In a virtualized environment, virtual machines will time share the system
with each other and with other processes running on the host system.
Therefore, a VM's virtual CPUs (VCPUs) will be executing on the host's
physical CPUs (pcpus) for only some portion of time.
The VMI exposes a paravirtual view of time to the guest operating systems
so that they may operate more effectively in a virtual environment. The
interface also provides a way for the VCPUs to set alarms in this
paravirtual view of time.
A VCPU is always in one of three states: running, halted, or ready. The
VCPU is in the 'running' state if it is executing. When the VCPU executes
the Halt interface, the VCPU enters the 'halted' state and remains halted
until there is some work pending for the VCPU (e.g. an alarm expires,
host I/O completes on behalf of virtual I/O). At this point, the VCPU
enters the 'ready' state (waiting for the hypervisor to reschedule it).
Finally, at any time when the VCPU is not in the 'running' state nor the
'halted' state, it is in the 'ready' state.
The VMI provides cycle counters for three time domains: real time, available
time and stolen time. Real time progresses when the VCPU is in the 'halted',
'ready' and 'running' states. Stolen time is defined per VCPU to progress at
the rate of real time when the VCPU is in the 'ready' state, and does not
progress otherwise. Available time is defined per VCPU to progress at the rate
of real time when the VCPU is in the 'running' and 'halted' states, and does
not progress when the VCPU is in the 'ready' state. Additionally, the
wallclock time is provided by the VMI. See the VMI specification for more
details.
This patch provides a Linux time source, the VMI Time device, that is
programmed against the cycle counters and alarms provided by the VMI. It is
used as the time source when the kernel detects the presence of a hypervisor.
Some noteworthy characteristics of the VMI Time device code are:
1) Cycle counter frequency is indicated by the VMI rather than needing to be
calculated by comparing the counter rate to a known interrupt rate.
On native hardware, the TSC frequency is calculated by comparing the rate
at which the TSC advances with the (known) rate of a timer interrupt.
This method for determining a cycle counter frequency is unreliable on
virtual hardware since the VCPU may be preempted by the hypervisor during
this calculation.
Instead, the VMI Time device determines the frequency of the VMI cycle
counters by querying the VMI.
2) The timer_irq_works() algorithm is problematic in a virtual environment for
various reasons, and is avoided. When running on a hypervisor, the kernel
can assume that the alarm will be wired up correctly to the interrupt
controller and this logic is avoided altogether.
3) Rather than keeping kernel time state (e.g. jiffies, xtime, time slices) up
to date by counting interrupts, the state is updated based on the values of
the VMI cycle counters.
Therefore, a VCPU only needs to receive timer interrupts while it is
running. This leads to better scaling of the number of virtual machines
that can be run on a single host.
4) As a consequence of #3, the interrupt rate of the alarm can be dropped
lower than HZ. It may be beneficial for the guest to request a lower
alarm rate to decrease the overhead of delivering virtual interrupts.
With #3, this is possible without changing the HZ constant (which is
important in order to allow for transparency with native hardware using
the normal HZ rate).
5) System wide time state (e.g. jiffies, xtime) is updated by all VCPUs.
With the native x86 timer interrupts, only the boot processor's PIT
interrupt updates jiffies and xtime. With the VMI Time device, jiffies
and xtime are updated by all the VCPUs of a VM. This is important since
the VCPUs may be independently scheduled. Also, it allows for a simpler
NO_IDLE_HZ implementation.
6) The xtime counter is kept up with the wallclock time.
7) The jiffies counter is kept up with the real time cycle counter.
8) Scheduler time slices and sched_clock() are kept up with the available
time cycle counter.
When using the VMI Time device as the time source, the scheduler runs
in available time. Otherwise, processes would be charged for time stolen
from the VCPU (time in which the VCPU isn't even running). The
scheduler_tick() interface is called only for every tick of available time.
Also, sched_clock() is implemented using the available time counter so that
the scheduler's calculations of a process' run-time does not charge stolen
time.
9) Stolen time is computed by the hypervisor, not the Linux guest.
Only the hypervisor can accurately compute stolen time. On some
hypervisors, stolen time is computed by the guest by subtracting the
amount of time a VCPU has run on a PCPU from the amount of real time
that has passed. Then, the routine account_steal_time() is used to
charge this time difference to
a) steal time, if the current process is not the idle process, or
b) idle time, if the current process is the idle process.
The problem with that calculation is that when a VCPU's halt ends,
it will not necessarily run immediately. Instead, it will be
transitioned from the 'halted' state to the 'ready' state (i.e. added
to the hypervisor's runqueue) until the hypervisor chooses to run it.
The time the VCPU is 'ready' is not idle time, but instead stolen time.
But, implementations using account_steal_time() will account all of this
time to idle time, rather than partitioning the time such that the time
spent in the 'halted' state is idle time and the time spent in the
'ready' state is stolen time.
Only the hypervisor can determine when the transition from 'halted' to
'ready' occurred (due to work becoming pending for the VCPU). So, the
VMI Time device queries the stolen time from the VMI rather than using
the faulty account_steal_time() algorithm.
