Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] KVM: s390: add counters for vsie performance
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2023 11:32:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231009093304.2555344-1-nrb@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
v4:
---
* fix indent in tracepoint (thanks Janosch)
v3:
---
* rename te -> entry (David)
* add counters for gmap reuse and gmap create (David)
v2:
---
* also count shadowing of pages (Janosch)
* fix naming of counters (Janosch)
* mention shadowing of multiple levels is counted in each level (Claudio)
* fix inaccuate commit description regarding gmap notifier (Claudio)
When running a guest-3 via VSIE, guest-1 needs to shadow the page table
structures of guest-2.
To reflect changes of the guest-2 in the _shadowed_ page table structures,
the _shadowing_ sturctures sometimes need to be rebuilt. Since this is a
costly operation, it should be avoided whenever possible.
This series adds kvm stat counters to count the number of shadow gmaps
created and a tracepoint whenever something is unshadowed. This is a first
step to try and improve VSIE performance.
Please note that "KVM: s390: add tracepoint in gmap notifier" has some
checkpatch --strict findings. I did not fix these since the tracepoint
definition would then look completely different from all the other
tracepoints in arch/s390/kvm/trace-s390.h. If you want me to fix that,
please let me know.
