cover Hyper-V: praravirtualized remote TLB flushing and hypercall improvements

Hi,

Hyper-V supports hypercalls for doing local and remote TLB flushing and gives its guests hints when using hypercall is preferred. While doing hypercalls for local TLB flushes is probably not practical (and is not being suggested by modern Hyper-V versions) remote TLB flush with a hypercall brings significant improvement.

To test the series I wrote a special 'TLB trasher': on a 16 vCPU guest I was creating 32 threads which were doing 100000 mmap/munmaps each on some big file. Here are the results:

Before:

# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile 
real	3m44.994s
user	0m3.829s
sys	3m36.323s

After:

# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile 
real	2m57.145s
user	0m3.797s
sys	2m34.812s

This series brings a number of small improvements along the way: fast hypercall implementation and using it for event signaling, rep hypercalls implementation, hyperv tracing subsystem (which only traces the newly added remote TLB flush for now).

PATCH 1/7 x86/hyperv: make hv_do_hypercall() inline

We have only three call sites for hv_do_hypercall() and we're going to change HVCALL_SIGNAL_EVENT to doing fast hypercall so we can inline this function for optimization.

Hyper-V top level functional specification states that r9-r11 registers and flags may be clobbered by the hypervisor during hypercall and with inlining this is somewhat important, add the clobbers.

PATCH 2/7 x86/hyper-v: fast hypercall implementation

In reply to Vitaly Kuznetsov

Hyper-V supports 'fast' hypercalls when all parameters are passed through registers. Implement an inline version of a simpliest of these calls:
hypercall with one 8-byte input and no output.

Proper hypercall input interface (struct hv_hypercall_input) definition is added as well.

Please clobber ECX, EDI and ESI for x86. Clobber memory as well?

Quoted 5 lines
Quoted 2 lines

ECX is already in listed in inputs (lower part of input1) so it's automatically clobbered. I'll add EDI and ESI to clobbers here, thanks!

Oh, I see what you mean - hypervisor is allowed to write to ecx too, we need to pass it with '+'. Will do, thanks!

Yes, thank you Vitaly!

As for memory clobber, we would want that if there were hypercalls that modify memory and can issued via the "fast" ABI. If there are not, we are fine.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] x86/hyper-v: fast hypercall implementation

Hyper-V supports 'fast' hypercalls when all parameters are passed through registers. Implement an inline version of a simpliest of these calls:
hypercall with one 8-byte input and no output.

Proper hypercall input interface (struct hv_hypercall_input) definition is added as well.

Defining the hyper-call arguments on the stack can be problematic
if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is defined - since we are passing the guest
physical address to the hypervisor, we cannot have the arguments
straddle a page boundary.
We have dealt with this issue currently by making sure the arguments are never on the stack via different means. Perhaps, we can allocate memory on a per-cpu basis that can be used for this purpose. In fact, this is what I have done
for the hv_post_message hypercall. We can just rename that page and use it in all
hypercalls - we can just allocate two pages on a per-CPU basis for this purpose (for input and output parameters).

This is fast hypercall and not the normal one - we pass control to register so we're fine here (and I'd actually expect the compiler to put it to the propper register in the first place.

PATCH 3/7 hyper-v: use fast hypercall for HVCALL_SIGNAL_EVENT

In reply to Vitaly Kuznetsov

We need to pass only 8 bytes of input for HvSignalEvent which makes it a perfect fit for fast hypercall. hv_input_signal_event_buffer is not needed any more and hv_input_signal_event is converted to union for convenience.

PATCH 4/7 x86/hyperv: implement rep hypercalls

In reply to Vitaly Kuznetsov

Rep hypercalls are normal hypercalls which perform multiple actions at once. Hyper-V guarantees to return exectution to the caller in not more than 50us and the caller needs to use hypercall continuation. Touch NMI watchdog between hypercall invocations.

This is going to be used for HvFlushVirtualAddressList hypercall for remote TLB flushing.

I'd like to avoid dynamic checks here to keep this as fast as possible. Static check is probably not an option as even the only user we have now calculates this parameter dynamically. I'll add a comment to the function, thanks!

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] hyper-v: globalize vp_index

To support implementing remote TLB flushing on Hyper-V with a hypercall we need to make vp_index available outside of vmbus module. Rename and globalize.

