2019-07-20KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted interruptWanpeng Li1-0/+6
Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled. In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts, which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires. The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping. If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode, ~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially.

2018-02-21sched/isolation: Isolate workqueues when "nohz_full=" is setFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
As we prepare for offloading the residual 1hz scheduler ticks to workqueue, let's affine those to housekeepers so that they don't interrupt the CPUs that don't want to be disturbed.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Move isolcpus= handling to the housekeeping codeFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
We want to centralize the isolation features, to be done by the housekeeping subsystem and scheduler domain isolation is a significant part of it. No intended behaviour change, we just reuse the housekeeping cpumask and core code.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameterFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
We want to centralize the isolation management, done by the housekeeping subsystem. Therefore we need to handle the nohz_full= parameter from there. Since nohz_full= so far has involved unbound timers, watchdog, RCU and tilegx NAPI isolation, we keep that default behaviour. nohz_full= will be deprecated in the future. We want to control the isolation features from the isolcpus= parameter.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Introduce housekeeping flagsFrederic Weisbecker1-9/+17
Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler isolation without NOHZ_FULL. So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they always make sense together.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Split out new CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y config from ↵Frederic Weisbecker1-3/+3
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL Split the housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally separate the isolation code from NOHZ. Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now, while the housekeeping code still deals with NOHZ internals.

2017-10-27sched/isolation: Use its own static keyFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+2
Housekeeping code still depends on the nohz_full static key. Since we want to decouple housekeeping from NOHZ, let's create a housekeeping specific static key. It's mostly relevant for calls to is_housekeeping_cpu() from the scheduler.
