This series aims at satisfying multiple goals:
- allow a VMM to atomically restore a timer offset for a whole VM
instead of updating the offset each time a vcpu get its counter
written
- allow a VMM to save/restore the physical timer context, something
that we cannot do at the moment due to the lack of offsetting
- provide a framework that is suitable for NV support, where we get
both global and per timer, per vcpu offsetting
We fix a couple of issues along the way, both from a stylistic and
correctness perspective. This results in a new per VM KVM API that
allows a global offset to be set at any point in time, overriding both
of the timer counter writebacks.
We also take this opportunity to rework the way IRQs are mapped to
timers, something that was always a bit dodgy.
This has been moderately tested with nVHE, VHE and NV. I do not have
access to CNTPOFF-aware HW, so the jury is still out on that one. Note
that the NV patches in this series are here to give a perspective on
how this gets used.
Note that patch #1 is already on its way upstream as it fixes a bunch
of related issues... Also note that the UAPI has changed from the
initial revision.
I've updated the arch_timer selftest to allow an offset to be provided
from the command line, and fixed a couple of glaring issues along the
way. Colton reported some other issues with this test, but I cannot
reproduce them here, making me think this might be related to CNTPOFF
(but again, I don't have such HW at hand).
Note that this is at best 6.4 material. I have a branch stashed at [0]
and based on 6.3-rc1, as well as a minimal example of the use of the
API at [2] based on kvmtool.
Thanks,
M.
* From v1 [1]:
- Switched from a dual offset to a single one which gets applied to
both virtual and physical counters. Which means that NV doesn't
behave oddly anymore by ignoring the virtual offset.
- Some cosmetic repainting of the UAPI symbols
- Added patches to rework the IRQ mapping to timers
- Patch #1 on its way to Paolo
- Rebased on 6.3-rc1
