[PATCH v6 00/12] 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 1-5 are small reworks to more easily shoehorn the new features
into the kernel.

Patch 6 stands up the new suspend MP state, allowing userspace to
emulate the PSCI call.

Patch 7 actually allows userspace to enable the PSCI call, which
requires explicit opt-in for the new KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT type.

Patches 8-11 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 5.18-rc5. I'm sure you're already aware of it Marc,
but for the sake of everyone else there's some light conflict with
Raghu's patches that you've got queued up [1].

Tested with the included selftest and a hacked up kvmtool [2] with support
for the new UAPI.

v5: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20220311174001.605719-1-oupton@xxxxxxxxxx

v5 -> v6:
  - Rebase to 5.18-rc5
  - Collect Reiji's R-b's
  - Drop the system_event helper. Since we now have variadic data
    returning to userspace it doesn't make much sense to roll it up into
    a helper. Meh.
  - Put back the pointless kvm_vcpu_request() in kvm_arm_vcpu_suspend().
    We'll rip out the reliance on vCPU requests for power state later
    on. It is entirely benign, even when a vCPU targets itself.
