OK, I will fix it in the next version.


Add loongarch cpu support, Define new cpu type 'loongarch64'
and implement it's driver functions.

Most of these includes are unnecessary. You only really need

OK, I will delete these unnecessary header files in the next version.

This comment is lifted directly from the ppc64 CPU driver and it
feels out of place here, especially the part about "compatibility
mode", which is extremely ppc64 specific. I'd say just drop it.


OK!


+    if (guest->mode == VIR_CPU_MODE_CUSTOM)

This doesn't seem to be needed for a basic CPU driver. If you drop
it, this will end up looking exactly the way the RISC-V CPU driver
originally did, and that worked just fine until it was later
improved. So I'd say just drop it. We can add more features to the
CPU driver later.

OK!I will drop it in the next version.

The entries here are grouped five by five, so as you add loongarch64
in the middle you're going to have to reorganize all the ones coming
after it. Same for the virarch.c part and preferredMachines in the
QEMU driver.

OK, I will rearrange all entries after loongarch64 in a 5-by-5 grouping in the next version.

Same for the virarch.c part and preferredMachines in the QEMU driver.

There doesn't seem to be a Wikipedia entry for loongarch64 itself,
but perhaps it would be appropriate to link to

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#LoongArch

instead. There are similar examples in the file already.


OK, I will modify the loongarch64 entry in the next patch release as follows:

VIR_ARCH_LOONGARCH64,  /* LoongArch   64 LEhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#LoongArch  */

In this commit you're just adding the architecture, and it's good
practice to touch the individual drivers as little as possible while
doing so.

So while you're forced to add a new case to the switch to keep things
building, leave out the actual logic for now and make it a no-action
entry, such as the existing ARMV7B, CRIS, etc.

In a later patch, when you actually implement loongarch64 support in
the QEMU driver, you can add this logic. When you do, please also set

   addDefaultUSB = false;
   addDefaultMemballoon = false;

The default behavior, which is to add these devices automatically for
all new domains, mainly exists to ensure backwards compatibility in
the context of x86, and we've moved away from it for architectures
that have been introduced more recently, such as aarch64 and RISC-V.

After I added the following logic to loongarch,
I found that creating a loongarch virtual machine no longer
creates a USB keyboard and mouse by default.

addDefaultUSB = false;

I tried to create the aarch64 virt virtual machine and found that it did not create a USB keyboard and mouse and
did not have spice graphics only serial port. In the case of aarch64,
I think it is reasonable to have no USB keyboard and mouse,
but loongarch64 can launch a graphical interface.
How do We control a virtual machine without a USB keyboard and mouse in the graphical interface?
I don't quite understand what's the point of adding it.


As above, with the following logic, the memory space in guest os will not scale.

addDefaultMemballoon = false;

In this case too, it would be slightly nicer if you set this to NULL
as part of this patch and changed it to the actual value in the patch
where QEMU support is implemented.

OK!


Thanks,

Xianglai.
