[PATCH v4 0/2] arm/arm64: KVM: Optimize arm64 fp/simd, saves 30-50% on exits

[Mario Smarduch]

Currently we save/restore fp/simd on each exit. The first patch optimizes arm64
save/restore, we only do so on Guest access. hackbench and several lmbench
tests show anywhere from 30% to 50% of exits don't context switch the vfp/simd
registers.

For second patch 32-bit handler is updated to keep exit handling consistent
with 64-bit code.

Changes since v3:
- Per Christoffers comment - changed comment for skip fp/simd in patch 1/2
- Changed cover text, clarify optimization in the context of this patch 

Changes since v2:
- Only for patch 2/2
  - Removed load_vcpu in switch_to_guest_vfp per Marcs comment
  - Got another chance to replace an unreferenced label with a comment

Changes since v1:
- only for patch 2/2
  - Reworked trapping to vfp access handler

Changes since inital version:
- Addressed Marcs comments
- Verified optimization improvements with lmbench and hackbench, updated
  commit message


Mario Smarduch (2):
  Optimize arm64 skip 30-50% vfp/simd save/restore on exits
  keep arm vfp/simd exit handling consistent with arm64

[PATCH v4 1/2] arm64: KVM: Optimize arm64 skip 30-50% vfp/simd save/restore on exits

[Mario Smarduch]

This patch only saves and restores FP/SIMD registers on Guest access. To do
this cptr_el2 FP/SIMD trap is set on Guest entry and later checked on exit.
lmbench, hackbench show significant improvements, for 30-50% exits FP/SIMD
context is not saved/restored

So this patch seems to break 32bit guests on arm64.  I've had a look,
squashed a few bugs that I dangerously overlooked during the review, but
it still doesn't work (it doesn't crash anymore, but I get random
illegal VFP instructions in 32bit guests).

I'd be glad if someone could eyeball the following patch and tell me
what's going wrong. If we don't find the root cause quickly enough, I'll
have to drop the series from -next, and that'd be a real shame.

Thanks,

	M.

    KVM: arm64: NOTAFIX: Prevent crash when 32bit guest uses VFP

    Since we switch FPSIMD in a lazy way, access to FPEXC32_EL2
    must be guarded by skip_fpsimd_state. Otherwise, all hell
    break loose.

    Also, FPEXC32_EL2 must be restored when we trap to EL2 to
    enable floating point.

    Note that while it prevents the host from catching fire, the
    guest still doesn't work properly, and I don't understand why just
    yet.

wait, it looks like you're missing a store of the host fpsimd state in
the switch_to_guest_fpsimd situation.

It think this would be easier to follow if the aarch32 FP registers were
handled as part of the __save_fpsimd  and __restore_fpsimd routines
instead.


Does this help anything?

Otherwise, I assume you've tested thoroughly between something like
v4.2-rc2 and this patch, so that you're sure we didn't have the 32-bit
processed crash before?

Thanks,

Yeah, the FP architecture has all kind of nasty tricks like this.

A store of FPEXC32_EL2 for the host? No, this register has no
significance whatsoever for a 64bit host. Its sole purpose is to
accommodate a 32bit guest (see D7.2.31). Or are you thinking of
something else?

Maybe. This code needs some rework...

Not really, sorry... :-(

Without the lazy switching, we seem to be rock solid. With lazy
switching, I get these illegal instructions, always on VFP ops. My
current thinking is that it has something to do with CPACR_EL1, and the
fact that the 32bit kernel turns it VFP on/off all the time.

FWIW, I've added these patches to both -queue and -next, and from the
tests Christoffer has run, it looks pretty good.

[PATCH v4 2/2] arm: KVM: keep arm vfp/simd exit handling consistent with arm64

[Mario Smarduch]

After enhancing arm64 FP/SIMD exit handling, ARMv7 VFP exit branch is moved
to guest trap handling. This allows us to keep exit handling flow between both
architectures consistent.
