As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:

  Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
  a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
  grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
  even then you'll be missing some.

  For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
  early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
  mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
  using that to do the test.

Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.

So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.

There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).

However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds.  It's close to the noise though.

I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
need to interrupt the Guest.  This happens as a side effect of
spurious notifications.

Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.

A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one.  The console
input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
interrupts to the Guest at the right time.

The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.

In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
(1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
(2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into
host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main
Guest process (aka. the Launcher).
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
was simply too painful to bear).

The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.

Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
device again.

Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
interrupts in the Guest directly.

The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it
home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before:

	write(8, "\0", 1)       = 1
	sigreturn()             = ? (mask now [])
* Waker sees write on pipe:
	select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [6])

	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher exits from kernel:
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks to see what fd woke it:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [6], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads timeout fd, sets notification flag on xmit ring
	read(6, "\0", 32)       = 1

Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.

As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
main Launcher process.

1) j wasn't initialized in setup_pagetables, so they weren't set up for me
   causing immediate guest crashes.

2) gpte_addr should not re-read the pmd from the Guest.  Especially
   not BUG_ON() based on the value.  If we ever supported SMP guests,
   they could trigger that.  And the Launcher could also trigger it
   (tho currently root-only).

The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of
bytes *written* to the buffer.  This means the guest doesn't have to
zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length.

Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length
*read* into that field.  The guest ignores it, but it's wrong.

18 months ago 5bbf89fc changed to loading
bzImages directly, and no longer manually ungzipping them, so we no longer
need libz.

Also, -m32 is useful for those on 64-bit platforms (and harmless on
32-bit).

The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers.  In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.

The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked.  However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!

Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.

But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

20887611 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced
lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on
interrupts all the time.

Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0
when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from
the Guest.

It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue:
if it's empty, then we force an interrupt.

This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but
that's the subject of another patch.

The Launcher could be inside the Guest on another CPU; wake_up_process
will do nothing because it is "running".  kick_process will knock it
back into our kernel in this case, otherwise we'll miss it until the
next guest exit.
