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.

1. s390x/kvm: avoid synchronize_rcu's in kernel
----------------------------------------------
The first patches change s390x/kvm code to issue VCPU specific ioctls
from the VCPU thread. This will avoid unnecessary synchronize_rcu in
the kernel, which caused a noticably slowdown with many guest CPUs.
It speeds up all start/restart/reset operations involving cpus
drastically.
2. s390-ccw.img: block size and DASD format support
---------------------------------------------------
The second part changes the s390-ccw bios to IPL (boot) more disk
formats than before. Furthermore a small fix is made to the console
output of the bios.
3. s390: Support for Hotplug of Standby Memory
----------------------------------------------
The third part adds support in s390 for a pool of standby memory,
which can be set online/offline by the guest (ie, via chmem).
The standby pool of memory is allocated as the difference between
the initial memory setting and the maxmem setting.
As part of this work, additional results are provided for the
Read SCP Information SCLP, and new implentation is added for the
Read Storage Element Information, Attach Storage Element,
Assign Storage and Unassign Storage SCLPs, which enables the s390
guest to manipulate the standby memory pool.
This patchset is based on work originally done by Jeng-Fang (Nick)
Wang.
Sample qemu command snippet:
qemu -machine s390-ccw-virtio -m 1024M,maxmem=2048M,slots=32 -enable-kvm
This will allocate 1024M of active memory, and another 1024M
of standby memory. Example output from s390-tools lsmem:
=============================================================================
0x0000000000000000-0x000000000fffffff 256 online no 0-127
0x0000000010000000-0x000000001fffffff 256 online yes 128-255
0x0000000020000000-0x000000003fffffff 512 online no 256-511
0x0000000040000000-0x000000007fffffff 1024 offline - 512-1023
Memory device size : 2 MB
Memory block size : 256 MB
Total online memory : 1024 MB
Total offline memory: 1024 MB
The guest can dynamically enable part or all of the standby pool
via the s390-tools chmem, for example:
chmem -e 512M
And can attempt to dynamically disable:
chmem -d 512M
4. s390x/gdb: various fixes
---------------------------
* Patch 1 fixes a bug where the cc was changed accidentally.
* Patch 2 adds the gdb feature XML files for s390x
* Patch 3 Define acr and fpr registers as coprocessor registers. This allows us
to reuse the feature XML files.
* Patch 4 whitespace fixes

This patch reduces the core registers to the psw and the general purpose
registers. The fpc and ac registers are handled as coprocessors registers by gdb.
This allows to reuse the feature xml files taken from gdb without further
modification and is what other architectures do.
The target.xml is now generated and provided to the gdb client. Therefore, the
client doesn't have to guess which registers are available at which logical
register number.

There are four supported values: 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes

The block size value may be given "as is" OR as a base value and
a shift count (exponent). So, we have to use calculation to get
the proper number in the code.
The main expression reads as
(blk_cfg.blk_size << blk_cfg.physical_block_exp)
E.g., various combinations between blk_size=1/physical_block_exp=12
and blk_size=4096/physical_block_exp=0 are valid for 4K blocks.

In commit 63f0f45f2e the following
mechanical change was made:
if (!state) {
- qemu_aio_wait();
+ aio_poll(state->s->aio_context, true);
}
The new code now checks if state is NULL and then dereferences it
('state->s') which is obviously incorrect.
This commit replaces state->s->aio_context with
bdrv_get_aio_context(bs), fixing this problem. The two other hunks
are concerned with getting the BlockDriverState pointer bs to where it
is needed.
The original bug causes a segfault when using libguestfs to access a
VMware vCenter Server and doing any kind of complex read-heavy
operations. With this commit the segfault goes away.

In order to access VMware ESX efficiently, we need to send a session
cookie. This patch is very simple and just allows you to send that
session cookie. It punts on the question of how you get the session
cookie in the first place, but in practice you can just run a `curl'
command against the server and extract the cookie that way.
To use it, add file.cookie to the curl URL. For example:
$ qemu-img info 'json: {
"file.driver":"https",
"file.url":"https://vcenter/folder/Windows%202003/Windows%202003-flat.vmdk?dcPath=Datacenter&dsName=datastore1",
"file.sslverify":"off",
"file.cookie":"vmware_soap_session=\"52a01262-bf93-ccce-d379-8dabb3e55560\""}'
image: [...]

Now that drive_del acquires the AioContext we can safely allow deleting
the drive. As with non-dataplane mode, all I/Os submitted by the guest
after drive_del will return EIO.
This patch makes hot unplug work with virtio-blk dataplane. Previously
drive_del reported an error because the device was busy.

Make drive_del safe for dataplane where another thread may be running
the BlockDriverState's AioContext.
Note the assumption that AioContext's lifetime exceeds DriveInfo and
BlockDriverState. We release AioContext after DriveInfo and
BlockDriverState are potentially freed.
This is clearly safe with the global AioContext but also with -object
iothread and implicit iothreads created by -device
virtio-blk-pci,x-data-plane=on (their lifetime is tied to DeviceState,
not BlockDriverState).

If two Linux AIO request completions are fetched in the same
io_getevents() call, QEMU will deadlock if request A's callback waits
for request B to complete using an aio_poll() loop. This was reported
to happen with the mirror blockjob.
This patch moves completion processing into a BH and makes it resumable.
Nested event loops can resume completion processing so that request B
will complete and the deadlock will not occur.
