This test serves as a performance tester and a bug reproducer for
kvm page table code (GPA->HPA mappings), so it gives guidance for
people trying to make some improvement for kvm.
The function guest_code() is designed to cover conditions where a single vcpu
or multiple vcpus access guest pages within the same memory range, in three
VM stages(before dirty-logging, during dirty-logging, after dirty-logging).
Besides, the backing source memory type(ANONYMOUS/THP/HUGETLB) of the tested
memory region can be specified by users, which means normal page mappings or
block mappings can be chosen by users to be created in the test.
If use of ANONYMOUS memory is specified, kvm will create page mappings for the
tested memory region before dirty-logging, and update attributes of the page
mappings from RO to RW during dirty-logging. If use of THP/HUGETLB memory is
specified, kvm will create block mappings for the tested memory region before
dirty-logging, and split the blcok mappings into page mappings during
dirty-logging, and coalesce the page mappings back into block mappings after
dirty-logging is stopped.
So in summary, as a performance tester, this test can present the performance
of kvm creating/updating normal page mappings, or the performance of kvm
creating/splitting/recovering block mappings, through execution time.
When we need to coalesce the page mappings back to block mappings after dirty
logging is stopped, we have to firstly invalidate *all* the TLB entries for the
page mappings right before installation of the block entry, because a TLB conflict
abort error could occur if we can't invalidate the TLB entries fully. We have
hit this TLB conflict twice on aarch64 software implementation and fixed it.
As this test can imulate process from dirty-logging enabled to dirty-logging
stopped of a VM with block mappings, so it can also reproduce this TLB conflict
abort due to inadequate TLB invalidation when coalescing tables.

Thanks for sending this! Happy to see more tests for weird TLB
flushing edge cases and races.
Just out of curiosity, were you unable to replicate the bug with the
dirty_log_perf_test and setting the wr_fract option?
With "KVM: selftests: Disable dirty logging with vCPUs running"
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/2/2/1431), the dirty_log_perf_test has
most of the same features as this one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the major difference
here is a more careful pattern of which pages are dirtied when.
Within Google we have a system for pre-specifying sets of arguments to
e.g. the dirty_log_perf_test. I wonder if something similar, even as
simple as a script that just runs dirty_log_perf_test several times
would be helpful for cases where different arguments are needed for
the test to cover different specific cases. Even with this test, for
example, I assume the test doesn't work very well with just 1 vCPU,
but it's still a good default in the test, so having some kind of
configuration (lite) file would be useful.

Is block a more common term in ARM than in x86? I don't think it makes
too much difference, but most of the test's and code I've looked at
use "huge page" to refer to 2M mappings and "large page" to refer
generically to mappings bigger than the base page size. Unless block
has some other specific meaning, I'd suggest:
uint64_t large_page_size;
uint64_t large_page_num_pages;
uint64_t host_pages_per_large_page;
or
uint64_t lpage_size;
uint64_t lpage_num_pages;
uint64_t host_pages_per_lpage;
and so on through the file.

I'm not sure that 1G page support is fully implemented in this test.
At minimum, I believe a flag is needed in the call to
vm_userspace_mem_region_add, but it might be cleaner to add a
VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_1G_HUGETLB backing src type that causes the flag
to be added in vm_userspace_mem_region_add.
Isn't VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB enough for
vm_userspace_mem_region_add() ?
If users specify use of VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB and have configed
enough
1G hugepages on the system, then the HVA->HPA mappings of this region
will be created
with 1G granularity. And I have seen the 1G block mappings created
successfully through
trace log in my local test. Is there other consideration for
VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_1G_HUGETLB,
could you please let me know?
Thanks,
Yanan.
I've worked with 1G pages a bit in the past, but don't know a ton
about how they're allocated, so I'm hardly an expert here.
When you say that if there are enough hugepages on the system, the
memory allocation will be backed with 1G pages, does that imply that
1G is the system-wide default huge TLB size? Or maybe default for just
the process? In either case, I think this could lead to flaky tests if
another process or memory allocation were to allocate some memory and
take some of the pages this test was relying on.
Passing MAP_HUGE_1GB as a flag to the mmap call may be a better option because:
1.) we can leave the default huge TLB size at 2M so that other
operations don't allocate the limited 1G pages and
2.) the mmap operation will definitely fail if there are not enough
1G pages on the system. I'm not sure what the behavior is when
changing the default huge page size, but I could imagine mmap
transparently falling back to 2M pages if there aren't enough 1G on
the system.
Adding VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_1G_HUGETLB and passing MAP_HUGE_1GB to
mmap could also be done in a later patch.
I see what you mean now. Yes, it's necessary to add one more flag to
mmap() to specify
the exact hugepage size that we desire. (with MAP_HUGETLB only, mmap()
will only find
the default hugepages, and if the default size is 2M but we want 1G,
that will be wrong).
Now all known hugepage size encodings are provided in mman.h, so we can
add one
more argument *hugepage size* to vm_userspace_mem_region_add, and parse the
user-specified pagesize, if it's unknown then
vm_userspace_mem_region_add will fail, and if
the size is not system-supported or there are not enough hugepages, then
mmap() will fail.
Thanks, I will pay attention to this in next patch version.
