[PATCH v6 2/2] misc: Add a mechanism to detect stalls on guest vCPUs

From: Sebastian Ene
Date: Thu Jun 16 2022 - 05:28:15 EST


This driver creates per-cpu hrtimers which are required to do the
periodic 'pet' operation. On a conventional watchdog-core driver, the
userspace is responsible for delivering the 'pet' events by writing to
the particular /dev/watchdogN node. In this case we require a strong
thread affinity to be able to account for lost time on a per vCPU.

This part of the driver is the 'frontend' which is reponsible for
delivering the periodic 'pet' events, configuring the virtual peripheral
and listening for cpu hotplug events. The other part of the driver
handles the peripheral emulation and this part accounts for lost time by
looking at the /proc/{}/task/{}/stat entries and is located here:

+ Detect CPU locks on the virtual machine. This driver relies on the
+ hrtimers which are CPU-binded to do the 'pet' operation. When a vCPU
+ has to do a 'pet', it exits the guest through MMIO write and the
+ backend driver takes into account the lost ticks for this particular
+ CPU.
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called vcpu_stall_detector.
