v4 cover Create a userfaultfd demand paging test

When handling page faults for many vCPUs during demand paging, KVM's MMU lock becomes highly contended. This series creates a test with a naive userfaultfd based demand paging implementation to demonstrate that contention. This test serves both as a functional test of userfaultfd and a microbenchmark of demand paging performance with a variable number of vCPUs and memory per vCPU.

The test creates N userfaultfd threads, N vCPUs, and a region of memory with M pages per vCPU. The N userfaultfd polling threads are each set up to serve faults on a region of memory corresponding to one of the vCPUs. Each of the vCPUs is then started, and touches each page of its disjoint memory region, sequentially. In response to faults, the userfaultfd threads copy a static buffer into the guest's memory. This creates a worst case for MMU lock contention as we have removed most of the contention between the userfaultfd threads and there is no time required to fetch the contents of guest memory.

This test was run successfully on Intel Haswell, Broadwell, and Cascadelake hosts with a variety of vCPU counts and memory sizes.

This test was adapted from the dirty_log_test.

The series can also be viewed in Gerrit here:
https://linux-review.googlesource.com/c/virt/kvm/kvm/+/1464
(Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov <[email protected]> for setting up the Gerrit instance)

v4 (Responding to feedback from Andrew Jones, Peter Xu, and Peter Shier):
- Tested this revision by running
demand_paging_test
at each commit in the series on an Intel Haswell machine. Ran demand_paging_test -u -v 8 -b 8M -d 10
on the same machine at the last commit in the series.
- Readded partial aarch64 support, though aarch64 and s390 remain untested
- Implemented pipefd polling to reduce UFFD thread exit latency
- Added variable unit input for memory size so users can pass command line arguments of the form -b 24M instead of the raw number or bytes
- Moved a missing break from a patch later in the series to an earlier one
- Moved to syncing per-vCPU global variables to guest and looking up per-vcpu arguments based on a single CPU ID passed to each guest vCPU. This allows for future patches to pass more than the supported number of arguments for each arch to the vCPUs.
- Implemented vcpu_args_set for s390 and aarch64 [UNTESTED]
- Changed vm_create to always allocate memslot 0 at 4G instead of only when the number of pages required is large.
- Changed vcpu_wss to vcpu_memory_size for clarity.

We don't need the #ifdef around ucall_init anymore, now that architectures that don't need it got stubs. I guess dirty_log_test.c could be cleaned up too. I'll send a patch.

I gave your series a quick try on s390x (without patch 10/10 since that is causing more trouble), but the test does not work there yet:

I'd suggest to leave it disabled on s390x until the issue has been debugged.

PATCH v4 2/10 KVM: selftests: Add demand paging content to the demand paging test

In reply to Ben Gardon

The demand paging test is currently a simple page access test which, while potentially useful, doesn't add much versus the existing dirty logging test. To improve the demand paging test, add a basic userfaultfd demand paging implementation.

PATCH v4 3/10 KVM: selftests: Add configurable demand paging delay

In reply to Ben Gardon

When running the demand paging test with the -u option, the User Fault FD handler essentially adds an arbitrary delay to page fault resolution. To enable better simulation of a real demand paging scenario, add a configurable delay to the UFFD handler.

I'd use strtoull(size, NULL, 0), allowing the user to input full 0x... sizes too. And, if the strtoull is done before the scale parsing, then you could supply a non-null endptr and avoid the need for the for loop.

In preparation for supporting multiple vCPUs in the demand paging test, pass arguments to the vCPU in a consolidated global struct instead of syncing multiple globals.

PATCH v4 6/10 KVM: selftests: Add support for vcpu_args_set to aarch64 and s390x

In reply to Ben Gardon

Currently vcpu_args_set is only implemented for x86. This makes writing tests with multiple vCPUs difficult as each guest vCPU must either a.) do the same thing or b.) derive some kind of unique token from it's registers or the architecture. To simplify the process of writing tests with multiple vCPUs for s390 and aarch64, add set args functions for those architectures.

It'd be nice to keep the separate architecture changes in separate patches. Otherwise I can't really give an r-b.

lib/aarch64/processor.c so far doesn't have big function headers like this. Also, since this function is common for all architectures [now], I feel like the documentation should be in common code - so in the header file.

Weird line breaking. I see it came from the x86 implementation, but it's weird there too... Personally I'd just put it all on one line, because my vt100 died two decades ago.

Currently vcpu_args_set is only implemented for x86. This makes writing tests with multiple vCPUs difficult as each guest vCPU must either a.) do the same thing or b.) derive some kind of unique token from it's registers or the architecture. To simplify the process of writing tests with multiple vCPUs for s390 and aarch64, add set args functions for those architectures.

It'd be nice to keep the separate architecture changes in separate patches. Otherwise I can't really give an r-b.

lib/aarch64/processor.c so far doesn't have big function headers like this. Also, since this function is common for all architectures [now], I feel like the documentation should be in common code - so in the header file.

