[PATCH v6 00/18] 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 DEN0054C (v1.1). It allows the hypervisor to
deliver NMI-alike SDEI event to guest and it's needed by Async PF to
deliver page-not-present notification from hypervisor to guest. The code
and the required qemu changes can be found from:

   https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0054/c
   https://github.com/gwshan/linux    ("kvm/arm64_sdei")
   https://github.com/gwshan/qemu     ("kvm/arm64_sdei")

The design is quite strightforward by following the specification. The
(SDEI) events are classified into the shared and private ones according
to their scope. The shared event is system or VM scoped, but the private
event is vcpu scoped. This implementation doesn't support the shared
event because all the needed events are private. Besides, the migration
isn't supported by implementation and it's something to be supported
in future.

There are several objects (data structures) introduced to help on the
event registration, enablement, disablement, unregistration, reset,
delivery and handling.

  * kvm_sdei_exposed_event
    The event which are defined and exposed by KVM. The event can't
    be registered until it's exposed. Besides, all the information
    in this event can't be changed after it's exposed.
    
  * kvm_sdei_event
    The events are created based on the exposed events. Their states
    are changed when hypercalls are received or they are delivered
    to guest for handling.
    
  * kvm_sdei_vcpu_context
    The vcpu context helps to handle events. The interrupted context
    is saved before the event handler is executed, and restored after
    the event handler is to finish.
    
  * kvm_sdei_vcpu
    Place holder for all objects for one particular VCPU.

The patches are organized as below:

  PATCH[01-02] Preparatory work to extend smccc_get_argx() and refactor
               hypercall routing mechanism
  PATCH[03]    Adds SDEI virtualization infrastructure
  PATCH[04-16] Supports various SDEI hypercalls and event handling
  PATCH[17]    Exposes SDEI capability
  PATCH[18]    Adds SDEI selftest case

Testing
=======
[1] The selftest case included in this series works fine. The default SDEI
    event, whose number is zero, can be registered, enabled, raised. The
    SDEI event handler can be invoked.

        Result: OK

[2] There are additional patches in the following repositories to create
    procfs entries, allowing to inject SDEI event from host side. The
    SDEI client in the guest side registers the SDEI default event, whose
    number is zero. Also, the QEMU exports SDEI ACPI table and supports
    migration for SDEI.
