[PATCH v2 00/21] Support SDEI Virtualization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series intends to virtualize Software Delegated Exception Interface
(SDEI), which is defined by DEN0054A. It allows the hypervisor to deliver
NMI-alike event to guest and it's needed by asynchronous page fault to
deliver page-not-present notification from hypervisor to guest. The code
and the required qemu changes can be found from:

   https://github.com/gwshan/linux    ("sdei")
   https://github.com/gwshan/qemu.git ("apf")

The SDEI event is identified by a 32-bits number. Bits[31:24] are used
to indicate the SDEI event properties while bits[23:0] are identifying
the unique number. The implementation takes bits[23:22] to indicate the
owner of the SDEI event. For example, those SDEI events owned by KVM
should have these two bits set to 0b01. Besides, the implementation
supports SDEI events owned by KVM only.

The design is pretty straightforward and the implementation is just
following the SDEI specification. There are several data structures
introduced. Some of the objects have to be migrated by VMM. So their
definitions are split up so that VMM can include their states for
migration.

   struct kvm_sdei_kvm
      Associated with VM and used to track the KVM exposed SDEI events
      and those registered by guest.
   struct kvm_sdei_vcpu
      Associated with vCPU and used to track SDEI event delivery. The
      preempted context is saved prior to the delivery and restored
      after that.
   struct kvm_sdei_event
      SDEI events exposed by KVM so that guest can register and enable.
   struct kvm_sdei_kvm_event
      SDEI events that have been registered by guest.
   struct kvm_sdei_vcpu_event
      SDEI events that have been queued to specific vCPU for delivery.

The series is organized as below:

   PATCH[01]    Introduces template for smccc_get_argx()
   PATCH[02]    Introduces the data structures and infrastructure
   PATCH[03-14] Supports various SDEI related hypercalls
   PATCH[15]    Supports SDEI event notification
   PATCH[16-17] Introduces ioctl command for migration
   PATCH[18-19] Supports SDEI event injection and cancellation
   PATCH[20]    Exports SDEI capability
   PATCH[21]    Adds self-test case for SDEI virtualization

Testing
=======

There are two additional patches in the following repository to create
procfs files allowing inject SDEI event and driver for the guest to
use the SDEI event. Besides, the additional qemu changes are needed
so that guest can detects the SDEI service through ACPI table.

    https://github.com/gwshan/qemu.git ("apf")

The SDEI event is received and handled in the guest after it's injected
through the procfs files on host.

Changelog
=========
v2:
   * Rebased to 5.11.rc6
   * Dropped changes related to SDEI client driver                (Gavin)
