[PATCH v5] arch/powerpc/kvm: Add support for reading VPA counters for pseries guests

Gautam Menghani gautam at linux.ibm.com
Mon Apr 1 22:25:42 AEDT 2024


PAPR hypervisor has introduced three new counters in the VPA area of
LPAR CPUs for KVM L2 guest (see [1] for terminology) observability - 2
for context switches from host to guest and vice versa, and 1 counter
for getting the total time spent inside the KVM guest. Add a tracepoint
that enables reading the counters for use by ftrace/perf. Note that this
tracepoint is only available for nestedv2 API (i.e, KVM on PowerVM).

Also maintain an aggregation of the context switch times in vcpu->arch.
This will be useful in getting the aggregate times with a pmu driver
which will be upstreamed in the near future.

[1] Terminology:
a. L1 refers to the VM (LPAR) booted on top of PAPR hypervisor
b. L2 refers to the KVM guest booted on top of L1.
