 Hello everyone, I'm Jian Yifei from Huawei. Here I'd like to present our work on applying hardware-assisted techniques to our virtualization from the work. We name this work HLV. We first explain the background and the motivation of our work. Then the HLV architecture is introduced. More details about HLV are described in the following three parts. Finally, we conclude our work and introduce our future work. So even increasing demand for high performance computing in data centers has results in the dramatic development of various virtualization environments. IO virtualization is one of the most crucial components which targets not only to optimize the virtualization of physical resource, but also to enhance the IO performance to elevate the IO virtualization overhands. Hardware-assisted techniques are proposed to directly pass through excise physical IO devices, but then complicate the live migration. Software techniques, such as four emulated IO devices and parallel virtual IO devices, suffering from performance loss due to costly context switch between guest and host. Our work focuses on the four emulated IO devices and parallel virtual IO devices. While guests suffer performance loss, we are accessing emulated IO devices implemented in the user-level cumulus rights. Let's see the whole procedure. Firstly, to access four emulated IO devices, guests should trip out to QM. And QM will further transform IO requests to the user-level by handling exceptions. Thus, context should switch from kernel to the user space. Then cumulus rights process IO request and return processing IO results. Context will switch back to QM. QM further returns back to guest, so switching context. Finally, the guest resumes. As we can see from the whole procedure, costly context switch between host and guest exit and are unavailable in current software and hardware architecture. As for parallel virtual IO devices, which are implement using L thread based on what I found work, there are also costly context switch. The different is that the guest trips out to QM and QM sends IO event FD to blocking IO threads. This is done by sending API to targeted CPU cores in standard of handling exception in the same CPU cores. In targeted CPU core, kernel schedule wakes up the IO thread to process IO requests. After the processing, IO thread sends interrupt back to guest to notify the completion of IO requests. Guest trips out again to get watch interrupt injected. Of course, this can be optimized by ex-list interrupt mechanism, but when guest said IO request, the overhands caused by guest trapping cannot be avoided. Let's see the host. The host propose to elevate IO processing overhands by adapting kernel thread, but overhands caused by context switch between guest and the host still exist. Different from the host. The host user believe IO overhands will share the memory between guest and the host. However, it prevent other threads from running on the polling CPU core. When watch IO workloads become real, the CPU utilization become lower. To elevate IO pass overhands in IO virtualization front of work, as well as improving CPU utilization lower by polling mode, we introduced the ITLA IO way. Note that our technicals also target to avoid complicating the level migration. As mentioned before, when guest access for emulated IO devices cause the context switch between guest and the host reduce the performance. Thus, we propose the ITLA IO way to elevate the context switch overhands. We do this by directly delegating exception from guest to host user space by passing QM. More details will be described in the following slides. As for per virtual IO devices in Kono and user space, what IO and we host require the guest to check out to send API or send event IO event type D to notify what IO backend and we host backend respectively. Particularly, IO threads running in user space should be scheduled by corner. This is for the host overhands before processing IO request. To serve the costly IO pass overhands, polling mode in which host user is used. It allows the guest to interact with user-level IO drivers directly where shared memory between guest and the host. However, polling threads prevent other threads running on the polling CPU course which lowers the CPU utilization. Here, we propose the ITLA IO way for one thing, virtual event interrupt mechanism is introduced to allow guest to send interrupts without trapping out to QM. For another, user-level interrupt handler which is for handling virtual event interrupt can be worked up quickly by hardware-assisted context switch mechanism. From above, ITLA way can eliminate costly context switch between host and the guest. The user-level threads can be worked up quickly. Furthermore, through the combination of VI and HCS, the wasted polling CPU course become free to run other threads. It can improve the CPU utilization. To validate our ideas, we implement a prototype on the RISC-5 systems. In RISC-5 architecture, privilege mode is defined as shown in the figure. There are four privilege labs and two virtualization mode. Guest runs in virtualization mode and the host runs in non-virtualization mode. The extension is proposed in RISC-5 privilege architecture for adding user-level interrupt and exception handler. Interrupts and exceptions can thus be delegated to user-level. Hardware can transfer