With vfio ioeventfd support, we can program vfio-pci to perform a
specified BAR write when an eventfd is triggered. This allows the
KVM ioeventfd to be wired directly to vfio-pci, entirely avoiding
userspace handling for these events. On the same micro-benchmark
where the ioeventfd got us to almost 90% of performance versus
disabling the GeForce quirks, this gets us to within 95%.

The NVIDIA BAR0 quirks virtualize the PCI config space mirrors found
in device MMIO space. Normally PCI config space is considered a slow
path and further optimization is unnecessary, however NVIDIA uses a
register here to enable the MSI interrupt to re-trigger. Exiting to
QEMU for this MSI-ACK handling can therefore rate limit our interrupt
handling. Fortunately the MSI-ACK write is easily detected since the
quirk MemoryRegion otherwise has very few accesses, so simply looking
for consecutive writes with the same data is sufficient, in this case
10 consecutive writes with the same data and size is arbitrarily
chosen. We configure the KVM ioeventfd with data match, so there's
no risk of triggering for the wrong data or size, but we do risk that
pathological driver behavior might consume all of QEMU's file
descriptors, so we cap ourselves to 10 ioeventfds for this purpose.
In support of the above, generic ioeventfd infrastructure is added
for vfio quirks. This automatically initializes an ioeventfd list
per quirk, disables and frees ioeventfds on exit, and allows
ioeventfds marked as dynamic to be dropped on device reset. The
rationale for this latter feature is that useful ioeventfds may
depend on specific driver behavior and since we necessarily place a
cap on our use of ioeventfds, a machine reset is a reasonable point
at which to assume a new driver and re-profile.

These quirks are necessary for GeForce, but not for Quadro/GRID/Tesla
assignment. Leaving them enabled is fully functional and provides the
most compatibility, but due to the unique NVIDIA MSI ACK behavior[1],
it also introduces latency in re-triggering the MSI interrupt. This
overhead is typically negligible, but has been shown to adversely
affect some (very) high interrupt rate applications. This adds the
vfio-pci device option "x-no-geforce-quirks=" which can be set to
"on" to disable this additional overhead.
A follow-on optimization for GeForce might be to make use of an
ioeventfd to allow KVM to trigger an irqfd in the kernel vfio-pci
driver, avoiding the bounce through userspace to handle this device
write.
[1] Background: the NVIDIA driver has been observed to issue a write
to the MMIO mirror of PCI config space in BAR0 in order to allow the
MSI interrupt for the device to retrigger. Older reports indicated a
write of 0xff to the (read-only) MSI capability ID register, while
more recently a write of 0x0 is observed at config space offset 0x704,
non-architected, extended config space of the device (BAR0 offset
0x88704). Virtualization of this range is only required for GeForce.

