[PATCH 00/12] KVM: PPC: Nested APIv2 : Performance improvements

2023-12-01 Thread Vaibhav Jain
From: vaibhav 


This patch series introduces series of performance improvements to recently
added support for Nested APIv2 PPC64 Guests via [1]. Details for Nested
APIv2 for PPC64 Guests is available in Documentation/powerpc/kvm-nested.rst.

This patch series introduces various optimizations for a Nested APIv2
guests namely:

* Reduce the number times L1 hypervisor requests for L2 state from L0.
* Register the L2 VPA with L1
* Optimizing interrupt delivery of some interrupt types.
* Optimize emulation of mmio loads/stores for L2 in L1.

The hcalls needed for testing these patches have been implemented in the
spapr qemu model and is available at [2].

There are scripts available to assist in setting up an environment for
testing nested guests at [3].

These patches are consequence of insights from on going performance
engineering effort for improving performance of Nested APIv2
Guests. Special thanks goes to:
* Gautam Menghani
* Jordan Niethe
* Nicholas Piggin
* Vaidyanathan Srinivasan
