[PATCH v2] kvm: Replace vcpu->swait with rcuwait

Davidlohr Bueso
2020-04-20T16:45:05Z

The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for
wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically
wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is
only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of
queue.

As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with the following
considerations:

- rcuwait already provides the proper barriers that serialize
concurrent waiter and waker.

- Task wakeup is done in rcu read critical region, with a
stable task pointer.

- Because there is no concurrency among waiters, we need
not worry about rcuwait_wait_event() calls corrupting
the wait->task. As a consequence, this saves the locking
done in swait when modifying the queue. This also applies
to per-vcore wait for powerpc kvm-hv.

The x86-tscdeadline_latency test mentioned in 8577370fb0cb
("KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq") shows that, on avg,
latency is reduced by around 15-20% with this change.

This patch also changes TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE for TASK_IDLE, as
kvm is (ab)using the former such that idle vcpus do no contribute
to the loadavg. Let use the correct semantics for this.

v2: Added missing semicolon in mips change.

The rest of the patches in this series continues to apply on tip,
as such I am only sending a v2 for this particular patch.
