This is fine.

We had past discussion about doing in-kernel PLIC.
Generally, in-kernel emulation of an interrupt controller provides the
following benefits:
1. Faster emulation of timer interrupts
2. Faster emulation of ipi interrupts
3. Irqfd for Vhost
4. Pass-through interrupt routing
5. Anything else ??
For RISC-V, timer and ipi interrupts are handled locally by each HART
so in-kernel PLIC emulation won't provide 1) and 2). Also, considering
simplicity of PLIC we can't provide 4) as well. This means 3) might be
the only benefit of in-kernel PLIC.
There are already efforts underway to have a new interrupt-controller
spec which has virtualization support and also supports MSIs. I think
it is OKAY to have PLIC emulated in user-space for now. We will go
for in-kernel emulation and irqfd support for the new interrupt controller.
Does this sound okay ??
(Please talk to Andrew Waterman and John Hauser for more details on
new interrupt-controller spec)
> 3. implmentaion related to the dedicated clock event source proposal.
There are two SBI extensions required:
1. Para-virt CPU steal accounting
This is for accounting stolen time by hypervisors.
2. Para-virt time scaling
This is for migrating Guest/VM across Host with different timer frequency.
We are already doing 1) and we will be proposing an SBI extension for it in
the UnixPlatformSpec mailing list soon.
By "dedicated clock event source" I assume you meant something related
to 2). I would suggest you to join UnixPlatformSpec mailing list on RISC-V
foundation and propose your SBI spec related ideas over there.

> Besides, we are aware of that you are working on irq chip emulation in KVM. Meanwhile, our implementaiton of irqfd and the clock event source has dependency on the irq chip and we may well modify the irq chip emulation code. So could you share with us any ideas, plans or progress regarding your work since there might be potential collision?
Please see my comments on irqfd.

I have started an email discussion about having regular Hypervisor sync-up
call on the UnixPlatformSpec mailing list. We can use this sync-up call for
KVM RISC-V as well.
