This series implements full support for GICv4 in KVM, bringing direct
injection of MSIs to arm and arm64, assuming you have the right
hardware (which is quite unlikely).
To get an idea of the design, I'd recommend you start with commit
7954907bedaf as well as patch #26, which try to shed some light on the
approach that I've taken. And before that, please digest some of the
GICv3/GICv4 architecture documentation[1] (less than 800 pages!). Once
you feel reasonably insane, you'll be in the right mood to read the
code (no, I didn't bother changing the above, I already hit LWN/QotW
once).
Now that the low-level irqchip code has been merged, what we have here
is mostly the KVM-specific part. I've lifted two of Eric's patches
(having slightly changed one of them) as they form the base of this
series.
The stack has now been quite heavily bashed on a Huawei D05 box using
an Intel I350 Ethernet card and passing a VF into the guest, using
QEMU as the setup userspace (although this platform needs workarounds
that I've pushed out separately). It has also been *very lightly*
tested on an arm64 model, with a PCI virtio block device passed from
the host to a guest (using kvmtool and Jean-Philippe Brucker's
excellent VFIO support patches[2]).
I've pushed out a branch based on 4.14-rc6 containing the dependencies:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git kvm-arm64/gicv4-kvm
* From v4:
- Fixed bug where a newly mapped VLPI could fire without having had
its properties setup yet. Oops.
- Changed the error code on attempt to save an ITS using VLPIs to
-ACCES, and documented the new error code.
- Dropped the patch trying to prevent a mix of GICv3 and GICv4
CPUs. This is a broken configuration, and trying to detect it
without making a mess is hard.
- Added the patch disabling setting the doorbell affinity from
userspace as part of this series
- Rebased the series on 4.14-rc6, but it should apply just the
same on something older
* From v3:
- Lots of cleanups following Christoffer's review
- Got rid of all of the irqchip code (well, merged it)
- Picked the minimal set of patches from Eric to get this working
- Prevent VM save if using GICv4
- Rebased on top of 4.14-rc3
* From v2:
- Lots of fixes all over the map (the doorbell code was amazingly
wrong, both at the GICv4 level and in KVM)
- KVM GICv4 enablement is now gated by a command-line option and
defaults to off
- Now properly deals with ordering of vITS creation
- Some debugging features
- More documentation so that I can forget what this is all about
- Huawei D05 quirks
* From v1:
- The bulk of the 30-something initial patches have seen countless
bugs being fixed, and some key data structures have been subtly
tweaked (or killed altogether). They are still quite similar to
what I had in v1 though.
- The whole KVM code is brand new and as I said above, only lightly
tested.
- Collected a bunch a R-bs from Thomas and Eric (many thanks, guys).
