2023-07-06target/arm: Define neoverse-v1Peter Maydell
Now that we have implemented support for FEAT_LSE2, we can define a CPU model for the Neoverse-V1, and enable it for the virt and sbsa-ref boards.

2022-12-15target/arm: Add Cortex-A55 CPUTimofey Kutergin
The Cortex-A55 is one of the newer armv8.2+ CPUs; in particular it supports the Privileged Access Never (PAN) feature. Add a model of this CPU, so you can use a CPU type on the virt board that models a specific real hardware CPU, rather than having to use the QEMU-specific "max" CPU type.

2022-12-15hw/arm/virt: Add properties to disable high memory regionsGavin Shan
The 3 high memory regions are usually enabled by default, but they may be not used. For example, VIRT_HIGH_GIC_REDIST2 isn't needed by GICv2. This leads to waste in the PA space. Add properties ("highmem-redists", "highmem-ecam", "highmem-mmio") to allow users selectively disable them if needed. After that, the high memory region for GICv3 or GICv4 redistributor can be disabled by user, the number of maximal supported CPUs needs to be calculated based on 'vms->highmem_redists'. The follow-up error message is also improved to indicate if the high memory region for GICv3 and GICv4 has been enabled or not.

2022-12-15hw/arm/virt: Add 'compact-highmem' propertyGavin Shan
After the improvement to high memory region address assignment is applied, the memory layout can be changed, introducing possible migration breakage. For example, VIRT_HIGH_PCIE_MMIO memory region is disabled or enabled when the optimization is applied or not, with the following configuration. The configuration is only achievable by modifying the source code until more properties are added to allow users selectively disable those high memory regions. pa_bits = 40; vms->highmem_redists = false; vms->highmem_ecam = false; vms->highmem_mmio = true; # qemu-system-aarch64 -accel kvm -cpu host \ -machine virt-7.2,compact-highmem={on, off} \ -m 4G,maxmem=511G -monitor stdio Region compact-highmem=off compact-highmem=on ---------------------------------------------------------------- MEM [1GB 512GB] [1GB 512GB] HIGH_GIC_REDISTS2 [512GB 512GB+64MB] [disabled] HIGH_PCIE_ECAM [512GB+256MB 512GB+512MB] [disabled] HIGH_PCIE_MMIO [disabled] [512GB 1TB] In order to keep backwords compatibility, we need to disable the optimization on machine, which is virt-7.1 or ealier than it. It means the optimization is enabled by default from virt-7.2. Besides, 'compact-highmem' property is added so that the optimization can be explicitly enabled or disabled on all machine types by users.

2022-07-07hw/arm/virt: dt: add rng-seed propertyJason A. Donenfeld
In 60592cfed2 ("hw/arm/virt: dt: add kaslr-seed property"), the kaslr-seed property was added, but the equally as important rng-seed property was forgotten about, which has identical semantics for a similar purpose. This commit implements it in exactly the same way as kaslr-seed. It then changes the name of the disabling option to reflect that this has more to do with randomness vs determinism, rather than something particular about kaslr.

2022-04-22hw/arm/virt: Support TCG GICv4Peter Maydell
Add support for the TCG GICv4 to the virt board. For the board, the GICv4 is very similar to the GICv3, with the only difference being the size of the redistributor frame. The changes here are thus: * calculating virt_redist_capacity correctly for GICv4 * changing various places which were "if GICv3" to be "if not GICv2" * the commandline option handling Note that using GICv4 reduces the maximum possible number of CPUs on the virt board from 512 to 317, because we can now only fit half as many redistributors into the redistributor regions we have defined.

2022-01-18hw/arm: add control knob to disable kaslr_seed via DTBAlex Bennée
Generally a guest needs an external source of randomness to properly enable things like address space randomisation. However in a trusted boot environment where the firmware will cryptographically verify components having random data in the DTB will cause verification to fail. Add a control knob so we can prevent this being added to the system DTB.

2021-08-02docs: Format literals correctlyPeter Maydell
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.
