Subject: [Patch v2 0/4] Defer page pinning for SEV guests until guest pages touched
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2020 10:17:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200819151742.7892-1-Eric.VanTassell@amd.com> (raw)

Overview
========
	Defer pinning of the guest's pages until nested page faults occur
	to improve startup time and reduce memory pressure for SEV guests.

	Cease paying the computational cost of pinning all pages when an
	encrypted region is registered, before it is known if they will be accessed.

	Cease creating the memory pressure due to  pinning all pages when an
	encrypted region is registered before, it is known if they will be accessed.

Timing Results
==========
All timings are done by hand with and Android stopwatch app

SEV guest size(GiB)  	     |  4 |  8 | 16 | 32 | 60 |
without patch series(sec)    |  2 |  3 |  4 |  8 | 14 |
with patch series (sec)      |  1 |  1 |  1 |  1 |  1 |

Patch Series Changelog
==============
	1 -> 2:
		* mmio checks move from sev_pin_page() to caller and the
		  set_spte_notify* symbols are renamed to pin_page().

		* sev_get_page() warns on failures which should not happen.
		
		* kvm->srcu is used to avoid any possibility of a race in
		  sev_launch_update_data()
