2012-01-04vmstate, memory: decouple vmstate from memory APIAvi Kivity
Currently creating a memory region automatically registers it for live migration. This differs from other state (which is enumerated in a VMStateDescription structure) and ties the live migration code into the memory core. Decouple the two by introducing a separate API, vmstate_register_ram(), for registering a RAM block for migration. Currently the same implementation is reused, but later it can be moved into a separate list, and registrations can be moved to VMStateDescription blocks. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2011-11-18pseries: Correct RAM size check for SLOFDavid Gibson
The SLOF firmware used on the pseries machine needs a reasonable amount of (guest) RAM in order to run, so we have a check in the machine init function to check that this is available. However, SLOF runs in real mode (MMU off) which means it can only actually access the RMA (Real Mode Area), not all of RAM. In many cases the RMA is the same as all RAM, but when running with Book3S HV KVM on PowerPC 970, the RMA must be especially allocated to be (host) physically contiguous. In this case, the RMA size is determined by what the host admin allocated at boot time, and will usually be less than the whole guest RAM size. This patch corrects the test to see if SLOF has enough memory for this case. In addition, more recent versions of SLOF that were committed earlier don't need quite as much memory as earlier versions. Therefore, this patch also reduces the amount of RAM we require to run SLOF. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2011-11-11pseries: Fix initialization of sPAPREnvironment structureDavid Gibson
Since we added PCI support to the pseries machine, we include a qlist of PCI host bridges in the sPAPREnvironment structure. However this list was never properly initialized it. Somehow we got away with this until some other recent change broke it, and we now segfault immediately on startup. This patch adds the required QLIST_INIT(), and while we're at it makes sure we initialize the rest of the sPAPREnvironment structure to 0, to avoid future nasty surprises.

2011-10-31pseries: Add partial support for PCIDavid Gibson
This patch adds a PCI bus to the pseries machine. This instantiates the qemu generic PCI bus code, advertises a PCI host bridge in the guest's device tree and implements the RTAS methods specified by PAPR to access PCI config space. It also sets up the memory regions we need to provide windows into the PCI memory and IO space, and advertises those to the guest. However, because qemu can't yet emulate an IOMMU, which is mandatory on pseries, PCI devices which use DMA (i.e. most of them) will not work with this code alone. Still, this is enough to support the virtio_pci device (which probably _should_ use emulated PCI DMA, but is specced to use direct hypervisor access to guest physical memory instead).

2011-10-30pseries: Correct vmx/dfp handling in both KVM and TCG casesDavid Gibson
Currently, when KVM is enabled, the pseries machine checks if the host CPU supports VMX, VSX and/or DFP instructions and advertises accordingly in the guest device tree. It does this regardless of what CPU is selected on the command line. On the other hand, when in TCG mode, it never advertises any of these facilities, even basic VMX (Altivec) which is supported in TCG. Now that we have a -cpu host option for ppc, it is fairly straightforward to fix both problems. This patch changes the -cpu host code to override the basic cpu spec derived from the PVR with information queried from the host avout VMX, VSX and DFP capability. The pseries code then uses the instruction availability advertised in the cpu state to set the guest device tree correctly for both the KVM and TCG cases.

2011-10-30pseries: Under kvm use guest cpu = host cpu by defaultDavid Gibson
Now that we've implemented -cpu host for ppc, this patch updates the pseries machine to use the host cpu as the guest cpu by default when running under KVM. This is important because under KVM Book3S-HV the guest cpu _cannot_ be of a different type to the host cpu (at the moment KVM Book3S-HV will silently virtualize the host cpu instead of whatever was requested, but in future it is likely to simply refuse to run the VM if a cpu model other than the host's is requested).