PATCH 6/7 x86/hyper-v: use hypercall for remove TLB flush

In reply to Vitaly Kuznetsov

Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush, this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.

Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas on boot. These areas are of fixes size, limit them with an arbitrary number of 16 (16 gvas are able to specify 16 * 4096 pages).

pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().

It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Does this need an alignment declaration, so that the flush portion never crosses a page boundary when allocated with alloc_percpu()?

Does this need an alignment declaration, so that the flush portion never crosses a page boundary when allocated with alloc_percpu()?

Thanks for pointing this out! I would slightly prefer we use __alloc_percpu() and specify something like roundup_pow_of_two() alignment.

Now I'm not sure why I put it here in the first place :-) Yes, it would probably do.

NMI - I don't think so, native function does smp_call_function_many() which WARNs even if it's called with interrupts disabled.

Could this be a long-running loop, e.g. due to a large start/end range? If so, consider disabling interrupts only in the inner loop / flush the entire space?

The decision for flushing the entire space should probably be done elsewhere as it is not implementation-specific (and I think it's done somewhere as I never see requests to flush more than 4096 pages in my testing).

I can disable interrupts in the inner loop but we'll have to stash flags and calculated cpu_mask to some local variables. This is not supposed to be expensive.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] x86/hyper-v: use hypercall for remove TLB flush

Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush, this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.

Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot. These areas are of fixes size, limit them with an arbitrary number of 16 (16 gvas are able to specify 16 * 4096 pages).

pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().

It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Actually, I was never able to see kernel trying to flush more than 4096 pages so we can get away with HV_MMU_MAX_GVAS=1. I went through the code and didn't see any 'limit' for the number of pages we can ask to flush so it can be a coincidence. Each addition gva_list item requires 8 bytes only so I put and arbitrary '16' here.

Thanks! It is even specified in the specification:
"Future versions of the hypervisor may support more than 64 virtual processors per partition. In that case, a new field will be added to the flags value that allows the caller to define the “processor bank” to which the processor mask applies."

We, however, need to know where to put this in flags.

Thanks! It is even specified in the specification:

We, however, need to know where to put this in flags.

Would the HvFlushVirtualAddressListEx hypercall do? Is there a doc update/clarification needed?

Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush, this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.

have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot. These areas are of fixes size, limit them with an arbitrary number of 16 (16 gvas are able to specify 16 * 4096 pages).

pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().

It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Did you experiment with different sizes here.

Actually, I was never able to see kernel trying to flush more than 4096 pages so we can get away with HV_MMU_MAX_GVAS=1. I went through the code
and didn't see any 'limit' for the number of pages we can ask to flush so it can be a coincidence. Each addition gva_list item requires 8 bytes only so I put and arbitrary '16' here.

There is a new Hypercall for targeting more than 64 VCPUs. For now, we can check if the CPU mask Is specifying more than 64 CPUs and use native call if that is the case.

Since this is architecture specific code, can you keep the header file in arch/x86?

You can see how to do this in the samples/trace_events/ directory and see other examples in x86 like arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and arch/x86/include/asm/trace/mpx.h.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Hyper-V: praravirtualized remote TLB flushing and hypercall improvements

Hi,

Hyper-V supports hypercalls for doing local and remote TLB flushing and gives its guests hints when using hypercall is preferred. While doing hypercalls for local TLB flushes is probably not practical (and is not being suggested by modern Hyper-V versions) remote TLB flush with a hypercall brings significant improvement.

To test the series I wrote a special 'TLB trasher': on a 16 vCPU guest I was creating 32 threads which were doing 100000 mmap/munmaps each on some
big file. Here are the results:

Before:

# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile
real	3m44.994s
user	0m3.829s
sys	3m36.323s

After:

# time ./pthread_mmap ./randfile
real	2m57.145s
user	0m3.797s
sys	2m34.812s
Quoted 5 lines

This series brings a number of small improvements along the way: fast hypercall implementation and using it for event signaling, rep hypercalls implementation, hyperv tracing subsystem (which only traces the newly added
remote TLB flush for now).

Thanks Vitaly. We are currently testing these patches on Azure and other Hyper-V platforms and will report back.