control delivered directly to user-level trap handler without evoking the auto-execution environments. To support HAL, we will further extend the extension with the ability to redirect exception occurs in VS model or VU model to VU model and the ability to allow VS model or VU model to be interrupted by the user-level interrupts. Both emulated and per-virtual IO devices can benefit from HAL way. Next, we are sure the more details in following three parts. For emulated virtual IO devices such as UART, Guest trap out when accessing my mail region. QM obtains the reason and the date of trap and the further transform those information to the user space. QM tool or QMA process IO request according to those informations. After that, control flow returns back to QM and further returns back to Guest. As shown in the graph, with the support of hardware, a specific exception rest in Guest can be directly redirect to host user space by passing QM. User-level exception handler first save the Guest context. Also some function implemented in QM under the exception in our work, they are moved to the host user space. Thus procedure of obtain exception reason and related data are moved to the host user space. Besides when corner traps occur during the IO process, new corner stack should be a region to avoid the broken or exiting corner stack to directly redirect the exception from Guest to the host user space. We extended the extension. An extension is for adding user-level exception and the interrupt handler. In extension, control state adjusts such as your status, your structure, et cetera, are used. As shown in the following tables. So we no longer detain them here. User-level exception handler defined in an extension can only process exception in your model. We here extended the extension to be able to handle exception rest in the Guest. First, we added a new CSR HUE delegate to along exceptions rest in Guest to be delegated recording the previous privilege live and the virtualization mode. Control flow in Guest can thus be redirected to user space. Also, the control flow should also be able to return to back to return back to Guest from the host user space directly at that time. The U-Return instruction is extended with the semantic of a long return to VS model or VM model from your model. Further to avoid abusing the U-Return instruction a new field called HUR is added in H status. This can prevent normal threads, normal user threads to jump to any place in Guest. This is because the returned address pointed by UEPC and U status can be changed without any restriction. Besides, two MML page foot exception are added. Those exception will also be handled in host user space. When Guest accesses specific MML address of emulated devices by load or store instruction cross-binding exception will be rest to implement this a new field called MML is added in PTE. When MML accesses the PTE add the second stage translation and the MML is set in PTE. MML page foot will be rest to alleviate the performance improvement brought by HALV. We perform our experiments on RISC-5 systems which is running on the Haselink QMPOM 920 CPU cross. The host is configured with four CPU and two gigabytes system memory. Where the guest is start up with one CPU and one gigabytes system memory which is enough to perform our test. Due to the lack of standardized UART benchmark, we tested the performance of UART by outputting one kilo, 10 kilo, 50 kilo, 100 kilo length of hollow wall to the terminal. As we can see from the red finger, the output speed of HALV-based UART achieves near two times faster than the original one. Chrono-pervertual IO devices such as we host the night can also benefit from HALV. In extending Merged to accessing Chrono-pervertual IO devices, the guest should trip out to say the notifications. In actual way, we propose the VI with along the guest said supervised interrupt without tripping out. Host the Chrono-threads can thus be worked up quickly by eliminating the overhands of contact switch between host and the guest. To allow guest to notify Chrono-threads in the host, each Chrono-threads for handling supervised interrupt is paired to a physical virtual event interrupt which is identified by the VR ID. Guest only need to send the VR request number to the interrupt controller. Then the interrupt controller will transfer the VR request number to the VR ID. Then the mapping information is a private by-cumer and the host of Chrono. Finally, each VR request number in a guest will be attached to a VR ID on the specific CPU core. More specifically, following steps will be performed to send and deliver supervised VR. Firstly, guest sends the VR by writing VR request to a new added CPU rejector. The rejector is alone to access in guest. So there is no need for guest to check in on the VR ID. Then VR ID is obtained by VR model in CPU to further create the rejected mapping information present in the interrupt controller. Finally, when the target CPU ID is found, a physical interrupt identified by VR ID is delivered to the host of Chrono-threads in target CPU. To show the advantage of HALV, we perform our test using the VR host of night. The experiment environment is the same to the one to elevate the UART. NetPolf is choosing as the benchmark to evaluate the performance of VR host of night and HALV based VR host of night. As we can