Now that we can save/restore the full SPE controls, we can enable it
if SPE is setup and ready to use in KVM. It's supported in KVM only if
all the CPUs in the system supports SPE.

However to support heterogenous systems, we need to move the check if
host supports SPE and do a partial save/restore.

No. Let's just not go down that path. For now, KVM on heterogeneous
systems do not get SPE. If SPE has been enabled on a guest and a CPU
comes up without SPE, this CPU should fail to boot (same as exposing a
feature to userspace).

So you now do an unconditional save/restore on the exit path for VHE as
well? Even if the host isn't using the SPE HW? That's not acceptable
as, in most cases, only the host /or/ the guest will use SPE. Here, you
put a measurable overhead on each exit.

If the host is not using SPE, then the restore/save should happen in
vcpu_load/vcpu_put. Only if the host is using SPE should you do
something in the run loop. Of course, this only applies to VHE and
non-VHE must switch eagerly.

On VHE where SPE is used in the guest only - we save/restore in vcpu_load/put.

On VHE where SPE is used in the host only - we save/restore in the run loop.

On VHE where SPE is used in guest and host - we save/restore in the run loop.

As the guest can't trace EL2 it doesn't matter if we restore guest SPE early
in the vcpu_load/put functions. (I assume it doesn't matter that we restore
an EL0/EL1 profiling buffer address at this point and enable tracing given
that there is nothing to trace until entering the guest).

However the reason for moving save/restore to vcpu_load/put when the host is
using SPE is to minimise the host EL2 black-out window.


On nVHE we always save/restore in the run loop. For the SPE guest-use-only
use-case we can't save/restore in vcpu_load/put - because the guest runs at
the same ELx level as the host - and thus doing so would result in the guest
tracing part of the host.

Though if we determine that (for nVHE systems) the guest SPE is profiling only
EL0 - then we could also save/restore in vcpu_load/put where SPE is only being
used in the guest.

Does that make sense, are my reasons correct?

Thanks,

Andrew Murray
