[PATCH 0/32] KVM: MIPS: Add VZ support

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

 



This series is based on kvm/next (Linus' 4.11 KVM merge) with my recent
hypercall series (which will likely be revised).
My hope is to take this series via the MIPS KVM tree for 4.12, with a
topic branch containing the MIPS architecture changes (patches 1-6).

This series implements basic support for the MIPS Virtualization Module
(generally known as VZ) in KVM, which adds a new "guest" processor mode
with a partial guest Cop0 state and guest TLB to complement the existing
"root" (host) modes & state, allowing for far fewer traps to the
hypervisor compared to the existing Trap & Emulate implementation of KVM
for MIPS, as well as fully virtualizing the guest virtual memory space
to run unmodified kernels.

The MIPS32 and MIPS64 VZ architecture documentation can be found here:

http://wiki.prplfoundation.org/w/images/f/fe/MD00847-2B-VZMIPS64-AFP-01.06.pdf

We primarily support the ImgTec P5600, P6600, and I6400 cores so far,
including the following VZ / guest hardware features:
- MIPS32 and MIPS64, r5 (VZ requires r5 or later) and r6
- TLBs with GuestID (IMG cores) or Root ASID Dealias (Octeon III)
- Shared physical root/guest TLB (IMG cores)
- FPU / MSA
- Cop0 timer (up to 1GHz for now due to soft timer limit)
- Segmentation control (EVA)
- Hardware page table walker (HTW) both for root and guest TLB

Limitations:
- Support for Cavium Octeon III will follow shortly in a separate series
- Perf counters and watch registers not exposed to guest in this series
  (the patches require some further cleanup)
- Guest microMIPS not supported yet (e.g. M5150)
- Guest XPA not supported yet (e.g. P5600)

We start with some preliminary MIPS changes in patches 1-6, including
some MAAR definition refactoring for XPA and some new guest capabilities
and accessors.

Patches 7-16 make preliminary VZ changes in KVM, including 64-bit MMIO
support, the VZ and 64BIT KVM capabilities, and new implementation
callbacks used by the VZ implementation.

Patches 17-22 get into some meatier KVM changes for VZ, such as
abstracting guest register access and adding VZ entry and TLB management
code.

Patches 23-24 add the bulk of the core VZ support and enable it in the
build system.

Patches 25-30 then go on to implement support for various optional
architectural features, such as segmentation control (EVA) and hardware
page table walkers (HTW). Context switching of the guest state may be
incomplete on certain cores without these patches if the features in
question can't be disabled in the guest context.

Finally patches 31-32 implement support for features that can be easily
disabled at runtime, namely the hardware guest timer (which can be
emulated in software before patch 31) and tracing of guest mode changes
using VZ's CP0_GuestCtl0.MC bit.
