[PATCH v7] arch/powerpc/kvm: Add support for reading VPA counters for pseries guests

Tue May 7 21:43:48 AEST 2024


PAPR hypervisor has introduced three new counters in the VPA area of
LPAR CPUs for KVM L2 guest (see [1] for terminology) observability - 2
for context switches from host to guest and vice versa, and 1 counter
for getting the total time spent inside the KVM guest. Add a tracepoint
that enables reading the counters for use by ftrace/perf. Note that this
tracepoint is only available for nestedv2 API (i.e, KVM on PowerVM).

[1] Terminology:
a. L1 refers to the VM (LPAR) booted on top of PAPR hypervisor
b. L2 refers to the KVM guest booted on top of L1.

v6 -> v7:
1. Use TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND to handle zero counters case.
2. Use for_each_present_cpu() to handle hotplugs.

v5 -> v6:
1. Use TRACE_EVENT_FN to enable/disable counters only once.
2. Remove the agg. counters from vcpu->arch.
3. Use PACA to maintain old counter values instead of zeroing on every
entry.
4. Simplify variable names

v4 -> v5:
1. Define helper functions for getting/setting the accumulation counter
in L2's VPA

v3 -> v4:
1. After vcpu_run, check the VPA flag instead of checking for tracepoint
being enabled for disabling the cs time accumulation.

v2 -> v3:
1. Move the counter disabling and zeroing code to a different function.
2. Move the get_lppaca() inside the tracepoint_enabled() branch.
3. Add the aggregation logic to maintain total context switch time.

v1 -> v2:
1. Fix the build error due to invalid struct member reference.