2011-10-30pseries: Add device tree properties for VMX/VSX and DFP under kvmDavid Gibson
Sufficiently recent PAPR specifications define properties "ibm,vmx" and "ibm,dfp" on the CPU node which advertise whether the VMX vector extensions (or the later VSX version) and/or the Decimal Floating Point operations from IBM's recent POWER CPUs are available. Currently we do not put these in the guest device tree and the guest kernel will consequently assume they are not available. This is good, because they are not supported under TCG. VMX is similar enough to Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would both require significant work to support in TCG. However, when running under kvm on a host which supports these instructions, there's no reason not to let the guest use them. This patch, therefore, checks for the relevant support on the host CPU and, if present, advertises them to the guest as well.

2011-10-30pseries: Allow KVM Book3S-HV on PPC970 CPUSDavid Gibson
At present, using the hypervisor aware Book3S-HV KVM will only work with qemu on POWER7 CPUs. PPC970 CPUs also have hypervisor capability, but they lack the VRMA feature which makes assigning guest memory easier. In order to allow KVM Book3S-HV on PPC970, we need to specially allocate the first chunk of guest memory (the "Real Mode Area" or RMA), so that it is physically contiguous. Sufficiently recent host kernels allow such contiguous RMAs to be allocated, with a kvm capability advertising whether the feature is available and/or necessary on this hardware. This patch enables qemu to use this support, thus allowing kvm acceleration of pseries qemu machines on PPC970 hardware.

2011-10-30pseries: Support SMT systems for KVM Book3S-HVDavid Gibson
Alex Graf has already made qemu support KVM for the pseries machine when using the Book3S-PR KVM variant (which runs the guest in usermode, emulating supervisor operations). This code allows gets us very close to also working with KVM Book3S-HV (using the hypervisor capabilities of recent POWER CPUs). This patch moves us another step towards Book3S-HV support by correctly handling SMT (multithreaded) POWER CPUs. There are two parts to this: * Querying KVM to check SMT capability, and if present, adjusting the cpu numbers that qemu assigns to cause KVM to assign guest threads to cores in the right way (this isn't automatic, because the POWER HV support has a limitation that different threads on a single core cannot be in different guests at the same time). * Correctly informing the guest OS of the SMT thread to core mappings via the device tree.

Paulo Bonzini changed the original spapr code, which manually assigned irq numbers for each virtual device, to allocate them automatically from the device initialization. That allowed spapr virtual devices to be constructed with -device, which is a good start. However, the way that patch worked doesn't extend nicely for the future when we want to support devices other than sPAPR VIO devices (e.g. virtio and PCI).

2011-10-06pseries: Implement hcall-bulk hypervisor interfaceDavid Gibson
This patch adds support for the H_REMOVE_BULK hypercall on the pseries machine. Strictly speaking this isn't necessarym since the kernel will only attempt to use this if hcall-bulk is advertised in the device tree, which previously it was not. Adding this support may give a marginal performance increase, but more importantly it reduces the differences between the emulated machine and an existing PowerVM or kvm system, both of which already implement hcall-bulk.

2011-10-06pseries: More complete WIMG validation in H_ENTER codeDavid Gibson
Currently our implementation of the H_ENTER hypercall, which inserts a mapping in the hash page table assumes that only ordinary memory is ever mapped, and only permits mapping attribute bits accordingly (WIMG==0010). However, we intend to start adding emulated IO to the pseries platform (and real IO with PCI passthrough on kvm) which means this simple test will no longer suffice. This patch extends the h_enter validation code to check if the given address is a RAM address. If it is it enforces WIMG==0010, otherwise it assumes that it is an IO mapping and instead enforces WIMG=010x.

2011-10-06pseries: interrupt controller should not have a 'reg' propertyDavid Gibson
The interrupt controller presented in the device tree for the pseries machine is manipulated by the guest only through hypervisor calls. It has no real or emulated registers for the guest to access. However, it currently has a bogus 'reg' property advertising a register window. Moreover, this property has an invalid format, being a 32-bit zero, when the #address-cells property on the root bus indicates that it needs a 64-bit address. Since the guest never attempts to manipulate the node directly, it works, but it is ugly and can cause warnings when manipulating the device tree in other tools (such as future firmware versions). This patch, therefore, corrects the problem by entirely removing the interrupt-controller node's 'reg' property.

