2019-09-19Replace '-machine accel=xyz' with '-accel xyz'Thomas Huth
We've got a separate option to configure the accelerator nowadays, which is shorter to type and the preferred way of specifying an accelerator. Use it in the source and examples to show that it is the favored option. (However, do not touch the places yet which also specify other machine options or multiple accelerators - these are currently still better handled with one single "-machine" statement instead) Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190904052739.22123-1-thuth@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>
2019-07-01python/qemu: split QEMUMachine out from underneath __init__.pyJohn Snow
It's not obvious that something named __init__.py actually houses important code that isn't relevant to python packaging glue. Move the QEMUMachine and related error classes out into their own module. Adjust users to the new import location.

2019-02-22Introduce a Python module structureCleber Rosa
This is a simple move of Python code that wraps common QEMU functionality, and are used by a number of different tests and scripts. By treating that code as a real Python module, we can more easily: * reuse code * have a proper place for the module's own unittests * apply a more consistent style * generate documentation Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Caio Carrara <ccarrara@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190206162901.19082-2-crosa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>

2017-10-11scripts: Remove debug parameter from QEMUMachineEduardo Habkost
All scripts that use the QEMUMachine and QEMUQtestMachine classes (device-crash-test, tests/migration/*, iotests.py, basevm.py) already configure logging. The basicConfig() call inside QEMUMachine.__init__() is being kept just to make sure a script would still work if it didn't configure logging.

2016-07-22tests: introduce a framework for testing migration performanceDaniel P. Berrange
This introduces a moderately general purpose framework for testing performance of migration. The initial guest workload is provided by the included 'stress' program, which is configured to spawn one thread per guest CPU and run a maximally memory intensive workload. It will loop over GB of memory, xor'ing each byte with data from a 4k array of random bytes. This ensures heavy read and write load across all of guest memory to stress the migration performance. While running the 'stress' program will record how long it takes to xor each GB of memory and print this data for later reporting. The test engine will spawn a pair of QEMU processes, either on the same host, or with the target on a remote host via ssh, using the host kernel and a custom initrd built with 'stress' as the /init binary. Kernel command line args are set to ensure a fast kernel boot time (< 1 second) between launching QEMU and the stress program starting execution. None the less, the test engine will initially wait N seconds for the guest workload to stablize, before starting the migration operation. When migration is running, the engine will use pause, post-copy, autoconverge, xbzrle compression and multithread compression features, as well as downtime & bandwidth tuning to encourage completion. If migration completes, the test engine will wait N seconds again for the guest workooad to stablize on the target host. If migration does not complete after a preset number of iterations, it will be aborted. While the QEMU process is running on the source host, the test engine will sample the host CPU usage of QEMU as a whole, and each vCPU thread. While migration is running, it will record all the stats reported by 'query-migration'. Finally, it will capture the output of the stress program running in the guest. All the data produced from a single test execution is recorded in a structured JSON file. A separate program is then able to create interactive charts using the "plotly" python + javascript libraries, showing the characteristics of the migration. The data output provides visualization of the effect on guest vCPU workloads from the migration process, the corresponding vCPU utilization on the host, and the overall CPU hit from QEMU on the host. This is correlated from statistics from the migration process, such as downtime, vCPU throttling and iteration number. While the tests can be run individually with arbitrary parameters, there is also a facility for producing batch reports for a number of pre-defined scenarios / comparisons, in order to be able to get standardized results across different hardware configurations (eg TCP vs RDMA, or comparing different VCPU counts / memory sizes, etc). To use this, first you must build the initrd image $ make tests/migration/initrd-stress.img To run a a one-shot test with all default parameters $ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py > result.json This has many command line args for varying its behaviour. For example, to increase the RAM size and CPU count and bind it to specific host NUMA nodes $ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py \ --mem 4 --cpus 2 \ --src-mem-bind 0 --src-cpu-bind 0,1 \ --dst-mem-bind 1 --dst-cpu-bind 2,3 \ > result.json Using mem + cpu binding is strongly recommended on NUMA machines, otherwise the guest performance results will vary wildly between runs of the test due to lucky/unlucky NUMA placement, making sensible data analysis impossible. To make it run across separate hosts: $ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py \ --dst-host somehostname > result.json To request that post-copy is enabled, with switchover after 5 iterations $ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py \ --post-copy --post-copy-iters 5 > result.json Once a result.json file is created, a graph of the data can be generated, showing guest workload performance per thread and the migration iteration points: $ ./tests/migration/guestperf-plot.py --output result.html \ --migration-iters --split-guest-cpu result.json To further include host vCPU utilization and overall QEMU utilization $ ./tests/migration/guestperf-plot.py --output result.html \ --migration-iters --split-guest-cpu \ --qemu-cpu --vcpu-cpu result.json NB, the 'guestperf-plot.py' command requires that you have the plotly python library installed. eg you must do $ pip install --user plotly Viewing the result.html file requires that you have the plotly.min.js file in the same directory as the HTML output. This js file is installed as part of the plotly python library, so can be found in $HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/plotly/offline/plotly.min.js The guestperf-plot.py program can accept multiple json files to plot, enabling results from different configurations to be compared. Finally, to run the entire standardized set of comparisons $ ./tests/migration/guestperf-batch.py \ --dst-host somehost \ --mem 4 --cpus 2 \ --src-mem-bind 0 --src-cpu-bind 0,1 \ --dst-mem-bind 1 --dst-cpu-bind 2,3 --output tcp-somehost-4gb-2cpu will store JSON files from all scenarios in the directory named tcp-somehost-4gb-2cpu Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
