implementing victim TLB for QEMU system emulated TLB QEMU system mode page table walks are expensive. Taken by running QEMU qemu-system-x86_64 system mode on Intel PIN , a TLB miss and walking a 4-level page tables in guest Linux OS takes ~450 X86 instructions on average. QEMU system mode TLB is implemented using a directly-mapped hashtable. This structure suffers from conflict misses. Increasing the associativity of the TLB may not be the solution to conflict misses as all the ways may have to be walked in serial. A victim TLB is a TLB used to hold translations evicted from the primary TLB upon replacement. The victim TLB lies between the main TLB and its refill path. Victim TLB is of greater associativity (fully associative in this patch). It takes longer to lookup the victim TLB, but its likely better than a full page table walk. The memory translation path is changed as follows : Before Victim TLB: 1. Inline TLB lookup 2. Exit code cache on TLB miss. 3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses 4. TLB refill. 5. Do the memory access. 6. Return to code cache. After Victim TLB: 1. Inline TLB lookup 2. Exit code cache on TLB miss. 3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses 4. Victim TLB lookup. 5. If victim TLB misses, TLB refill 6. Do the memory access. 7. Return to code cache The advantage is that victim TLB can offer more associativity to a directly mapped TLB and thus potentially fewer page table walks while still keeping the time taken to flush within reasonable limits. However, placing a victim TLB before the refill path increase TLB refill path as the victim TLB is consulted before the TLB refill. The performance results demonstrate that the pros outweigh the cons. some performance results taken on SPECINT2006 train datasets and kernel boot and qemu configure script on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz Linux machine are shown in the Google Doc link below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eiItzekZwNQOal_h-5iJmC4tMDi051m9qidi5_nwvH4/edit?usp=sharing In summary, victim TLB improves the performance of qemu-system-x86_64 by 11% on average on SPECINT2006, kernelboot and qemu configscript and with highest improvement of in 26% in 456.hmmer. And victim TLB does not result in any performance degradation in any of the measured benchmarks. Furthermore, the implemented victim TLB is architecture independent and is expected to benefit other architectures in QEMU as well. Although there are measurement fluctuations, the performance improvement is very significant and by no means in the range of noises.

/* TCG_TARGET_TLB_DISPLACEMENT_BITS is used in CPU_TLB_BITS to ensure that

* TLB lookup instruction sequence used by the TCG target.
*
* TCG will have to generate an operand as large as the distance between
* env and the tlb_table[NB_MMU_MODES - 1][0].addend. For simplicity,
* the TCG targets just round everything up to the next power of two, and
* count bits. This works because: 1) the size of each TLB is a largish
* power of two, 2) and because the limit of the displacement is really close
* to a power of two, 3) the offset of tlb_table[0][0] inside env is smaller
* than the size of a TLB.
*
* For example, the maximum displacement 0xFFF0 on PPC and MIPS, but TCG
* just says "the displacement is 16 bits". TCG_TARGET_TLB_DISPLACEMENT_BITS
* then ensures that tlb_table at least 0x8000 bytes large ("not unnecessarily
* small": 2^15). The operand then will come up smaller than 0xFFF0 without
* any particular care, because the TLB for a single MMU mode is larger than
* 0x10000-0xFFF0=16 bytes. In the end, the maximum value of the operand
* could be something like 0xC000 (the offset of the last TLB table) plus
* 0x18 (the offset of the addend field in each TLB entry) plus the offset
* of tlb_table inside env (which is non-trivial but not huge).
