[PATCH v3 0/4] Subject: Enable Linux guests on Hyper-V on ARM64

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

 



This series enables Linux guests running on Hyper-V on ARM64
hardware. New ARM64-specific code in arch/arm64/hyperv initializes
Hyper-V, including its synthetic clocks and hypercall mechanism.
Existing architecture independent drivers for Hyper-V's VMbus and
synthetic devices just work when built for ARM64. Hyper-V code is
built and included in the image and modules only if CONFIG_HYPERV
is enabled.

The four patches are organized as follows:
1) Add include files that define the Hyper-V interface as
   described in the Hyper-V Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS), plus
   additional definitions specific to Linux running on Hyper-V.

2) Add core Hyper-V support on ARM64, including hypercalls,
   synthetic clock initialization, and interrupt handlers.

3) Update the existing VMbus driver to generalize interrupt
   management across x86/x64 and ARM64.

4) Make CONFIG_HYPERV selectable on ARM64 in addition to x86/x64.

Some areas of Linux guests on Hyper-V on ARM64 are a work-
in-progress, primarily due to work still being done in Hyper-V:

* Hyper-V on ARM64 currently runs with a 4 Kbyte page size, and only
  supports guests with a 4 Kbyte page size. Because Hyper-V uses
  shared pages to communicate between the guest and the hypervisor,
  there are open design decisions on the page size to use when
  the guest is using 16K/64K pages.  Once those issues are
  resolved and Hyper-V fully supports 16K/64K guest pages, changes
  may be needed in the Linux drivers for Hyper-V synthetic devices.

* Hyper-V on ARM64 does not currently support mapping PCI devices
  into the guest address space. The Hyper-V PCI driver at
  drivers/pci/host/pci-hyperv.c has x86/x64-specific code and is
  not being built for ARM64.

In a few cases, terminology from the x86/x64 world has been carried
over into the ARM64 code ("MSR", "TSC").  Hyper-V still uses the
x86/x64 terminology and has not replaced it with something more
generic, so the code uses the Hyper-V terminology.  This will be
fixed when Hyper-V updates the usage in the TLFS.

Changes in v3:
* Added initialization of hv_vp_index array like was recently
  added on x86 branch [KY Srinivasan]
* Changed Hyper-V ARM64 register symbols to be all uppercase 
  instead of mixed case [KY Srinivasan]
* Separated mshyperv.h into two files, one architecture
  independent and one architecture dependent. After this code
  is upstream, will make changes to the x86 code to use the
  architecture independent file and remove duplication. And
  once we have a multi-architecture Hyper-V TLFS, will do a
  separate patch to split hyperv-tlfs.h in the same way.

* Minor tweaks to rebase to latest linux-next code

Changes in v2:
* Removed patch to implement slow_virt_to_phys() on ARM64.
  Use of slow_virt_to_phys() in arch independent Hyper-V
  drivers has been eliminated by commit 6ba34171bcbd
  ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove use of slow_virt_to_phys()")
* Minor tweaks to rebase to latest linux-next code
