[PATCH 1/3] put kvm_para.h include outside __KERNEL__

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

kvm_para.h potentially contains definitions that are to be used by kvm-userspace,
so it should not be included inside the __KERNEL__ block. To protect its own data structures,
kvm_para.h already includes its own __KERNEL__ block.

[PATCH 2/3] kvmclock - the host part.

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does
not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We
only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writting to it periodically.

The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info structure.

[PATCH 3/3] [PATCH] kvmclock implementation, the guest part.

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.

We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.

Other than that, time comes from the host.

We want to avoid updating wall clock all the time.  As far as I 
understand, wall clock is just a base which doesn't change.  To get the 
real wall clock, you read the shared_info wall clock and add the current 
system time.  This means that you avoid writing to a shared global  
(which is expensive in cache lines).  The shared_info wall clock is only 
updated if the host clocked is moved (other than in the way you expect 
it to).

Also, when you write to the shared clock, you must respect the protocol 
since it can be read concurrently:

- increment the version
- smp_wmb()
- copy the goodies
- smp_wmb()
- increment the version again

[I think this is the protocol, but better read the sources to double-check]

... and everything non-time-related in here.  Yes, in means we need two 
msrs (for wall clock and system time), but it also means we don't impose 
any layout upon the guest, and do not (for example) restrict the number 
of vcpus.  We could easily put the vcpu clock in a per_cpu() area.

Yep, it is.  Got that wrong first in xenner, with the result that guest

Oh, yeah.  No point in assembling the whole xen shared info page.  Just
xen_vcpu_time_info is enougth, it will work just fine for xenner.

We should also not use the xen_ namespace, that can only cause conflicts.

[PATCH 0/3] KVM clock, new iteration

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

Hi folks,

A lot of time has been elapsed since I last sent a version of kvm clock,
with a lot of things in the middle, including my vacations and a nasty bug
in the clock itself ;-)

Here it is a new version. I'm following avi's last suggestion of using an msr
to make it more migration-proof. If it's not approved, we can easily switch back
to the hypercall mechanism. That's the easy part ;-)

Clock updates are done every time we're scheduled. It is _not_ enough to check
if we're changing cpus, because the tsc will change its frequency when the cpu is
idle (if using the mwait idle). So after a long idle period, one cpu will end up stepping
ahead causing a backward time (remember the bug I talked about? :-) )

As I fell it ready for inclusion (which obviously does not mean it is perfect, nor that
I don't value any further comments ), I'm also posting the userspace patches in a separate
series that will follow shortly.

[PATCH 1/3] put kvm_para.h include outside __KERNEL__

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

kvm_para.h potentially contains definitions that are to be used by kvm-userspace,
so it should not be included inside the __KERNEL__ block. To protect its own data structures,
kvm_para.h already includes its own __KERNEL__ block.

[PATCH 2/3] [PATCH] kvmclock - the host part.

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does
not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We
only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writting to it periodically.

The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info structure.

[PATCH 3/3] [PATCH] kvmclock implementation, the guest part.

[Glauber de Oliveira Costa]

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.

We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.

Other than that, time comes from the host.
