Re: [RFC PATCH 0/9] CXL 2.0 Support

Hi Ben,

Trying to bring up the environment using the latest developments as follows:

1. Linux kernel baseline version is cloned using
     git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
   Using master branch.  Merged the 9 CXL linux kernel patches manually and built kernel

2. QEMU baseline version is cloned using
     git clone https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/qemu.git

3. UEFI baseline is cloned using
     git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
   Using master and built

4. Now can run qemu as follows:
     The qcow2 we use is based on Ubuntu 20.10 with updated with kernel from 1) above

     QEMU command:

     sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -nic \
     user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22,hostfwd=tcp::1234-:1234 -machine \
     type=pc-q35-4.0,hmat=on,accel=kvm -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp \
     6,cores=6,threads=1,sockets=1 -m 8G -boot order=d -k 'en-us' -vga virtio \
     -drive file=/home/chris/Downloads/AQCXL/ubuntu_20.qcow,format=qcow2 -drive \
     if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/home/chris/OVMF_CODE.fd \
     -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/home/chris/OVMF_VARS.fd \
     -object memory-backend-file,id=cxl-mem1,share,mem-path=/tmp/cxl-test/cxl,size=512M \
     -device pxb-cxl,id=cxl.0,bus=pcie.0,bus_nr=52,uid=0,len-window-base=1,\
     window-base[0]=0x4c0000000,memdev[0]=cxl-mem1 \
     -device cxl-rp,id=rp0,bus=cxl.0,addr=0.0,chassis=0,slot=0  \
     -device cxl-type3,bus=rp0,memdev=cxl-mem1,id=cxl-pmem0,size=256M  2>&1 | tee -a \
     /home/chris/Downloads/AQCXL/log/qemu.log

   The qemu options are derived from looking at the tests/qtests/cxl-test.c
   along with the -hmat=on which seemed to make sense.

   The system boots and lspci -vvv shows the CXL device is enumerated.  But
   no DOE capability register for CDAT access though (see below).  Otherwise the
   DVSEC registers are present.

   acpidump indicates the CXL0 and CXLM devices but no SRAT or HMAT tables are
   in the dump which is curious.

Questions/Comments:
-------------------
1. Linux
  a. Is there a gitlab for the linux kernel patches for CXL?  This would
     facilitate review and code modifications.

2. UEFI (edk2 from tianocore)
  a. seems to only support CXL 1.1 which means only method #1 (Device
     option ROM) of Coherent Device Attribute Table_1.02 spec
     for CDAT handling is possible now.

     Does device option ROM need to be added to QEMU CXL setup?

     Can we add a CXL 1.1 emulated device?

  b. lspci doesn’t show the existence of the DOE extended capability register
     in the CXL CT3D (needed to support method #2).  Are there more patches?

3. Do you have example user programs to share or better yet the CXL 2.0
   Sec 14.3.6.1 Application Layer/ Transaction layer test for CXL.mem?

4. What are the userspace system APIs for targeting CXL HDM address domain?
   Usually you can mmap a SPA if you know how to look it up.

Chris Browy
