[Devel] [PATCH v1] KVM: x86: avoid redundant REQ_EVENT

Denis Plotnikov dplotnikov at virtuozzo.com
Tue Jan 10 08:14:01 PST 2017


When processing KVM_REQ_EVENT, apic_update_ppr is called which may set
KVM_REQ_EVENT again if the recalculated value of PPR becomes smaller
than the previous one. This results in cancelling the guest entry and
reiterating in vcpu_enter_guest.

However this is unnecessary because at this point KVM_REQ_EVENT is
already being processed and there are no other changes in the lapic
that may require full-fledged state recalculation.

This situation is often hit on systems with TPR shadow, where the
TPR can be updated by the guest without a vmexit, so that the first
apic_update_ppr to notice it is exactly the one called while
processing KVM_REQ_EVENT.

To avoid it, introduce a parameter in apic_update_ppr allowing to
suppress setting of KVM_REQ_EVENT, and use it on the paths called from
KVM_REQ_EVENT processing.
Also add the parameter to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt to be passed through
to apic_update_ppr to make sure the supression of KVM_REQ_EVENT is done
in the KVM_REQ_EVENT processing path only.

This microoptimization gives 10% performance increase on a synthetic
test doing a lot of IPC in Windows using window messages.