Future devices we will be adding to the pseries machine (e.g. PCI) will need nodes in the device tree which explicitly reference the top-level interrupt controller via interrupt-parent or interrupt-map properties. In order to do this, the interrupt controller node needs an assigned phandle. This patch adds the appropriate property, in preparation.

2011-10-06PPC: SPAPR: Use KVM function for time infoAlexander Graf
One of the things we can't fake on PPC is the timer speed. So we need to extract the frequency information from the host and put it back into the guest device tree.

2011-10-06spapr: proper qdevificationPaolo Bonzini
Right now the spapr devices cannot be instantiated with -device, because the IRQs need to be passed to the spapr_*_create functions. Do this instead in the bus's init wrapper. This is particularly important with the conversion from scsi-disk to scsi-{cd,hd} that Markus made. After his patches, if you specify a scsi-cd device attached to an if=none drive, the default VSCSI controller will not be created and, without qdevification, you will not be able to add yours.

2011-05-09Place pseries vty devices at addresses more similar to existing machinesDavid Gibson
Currently the qemu pseries machine numbers its virtual serial devices from 0. However, existing pSeries machines running pHyp number them from 0x30000000. In theory these indices are arbitrary, since everything necessary for the kernel to find them is advertised in the device tree. However the debian installer, at least, incorrectly looks for a device named vty@30... to determine whether to use the hypervisor console. Therefore this patch moves the numbers we use to match the existing pHyp practice, in order to workaround broken userspace apps of this type.

2011-04-08Delay creation of pseries device tree until resetDavid Gibson
At present, the 'pseries' machine creates a flattened device tree in the machine->init function to pass to either the guest kernel or to firmware. However, the machine->init function runs before processing of -device command line options, which means that the device tree so created will be (incorrectly) missing devices specified that way. Supplying a correct device tree is, in any case, part of the required platform entry conditions. Therefore, this patch moves the creation and loading of the device tree from machine->init to a reset callback. The setup of entry point address and initial register state moves with it, which leads to a slight cleanup. This is not, alas, quite enough to make a fully working reset for pseries. For that we would need to reload the firmware images, which on this machine are loaded into RAM. It's a step in the right direction, though.

2011-04-08pseries: Abolish envs arrayDavid Gibson
Currently the pseries machine init code builds up an array, envs, of CPUState pointers for all the cpus in the system. This is kind of pointless, given the generic code already has a perfectly good linked list of the cpus. In addition, there are a number of places which assume that the cpu's cpu_index field is equal to its index in this array. This is true in practice, because cpu_index values are just assigned sequentially, but it's conceptually incorrect and may not always be true. Therefore, this patch abolishes the envs array, and explicitly uses the generic cpu linked list and cpu_index values throughout.

2011-04-01Add SLOF-based partition firmware for pSeries machine, allowing more boot ↵David Gibson
options Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the -kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. This means booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible. This patch addresses this limitation by inserting a within-partition firmware image (derived from the "SLOF" free Open Firmware project). If -kernel is not specified, qemu will now load the SLOF image, which has access to the qemu boot device list through the device tree, and can boot from any of the usual virtual devices. In order to support the new firmware, an extension to the emulated machine/hypervisor is necessary. Unlike Linux, which expects multi-CPU entry to be handled kexec() style, the SLOF firmware expects only one CPU to be active at entry, and to use a hypervisor RTAS method to enable the other CPUs one by one. This patch also implements this 'start-cpu' method, so that SLOF can start the secondary CPUs and marshal them into the kexec() holding pattern ready for entry into the guest OS. Linux should, and in the future might directly use the start-cpu method to enable initially disabled CPUs, but for now it does require kexec() entry.

