From 0c5f81dad46c90792e6c3c4797131323c9e96dcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2019 09:26:51 +0800 Subject: KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted interrupt MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled. In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts, which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires. The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping. If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode, ~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially.

Most smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected (VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