Re: [PATCH v4 06/10] KVM: selftests: Add support for vcpu_args_set to aarch64 and s390x

In reply to Ben Gardon
Quoted 12 lines · Ben Gardon

Currently vcpu_args_set is only implemented for x86. This makes writing tests with multiple vCPUs difficult as each guest vCPU must either a.) do the same thing or b.) derive some kind of unique token from it's registers or the architecture. To simplify the process of writing tests with multiple vCPUs for s390 and aarch64, add set args functions for those architectures.

This should be GUEST_ASSERT(vcpu_args[vcpu_id].vcpu_id == vcpu_id), which will do a UCALL_ABORT when it fails. Otherwise we're returning to where? Likely we'll get an exception of some sort when we return to nothing, but that's not a very clean way to die.

PATCH v4 9/10 KVM: selftests: Stop memslot creation in KVM internal memslot region

In reply to Ben Gardon

KVM creates internal memslots covering the region between 3G and 4G in the guest physical address space, when the first vCPU is created. Mapping this region before creation of the first vCPU causes vCPU creation to fail. Prohibit tests from creating such a memslot and fail with a helpful warning when they try to.

The internal memslots are much higher than this (0xfffbc000 and 0xfee00000). I'm changing the patch to block 0xfe0000000 and above, otherwise it breaks vmx_dirty_log_test.

Ah, that makes perfect sense, thank you for clarifying. I think the 3G-4G in my head may have come from the x86 PCI hole or similar. In any case, reducing the prohibited range to just the range covered by internal memslots feels like a good change.

0xfee00000 < 4*GB

True

Am I missing something?

I don't think blocking 0xfe0000000 and above is useful, as there's nothing mapped in that region and AFAIK it's perfectly valid to create memslots there.

PATCH v4 10/10 KVM: selftests: Move memslot 0 above KVM internal memslots

In reply to Ben Gardon

KVM creates internal memslots between 3 and 4 GiB paddrs on the first vCPU creation. If memslot 0 is large enough it collides with these memslots an causes vCPU creation to fail. Instead of creating memslot 0 at paddr 0, start it 4G into the guest physical address space.

Memslot 0 should not be too large, so this patch should not be needed.

Uh oh, I obviously did not test this patch adequately. My apologies. I'll send another version of this patch after I've had time to test it better. The memslots between 3G and 4G are also somewhat x86 specific, so maybe this code should be elsewhere.

Memslot 0 should not be too large, so this patch should not be needed.

I found that 3GB was not sufficient for memslot zero in my testing because it needs to contain both the stack for every vCPU and the page tables for the VM. When I ran with 416 vCPUs and of 1.6TB of total ram, memslot zero needed to be substantially larger than 3G. Just the 4K guest PTEs required to map 4G per-vCPU for 416 vCPUs require (((416
* (4<<30)) / 4096) * 8) / (1<<30) = 3.25GB of memory.
I suppose another slot could be used for the page tables, but that would complicate the implementation of any tests that want to run large VMs substantially.

AFAIK the ELF binaries on s390x are linked to addresses below 4G, so generally removing the memslot here seems to be a bad idea on s390x.

When handling page faults for many vCPUs during demand paging, KVM's MMU lock becomes highly contended. This series creates a test with a naive userfaultfd based demand paging implementation to demonstrate that contention. This test serves both as a functional test of userfaultfd and a microbenchmark of demand paging performance with a variable number of vCPUs and memory per vCPU.

The test creates N userfaultfd threads, N vCPUs, and a region of memory with M pages per vCPU. The N userfaultfd polling threads are each set up to serve faults on a region of memory corresponding to one of the vCPUs. Each of the vCPUs is then started, and touches each page of its disjoint memory region, sequentially. In response to faults, the userfaultfd threads copy a static buffer into the guest's memory. This creates a worst case for MMU lock contention as we have removed most of the contention between the userfaultfd threads and there is no time required to fetch the contents of guest memory.

This test was run successfully on Intel Haswell, Broadwell, and Cascadelake hosts with a variety of vCPU counts and memory sizes.

This test was adapted from the dirty_log_test.

The series can also be viewed in Gerrit here:
https://linux-review.googlesource.com/c/virt/kvm/kvm/+/1464
(Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov <[email protected]> for setting up the Gerrit instance)

v4 (Responding to feedback from Andrew Jones, Peter Xu, and Peter Shier):
- Tested this revision by running
demand_paging_test
at each commit in the series on an Intel Haswell machine. Ran demand_paging_test -u -v 8 -b 8M -d 10
on the same machine at the last commit in the series.
- Readded partial aarch64 support, though aarch64 and s390 remain untested
- Implemented pipefd polling to reduce UFFD thread exit latency
- Added variable unit input for memory size so users can pass command line arguments of the form -b 24M instead of the raw number or bytes
- Moved a missing break from a patch later in the series to an earlier one
- Moved to syncing per-vCPU global variables to guest and looking up per-vcpu arguments based on a single CPU ID passed to each guest vCPU. This allows for future patches to pass more than the supported number of arguments for each arch to the vCPUs.
- Implemented vcpu_args_set for s390 and aarch64 [UNTESTED]
- Changed vm_create to always allocate memslot 0 at 4G instead of only when the number of pages required is large.
- Changed vcpu_wss to vcpu_memory_size for clarity.
