Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a virtual machine creation method, a computing device, and a storage medium.

Background

A virtual machine refers to a complete computer system with complete hardware system functionality, which is emulated by software, running in a completely isolated environment. When creating a virtual machine in a physical computer, it is generally necessary to use part of the hard disk and memory capacity of the physical computer as the hard disk and memory capacity of the virtual machine. The physical computer created with the virtual machine may be referred to as a host machine, and the virtual machine may be understood as a process on the host machine per se.

When the process of the virtual machine is started, a section of memory is allocated in the process address space, the section of memory is only a section of common memory, and has no difference with memories applied by other user processes, and the section of memory is used as a physical memory by the process of the virtual machine. The virtual machine and the host machine share the physical memory, so that the utilization rate of the memory of the whole system can be effectively improved.

In a virtualization scene, virtual machines on a host are not equivalent, some virtual machines bear key services of a service system, some virtual machines only run common services, and for the virtual machines bearing the key services, if a conventional memory allocation scheme is adopted, although the memory utilization rate is possibly guaranteed, the memory privacy of the virtual machines is poor, and the memory read-write efficiency and the security performance are affected by the environment of the whole host, so that the running state of the created virtual machine is poor.

Therefore, a new virtual machine creation method is required to optimize the above process.

Of course, computing device 100 may also be implemented as part of a small-form factor portable (or mobile) electronic device such as a cellular telephone, a digital camera, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a personal media player device, a wireless web-watch device, a personal headset, an application specific device, or a hybrid device that include any of the above functions. And may even be implemented as a server, such as a file server, a database server, an application server, a WEB server, and so forth. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

In an embodiment in accordance with the invention, the computing device 100 is configured to perform a virtual machine creation method 200 in accordance with the invention. Among other things, the application 122 disposed on the operating system contains therein a plurality of program instructions for executing the virtual machine creation method 200 of the present invention, which may instruct the processor 104 to execute the virtual machine creation method 200 of the present invention, such that the computing device 100 creates a virtual machine by executing the virtual machine creation method 200 of the present invention.

The computing device 100 is used as a physical host of the virtual machine to be installed, that is, a host, and applications for creating the virtual machine, such as a multi-os boot program, a simulation processor, and a system virtualization module, are installed in advance on the computing device 100, and these applications are included in the above-mentioned application 122. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating system 120 is a Linux system, and is based on the Linux system, the multiple operating system boot program employs GRUB (GRand Unifieldbootloader), the simulation processor employs qEMU (Quick EMUlator, a set of simulation processors that distribute source codes with a common public license agreement license), and the system virtualization module employs KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine).

In this embodiment, parameters or code adjustments and modifications to the multiple operating system boot program (GRUB), the emulation processor (QEMU), the kernel of the operating system 120, and the system virtualization module (KVM) are required before the virtual machine is created. Specifically, for the GRUB, a key memory configuration parameter named vmplicamem is added, and the configuration format is vmplicamem = size, where the size is any integer value between 2 × 1024M and 256 × 1024M, where M represents megabyte. By increasing the key memory configuration parameters, at the initial stage of starting the operating system 120, before the kernel is not started, the key memory configuration parameters are transmitted to the kernel, and when the kernel is started and the memory is initialized, a memory space with the size is planned, and the memory space is reserved by the kernel so as to be subsequently allocated to the key virtual machine.

For QEMU, a key memory allocation parameter is added and distinguished from a default memory allocation parameter, the key memory allocation parameter is used to control the memory allocation behavior of a key virtual machine, so that the key virtual machine uses the previously reserved physical memory, and the default memory allocation parameter is used to allocate the physical memory to a common virtual machine.

In order to adapt to a key memory configuration parameter vmpincelmem transmitted by GRUB, the kernel code also needs to be modified adaptively, and a vmpincelmem parameter processing function is newly added, so that when the kernel is started and initialized, if the vmpincelmem parameter is identified, the kernel automatically arranges a continuous segment of physical memory, and the size of the physical memory is obtained from the vmpincelmem parameter.

In addition, the way that the KVM implements the virtual machine memory at present is to utilize mmap (a method for mapping a memory file) system call to declare a section of continuous space in the virtual address space of the QEMU main thread for virtual machine physical memory mapping. Because key memory allocation parameters are newly added in the QEMU, the original mmap of the KVM implements the logic of a virtual address space Page Table without creating QEMU and a physical address Extended Page Table (EPT) of a key virtual machine, the logic for creating the two Page tables is all processed in Page-missing interrupt, the default processing mode in the Page-missing interrupt is to randomly allocate physical pages, and then the Page Table is created.

