git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints. Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT() macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools. The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this in its format file: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) After adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); Its format file will contain this: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" })" * tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mapped writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space v4l: Export enums used by tracepoints to user space SUNRPC: Export enums in tracepoints to user space mm: tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace net/9p/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to userspace x86/tlb/trace: Export enums in used by tlb_flush tracepoint tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() tracing: Allow for modules to convert their enums to values tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation tracing: Give system name a pointer brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header iwlwifi: Move each system tracepoints to their own header mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own header tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to xhci-hcd tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to kvm-s390 tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to intel-sst ...

2015-04-13tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct pageNamhyung Kim
The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save pfn in order to identify page frames. The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent, userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd) can parse the format easily. So impact on the userspace will also be minimal.

2015-04-08tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their valuesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

Normally the compiler will use the same pointer for a string throughout the file. But there's no guarantee of that happening. Later changes will require that all events have the same pointer to the system string. Name the system string and have all events point to it. Testing this, it did not increases the size of the text, except for the notes section, which should not harm the real size any.

The regmap trace events expect it to point to a valid struct device and feed it to dev_name(): $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/regmap/enable Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000002c pgd = 80004000 [0000002c] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: coda videobuf2_vmalloc CPU: 0 PID: 304 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 4.0.0-rc2+ #9197 Hardware name: Freescale i.MX6 Quad/DualLite (Device Tree) Workqueue: events_freezable thermal_zone_device_check task: 9f25a200 ti: 9f1ee000 task.ti: 9f1ee000 PC is at ftrace_raw_event_regmap_block+0x3c/0xe4 LR is at _regmap_raw_read+0x1bc/0x1cc pc : [<803636e8>] lr : [<80365f2c>] psr: 600f0093 sp : 9f1efd78 ip : 9f1efdb8 fp : 9f1efdb4 r10: 00000004 r9 : 00000001 r8 : 00000001 r7 : 00000180 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 9f00e3c0 r4 : 00000003 r3 : 00000001 r2 : 00000180 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 9f00e3c0 Flags: nZCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel Control: 10c5387d Table: 2d91004a DAC: 00000015 Process kworker/0:2 (pid: 304, stack limit = 0x9f1ee210) Stack: (0x9f1efd78 to 0x9f1f0000) fd60: 9f1efda4 9f1efd88 fd80: 800708c0 805f9510 80927140 800f0013 9f1fc800 9eb2f490 00000000 00000180 fda0: 808e3840 00000001 9f1efdfc 9f1efdb8 80365f2c 803636b8 805f8958 800708e0 fdc0: a00f0013 803636ac 9f16de00 00000180 80927140 9f1fc800 9f1fc800 9f1efe6c fde0: 9f1efe6c 9f732400 00000000 00000000 9f1efe1c 9f1efe00 80365f70 80365d7c fe00: 80365f3c 9f1fc800 9f1fc800 00000180 9f1efe44 9f1efe20 803656a4 80365f48 fe20: 9f1fc800 00000180 9f1efe6c 9f1efe6c 9f732400 00000000 9f1efe64 9f1efe48 fe40: 803657bc 80365634 00000001 9e95f910 9f1fc800 9f1efeb4 9f1efe8c 9f1efe68 fe60: 80452ac0 80365778 9f1efe8c 9f1efe78 9e93d400 9e93d5e8 9f1efeb4 9f72ef40 fe80: 9f1efeac 9f1efe90 8044e11c 80452998 8045298c 9e93d608 9e93d400 808e1978 fea0: 9f1efecc 9f1efeb0 8044fd14 8044e0d0 ffffffff 9f25a200 9e93d608 9e481380 fec0: 9f1efedc 9f1efed0 8044fde8 8044fcec 9f1eff1c 9f1efee0 80038d50 8044fdd8 fee0: 9f1ee020 9f72ef40 9e481398 00000000 00000008 9f72ef54 9f1ee020 9f72ef40 ff00: 9e481398 9e481380 00000008 9f72ef40 9f1eff5c 9f1eff20 80039754 80038bfc ff20: 00000000 9e481380 80894100 808e1662 00000000 9e4f2ec0 00000000 9e481380 ff40: 800396f8 00000000 00000000 00000000 9f1effac 9f1eff60 8003e020 80039704 ff60: ffffffff 00000000 ffffffff 9e481380 00000000 00000000 9f1eff78 9f1eff78 ff80: 00000000 00000000 9f1eff88 9f1eff88 9e4f2ec0 8003df30 00000000 00000000 ffa0: 00000000 9f1effb0 8000eb60 8003df3c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ffc0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ffe0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000013 00000000 ffffffff ffffffff Backtrace: [<803636ac>] (ftrace_raw_event_regmap_block) from [<80365f2c>] (_regmap_raw_read+0x1bc/0x1cc) r9:00000001 r8:808e3840 r7:00000180 r6:00000000 r5:9eb2f490 r4:9f1fc800 [<80365d70>] (_regmap_raw_read) from [<80365f70>] (_regmap_bus_read+0x34/0x6c) r10:00000000 r9:00000000 r8:9f732400 r7:9f1efe6c r6:9f1efe6c r5:9f1fc800 r4:9f1fc800 [<80365f3c>] (_regmap_bus_read) from [<803656a4>] (_regmap_read+0x7c/0x144) r6:00000180 r5:9f1fc800 r4:9f1fc800 r3:80365f3c [<80365628>] (_regmap_read) from [<803657bc>] (regmap_read+0x50/0x70) r9:00000000 r8:9f732400 r7:9f1efe6c r6:9f1efe6c r5:00000180 r4:9f1fc800 [<8036576c>] (regmap_read) from [<80452ac0>] (imx_get_temp+0x134/0x1a4) r6:9f1efeb4 r5:9f1fc800 r4:9e95f910 r3:00000001 [<8045298c>] (imx_get_temp) from [<8044e11c>] (thermal_zone_get_temp+0x58/0x74) r7:9f72ef40 r6:9f1efeb4 r5:9e93d5e8 r4:9e93d400 [<8044e0c4>] (thermal_zone_get_temp) from [<8044fd14>] (thermal_zone_device_update+0x34/0xec) r6:808e1978 r5:9e93d400 r4:9e93d608 r3:8045298c [<8044fce0>] (thermal_zone_device_update) from [<8044fde8>] (thermal_zone_device_check+0x1c/0x20) r5:9e481380 r4:9e93d608 [<8044fdcc>] (thermal_zone_device_check) from [<80038d50>] (process_one_work+0x160/0x3d4) [<80038bf0>] (process_one_work) from [<80039754>] (worker_thread+0x5c/0x4f4) r10:9f72ef40 r9:00000008 r8:9e481380 r7:9e481398 r6:9f72ef40 r5:9f1ee020 r4:9f72ef54 [<800396f8>] (worker_thread) from [<8003e020>] (kthread+0xf0/0x108) r10:00000000 r9:00000000 r8:00000000 r7:800396f8 r6:9e481380 r5:00000000 r4:9e4f2ec0 [<8003df30>] (kthread) from [<8000eb60>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x34) r7:00000000 r6:00000000 r5:8003df30 r4:9e4f2ec0 Code: e3140040 1a00001a e3140020 1a000016 (e596002c) ---[ end trace 193c15c2494ec960 ]--- Fixes: bdb0066df96e (mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices) Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2015-03-12clk: Add tracepoints for hardware operationsStephen Boyd
It's useful to have tracepoints around operations that change the hardware state so that we can debug clock hardware performance and operations. Four basic types of events are supported: on/off events for enable, disable, prepare, unprepare that only record an event and a clock name, rate changing events for clk_set_{min_,max_}rate{_range}(), phase changing events for clk_set_phase() and parent changing events for clk_set_parent().

