* kvm-arm64/eager-page-splitting: : Eager Page Splitting, courtesy of Ricardo Koller. : : Dirty logging performance is dominated by the cost of splitting : hugepages to PTE granularity. On systems that mere mortals can get their : hands on, each fault incurs the cost of a full break-before-make : pattern, wherein the broadcast invalidation and ensuing serialization : significantly increases fault latency. : : The goal of eager page splitting is to move the cost of hugepage : splitting out of the stage-2 fault path and instead into the ioctls : responsible for managing the dirty log: : : - If manual protection is enabled for the VM, hugepage splitting : happens in the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. This is desirable as it : provides userspace granular control over hugepage splitting. : : - Otherwise, if userspace relies on the legacy dirty log behavior : (clear on collection), hugepage splitting is done at the moment dirty : logging is enabled for a particular memslot. : : Support for eager page splitting requires explicit opt-in from : userspace, which is realized through the : KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE capability. arm64: kvm: avoid overflow in integer division KVM: arm64: Use local TLBI on permission relaxation KVM: arm64: Split huge pages during KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG KVM: arm64: Open-code kvm_mmu_write_protect_pt_masked() KVM: arm64: Split huge pages when dirty logging is enabled KVM: arm64: Add kvm_uninit_stage2_mmu() KVM: arm64: Refactor kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() KVM: arm64: Add kvm_pgtable_stage2_split() KVM: arm64: Add KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE KVM: arm64: Export kvm_are_all_memslots_empty() KVM: arm64: Add helper for creating unlinked stage2 subtrees KVM: arm64: Add KVM_PGTABLE_WALK flags for skipping CMOs and BBM TLBIs KVM: arm64: Rename free_removed to free_unlinked Signed-off-by: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev> |
