In order to let make the GICv2 code more lazy in the way it accesses the LRs, it is necessary to start with a clean slate. Let's reset the LRs on each CPU when the vgic is probed. Reviewed-by:

On exit, any empty LR will be signaled in GICH_ELRSR*. Which means that we do not have to save it, and we can just clear its state in the in-memory copy. Take this opportunity to move the LR saving code into its own function. Reviewed-by:

In order to make the saving path slightly more readable and prepare for some more optimizations, let's move the GICH_ELRSR saving to its own function. No functional change. Reviewed-by:

Next on our list of useless accesses is the maintenance interrupt status registers (GICH_MISR, GICH_EISR{0,1}). It is pointless to save them if we haven't asked for a maintenance interrupt the first place, which can only happen for two reasons: - Underflow: GICH_HCR_UIE will be set, - EOI: GICH_LR_EOI will be set. These conditions can be checked on the in-memory copies of the regs. Should any of these two condition be valid, we must read GICH_MISR. We can then check for GICH_MISR_EOI, and only when set read GICH_EISR*. This means that in most case, we don't have to save them at all. Reviewed-by: -

GICv2 registers are *slow*. As in "terrifyingly slow". Which is bad. But we're equaly bad, as we make a point in accessing them even if we don't have any interrupt in flight. A good solution is to first find out if we have anything useful to write into the GIC, and if we don't, to simply not do it. This involves tracking which LRs actually have something valid there.

Programming the active state in the (re)distributor can be an expensive operation so it makes some sense to try and reduce the number of accesses as much as possible. So far, we program the active state on each VM entry, but there is some opportunity to do less. An obvious solution is to cache the active state in memory, and only program it in the HW when conditions change. But because the HW can also change things under our feet (the active state can transition from 1 to 0 when the guest does an EOI), some precautions have to be taken, which amount to only caching an "inactive" state, and always programing it otherwise. With this in place, we observe a reduction of around 700 cycles on a 2GHz GICv2 platform for a NULL hypercall. Reviewed-by:

Doing a linear search is a bit silly when we can do a binary search. Not that we trap that so many things that it has become a burden yet, but it makes sense to align it with the arm64 code. Reviewed-by:

Since we're obviously terrible at sorting the CP tables, make sure we're going to do it properly (or fail to boot). arm64 has had the same mechanism for a while, and nobody ever broke it... Reviewed-by:

Not having the invariant table properly sorted is an oddity, and may get in the way of future optimisations. Let's fix it. Reviewed-by:

Our 64bit sys_reg table is about 90 entries long (so far, and the PMU support is likely to increase this). This means that on average, it takes 45 comparaisons to find the right entry (and actually the full 90 if we have to search the invariant table). Not the most efficient thing. Specially when you think that this table is already sorted. Switching to a binary search effectively reduces the search to about 7 comparaisons. Slightly better! As an added bonus, the comparison is done by comparing all the fields at once, instead of one at a time. Reviewed-by:

To configure the virtual PMUv3 overflow interrupt number, we use the vcpu kvm_device ioctl, encapsulating the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ attribute within the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL group. After configuring the PMUv3, call the vcpu ioctl with attribute KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT to initialize the PMUv3. Signed-off-by:

When calling perf_event_create_kernel_counter to create perf_event, assign a overflow handler. Then when the perf event overflows, set the corresponding bit of guest PMOVSSET register. If this counter is enabled and its interrupt is enabled as well, kick the vcpu to sync the interrupt. On VM entry, if there is counter overflowed and interrupt level is changed, inject the interrupt with corresponding level. On VM exit, sync the interrupt level as well if it has been changed.

This register resets as unknown in 64bit mode while it resets as zero in 32bit mode. Here we choose to reset it as zero for consistency. PMUSERENR_EL0 holds some bits which decide whether PMU registers can be accessed from EL0. Add some check helpers to handle the access from EL0. When these bits are zero, only reading PMUSERENR will trap to EL2 and writing PMUSERENR or reading/writing other PMU registers will trap to EL1 other than EL2 when HCR.TGE==0. To current KVM configuration (HCR.TGE==0) there is no way to get these traps. Here we write 0xf to physical PMUSERENR register on VM entry, so that it will trap PMU access from EL0 to EL2. Within the register access handler we check the real value of guest PMUSERENR register to decide whether this access is allowed. If not allowed, return false to inject UND to guest. Signed-off-by:

When we use tools like perf on host, perf passes the event type and the id of this event type category to kernel, then kernel will map them to hardware event number and write this number to PMU PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0 register.

Here we plan to support virtual PMU for guest by full software emulation, so define some basic structs and functions preparing for futher steps. Define struct kvm_pmc for performance monitor counter and struct kvm_pmu for performance monitor unit for each vcpu.
