Subject: [PATCH v3 4/9] x86/kvm/mmu: introduce guest_mmu
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 16:20:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181001142010.21132-5-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181001142010.21132-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
When EPT is used for nested guest we need to re-init MMU as shadow
EPT MMU (nested_ept_init_mmu_context() does that). When we return back
from L2 to L1 kvm_mmu_reset_context() in nested_vmx_load_cr3() resets
MMU back to normal TDP mode. Add a special 'guest_mmu' so we can use
separate root caches; the improved hit rate is not very important for
single vCPU performance, but it avoids contention on the mmu_lock for
many vCPUs.
On the nested CPUID benchmark, with 16 vCPUs, an L2->L1->L2 vmexit
goes from 42k to 26k cycles.

Changes since v2:
- move kvm_mmu_free_roots() call to nested_release_vmcs12().
[Sean Christopherson]
- in kvm_calc_shadow_ept_root_page_role() we need to inherit role
from root_mmu so fields like .smap_andnot_wp, .smep_andnot_wp, ...
remain correctly initialized [pointed out by Sean Christopherson]
