2014-11-03softmmu: provide softmmu access type enumLeon Alrae1-10/+16
New MIPS features depend on the access type and enum is more convenient than using the numbers directly. Signed-off-by: Leon Alrae <leon.alrae@imgtec.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2014-09-01implementing victim TLB for QEMU system emulated TLBXin Tong1-4/+39
QEMU system mode page table walks are expensive. Taken by running QEMU qemu-system-x86_64 system mode on Intel PIN , a TLB miss and walking a 4-level page tables in guest Linux OS takes ~450 X86 instructions on average. QEMU system mode TLB is implemented using a directly-mapped hashtable. This structure suffers from conflict misses. Increasing the associativity of the TLB may not be the solution to conflict misses as all the ways may have to be walked in serial. A victim TLB is a TLB used to hold translations evicted from the primary TLB upon replacement. The victim TLB lies between the main TLB and its refill path. Victim TLB is of greater associativity (fully associative in this patch). It takes longer to lookup the victim TLB, but its likely better than a full page table walk. The memory translation path is changed as follows : Before Victim TLB: 1. Inline TLB lookup 2. Exit code cache on TLB miss. 3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses 4. TLB refill. 5. Do the memory access. 6. Return to code cache. After Victim TLB: 1. Inline TLB lookup 2. Exit code cache on TLB miss. 3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses 4. Victim TLB lookup. 5. If victim TLB misses, TLB refill 6. Do the memory access. 7. Return to code cache The advantage is that victim TLB can offer more associativity to a directly mapped TLB and thus potentially fewer page table walks while still keeping the time taken to flush within reasonable limits. However, placing a victim TLB before the refill path increase TLB refill path as the victim TLB is consulted before the TLB refill. The performance results demonstrate that the pros outweigh the cons. some performance results taken on SPECINT2006 train datasets and kernel boot and qemu configure script on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz Linux machine are shown in the Google Doc link below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eiItzekZwNQOal_h-5iJmC4tMDi051m9qidi5_nwvH4/edit?usp=sharing In summary, victim TLB improves the performance of qemu-system-x86_64 by 11% on average on SPECINT2006, kernelboot and qemu configscript and with highest improvement of in 26% in 456.hmmer. And victim TLB does not result in any performance degradation in any of the measured benchmarks. Furthermore, the implemented victim TLB is architecture independent and is expected to benefit other architectures in QEMU as well. Although there are measurement fluctuations, the performance improvement is very significant and by no means in the range of noises.

2010-04-05Split TLB addend and target_phys_addr_tPaul Brook1-12/+16
Historically the qemu tlb "addend" field was used for both RAM and IO accesses, so needed to be able to hold both host addresses (unsigned long) and guest physical addresses (target_phys_addr_t). However since the introduction of the iotlb field it has only been used for RAM accesses. This means we can change the type of addend to unsigned long, and remove associated hacks in the big-endian TCG backends. We can also remove the host dependence from target_phys_addr_t.

2009-08-24Unbreak large mem support by removing kqemuAnthony Liguori1-6/+0
kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that it prevents large memory from working in the default build. Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely limits the utility of kqemu. kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm happy to avoid and/or revert this patch. N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from the 0.12 series. Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