In the code of the KVM, mmap system calls are implemented, supplementing logic that creates a virtual address space page table of QEMU and a physical address extension page table of the key virtual machine using the reserved physical memory. After the page table is created, when the physical address of the host machine is searched through the physical address of the key virtual machine, the previously reserved physical memory can be found, and the random memory allocation caused by page fault interruption can be avoided.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a virtual machine creation method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention. The virtual machine creation method 200 may be performed in a computing device (e.g., the computing device 100 described above). The computing device 100 has installed thereon a simulation processor and a system virtualization module.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210. In step S210, the way in which the virtual machine to be created uses the memory is determined by the simulation processor. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the computing device 100 further has a multi-os boot program installed thereon, the multi-os boot program is newly added with key memory configuration parameters, before determining, by the simulation processor, a memory usage manner of the virtual machine to be created, the method 200 further includes starting the multi-os boot program to start the kernel, and when the kernel is started, generating the reserved memory information and mapping the reserved memory information to the file according to the key memory configuration parameters based on the kernel.

In this embodiment, the reserved memory information may be generated and mapped to the file according to the key memory configuration parameters in the following manner. Firstly, according to key memory configuration parameters transmitted by a multi-operating system starting program, reserving a corresponding continuous physical memory, and then, taking a starting address and an ending address of the physical memory as reserved memory information and storing the reserved memory information to a memory mapping range file. However, considering that the kernel does not necessarily support independent memory configuration, before reserving corresponding continuous physical memory according to the key memory configuration parameters transferred by the multi-os boot program, it is further required to determine whether the kernel supports independent memory configuration, and if the kernel supports independent memory configuration, compile a corresponding code of the independent memory configuration so as to process a memory request operation of the key virtual machine when the key virtual machine is created.

For example, when the multiple operating system boot program, the simulation processor, and the system virtualization module are GRUB, QEMU, and KVM, respectively, the GRUB is first booted to boot the kernel. After the GRUB is started, a newly added key memory configuration parameter vmpincalmem in the GRUB is transmitted to the kernel, and the control right is given to the kernel. And when the kernel is started, parameter identification is carried out, and the vmpysicalmem parameters transmitted by the starting program of the multi-operating system are obtained.

The kernel analyzes the value of the vmsystemem parameter from a static void __ initsetup _ command _ line function, wherein the function is a vmsystemem parameter processing function newly added in the code of the kernel. And then, detecting a compiling switch, checking whether the memory supports the independent memory configuration, and if the kernel supports the independent memory configuration, identifying all the memory sizes by the kernel when the memory is initialized. When the memory is arranged, as the vmpincelmem parameter is identified, a continuous physical memory with the size of the vmpincelmem parameter is automatically emptied, the physical memory is not used for other purposes and is only reserved for a key virtual machine, and the start address and the end address of the physical memory are recorded as reserved memory information.

The physical presence kernel reserved above is described by the following structure:

static struct resource mem_resource = {

.name = "pysicalmem are",

.start = 0,

.end = 0,

.flags = IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM};

}

in the kernel starting stage, when the vmpincelmem parameter is identified, a memory mapping range file is automatically created so as to store the recorded reserved memory information. For example, the memory mapping range file is a/proc/qemup file of a proc file system (a pseudo file system), and the file record format of the file is as follows:

START_ADDR-END_ADDR :DESCRIPTION

where, START _ ADDR represents a memory START address, END _ ADDR represents a memory END address, and describe represents a memory function DESCRIPTION.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the manner in which the virtual machine to be created uses memory can be determined by the simulation processor in the following manner. The method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining a virtual machine configuration command of an analog processor, if the virtual machine configuration command comprises key memory allocation parameters, determining that the memory using mode of the virtual machine to be created is independent use, and if the virtual machine configuration command comprises default memory allocation parameters, determining that the memory using mode of the virtual machine to be created is common use.

In this embodiment, the key memory allocation parameter of the QEMU is-mph, the common memory allocation parameter is m, if the virtual machine configuration command of the QEMU includes-mph, the virtual machine to be created is determined to be the key virtual machine, the memory usage mode is independent usage, that is, completely isolated from the physical memory of the host, if the virtual machine configuration command of the QEMU includes-m, the virtual machine to be created is determined to be the common virtual machine, and the memory usage mode is common usage, that is, the memory usage mode shares the physical memory with the host.

For example, when the virtual machine configuration command is "qemu. -. M1024." it indicates that the way of using the memory by the virtual machine to be created is normal use, and the configured size of the memory of the virtual machine is 1024M, and when the virtual machine configuration command is "-mph", it indicates that the way of using the memory by the virtual machine to be created is independent use, and the configured size of the memory of the virtual machine is the value of the vmpysicalmem parameter.

