[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel) The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel) The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel) The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix.

KVM: Add coalesced MMIO support (common part) This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs. Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled. Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that can be coalesced: - KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone. It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX. - KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone). The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability. The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported, or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer. The page offset depends on the architecture. After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure. The MMIO ring buffer is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

KVM: s390: interrupt subsystem, cpu timer, waitpsw This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic) including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait (similar to in kernel hlt). In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions. This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating. Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration. The following interrupts are supported: SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a (stopped) remote cpu INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed and for smp_call_function() in the guest. PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal instruction and friends RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system service processor struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390. kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value and sleep on a wait queue.

KVM: add ioeventfd support 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. -------------------- Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel) The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.

KVM: Add coalesced MMIO support (common part) This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs. Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled. Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that can be coalesced: - KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone. It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX. - KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone). The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability. The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported, or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer. The page offset depends on the architecture. After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure. The MMIO ring buffer is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

KVM: s390: interrupt subsystem, cpu timer, waitpsw This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic) including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait (similar to in kernel hlt). In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions. This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating. Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration. The following interrupts are supported: SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a (stopped) remote cpu INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed and for smp_call_function() in the guest. PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal instruction and friends RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system service processor struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390. kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value and sleep on a wait queue.
