[PATCH v4 0/6] Support writable CPU ID registers from userspace

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

 



This patchset refactors/adds code to support writable per guest CPU ID feature
registers. Part of the code/ideas are from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220419065544.3616948-1-reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx .
No functional change is intended in this patchset. With the new CPU ID feature
registers infrastructure, only writtings of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.[CSV2|CSV3],
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer and ID_DFR0_ELF.PerfMon are allowed as KVM does before.

Writable (Configurable) per guest CPU ID feature registers are useful for
creating/migrating guest on ARM CPUs with different kinds of features.

---

* v3 -> v4
  - Remove IDREG() macro for ID reg access, use simple array access instead
  - Rename kvm_arm_read_id_reg_with_encoding() to kvm_arm_read_id_reg()
  - Save perfmon value in ID_DFR0_EL1 instead of pmuver
  - Update perfmon in ID_DFR0_EL1 and pmuver in ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 atomically
  - Remove kvm_vcpu_has_pmu() in macro kvm_pmu_is_3p5()
  - Improve ID register sanity checking in kvm_arm_check_idreg_table()

* v2 -> v3
  - Rebased to 96a4627dbbd4 (kvmarm/next)
    Merge tag ' https://github.com/oupton/linux tags/kvmarm-6.3' from into kvmarm-master/next
  - Add id registere emulation entry point function emulate_id_reg
  - Fix consistency for ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer and ID_DFR0_EL1.PerfMon
  - Improve the checking for id register table by ensuring that every entry has
    the correct id register encoding.
  - Addressed other comments from Reiji and Marc.

* v1 -> v2
  - Rebase to 7121a2e1d107 (kvmarm/next) Merge branch kvm-arm64/nv-prefix into kvmarm/next
  - Address writing issue for PMUVer
