[PATCH 0/3] KVM: s390: Use generic VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK entry helpers
Posted by Andrew Donnellan 6 days, 15 hours ago
This series enables VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK on s390.

This requires:

  1) adding a signal_exits stats counter, which is used by
     kvm_handle_signal_exit()
  2) moving the point where interrupts are enabled and disabled in the
     guest entry path, so that interrupts aren't enabled until after the
     __TI_sie flag is set
  3) enabling VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK and adding the appropriate calls to
     check for and handle outstanding work in __vcpu_run() and the VSIE
     path.

With this series applied, the kvm-unit-tests suite passes on both the host
and an L1 guest with nested KVM enabled, and benchmarks done using the
exittime tests from kvm-unit-tests show that the impact on entry path
performance is generally small enough to be noise (in my tests, around
+/-3%, running directly in an LPAR and in a L1 KVM guest).

Thanks to Heiko for feedback and guidance on this.
