[PATCH/RFC 1/4]Introduce a new field "guest" in cpustat

[Laurent Vivier]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 386 bytes --]

[PATCH 1/4] as modern CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and
"system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time used by
the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this new field.

[PATCH/RFC 3/4]Introduce "account modifiers" mechanism

[Laurent Vivier]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 473 bytes --]

[PATCH 3/3] introduce "account modifiers" mechanism in the kernel allowing a
module to modify the collected accounting for a given task. This implementation
is based on the "preempt_notifier". "account_system_time()" and
"account_user_time()" can call functions registered by a module to modify the
cputime value.

Hi Laurent,

	This seems a little like overkill.  Why not just add an
"account_guest_time" which subtracts the given amount of time from
system time (if available) and adds it to guest time?  Then kvm (and
lguest) should just need to call this at the right times.

Am I missing something?
Rusty.

Hi Rusty,
how are your puppies ?
And thank you for your comment.

We can. I did something like this before.
By doing like that, I think there is a major issue: system time can be
decreasing (as we substract a value from it), and thus we can have negative
value in a tool like top. It's why I play with the cputime to add to system time
and not directly with the system time.

BUT I'm very open, my only goal is be able to compute guest time, "how" is not
very important...

what we can do:

- keep PATCHES 1 and 2, because we need to store guest time for cpu and tasks.
It is very generic.

- remove PATCH 3, and add in task_struct a "ktime vtime" where we accumulate
guest time (by calling something like guest_enter() and guest_exit() from the
virtualization engine), and when in account_system_time() we have cputime >
vtime we substrate vtime from cputime and add vtime to user time and guest time.
But doing like this we freeze in kernel/sched.c the link between system time,
user time and guest time (i.e. system time = system time - vtime, user time =
user time + vtime and guest time = guest time + vtime).

- modify PATCH 4 to use new PATCH 3.

Do you agree ? Anybody doesn't agree ?

Laurent

Actually, I think we can set a per-cpu "in_guest" flag for the scheduler
code, which then knows to add the tick to the guest time.  That seems
the simplest possible solution.

lguest or kvm would set the flag before running the guest (which is done
with preempt disabled or using preemption hooks), and reset it
afterwards.

Thoughts?
Rusty.

It was my first attempt (except I didn't have a per-cpu flag, but a per-task
flag), it's not visible but I love simplicity... ;-)

A KVM VCPU is stopped by preemption, so when we enter in scheduler we have
exited from VCPU and thus this flags is off (so we account 0 to the guest). What
I did then is "set the flag on when we enter in the VCPU, and
"account_system_time()" sets the flag off when it adds this timeslice to cpustat
(and compute correctly guest, user, system time). But I didn't like this idea
because all code executed after we entered in the VCPU is accounted to the guest
until we have an account_system_time() and I suppose we can have real system
time in this part. And I guess a VCPU can be less than 1 ms (unit of cputime) in
a timeslice.

So ? What's best ?

[PATCH/RFC 3/4, second shot]Introduce "account_guest_time"

[Laurent Vivier]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 432 bytes --]

This is another way to compute guest time... I remove the "account modifiers"
mechanism and call directly account_guest_time() from account_system_time().
account_system_time() computes user, system and guest times according value
accumulated in vtime (a ktime_t) in task_struct by the virtual machine.

Other way round.  In the patch that adds account_guest_time(), have a
CONFIG_GUEST_ACCOUNTING (defaulting to n, with no description, help, or
dependencies.  Then, CONFIG_KVM can select GUEST_ACCOUNTING.

The advantages of this are:
- the puppyvisor can also select this if it so wishes
- we don't have core code reference some obscure module

CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS does the same thing.

In order to reduce the impact on whatever function this is in (use diff
-p please), you can always have a definition of account_guest_time:

#else

static cputime_t account_guest_time(struct task_struct *p, cputime_t cputime)
{
        return cputime;
}

#endif


This way the #ifdef/#endif is not necessary when calling it.

The normal user/system accounting has the same issue, no?  Whereever we
happen to land (kernel or user) gets the whole tick.

So I think it is okay to have the same limitation for guest time.

If you look further, you will see, that this was actually rewritten in 2.6.12 
and thats why we have cputime_t. The infrastructure is currently only used by 
s390 and ppc64. On s390 we use our cpu timer to get the current time on each 
syscall/irq/context switch etc to get precise accounting data for 
system/user/irq/softirq/nice. We also get steal time (this is interesting for 
the guest: how much of my cpu was actually not available because the 
hypervisor scheduled me away). I dont know enough about other architectures  
to say which one could exploit this infrastructure as well.

The current git tree is somewhat broken for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING due to 
the accouting changes introduced by CFS - we work on this.

If you are interested in the cputime stuff, you can have a look at 
arch/s390/kernel/vtime.c (account_system_vtime, account_vtime) as well as:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=6be7071fdd321c206b1ee7a3e534782f25572830
for the first introduction and

for the s390 exploitation.

The sched.c parts are best merged by Ingo, and I can carry the kvm 
parts.  Alternatively, I can carry the entire patchset if Ingo acks it.

So this is how it looks like.
PATCH 1 and 2 are always a prerequisite.

Lost in the sea ...

Actually, I thought this modification is not enough expensive (in time and
space) to justify a CONFIG_*. But if you think so I can add this in init/Kconfig.

The difference between "convince everyone that it isn't expensive, 
including the embedded guys" and preemptively adding a config option can 
be quite large...

[PATCH/RFC 4/4]Modify KVM to use the "account modifiers"

[Laurent Vivier]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 339 bytes --]

[PATCH 4/4] Modify KVM to use the "account modifiers". KVM can now measure time
consumed by a Virtual Machine on a per-cpu basis and modify kernel statistics to
report this value.
