[PATCH v5 00/13] KVM: arm64: PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND support

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

 



The PSCI v1.0 specification describes a call, SYSTEM_SUSPEND, which
allows software to request that the system be placed into the lowest
possible power state and await a wakeup event. This call is optional
in v1.0 and v1.1. KVM does not currently support this optional call.

This series adds support for the PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND call to KVM/arm64.
For reasons best described in patch 8, it is infeasible to correctly
implement PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND (or any system-wide event for that matter)
in a split design between kernel/userspace. As such, this series cheaply
exits to userspace so it can decide what to do with the call. This
series also gives userspace some help to emulate suspension with a new
MP state that awaits an unmasked pending interrupt.

Patches 1-6 are small reworks to more easily shoehorn the new features
into the kernel.

Patch 7 stands up the new suspend MP state, allowing userspace to
emulate the PSCI call.

Patch 8 actually allows userspace to enable the PSCI call, which
requires explicit opt-in for the new KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT type.

Patches 9-12 clean up the way PSCI is tested in selftests to more easily
add new test cases.

Finally, the last patch actually tests that PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND calls
within the guest result in userspace exits.

Applies cleanly to kvmarm/fixes, at the following commit:

  21db83846683 ("selftests: KVM: Free the GIC FD when cleaning up in arch_timer")

This is because there's some patches on the fixes branch that would
cause conflicts with this series otherwise.

Tested with the included selftest and a hacked up kvmtool [1] with support
for the new UAPI.

v4: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20220311174001.605719-1-oupton@xxxxxxxxxx

v4 -> v5:
 - Rebase to kvmarm/fixes (5.18-rc1 + a bit more)
 - Rework system event helper around RISC-V SBI changes (Anup)
 - Don't presume a vCPU has been woken up when it returns from
   kvm_vcpu_wfi(), as there are other situations where the vCPU thread
   unblocks, such as signals. (Reiji)
 - Tighten up comments/docs (Reiji)
