But with-in the guest, the vcpus might have been pre-empted or blocked. In this scenario, the initator vcpu would end up busy-waiting for a long amount of time; it also consumes CPU unnecessarily to wake up the target of the shootdown. This patch set adds support for KVM's new paravirtualized TLB flush; remote TLB flush does not wait for vcpus that are sleeping, instead KVM will flush the TLB as soon as the vCPU starts running again. The improvement is clearly visible when the host is overcommitted; in this case, the PV TLB flush (in addition to avoiding the wait on the main CPU) prevents preempted vCPUs from stealing precious execution time from the running ones. Testing on a Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 2 sockets, 32 cores, 64 threads, so 64 pCPUs, and each VM is 64 vCPUs. ebizzy -M vanilla optimized boost 1VM 46799 48670 4% 2VM 23962 42691 78% 3VM 16152 37539 132% Cc: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Radim Krčmář Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář --- diff --git a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/cpuid.txt b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/cpuid.txt index 3c65feb830101..dcab6dc11e3b0 100644 --- a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/cpuid.txt +++ b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/cpuid.txt @@ -54,6 +54,10 @@ KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT || 7 || guest checks this feature bit || || before enabling paravirtualized || || spinlock support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +KVM_FEATURE_PV_TLB_FLUSH || 9 || guest checks this feature bit + || || before enabling paravirtualized + || || tlb flush. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE_STABLE_BIT || 24 || host will warn if no guest-side || || per-cpu warps are expected in || || kvmclock. diff --git a/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h index 15685bd22faa4..7a2ade4aa2353 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ #define KVM_FEATURE_STEAL_TIME 5 #define KVM_FEATURE_PV_EOI 6 #define KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT 7 +#define KVM_FEATURE_PV_TLB_FLUSH 9 /* The last 8 bits are used to indicate how to interpret the flags field * in pvclock structure.
