From 0eaeafa10f3b2bd027e95859a6785d4c7fcc174c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 09:22:53 +0200 Subject: [S390] s390-kvm: leave sie context on work. Removes preemption requirement From: Martin Schwidefsky This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called vcpu_load, which checked for pending signals and triggered a host intercept. But even with preemption, a sigkill was not delivered immediately. This patch changes the low level host interrupt handler to check for the SIE instruction, if TIF_WORK is set. In that case we change the instruction pointer of the return PSW to rerun the vcpu_run loop. The kvm code sees an intercept reason 0 if that happens. This patch adds accounting for these types of intercept as well. The advantages: - works with and without preemption - signals are delivered immediately - much better host latencies without preemption Acked-by: Carsten Otte Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky --- arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig | 1 - arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c | 3 +++ arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c | 5 +---- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/s390/kvm') diff --git a/arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig b/arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig index 1761b74d639b..e051cad1f1e0 100644 --- a/arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig @@ -22,7 +22,6 @@ config KVM select PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS select ANON_INODES select S390_SWITCH_AMODE - select PREEMPT ---help--- Support hosting paravirtualized guest machines using the SIE virtualization capability on the mainframe.