Recently proposed vfio-pci kernel changes (v4.16) remove the
restriction preventing userspace from mmap'ing PCI BARs in areas
overlapping the MSI-X vector table. This change is primarily intended
to benefit host platforms which make use of system page sizes larger
than the PCI spec recommendation for alignment of MSI-X data
structures (ie. not x86_64). In the case of POWER systems, the SPAPR
spec requires the VM to program MSI-X using hypercalls, rendering the
MSI-X vector table unused in the VM view of the device. However,
ARM64 platforms also support 64KB pages and rely on QEMU emulation of
MSI-X. Regardless of the kernel driver allowing mmaps overlapping
the MSI-X vector table, emulation of the MSI-X vector table also
prevents direct mapping of device MMIO spaces overlapping this page.
Thanks to the fact that PCI devices have a standard self discovery
mechanism, we can try to resolve this by relocating the MSI-X data
structures, either by creating a new PCI BAR or extending an existing
BAR and updating the MSI-X capability for the new location. There's
even a very slim chance that this could benefit devices which do not
adhere to the PCI spec alignment guidelines on x86_64 systems.
This new x-msix-relocation option accepts the following choices:
off: Disable MSI-X relocation, use native device config (default)
auto: Use a known good combination for the platform/device (none yet)
bar0..bar5: Specify the target BAR for MSI-X data structures
If compatible, the target BAR will either be created or extended and
the new portion will be used for MSI-X emulation.
The first obvious user question with this option is how to determine
whether a given platform and device might benefit from this option.
In most cases, the answer is that it won't, especially on x86_64.
Devices often dedicate an entire BAR to MSI-X and therefore no
performance sensitive registers overlap the MSI-X area. Take for
example:
# lspci -vvvs 0a:00.0
0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection
...
Region 0: Memory at db680000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
Region 3: Memory at db7f8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
...
Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=10 Masked-
Vector table: BAR=3 offset=00000000
PBA: BAR=3 offset=00002000
This device uses the 16K bar3 for MSI-X with the vector table at
offset zero and the pending bits arrary at offset 8K, fully honoring
the PCI spec alignment guidance. The data sheet specifically refers
to this as an MSI-X BAR. This device would not see a benefit from
MSI-X relocation regardless of the platform, regardless of the page
size.
However, here's another example:
# lspci -vvvs 02:00.0
02:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: xxxxxxxx
...
Region 0: I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
Region 1: Memory at ef640000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Region 3: Memory at ef600000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
...
Capabilities: [c0] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=16 Masked-
Vector table: BAR=1 offset=0000e000
PBA: BAR=1 offset=0000f000
Here the MSI-X data structures are placed on separate 4K pages at the
end of a 64KB BAR. If our host page size is 4K, we're likely fine,
but at 64KB page size, MSI-X emulation at that location prevents the
entire BAR from being directly mapped into the VM address space.
Overlapping performance sensitive registers then starts to be a very
likely scenario on such a platform. At this point, the user could
enable tracing on vfio_region_read and vfio_region_write to determine
more conclusively if device accesses are being trapped through QEMU.
Upon finding a device and platform in need of MSI-X relocation, the
next problem is how to choose target PCI BAR to host the MSI-X data
structures. A few key rules to keep in mind for this selection
include:
* There are only 6 BAR slots, bar0..bar5
* 64-bit BARs occupy two BAR slots, 'lspci -vvv' lists the first slot
* PCI BARs are always a power of 2 in size, extending == doubling
* The maximum size of a 32-bit BAR is 2GB
* MSI-X data structures must reside in an MMIO BAR
Using these rules, we can evaluate each BAR of the second example
device above as follows:
bar0: I/O port BAR, incompatible with MSI-X tables
bar1: BAR could be extended, incurring another 64KB of MMIO
bar2: Unavailable, bar1 is 64-bit, this register is used by bar1
bar3: BAR could be extended, incurring another 256KB of MMIO
bar4: Unavailable, bar3 is 64bit, this register is used by bar3
bar5: Available, empty BAR, minimum additional MMIO
A secondary optimization we might wish to make in relocating MSI-X
is to minimize the additional MMIO required for the device, therefore
we might test the available choices in order of preference as bar5,
bar1, and finally bar3. The original proposal for this feature
included an 'auto' option which would choose bar5 in this case, but
various drivers have been found that make assumptions about the
properties of the "first" BAR or the size of BARs such that there
appears to be no foolproof automatic selection available, requiring
known good combinations to be sourced from users. This patch is
pre-enabled for an 'auto' selection making use of a validated lookup
table, but no entries are yet identified.

NVIDIA has defined a specification for creating GPUDirect "cliques",
where devices with the same clique ID support direct peer-to-peer DMA.
When running on bare-metal, tools like NVIDIA's p2pBandwidthLatencyTest
(part of cuda-samples) determine which GPUs can support peer-to-peer
based on chipset and topology. When running in a VM, these tools have
no visibility to the physical hardware support or topology. This
option allows the user to specify hints via a vendor defined
capability. For instance:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-set'/>
<qemu:arg value='device.hostdev0.x-nv-gpudirect-clique=0'/>
<qemu:arg value='-set'/>
<qemu:arg value='device.hostdev1.x-nv-gpudirect-clique=1'/>
<qemu:arg value='-set'/>
<qemu:arg value='device.hostdev2.x-nv-gpudirect-clique=1'/>
</qemu:commandline>
This enables two cliques. The first is a singleton clique with ID 0,
for the first hostdev defined in the XML (note that since cliques
define peer-to-peer sets, singleton clique offer no benefit). The
subsequent two hostdevs are both added to clique ID 1, indicating
peer-to-peer is possible between these devices.
QEMU only provides validation that the clique ID is valid and applied
to an NVIDIA graphics device, any validation that the resulting
cliques are functional and valid is the user's responsibility. The
NVIDIA specification allows a 4-bit clique ID, thus valid values are
0-15.

