It seems that it's easy to implement the EOI assist
on top of the PV EOI feature: simply convert the
page address to the format expected by PV EOI.
Notes:
-"No EOI required" is set only if interrupt injected
is edge triggered; this is true because level interrupts are going
through IOAPIC which disables PV EOI.
In any case, if guest triggers EOI the bit will get cleared on exit.
-For migration, set of HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE sets
KVM_PV_EOI_EN internally, so restoring HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE
seems sufficient
In any case, bit is cleared on exit so worst case it's never re-enabled
-no handling of PV EOI data is performed at HV_X64_MSR_EOI write;
HV_X64_MSR_EOI is a separate optimization - it's an X2APIC
replacement that lets you do EOI with an MSR and not IO.

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on
Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even
able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec)
when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and
the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can
speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root
from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks.
Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu
are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu
uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides
do not do rcu lockdep at all).
Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just
want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods.
Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS
and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch
has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the
data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the
cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation).
(Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected,
changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8%
probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch.
The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points).

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later

instead of making them un-present, the page fault caused by read access can
be avoided
The idea is from Avi:
| As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea,
| since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces
| jitter. This removes the need for the return value.
This version has fixed the issue reported in 6b73a9606, the reason of that
issue is that fast_page_fault() directly sets the readonly large spte to
writable but only dirty the first page into the dirty-bitmap that means
other pages are missed. Fixed it by only the normal sptes (on the

If a guest enables a performance counter but does not enable PMI, the
hypervisor currently does not reprogram the performance counter once it
overflows. As a result the host performance counter is kept with the original
sampling period which was configured according to the value of the guest's
counter when the counter was enabled.
Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can
cause the guest not to make any progress at all, and keep exiting due to host
PMI before any guest instructions is exeucted. This situation occurs when the
performance counter holds a very high value when the guest enables the
performance counter. As a result the host's sampling period is configured to be
very short. The host then never reconfigures the sampling period and get stuck
at entry->PMI->exit loop. We encountered such a scenario in our experiments.
The solution is to reprogram the counter even if the guest does not use PMI.

versions also do not use the storage keys for dirty and reference
tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults
as well as page-in and page-out by simply not caring about the guest
visible storage key. We trap guest storage key instruction to enable
those keys only on demand.
Migration bitmap
Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty bitmap. Let's provide a
proper migration bitmap for s390. We also change the user dirty tracking
to a fault based mechanism. This makes the host completely independent
from the storage keys. Long term this will allow us to back guest memory
with large pages.
per-VM device attributes
------------------------
To avoid the introduction of new ioctls, let's provide the
attribute semanantic also on the VM-"device".
Userspace controlled CMMA
-------------------------
The CMMA assist is changed from "always on" to "on if requested" via
per-VM device attributes. In addition a callback to reset all usage
states is provided.
Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts
----------------------------------------
While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects,
KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of
intercepts. This worked out fine, because
- the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real
for all pages up to memory size
- intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases
- all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current
distros
Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc.
We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work
on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has
been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going
public.
GDB support
-----------
We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints.
Fixes/Cleanups
--------------
- Improve program check delivery
- Factor out the handling of transactional memory on program checks
- Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB
- Several cleanups in the lowcore structure
- Documentation
NOTES
-----
- All patches touching base s390 are either ACKed or written by the s390
maintainers
- One base KVM patch "KVM: add kvm_is_error_gpa() helper"
- One patch introduces the notion of VM device attributes

Lazy storage key handling

Linux does not use the ACC and F bits of the storage key. Newer Linux

tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults

When a guest is single-stepped, we want to disable timer interrupts. Otherwise,
the guest will continuously execute the external interrupt handler and make
debugging of code where timer interrupts are enabled almost impossible.
The delivery of timer interrupts can be enforced in such sections by setting a
breakpoint and continuing execution.
In order to disable timer interrupts, they are disabled in the control register
of the guest just before SIE entry and are suppressed in the interrupt
check/delivery methods.
