[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: arm64: Assorted vgic-v3 fixes

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

 



Here's a bunch of vgic-v3 fixes I have been sitting on for some
time. None of them are critical, though some are rather entertaining.

The first one is a leftover from the initial Apple-M1 enablement,
which doesn't advertise the GIC support via ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 (which is
expected, as it only has half a GIC...). We address it by forcefully
advertising the feature if the guest has a GICv3.

The second patch is really fun, and shows how things can go wrong when
they are badly specified. The gist of it is that on systems that
advertise ICH_VTR_EL2.SEIS, we need to fallback to the full GICv3
cpuif emulation. The third patch is an good optimisation on the
previous one, and the fourth a direct consequence of the whole thing.

The last patch are more of a harmless oddity: virtual LPIs happen to
have an active state buried into the pseudocode (and only there). Fun!
Nothing goes wrong with that, but we need to align the emulation to
match the pseudocode.

All of this is only targeting 5.16, and I don't plan to backport any
of it.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Dropped the patch that tried to optimise what to do with an active
    LPI. There is unfortunately a bad corner case in the pseudocode
    that prevents it. Oh well.
    
  - Added an extra patch to help in the case where ICH_HCR_EL2.TDS is
    supported, and that we can use that instead of ICH_HCR_EL2.TC to
    trap only ICC_DIR_EL1. Given the performance improvement, it was
    too hard to ignore it.
