And validation considerations would push for keeping the number of possible combinations low, while paranoia about added feature would push for having it be separately enabled. And if distros are going to enable this at build time, we either need -serious- validation or a way to disable at boot time. On the desired/required combinations of features, let's see... If I understand this completely, which I probably don't, we have the following considerations: o NO_HZ_FULL: Needed to get rid of the scheduling-clock interrupt during guest execution, though I am not sure whether we really have that completely wired up with this patch set. Regardless, Rik, for your use case, do you care about whether or not the guest gets interrupted by the host's scheduling-clock interrupts? (Based on discussion in this thread, my guess is "yes".) o RCU_NOCB_CPUS: Implied by NO_HZ_FULL, but only on CPUs actually enabled for NO_HZ_FULL operation, either by NO_HZ_FULL_ALL at build time or by nohz_full= at boot time. Needed to avoid interrupting the guest with host RCU callback invocation. Rik, does your use case care about guests being interrupted by RCU callback invocation? (Based on discussion in this thread, my guess is "yes".) o RCU_USER_EQS: Implied by NO_HZ_FULL, and I would have to go look to see what relation this has to nohz_full=. Needed for RCU to be able to recognize userspace-execution quiescent states on a given CPU without disturbing that CPU. Unless I am missing something subtle, you have to have this for this patch series to make sense. If my guesses are correct, the best approach would be to have this new mode of operation implied by NO_HZ_FULL. The patches seem simple enough that killer validation should be practical, which would avoid further complication of the Kconfig combinatorial space. So, are my guesses correct?

Of course, if Frederic would rather push them himself, I am fine with that.

I didn't think about that. Ok then a real IN_GUEST mode makes sense. And context_tracking_user_enter/exit() can be reused as is indeed. Just a few things then: 1) In this case rename context_tracking_user_enter/exit() to context_tracking_enter() and context_tracking_exit(), since it's not anymore about user only but about any generic context. 2) We have the "WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->mm);" condition that is a debug check specific to userspace transitions because kernel threads aren't expected to resume to userspace. Can we also expect that we never switch to/from guest from a kernel thread? AFAICS this happens from an ioctl (thus user task) in x86 for kvm. But I only know this case. 3) You might want to update a few comments that assume we only deal with userspace transitions. 4) trace_user_enter/exit() should stay user-transitions specific.

I would still have to modify exception_enter and exception_exit, and with them context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit. We have to re-enable RCU when an exception happens. I suspect exceptions in a guest just trigger VMEXIT, and we figure later why the exception happened. However, if we were to get an exception during the code where we transition into or out of guest mode, we would still need exception_enter and exception_exit... - -- All rights reversed -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJU1Q1MAAoJEM553pKExN6DB90H/iVCnfrooAB15E5Qioa3Ty+X hNMaIMX6zjYg++IFR5BhYLp9hp36o/98sv8RLTjZQix2q1ljivobmbABvx2MBNhx NiPfU9DyBkhz3gwI4oTkggb383Wrcyt+RgvclI/96AbwkhrdzxmT1nnUc0kA98xC 6NTW2+imkYX31sY/2SFmYWnJMVZOjOIep3LCVh/hrWnQARd6mdyzzFr+v6Z/vyFe 8P2rbqlkN0nf1pGYz3VF6zqF8wVmOi1mx4mo0qy80Sax7jsZv9+gGfbF1HkHJnjg FLsj/q/mcrH1GBK54a3s3P6ghpcFXfwibjhkGmrmA07XNHqLiNgKgmgPtArhU+s= =9Ln1 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

If no one else does, I would be happy to. I would be thinking in terms
of 3.21, in other words, not the merge window starting in three days,
but the one after that.

I didn't think about that. Ok then a real IN_GUEST mode makes sense. And context_tracking_user_enter/exit() can be reused as is indeed. Just a few things then: 1) In this case rename context_tracking_user_enter/exit() to context_tracking_enter() and context_tracking_exit(), since it's not anymore about user only but about any generic context. 2) We have the WARN_ON_ONCE(!current-mm); condition that is a debug check specific to userspace transitions because kernel threads aren't expected to resume to userspace. Can we also expect that we never switch to/from guest from a kernel thread? AFAICS this happens from an ioctl (thus user task) in x86 for kvm. But I only know this case. 3) You might want to update a few comments that assume we only deal with userspace transitions. 4) trace_user_enter/exit() should stay user-transitions specific.

[PATCH 1/5] rcu,nohz: add state parameter to context_tracking_user_enter/exit
From: Rik van Riel
Add the expected ctx_state as a parameter to context_tracking_user_enter
and context_tracking_user_exit, allowing the same functions to not just
track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions.
