Subject: [PATCH 5/5] KVM: x86: Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exits
Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2024 12:51:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240802195120.325560-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240802195120.325560-1-seanjc@google.com>
Add a fastpath for HLT VM-Exits by immediately re-entering the guest if
it has a pending wake event. When virtual interrupt delivery is enabled,
i.e. when KVM doesn't need to manually inject interrupts, this allows KVM
to stay in the fastpath run loop when a vIRQ arrives between the guest
doing CLI and STI;HLT. Without AMD's Idle HLT-intercept support, the CPU
generates a HLT VM-Exit even though KVM will immediately resume the guest.
Note, on bare metal, it's relatively uncommon for a modern guest kernel to
actually trigger this scenario, as the window between the guest checking
for a wake event and committing to HLT is quite small. But in a nested
environment, the timings change significantly, e.g. rudimentary testing
showed that ~50% of HLT exits where HLT-polling was successful would be
serviced by this fastpath, i.e. ~50% of the time that a nested vCPU gets
a wake event before KVM schedules out the vCPU, the wake event was pending
even before the VM-Exit.
