2009-06-12x86: unify power/cpu_(32|64).cSergio Luis
This is the last unification step. Here we do remove one of the files and rename the left one as cpu.c, as both are now the same. Also update power/Makefile, telling it to build cpu.o, instead of cpu_(32|64).o Signed-off-by: Sergio Luis <sergio@larces.uece.br> Signed-off-by: Lauro Salmito <laurosalmito@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-06-12x86: unify power/cpu_(32|64) copyright notesSergio Luis
In this step, we do unify the copyright notes for both files cpu_32.c and cpu_64.c, making such files exactly the same. It's the last step before the actual unification, that will rename one of them to cpu.c and remove the other one.

2009-06-12x86: unify power/cpu_(32|64) regarding restoring processor stateSergio Luis
In this step we do unify cpu_32.c and cpu_64.c functions that work on restoring the saved processor state. Also, we do eliminate the forward declaration of fix_processor_context() for X86_64, as it's not needed anymore.

2009-06-12slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early bootPekka Enberg
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and even then you'll be missing some. For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code using that to do the test. Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

2009-06-12lguest: suppress notifications in example LauncherRusty Russell
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know. So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check, then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn notifications off again. There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

2009-06-12lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receiveRusty Russell
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue is full). However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds. It's close to the noise though. I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest -> Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate). // time tcpblast -o -s 65536 -c 16k 192.168.2.1:9999 > /dev/null Timeout Guest->Host Pkts/irq Host->Guest Pkts/irq Before 11.3s 1.0 6.3s 1.0 0 11.7s 1.0 6.6s 23.5 1 17.1s 8.8 8.6s 26.0 1/pending 13.4s 1.9 6.6s 23.8 2/pending 13.6s 2.8 6.6s 24.1 5/pending 14.1s 5.0 6.6s 24.4 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs.Rusty Russell
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really need to interrupt the Guest. This happens as a side effect of spurious notifications. Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and meanwhile the Guest can more notifications. A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

2009-06-12lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example LauncherRusty Russell
Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one. The console input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device, network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send interrupts to the Guest at the right time. The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code. In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting: (1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking, (2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

2009-06-12lguest: remove obsolete LHREQ_BREAK callRusty Russell
We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main Guest process (aka. the Launcher). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threadsRusty Russell
Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block was simply too painful to bear). The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest. Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network device again. Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger interrupts in the Guest directly. The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before: * Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher * Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring * Launcher writes packet to TUN device writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108 * Launcher sets up interrupt for Guest (xmit ring is empty) write(10, "\2\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 505}}, NULL) = 0 * Launcher re-runs guest pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ... * Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select) select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) * Waker kicks Launcher out of guest: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher returns from running guest: ... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) * Launcher looks at input fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0}) * Launcher reads pong from tun device: readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108 * Launcher injects guest notification: write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0 * Launcher rechecks fds: select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) * Launcher clears Waker: pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0 * Launcher reruns Guest: pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ?

2009-06-12lguest: use eventfds for device notificationRusty Russell
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures out what device to run. A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

2009-06-12lguest: allow any process to send interruptsRusty Russell
We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine. As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the main Launcher process. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: PAE fixesRusty Russell
1) j wasn't initialized in setup_pagetables, so they weren't set up for me causing immediate guest crashes. 2) gpte_addr should not re-read the pmd from the Guest. Especially not BUG_ON() based on the value. If we ever supported SMP guests, they could trigger that. And the Launcher could also trigger it (tho currently root-only).

2009-06-12lguest: clean up length-used value in example launcherRusty Russell
The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length. Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length *read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
