[PATCH v3] ptp: Add vDSO-style vmclock support

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Mon Jul 29 2024 - 06:43:02 EST

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The vmclock "device" provides a shared memory region with precision clock
information. By using shared memory, it is safe across Live Migration.

Like the KVM PTP clock, this can convert TSC-based cross timestamps into
KVM clock values. Unlike the KVM PTP clock, it does so only when such is
actually helpful.

The memory region of the device is also exposed to userspace so it can be
read or memory mapped by application which need reliable notification of
clock disruptions.

QEMU implementation at
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/vmclock

The important part here is the pvclock_abi structure. The ACPI device
is just the simplest of many possible methods by which it could be made
discoverable by a guest. The fields and values in the structure are
aligned as much as possible with the nascent virtio-rtc specification,
with the intent that a version of the same structure can be
incorporated into that standard.

v3:
• Fix stray backtick from space→tab conversion
• Switch to assigned AMZNC10C HID.

v2:
• Match "AMZNVCLK" HID instead of CID (QEMU patch updated accordingly)
• Be more flexible about struct size to allow expansion
• Remove 'inline'
• Comment read barriers, other cosmetics.

v1:
• Change absolute error fields to nanoseconds
• Update leap second definition to match virtio-rtc intentions in

https://lore.kernel.org/all/85c93b42-41a2-42c4-a168-55079bbfff71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

RFC v4:
• Add esterror fields, MONOTONIC flag.
• Reduce seq_count to 32 bits
• Expand size to permit 64KiB pages
• Align with virtio-rtc fields, values and leap handling
• Drop gettime() method (since we have gettimex())
• Add leap second smearing hint
• Use a real _CRS on the ACPI device

RFC v3: (wrong patch sent)

RFC v2:
• Add gettimex64() support
• Convert TSC values to KVM clock when appropriate
• Require int128 support
• Add counter_period_shift
• Add timeout when seq_count is invalid
• Add flags field
• Better comments in vmclock ABI structure
• Explicitly forbid smearing (as clock rates would need to change)

+ * This structure provides a vDSO-style clock to VM guests, exposing the
+ * relationship (or lack thereof) between the CPU clock (TSC, timebase, arch
+ * counter, etc.) and real time. It is designed to address the problem of
+ * live migration, which other clock enlightenments do not.
+ *
+ * When a guest is live migrated, this affects the clock in two ways.
+ *
+ * First, even between identical hosts the actual frequency of the underlying
+ * counter will change within the tolerances of its specification (typically
+ * ±50PPM, or 4 seconds a day). This frequency also varies over time on the
+ * same host, but can be tracked by NTP as it generally varies slowly. With
+ * live migration there is a step change in the frequency, with no warning.
+ *
+ * Second, there may be a step change in the value of the counter itself, as
+ * its accuracy is limited by the precision of the NTP synchronization on the
+ * source and destination hosts.
+ *
+ * So any calibration (NTP, PTP, etc.) which the guest has done on the source
+ * host before migration is invalid, and needs to be redone on the new host.
+ *
+ * In its most basic mode, this structure provides only an indication to the
+ * guest that live migration has occurred. This allows the guest to know that
+ * its clock is invalid and take remedial action. For applications that need
+ * reliable accurate timestamps (e.g. distributed databases), the structure
+ * can be mapped all the way to userspace. This allows the application to see
+ * directly for itself that the clock is disrupted and take appropriate
+ * action, even when using a vDSO-style method to get the time instead of a
+ * system call.
+ *
+ * In its more advanced mode. this structure can also be used to expose the
+ * precise relationship of the CPU counter to real time, as calibrated by the
+ * host. This means that userspace applications can have accurate time
+ * immediately after live migration, rather than having to pause operations
+ * and wait for NTP to recover. This mode does, of course, rely on the
+ * counter being reliable and consistent across CPUs.
+ *
+ * Note that this must be true UTC, never with smeared leap seconds. If a
+ * guest wishes to construct a smeared clock, it can do so. Presenting a
+ * smeared clock through this interface would be problematic because it
+ * actually messes with the apparent counter *period*. A linear smearing
+ * of 1 ms per second would effectively tweak the counter period by 1000PPM
+ * at the start/end of the smearing period, while a sinusoidal smear would
+ * basically be impossible to represent.
+ *
+ * This structure is offered with the intent that it be adopted into the
+ * nascent virtio-rtc standard, as a virtio-rtc that does not address the live
+ * migration problem seems a little less than fit for purpose. For that
+ * reason, certain fields use precisely the same numeric definitions as in
+ * the virtio-rtc proposal. The structure can also be exposed through an ACPI
+ * device with the CID "VMCLOCK", modelled on the "VMGENID" device except for
+ * the fact that it uses a real _CRS to convey the address of the structure
+ * (which should be a full page, to allow for mapping directly to userspace).
