[PATCH v4 16/16] kvm/arm: Align the VMID allocation with the arm64 ASID one

Shameer Kolothum shameerali.kolothum.thodi at huawei.com
Wed Apr 14 12:23:12 BST 2021


From: Julien Grall <julien.grall at arm.com>

At the moment, the VMID algorithm will send an SGI to all the CPUs to
force an exit and then broadcast a full TLB flush and I-Cache
invalidation.

This patch re-use the new ASID allocator. The
benefits are:
    - CPUs are not forced to exit at roll-over. Instead the VMID will be
    marked reserved and the context will be flushed at next exit. This
    will reduce the IPIs traffic.
    - Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than broadcasted.
    - Catalin has a formal model of the ASID allocator.

With the new algo, the code is now adapted:
    - The function __kvm_flush_vm_context() has been renamed to
    __kvm_tlb_flush_local_all() and now only flushing the current CPU
    context.
    - The call to update_vmid() will be done with preemption disabled
    as the new algo requires to store information per-CPU.
    - The TLBs associated to EL1 will be flushed when booting a CPU to
    deal with stale information. This was previously done on the
    allocation of the first VMID of a new generation.

Test Results:

v4:
The measurement was made on a HiSilicon D06 platform with maxcpus set
to 8 and with the number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves
running concurrently 40 guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then
 execute hackbench 5 times before exiting.

The performance difference between the current algo and the new one are
(avg. of 10 runs):
   - 1.9% less entry/exit from guest
   - 0.7% faster

v3:
The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
before exiting.

The performance difference between the current algo and the new one are:
    - 2.5% less exit from the guest
    - 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than
    broadcasted
    - 0.11% faster (just for the record)