2011-04-01Implement PAPR VPA functions for pSeries shared processor partitionsDavid Gibson
Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single partition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions. In order to better support shared processor partitions (splpar), PAPR defines the "VPA" (Virtual Processor Area), a shared memory communication channel between the hypervisor and partitions. There are also two additional shared memory communication areas for specialized purposes associated with the VPA. A VPA is not essential for operating an splpar, though it can be necessary for obtaining accurate performance measurements in the presence of runtime partition switching. Most importantly, however, the VPA is a prerequisite for PAPR's H_CEDE, hypercall, which allows a partition OS to give up it's shared processor timeslices to other partitions when idle. This patch implements the VPA and H_CEDE hypercalls in qemu. We don't implement any of the more advanced statistics which can be communicated through the VPA. However, this is enough to make normal pSeries kernels do an effective power-save idle on an emulated pSeries, significantly reducing the host load of a qemu emulated pSeries running an idle guest OS.

2011-04-01Implement the PAPR (pSeries) virtualized interrupt controller (xics)David Gibson
PAPR defines an interrupt control architecture which is logically divided into ICS (Interrupt Control Presentation, each unit is responsible for presenting interrupts to a particular "interrupt server", i.e. CPU) and ICS (Interrupt Control Source, each unit responsible for one or more hardware interrupts as numbered globally across the system). All PAPR virtual IO devices expect to deliver interrupts via this mechanism. In Linux, this interrupt controller system is handled by the "xics" driver. On pSeries systems, access to the interrupt controller is virtualized via hypercalls and RTAS methods. However, the virtualized interface is very similar to the underlying interrupt controller hardware, and similar PICs exist un-virtualized in some other systems. This patch implements both the ICP and ICS sides of the PAPR interrupt controller. For now, only the hypercall virtualized interface is provided, however it would be relatively straightforward to graft an emulated register interface onto the underlying interrupt logic if we want to add a machine with a hardware ICS/ICP system in the future. There are some limitations in this implementation: it is assumed for now that only one instance of the ICS exists, although a full xics system can have several, each responsible for a different group of hardware irqs. ICP/ICS can handle both level-sensitve (LSI) and message signalled (MSI) interrupt inputs. For now, this implementation supports only MSI interrupts, since that is used by PAPR virtual IO devices.

2011-04-01Implement assorted pSeries hcalls and RTAS methodsDavid Gibson
This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods to the pSeries platform emulation.

The support includes a hack to make this RTAS call respond on the normal token value present on real hardware, since some early debugging tools just assume this value without checking the device tree. * 'get-time-of-day' rtas call This one just takes the host real time, converts to the PAPR described format and returns it to the guest. * 'power-off' rtas call This one shuts down the emulated system. * H_DABR hypercall On pSeries, the DABR debug register is usually a hypervisor resource and virtualized through this hypercall. If the hypercall is not present, Linux will under some circumstances attempt to manipulate the DABR directly which will fail on this emulated machine. This stub implementation is enough to stop that behaviour, although it doesn't actually implement the requested DABR operations as yet.

2011-04-01Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machinesDavid Gibson
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements a number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor privilege. For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall which actually implements the various RTAS functions. This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries machine. A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which looks up available RTAS services in a table.

2011-04-01Virtual hash page table handling on pSeries machineDavid Gibson
On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full system partitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware page table. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest must manipulate it with hypercalls. However, our current pSeries emulation more closely resembles the old style where the guest must set up and handle the pagetables itself. This patch converts it to act like a modern partition. This involves two things: first, the hash translation path is modified to permit the has table to be stored externally to the emulated machine's RAM. The pSeries machine init code configures the CPUs to use this mode. Secondly, we emulate the PAPR hypercalls for manipulating the external hashed page table.

This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu. This aims to emulate a logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the "PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document. This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine and PAPR hypercall emulation. So far only one hypercall is present - H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available. Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style. The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls. The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt. The machine can (so far) only be booted with -kernel - i.e. no partition firmware is provided.
