From 3b8a5df6c4dc6df2ab17d099fb157032f80bdca2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2018 09:02:08 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: LAPIC: Tune lapic_timer_advance_ns automatically MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In cloud environment, lapic_timer_advance_ns is needed to be tuned for every CPU generations, and every host kernel versions(the kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency.flat is 5700 cycles for upstream kernel and 9600 cycles for our 3.10 product kernel, both preemption_timer=N, Skylake server). This patch adds the capability to automatically tune lapic_timer_advance_ns step by step, the initial value is 1000ns as 'commit d0659d946be0 ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration")' recommended, it will be reduced when it is too early, and increased when it is too late. The guest_tsc and tsc_deadline are hard to equal, so we assume we are done when the delta is within a small scope e.g. 100 cycles. This patch reduces latency (kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency, busy waits, preemption_timer enabled) from ~2600 cyles to ~1200 cyles on our Skylake server.
