2013-06-27kvm: Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offsetYoshihiro YUNOMAE1-0/+21
Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change. We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order. (Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in this case) This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu. TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots. The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value when TSC offset is changed. Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special instance for getting this event: 1. set a instance before booting a guest # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # mkdir tsc_offset # cd tsc_offset # echo x86-tsc > trace_clock # echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable 2. boot a guest Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

2012-11-27KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clockMarcelo Tosatti1-3/+36
With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates: ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ] Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC. system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple per VM: the "master clock". Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity. Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

2012-11-27KVM: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flagMarcelo Tosatti1-0/+30
KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. One of the reasons for that is that the time between 1. ktime_get_ts(&timespec); 2. rdtscll(tsc); Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above. The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...). If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details. Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs and guest TSCs. Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read clock from userspace. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2012-06-28tracing/kvm: Use __print_hex() for kvm_emulate_insn tracepointNamhyung Kim1-11/+1
The kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint used __print_insn() for printing its instructions. However it makes the format of the event hard to parse as it reveals TP internals. Fortunately, kernel provides __print_hex for almost same purpose, we can use it instead of open coding it. The user-space can be changed to parse it later. That means raw kernel tracing will not be affected by this change: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # cat events/kvm/kvm_emulate_insn/format name: kvm_emulate_insn ID: 29 format: ... print fmt: "%x:%llx:%s (%s)%s", REC->csbase, REC->rip, __print_hex(REC->insn, REC->len), \ __print_symbolic(REC->flags, { 0, "real" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 1), "vm16" }, \ { (1 << 0), "prot16" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 2), "prot32" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 3), "prot64" }), \ REC->failed ?

2012-06-25KVM: host side for eoi optimizationMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+34
Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory. This reduces the number of exits an interrupt causes as much as by half. The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using a test and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR. There's a new MSR to set the address of said register in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed: - Guest EOI is not required - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit For testing results see description of previous patch 'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

2011-09-25KVM: Use __print_symbolic() for vmexit tracepointsStefan Hajnoczi1-6/+100
The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable. Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm), formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to the appropriate exit reason table. However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces. In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar trouble. To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

2011-09-25KVM: Record instruction set in all vmexit tracepointsStefan Hajnoczi1-4/+8
The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding exit_reason. The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set (vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other machines. Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject so these tracepoints can also be self-describing.

2011-01-12KVM: Add instruction-set-specific exit qualifications to kvm_exit traceAvi Kivity1-2/+6
The exit reason alone is insufficient to understand exactly why an exit occured; add ISA-specific trace parameters for additional information. Because fetching these parameters is expensive on vmx, and because these parameters are fetched even if tracing is disabled, we fetch the parameters via a callback instead of as traditional trace arguments.
