[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] x86/hvm/viridian: flush remote tlbs by hypercall
The Microsoft Hypervisor Top Level Functional Spec. (section 3.4) defines
two bits in CPUID leaf 0x40000004:EAX for the hypervisor to recommend
whether or not to issue a hypercall for local or remote TLB flush.
Whilst it's doubtful whether using a hypercall for local TLB flush would
be any more efficient than a specific INVLPG VMEXIT, a remote TLB flush
may well be more efficiently done. This is because the alternative
mechanism is to IPI all the vCPUs in question which (in the absence of
APIC virtualisation) will require emulation and scheduling of the vCPUs
only to have them immediately VMEXIT for local TLB flush.
This patch therefore adds a viridian option which, if selected, enables
the hypercall for remote TLB flush and implements it using ASID
invalidation for targetted vCPUs followed by an IPI only to the set of
CPUs that happened to be running a targetted vCPU (which may be the empty
set). The flush may be more severe than requested since the hypercall can
request flush only for a specific address space (CR3) but Xen neither
keeps a mapping of ASID to guest CR3 nor allows invalidation of a specific
ASID, but on a host with contended CPUs performance is still likely to
be better than a more specific flush using IPIs.
The implementation of the patch introduces per-vCPU viridian_init() and
viridian_deinit() functions to allow a scratch cpumask to be allocated.
This avoids needing to put this potentially large data structure on stack
during hypercall processing. It also modifies the hypercall input and
output bit-fields to allow a check for the 'fast' calling convention,
and a white-space fix in the definition of HVMPV_feature_mask (to remove
hard tabs).

v3:
- Correct use of cpumask_var_t
- Extend comment to explain pcpu_mask flush
- Other cosmetic changes
v2:
- Re-name viridian_init/deinit() to viridian_vcpu_init/deinit()
- Use alloc/free_cpumask_var()
- Use hvm_copy_from_guest_phys() to get hypercall arguments
