Subject[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM: x86: add support for VMX TSC scaling
Message-ID<qlzQe-5Bb-33@gated-at.bofh.it>
This patchset adds support for VMX TSC scaling feature which is
available on Intel Skylake CPU. The specification of VMX TSC scaling
can be found at
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/timestamp-counter-scaling-virtualization-white-paper.html

VMX TSC scaling allows guest TSC which is read by guest rdtsc(p)
instructions increases in a rate that is customized by the hypervisor
and can be different than the host TSC rate. Basically, VMX TSC
scaling adds a 64-bit field called TSC multiplier in VMCS so that, if
VMX TSC scaling is enabled, TSC read by guest rdtsc(p) instructions
will be calculated by the following formula:

  guest EDX:EAX = (Host TSC * TSC multiplier) >> 48 + VMX TSC Offset

where, Host TSC = Host MSR_IA32_TSC + Host MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST.

This patchset, when cooperating with another QEMU patchset (sent in
another email "target-i386: save/restore vcpu's TSC rate during
migration"), allows guest programs observe a consistent TSC rate even
though they are migrated among machines with different host TSC rates.

VMX TSC scaling shares some common logics with SVM TSC ratio which
is already supported by KVM. Patch 1 ~ 8 move those common logics from
SVM code to the common code. Upon them, patch 9 ~ 12 add VMX-specific
support for VMX TSC scaling.

Changes in v2:
 * Remove the duplicated variable 'kvm_tsc_scaling_ratio_rsvd'.
 * Remove an unnecessary error check in original patch 2.
 * Do 64-bit arithmetic by functions recommended by Paolo.
 * Make kvm_set_tsc_khz() returns an error number so that ioctl
   KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ does not return 0 if errors happen.

Message-ID<qlzQf-5Bb-51@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1251380
VMX and SVM calculate the TSC scaling ratio in a similar logic, so this
patch generalizes it to a common TSC scaling function.

#1251394 — [PATCH v2 06/12] KVM: x86: Move TSC scaling logic out of call-back adjust_tsc_offset()

FromHaozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com>
Date2015-10-20 09:50 +0200
Subject[PATCH v2 06/12] KVM: x86: Move TSC scaling logic out of call-back adjust_tsc_offset()
Message-ID<qlzQg-5Bb-75@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1251380
For both VMX and SVM, if the 2nd argument of call-back
adjust_tsc_offset() is the host TSC, then adjust_tsc_offset() will scale
it first. This patch moves this common TSC scaling logic to its caller
adjust_tsc_offset_host() and rename the call-back adjust_tsc_offset() to
adjust_tsc_offset_guest().

#1251408 — [PATCH v2 04/12] KVM: x86: Replace call-back set_tsc_khz() with a common function

FromHaozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com>
Date2015-10-20 10:00 +0200
Subject[PATCH v2 04/12] KVM: x86: Replace call-back set_tsc_khz() with a common function
Message-ID<qlzZV-5Mu-33@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1251380
Both VMX and SVM propagate virtual_tsc_khz in the same way, so this
patch removes the call-back set_tsc_khz() and replaces it with a common
function.

Have you tested your changes on an AMD machine too?

No, since I don't have AMD machines at hand. The modifications to SVM
code are mostly lifting common code with VMX TSC scaling code, so it
should still work on AMD machines.

Well, I think it would be good if you can provide a Tested-by on AMD
machines from someone who has one. Or get one yourself when changing AMD
specific code, they are not that expensive :)
I can do some testing when I am back from my travels, but that will not
be before early November.

Hi Paolo,

I just posted the test instructions. It would be very appreciated if
you can help to test this patchset on AMD machines (two are required).

Thanks,

I'll try to get a test result. And it would be very appreciated if you
could test as well.

Following is how I test this patchset. It should also apply to AMD
machines by replacing Intel with AMD and VMX TSC scaling with SVM TSC
ratio.

* Hardware Requirements
  1) Two machines with Intel CPUs, called M_A and M_B below.
  2) TSC frequency of CPUs on M_A is different from CPUs on M_B.
     Suppose TSC frequency on M_A is f_a KHz.
  3) At least CPUs on M_B support VMX TSC scaling.

* Software Requirements
  1) Apply this patchset to KVM on both machines.
  2) Apply QEMU patches[1] to QEMU commit 40fe17b on both machines

* Test Process
  1) Start a linux guest on M_A
       qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -cpu qemu66 -m 512 -hda linux.img
       
  2) In guest linux, check the TSC frequency detected by Linux kernel.
     e.g. search in dmeg for messages like
       "tsc: Detected XYZ.ABC MHz processor" or
       "tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: XYZ.ABC MHz"
  
  3) Start QEMU waiting for migration on M_B:
       qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -cpu qemu64,load-tsc-freq -m 512 -hda linux.img -incoming tcp:0:1234
       
  4) Migrate above VM to M_B as normal in QEMU monitor:
       migrate tcp:<M_B's ip>:1234
       
  5) After the migration, if VMX TSC scaling and this patchset work on
     M_B, no messages like
       "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = xxxxx ns)"
     should appear in dmesg of guest linux

  6) Furthermore, users can also check whether guest TSC after the
     migration increases in the same rate as before by running the
     attached program test_tsc in VM:
       ./test_tsc N f_a
     It measures the number of TSC ticks passed in N seconds, and
     divides it by the expected TSC frequency f_a to get the output
     result. If this patchset works, the output should be very closed
     to N
