Hello,
The patch series adds a KVM selftest to validate the behavior of
ARM's generic timer (patch-11). The test programs the timer IRQs
periodically, and for each interrupt, it validates the behaviour
against the architecture specifications. The test further provides
a command-line interface to configure the number of vCPUs, the
period of the timer, and the number of iterations that the test
has to run for.
Patch-12 adds an option to randomly migrate the vCPUs to different
physical CPUs across the system. The bug for the fix provided by
Marc with commit 3134cc8beb69d0d ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Resample HW
pending state on deactivation") was discovered using arch_timer
test with vCPU migrations.
Since the test heavily depends on interrupts, patch-10 adds a host
library to setup ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v3 (GICv3). This
includes creating a vGIC device, setting up distributor and
redistributor attributes, and mapping the guest physical addresses.
Symmetrical to this, patch-9 adds a guest library to talk to the vGIC,
which includes initializing the controller, enabling/disabling the
interrupts, and so on.
Furthermore, additional processor utilities such as accessing the MMIO
(via readl/writel), read/write to assembler unsupported registers,
basic delay generation, enable/disable local IRQs, and so on, are also
introduced that the test/GICv3 takes advantage of (patches 1 through 8).
The patch series, specifically the library support, is derived from the
kvm-unit-tests and the kernel itself.
Regards,
Raghavendra
v2 -> v3:
- Addressed the comments from Ricardo regarding moving the vGIC host
support for selftests to its own library.
- Added an option (-m) to migrate the guest vCPUs to physical CPUs
in the system.
v1 -> v2:
Addressed comments from Zenghui in include/aarch64/arch_timer.h:
- Correct the header description
- Remove unnecessary inclusion of linux/sizes.h
- Re-arrange CTL_ defines in ascending order
- Remove inappropriate 'return' from timer_set_* functions, which
returns 'void'.
