd assign, we drop irqfds lock before we
schedule inject work. Therefore, deassign running
on another CPU could cause shutdown and flush to run
before inject, causing user after free in inject.
A simple fix it to schedule inject under the lock.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Looks like repeatedly binding same fd to multiple gsi's with irqfd can
use up a ton of kernel memory for irqfd structures.
A simple fix is to allow each fd to only trigger one gsi: triggering a
storm of interrupts in guest is likely useless anyway, and we can do it
by binding a single gsi to many interrupts if we really want to.

This code is not executed before file has been initialized to the result of
calling eventfd_fget. This function returns an ERR_PTR value in an error
case instead of NULL. Thus the test that file is not NULL is always true.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = eventfd_fget(...)
... when != x = E

ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest. Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.
Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.
However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible. All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling. This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.
Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd. This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell". This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled. It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().
We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl(). The other is direct via
ioeventfd.
You can download this test harness here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2
The measured results are as follows:
qemu-mmio: 110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio: 367300 iops, 2.72us rtt
I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy. However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:
qemu-pio: 153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt
these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.
Here is a graph for your convenience:
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/7/76/Iofd-chart.png
The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure. This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism: Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.