Enable quirks to support SandyBridge and newer IGD devices as primary
VM graphics. This requires new vfio-pci device specific regions added
in kernel v4.6 to expose the IGD OpRegion, the shadow ROM, and config
space access to the PCI host bridge and LPC/ISA bridge. VM firmware
support, SeaBIOS only so far, is also required for reserving memory
regions for IGD specific use. In order to enable this mode, IGD must
be assigned to the VM at PCI bus address 00:02.0, it must have a ROM,
it must be able to enable VGA, it must have or be able to create on
its own an LPC/ISA bridge of the proper type at PCI bus address
00:1f.0 (sorry, not compatible with Q35 yet), and it must have the
above noted vfio-pci kernel features and BIOS. The intention is that
to enable this mode, a user simply needs to assign 00:02.0 from the
host to 00:02.0 in the VM:
-device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:02.0,bus=pci.0,addr=02.0
and everything either happens automatically or it doesn't. In the
case that it doesn't, we leave error reports, but assume the device
will operate in universal passthrough mode (UPT), which doesn't
require any of this, but has a much more narrow window of supported
devices, supported use cases, and supported guest drivers.
When using IGD in this mode, the VM firmware is required to reserve
some VM RAM for the OpRegion (on the order or several 4k pages) and
stolen memory for the GTT (up to 8MB for the latest GPUs). An
additional option, x-igd-gms allows the user to specify some amount
of additional memory (value is number of 32MB chunks up to 512MB) that
is pre-allocated for graphics use. TBH, I don't know of anything that
requires this or makes use of this memory, which is why we don't
allocate any by default, but the specification suggests this is not
actually a valid combination, so the option exists as a workaround.
Please report if it's actually necessary in some environment.
See code comments for further discussion about the actual operation
of the quirks necessary to assign these devices.

The PCI spec recommends devices use additional alignment for MSI-X
data structures to allow software to map them to separate processor
pages. One advantage of doing this is that we can emulate those data
structures without a significant performance impact to the operation
of the device. Some devices fail to implement that suggestion and
assigned device performance suffers.
One such case of this is a Mellanox MT27500 series, ConnectX-3 VF,
where the MSI-X vector table and PBA are aligned on separate 4K
pages. If PBA emulation is enabled, performance suffers. It's not
clear how much value we get from PBA emulation, but the solution here
is to only lazily enable the emulated PBA when a masked MSI-X vector
fires. We then attempt to more aggresively disable the PBA memory
region any time a vector is unmasked. The expectation is then that
a typical VM will run entirely with PBA emulation disabled, and only
when used is that emulation re-enabled.

Specifying an emulated PCI vendor/device ID can be useful for testing
various quirk paths, even though the behavior and functionality of
the device with bogus IDs is fully unsupportable. We need to use a
uint32_t for the vendor/device IDs, even though the registers
themselves are only 16-bit in order to be able to determine whether
the value is valid and user set.
The same support is added for subsystem vendor/device ID, though these
have the possibility of being useful and supported for more than a
testing tool. An emulated platform might want to impose their own
subsystem IDs or at least hide the physical subsystem ID. Windows
guests will often reinstall drivers due to a change in subsystem IDs,
something that VM users may want to avoid. Of course careful
attention would be required to ensure that guest drivers do not rely
on the subsystem ID as a basis for device driver quirks.
All of these options are added using the standard experimental option
