Michael S. Tsirkin 481eaec37e tools/virtio: add ringtest utilities
This adds micro-benchmarks useful for tuning virtio ring layouts.
Three layouts are currently implemented:

- virtio 0.9 compatible one
- an experimental extension bypassing the ring index, polling ring
  itself instead
- an experimental extension bypassing avail and used ring completely

Typical use:

sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring

It doesn't depend on the kernel directly, but it's handy
to have as much virtio stuff as possible in one tree.

Michael S. Tsirkin 55564a02b2 tools/virtio: fix byteswap logic
commit cf561f0d2e ("virtio: introduce
virtio_is_little_endian() helper") changed byteswap logic to
skip feature bit checks for LE platforms, but didn't
update tools/virtio, so vring_bench started failing.

Update the copy under tools/virtio/ (TODO: find a way to avoid this code
duplication).

Michael S. Tsirkin d025477368 virtio: add support for 64 bit features.
Change u32 to u64, and use BIT_ULL and 1ULL everywhere.

Note: transports are unchanged, and only set low 32 bit.
This guarantees that no transport sets e.g. VERSION_1
by mistake without proper support.

Michael S. Tsirkin e16e12be34 virtio: use u32, not bitmap for features
It seemed like a good idea to use bitmap for features
in struct virtio_device, but it's actually a pain,
and seems to become even more painful when we get more
than 32 feature bits.  Just change it to a u32 for now.

Heinz Graalfs 46f9c2b925 virtio_ring: change host notification API
Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.

Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.

This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

Rusty Russell 13816c768d virtio_ring: virtqueue_add_sgs, to add multiple sgs.
virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying
the whole sg array.  Some other things get slightly neater, too.

This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as
a wrapper.  This is addressed in the next patches.

Rusty Russell 1515c5ce26 tools/virtio: add vring_test.
This is mainly to test the drivers/vhost/vringh.c code, but it also
uses the drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c code for the guest side.

Usage for testing the basic implementation:

	./vringh_test
	# Test with indirect descriptors
	./vringh_test --indirect
	# Test with indirect descriptors and event indexex
	./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx

You can run a parallel stress test by adding --parallel to any of the
above options.

eg ./vringh_test --parallel:
	Using CPUS 0 and 3
	Guest: notified 10107974, pinged 107970
	Host: notified 108158, pinged 3172148

./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel:

	Host: notified 156251, pinged 78179

Rusty Russell f96fde41f7 virtio: rename virtqueue_add_buf_gfp to virtqueue_add_buf
Remove wrapper functions. This makes the allocation type explicit in
all callers; I used GPF_KERNEL where it seemed obvious, left it at
GFP_ATOMIC otherwise.

Rusty Russell 7b21e34fd1 virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones.  That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).

Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci.  In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.

By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

Michael S. Tsirkin 4e53f78e5b tools/virtio: virtio_test tool
This is the userspace part of the tool: it includes a bunch of stubs for
linux APIs, somewhat simular to linuxsched. This makes it possible to
recompile the ring code in userspace.

A small test example is implemented combining this with vhost_test
module.

This adds a test module for vhost infrastructure.
Intentionally not tied to kbuild to prevent people
from installing and loading it accidentally.
