x86/entry: Avoid interrupt flag save and restore

2016-07-10T11:33:02Z

Thanks to all the work that was done by Andy Lutomirski and others, enter_from_user_mode() and prepare_exit_to_usermode() are now called only with interrupts disabled. Let's provide them a version of user_enter()/user_exit() that skips saving and restoring the interrupt flag. On an AMD-based machine I tested this patch on, with force-enabled context tracking, the speed-up in system calls was 90 clock cycles or 6%, measured with the following simple benchmark: #include #include #include #include unsigned long rdtsc() { unsigned long result; asm volatile("rdtsc; shl $32, %%rdx; mov %%eax, %%eax\n" "or %%rdx, %%rax" : "=a" (result) : : "rdx"); return result; } int main() { unsigned long tsc1, tsc2; int pid = getpid(); int i; tsc1 = rdtsc(); for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) kill(pid, SIGWINCH); tsc2 = rdtsc(); printf("%ld\n", tsc2 - tsc1); } Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

sched/cputime: Rename vtime_accounting_enabled() to vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled()

2015-12-04T09:34:45Z

vtime_accounting_enabled() checks if vtime is running on the current CPU and is as such a misnomer. Lets rename it to a function that reflect its locality. We are going to need the current name for a function that tells if vtime runs at all on some CPU.

context_tracking: avoid irq_save/irq_restore on guest entry and exit

2015-11-10T11:06:23Z

guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled, since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}. Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are called by guest_enter and guest_exit. Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM. Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit loop by about 2%.

context_tracking: remove duplicate enabled check

2015-11-10T11:06:22Z

All calls to context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit are already checking context_tracking_is_enabled, except the context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit functions left in for the benefit of assembly calls. Pull the check up to those functions, by making them simple wrappers around the user_enter and user_exit inline functions.

context_tracking: Inherit TIF_NOHZ through forks instead of context switches

2015-05-07T10:02:51Z

TIF_NOHZ is used by context_tracking to force syscall slow-path on every task in order to track userspace roundtrips. As such, it must be set on all running tasks. It's currently explicitly inherited through context switches. There is no need to do it in this fast-path though. The flag could simply be set once for all on all tasks, whether they are running or not. Lets do this by setting the flag for the init task on early boot, and let it propagate through fork inheritance. While at it, mark context_tracking_cpu_set() as init code, we only need it at early boot time.

kvm,rcu,nohz: use RCU extended quiescent state when running KVM guest

2015-03-09T14:43:03Z

The host kernel is not doing anything while the CPU is executing a KVM guest VCPU, so it can be marked as being in an extended quiescent state, identical to that used when running user space code. The only exception to that rule is when the host handles an interrupt, which is already handled by the irq code, which calls rcu_irq_enter and rcu_irq_exit. The guest_enter and guest_exit functions already switch vtime accounting independent of context tracking. Leave those calls where they are, instead of moving them into the context tracking code.

context_tracking: Generalize context tracking APIs to support user and guest

2015-03-09T14:42:52Z

Generalize the context tracking APIs to support various nature of contexts. This is performed by splitting out the mechanism from context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit into context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit. The nature of the context we track is now detailed in a ctx_state parameter pushed to these APIs, allowing the same functions to not just track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions. But leave the old functions in order to avoid breaking ARM, which calls these functions from assembler code, and cannot easily use C enum parameters. Reviewed-by: Paul E.
