[PATCH v5 00/13] KVM/ARM Implementation

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

 



The following series implements KVM support for ARM processors,
specifically on the Cortex A-15 platform.

The patch series applies to commit 0ec4044a029b5ba9ed6dc7c52390c25da717e184
on Catalin Marinas' linux-arm-arch tree.

This is Version 5 of the patch series, but the first two versions
were reviewed outside of the KVM mailing list. Changes can also be
pulled from:
 git://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm.git kvm-a15-v5

The implementation is broken up into a logical set of patches, the first
one containing a skeleton of files, makefile changes, the basic user
space interface and KVM architecture specific stubs.  Subsequent patches
implement parts of the system as listed:
 1.  Skeleton
 2.  Identity Mapping for Hyp mode
 3.  Hypervisor initialization
 4.  Memory virtualization setup (hyp mode mappings and 2nd stage)
 5.  Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspace
 6.  World-switch implementation and Hyp exception vectors
 7.  Emulation framework and CP15 emulation
 8.  Handle guest user memory aborts
 9.  Handle guest MMIO aborts
 10. Support guest wait-for-interrupt instructions.
 11. Initial SMP host support (incomplete!)
 12. Fix guest view of MPIDR
 13. Initial SMP guest support (incomplete!)

Testing:
Limited testing, but have run GCC inside guest, which compiled a small
hello-world program, which was successfully run. Hardware still
unavailable, so all testing has been done on ARM Fast Models.

For a guide on how to set up a testing environment and try out these
patches, see:
 http://www.virtualopensystems.com/media/pdf/kvm-arm-guide.pdf
 https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/A15OnFastModels

Still on the to-do list:
 - Reuse VMIDs
 - Fix SMP host support
 - Fix SMP guest support
 - Support guest Thumb mode for MMIO emulation
 - Further testing
 - Performance improvements

Changes since v4:
 - Addressed reviewer comments from v4
    * cleanup debug and trace code
    * remove printks
    * fixup kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
    * add trace details to mmio emulation
 - Fix from Marc Zyngier: Move kvm_guest_enter/exit into non-preemptible
   section (squashed into world-switch patch)
 - Cleanup create_hyp_mappings/remove_hyp_mappings from Marc Zyngier
   (squashed into hypervisor initialization patch)
 - Removed the remove_hyp_mappings feature. Removing hypervisor mappings
   could potentially unmap other important data shared in the same page.
 - Removed the arm_ prefix from the arch-specific files.
 - Initial SMP host/guest support

Changes since v3:
 - v4 actually works, fully boots a guest
 - Support compiling as a module
 - Use static inlines instead of macros for vcpu_reg and friends
 - Optimize kvm_vcpu_reg function
 - Use Ftrace for trace capabilities
 - Updated documentation and commenting
 - Use KVM_IRQ_LINE instead of KVM_INTERRUPT
 - Emulates load/store instructions not supported through HSR
  syndrome information.
 - Frees 2nd stage translation tables on VM teardown
 - Handles IRQ/FIQ instructions
 - Handles more CP15 accesses
 - Support guest WFI calls
 - Uses debugfs instead of /proc
 - Support compiling in Thumb mode

Changes since v2:
 - Performs world-switch code
 - Maps guest memory using 2nd stage translation
 - Emulates co-processor 15 instructions
 - Forwards I/O faults to QEMU.