Subsequently, step S220 is performed, and if the memory usage mode of the virtual machine to be created is independent usage, the virtual machine to be created is used as a key virtual machine, and the reserved memory information is read from the memory mapping range file. According to an embodiment of the invention, the memory usage mode of the virtual machine to be created is independent usage, the virtual machine to be created is used as a key virtual machine, the reserved memory information is read from the/proc/qemump file, and the start address and the end address of the reserved physical memory are obtained through a read function (read function).

In step S230, the kernel space is entered through the vm memory operation file. According to an embodiment of the invention, the virtual machine memory operation file is actually an identification file specific to the key virtual machine, such as a/dev/qemup file, and the/dev/qemup file only appears on the host machine and is specially used as an interface for interaction between the user mode program QEMU and the kernel. When the memory is initialized, a device file such as a/dev/qemumap file is created, the device file conforms to the file format of the Linux device, and the device function is identified through the primary device number and the secondary device number.

As another means different from KVM for interaction between the process and the kernel of QEMU, the use of the/dev/qemumap file can better control the memory management of the key virtual machine, and assist the KVM to complete the memory management of the key virtual machine. Therefore, the/dev/qemup file can be regarded as a link from the user state to the kernel state, and the user can trap into the kernel space by opening the/dev/qemup file, so as to facilitate the processing in the subsequent step S240.

Finally, step S240 is executed, and in the kernel space, the system virtualization module is utilized to allocate the continuous physical memory corresponding to the reserved memory information to the key virtual machine, so as to complete virtual machine creation. Specifically, a virtual address space page table of the simulation processor and a physical address extension page table of the key virtual machine are created by using continuous physical memories corresponding to the reserved memory information, the physical address of the key virtual machine is mapped to the virtual address of the simulation processor, and the physical address extension page table corresponds to the physical memories, so that the reserved physical memories are allocated to the key virtual machine.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the KVM uses/proc/qemup file reserves a continuous physical memory corresponding to the memory information, creates a virtual address space page table of QEMU and a physical address extension page table of the key virtual machine, and maps the physical address of the key virtual machine to the virtual address of QEMU. And the key virtual machine applies for the memory, namely the process of the virtual machine QEMU and the process of establishing corresponding mapping of the kernel mode extended page table.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method 200 further includes, if the memory usage mode of the virtual machine to be created is normal, using the virtual machine to be created as a normal virtual machine, applying for a memory according to the memory usage mode identified by the default memory allocation parameter, and allocating the applied memory to the normal virtual machine to complete virtual machine creation.

In this embodiment, the virtual machine configuration command of the QEMU is "QEMU. -. M1024.", and it is known that the virtual machine configuration command includes a default memory allocation parameter-M, it is determined that the memory usage mode of the virtual machine to be created is normal, the virtual machine to be created is used as a normal virtual machine, the memory size identified by the default memory allocation parameter-M is read to be 1024M, then the memory of 1024M is applied to be allocated to the normal virtual machine, and the association of the virtual machine process address space to the physical memory of the normal virtual machine is completed.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, the process of creating other modules of the virtual machine through QEMU and KVM is similar to or the same as the creation of a conventional virtual machine, and for saving space, the description is omitted here.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a host machine and virtual machine memory relationship, according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, in the host physical memory, a part of the memory is a physical memory that can be used by the host, the host is shared by the normal virtual machine, and a part of the memory is a physical memory reserved for the key virtual machine, and the reserved physical memory is continuous and only allows the key virtual machine to use. The virtual machine address space comprises a virtual machine process address space and a virtual machine physical memory address space, and the physical memory reserved for the key virtual machine is mapped to the virtual machine physical memory address space in the virtual machine address space through memory mapping and then is associated with the physical address of the key virtual machine, so that the physical memory reserved in the host machine can be found through the physical address of the key virtual machine.

According to the virtual machine creation scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, if a key virtual machine is to be created, reserved memory information is read from a memory mapping range file by using the analog processor, the reserved memory information enters the kernel space through the virtual machine memory operation file, and in the kernel space, a system virtualization module is used for allocating continuous physical memory corresponding to the reserved memory information to the key virtual machine, so that a host environment and a virtualization environment are completely isolated from a physical memory level, an absolutely private high-speed memory environment is provided for the key virtual machine, the influence of host memory bottleneck on the memory performance of the key virtual machine is avoided, and the security and the read-write speed of memory sensitive services such as a memory database can be obviously improved. In addition, when the key virtual machine is abnormal, the error site can be quickly positioned and analyzed by means of the mainstream memory analysis technology.