see from the red fingers, and with TCP and UDP of VR host of night can be improved by over 100% when message size are small. Finally, to improve CPU utilization, Polymod is replaced by watcher-inventor interrupt and hardware-assisted context switch in our approach. In the Polymod guest interactor with user-level IELTS devices will share the memory between guest and the host. What are the bankings that are implemented as polling threads which still keep other threads running on the polling CPU course? When IELTS request become real, this lowers the utilization of polling CPU course. In HALV, guest interactor with user-level devices by using live watcher-inventor interrupt. Guest is allows to send user-level VR without tripping out to QM. Water Banking is implemented in user-level interactors. It can be triggered by the VR. Instead of be scheduled by the kernel, it can enhance the responsiveness. Hardware-assisted context switch is thus extended in the CPU and interactor controller. For swiping the memory space and data structure of user-level interactor handlers by passing the kernel. To support the user-level interrupt, thus we just including your scratcher, your director as your scratch and the SUITP should also be provided in the interactor controller. Your scratch saves the user-level data structure of the interactor handler, where UT vector stores the entry address of the interactor handler. To achieve faster responsiveness when handling user-level interrupts, we just as your scratch and the SUITP are extended. So we just as your scratch is for saving the kernel data structure of the user-level interrupt handler, where the SUITP is for saving the memory space of the user-level interrupt handler. When a user-level virtual event interrupt is sent by the guest, interruptor controller creates the mapping information to find the VEI physical number. Also, we just mentioned about in the target CPU course are overwritten by the interrupt controller. Then the interrupt controller delivers the VEI D to the target CPU course. When target CPU course handlers the user-level interrupts, hardware-assisted context switch mechanism in CPU for the swap wheels in SEO Scratch SUITP with the Scratch SUITP. The critical context, including memory space and the data structures of the interrupted user-swept and the user-level interrupt handlers are swept by the hardware-assessed context switch. To handle the user-level interrupts, cross-spending software interrupt handler is post and it is architecture is shown in the red fingers. A user-level interrupt handler is composed of interrupt handler and user-stract user-swept. User-stract user-swept, both of which showing the same memory space and the color data structure, which the interrupt handler is triggered to run. Contacts are saved in, it is user-stike. The saved context will be restored when returned to the interrupted thread. During the execution of the interrupt handler from the view of Kono or CPU, the interrupted thread is still running and it is only regated as interrupted in a standard of being scheduled out. This is done by showing the schedule information of the interrupted thread with the interrupt handler. However, the CPU core sometimes is not in the U-mode and this may post upon the handling of the user-level interrupts. Thus for one thing, the period of VS-mode, VU-mode is defined to be lower than the period of U-mode. User-level interrupts are able to interrupt the running guest by switching virtualization mode to non-virtualization mode. For another, if the targeted CPU core is in interest mode, for example, the idle task is running, Adobe interrupt is the rest to schedule user strikes. Then the interrupt handler is triggered by the user-level VI to run IO process by interrupting the user thread. Due to the lack of DBTK and SBTK support in RISC-5 systems, we evaluate the user-level VI using water block. We use FIO benchmark to test the radar, right-round read and the right-round write performance of guests on the basis of water block and actual way based on water block. From the right fingers, we can see that actual way against the average 20% performance improvement when message size are small. Also the performance in validation results we obtained are still unstable. We believe it is caused by the software Q-mode emulator that FPGA-based platform that supports RISC-5 virtualization is needed for fast and validated the new ideas. In this talk, we propose hardware-assisted technicals for IO virtualization, including user-level exception redirection, virtual event interrupt and hardware-assisted context switch. We name it HRA-L-V. HRA-L-V enhance performance of four emulated IO devices and the per-virtual IO devices in both the kernel and user space. Besides, it improved CPU utilization by freeing up pulling CPU cores. There are some future work. The VM map query hardware models in current implementation prototypes is new view. So the latency of query VM map information is server's future optimization. Also, since with VEI is attached to a physical CPU core, CPU affinity policies for VEI should be provided for load balancing. Due to the operation on pre-wage regressed such as UEPC and U-status may cost some security issues. Much more work on enhancing the security of HRA-L-V should be taken into consideration. Okay, this is all our work. Thank you.