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features. Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. Powerpc: Nothing yet.

Lots of features have been added since the sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown. Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are already available. o Performance improvements. Most notably, I found a performance bug where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep. The sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up again. It would see that there was still not a full page, and go back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally it would see a full page. This change has been marked for stable.

2015-02-11mm: when stealing freepages, also take pages created by splitting buddy pageVlastimil Babka
When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the following two patches were driven by evaluation. Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock. RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal, so the goal is to minimize these two cases. The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data. First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction, and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

Here, each patch improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse - a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as compaction can move them around. If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which would change compaction pivot.

[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2 This patch (of 3): When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different from the desired migratetype. With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(), it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of: 1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page 2) the fallback pageblock itself 3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X) These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations that could e.g. distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple pageblocks. Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3). Commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that (probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks. Commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of 3) is intended. Commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1). This may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy pages produced by splitting. This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3). During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation. In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful. Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by 47118af076f6 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once again. For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix versions containing 0cbef29a7821.

2015-02-11mm/compaction: add tracepoint to observe behaviour of compaction deferJoonsoo Kim
Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the compaction. It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent user from doing compaction falsely. In other words, even if system has enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to compaction deferring logic. This patch add new tracepoint to understand work of deferring logic. This will also help to check compaction success and fail.

2015-02-11mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/endJoonsoo Kim
We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

2015-02-11mm/compaction: change tracepoint format from decimal to hexadecimalJoonsoo Kim
To check the range that compaction is working, tracepoint print start/end pfn of zone and start pfn of both scanner with decimal format. Since we manage all pages in order of 2 and it is well represented by hexadecimal, this patch change the tracepoint format from decimal to hexadecimal. This would improve readability. For example, it makes us easily notice whether current scanner try to compact previously attempted pageblock or not.

Currently, there are several variables with Boolean type as below: struct f2fs_sb_info { ... int s_dirty; bool need_fsck; bool s_closing; ... bool por_doing; ... } For this there are some issues: 1. there are some space of f2fs_sb_info is wasted due to aligning after Boolean type variables by compiler. 2. if we continuously add new flag into f2fs_sb_info, structure will be messed up. So in this patch, we try to: 1. switch s_dirty to Boolean type variable since it has two status 0/1. 2. merge s_dirty/need_fsck/s_closing/por_doing variables into s_flag. 3. introduce an enum type which can indicate different states of sbi. 4. use new introduced universal interfaces is_sbi_flag_set/{set,clear}_sbi_flag to operate flags for sbi.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt: "During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that pointed out a real bug. During suspend and resume the tlb_flush tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline. As the CPU has been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it can not use RCU protected locks. When tracepoints are activated, they require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause corruption. The solution was to change the tracepoint into a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to determine if the tracepoint should be called or not. If the condition is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed. By adding the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline. After adding this, another bug was discovered. As RCU checks rcu callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously). We found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated. This missed places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have been. To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled, any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint is not enabled. The bug here, is that the check does not take the CONDITION into account. As the condition may prevent tracepoints from being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location. The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if the tracepoint is not enabled" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline tracing: Add condition check to RCU lockdep checks
2015-02-07x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offlineSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline. Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted by LOCKDEP: ...

By converting the tlb_flush tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id()), we can avoid calling RCU protected code when the CPU is offline.

2015-02-06kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameterPaolo Bonzini
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling itself out via kvm_vcpu_block. This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host. In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal, or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache). The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in. With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU. Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around 1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU. The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll, that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU. While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second. Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark, instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick. The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and a smaller variance. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
