Changelogs: v1->v2: - rebased on top of mainline v5.12-rc2 - also move CMOs of I-cache to the fault handlers - merge patch 2 and patch 3 together - retest this v2 series based on v5.12-rc2 - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210208112250.163568-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com/ About patch 1: We currently uniformly perform CMOs of D-cache and I-cache in user_mem_abort() before calling the fault handlers. If we get concurrent translation faults on the same IPA (page or block), CMOs for the first time is necessary while the others later are not. By moving CMOs to the fault handlers, we can easily identify conditions where they are really needed and avoid the unnecessary ones. As it's a time consuming process to perform CMOs especially when flushing a block range, so this solution reduces much load of kvm and improve efficiency of the stage2 page table code. So let's move both clean of D-cache and invalidation of I-cache to the map path and move only invalidation of I-cache to the permission path. Since the original APIs for CMOs in mmu.c are only called in function user_mem_abort(), we now also move them to pgtable.c. The following results represent the benefit of patch 1 alone, and they were tested by [1](kvm/selftest) that I have posted recently.

So the other vcpus have a really big chance to trigger unnecessary translations if they access any page within the block and find the table entry invalid. So let's quickly install the block entry at first to ensure uninterrupted memory access of the other vcpus, and then unmap the page mappings after installation. This will reduce most of the time when the table entry is invalid, and avoid most of the unnecessary translation faults. After this patch the steps can be like: 1) invalidate the table entry in the PMD/PUD table 2) flush TLB by VMID 3) install the new block entry to the PMD/PUD table 4) unmap the old sub-level tables As this patch only affects the rebuilding of block mappings, so we can test the execution time of KVM rebuilding the blocks after they have been split. hardware platform: HiSilicon Kunpeng920 Server host kernel: Linux mainline v5.12-rc2 cmdline: ./kvm_page_table_test -m 4 -s anonymous_thp -b 20G -v 20 (20 vcpus, 20G memory, block mappings(THP 2M)) KVM_REBUILD_BLOCKS: before 73.64s -> after 57.75s +21.58% cmdline: ./kvm_page_table_test -m 4 -s anonymous_thp -b 20G -v 40 (40 vcpus, 20G memory, block mappings(THP 2M)) KVM_REBUILD_BLOCKS: before 145.4s -> after 130.8s +10.62% cmdline: ./kvm_page_table_test -m 4 -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -b 1G -v 80 (80 vcpus, 1G memory, block mappings(HUGETLB 1G)) KVM_REBUILD_BLOCKS: before 0.166s -> after 0.035s +78.92% cmdline: ./kvm_page_table_test -m 4 -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -b 20G -v 20 (20 vcpus, 20G memory, block mappings(HUGETLB 1G)) KVM_REBUILD_BLOCKS: before 2.875s -> after 0.282s +90.20% cmdline: ./kvm_page_table_test -m 4 -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -b 20G -v 40 (40 vcpus, 20G memory, block mappings(HUGETLB 1G)) KVM_REBUILD_BLOCKS: before 2.965s -> after 0.359s +87.55% About patch 3: A new method to distinguish cases of memcache allocations is introduced.
