Commit Message

Jürgen Groß May 28, 2019, 10:32 a.m. UTC
When scheduling an unit with multiple vcpus there is no guarantee all
vcpus are available (e.g. above maxvcpus or vcpu offline). Fall back to
idle vcpu of the current cpu in that case. This requires to store the
correct schedule_unit pointer in the idle vcpu as long as it used as
fallback vcpu.

In order to modify the runstates of the correct vcpus when switching
schedule units merge sched_unit_runstate_change() into
sched_switch_units() and loop over the affected physical cpus instead
of the unit's vcpus. This in turn requires an access function to the
current variable of other cpus.

Today context_saved() is called in case previous and next vcpus differ
when doing a context switch. With an idle vcpu being capable to be a
substitute for an offline vcpu this is problematic when switching to
an idle scheduling unit. An idle previous vcpu leaves us in doubt which
schedule unit was active previously, so save the previous unit pointer
in the per-schedule resource area and use its value being non-NULL as
a hint whether context_saved() should be called.

When running an idle vcpu in a non-idle scheduling unit use a specific
guest idle loop not performing any tasklets, memory scrubbing and
livepatching in order to avoid populating the cpu caches with memory
used by other domains (as far as possible). Softirqs are considered to
be save (timers might want to be excluded, but this can be fine-tuned
later).
