2011-07-29memory: transaction APIAvi Kivity
Allow changes to the memory hierarchy to be accumulated and made visible all at once. This reduces computational effort, especially when an accelerator (e.g. kvm) is involved. Useful when a single register update causes multiple changes to an address space. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: separate building the final memory map into two stepsAvi Kivity
Instead of adding and deleting regions in one pass, do a delete pass followed by an add pass. This fixes the following case: from: 0x0000-0x0fff ram (a1) 0x1000-0x1fff mmio (a2) 0x2000-0x2fff ram (a3) to: 0x0000-0x2fff ram (b1) The single pass algorithm removed a1, added b2, then removed a2 and a3, which caused the wrong memory map to be built. The two pass algorithm removes a1, a2, and a3, then adds b1. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: add ioeventfd supportAvi Kivity
As with the rest of the memory API, the caller associates an eventfd with an address, and the memory API takes care of registering or unregistering when the address is made visible or invisible to the guest.

2011-07-29memory: I/O address space supportAvi Kivity
Allow registering I/O ports via the same mechanism as mmio ranges. Reviewed-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: late initialization of ram_addrAvi Kivity
For non-RAM memory regions, we cannot tell whether this is an I/O region or an MMIO region. Since the qemu backing registration is different for the two, we have to defer initialization until we know which address space we are in. These shenanigans will be removed once the backing registration is unified with the memory API. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: rename MemoryRegion::has_ram_addr to ::terminatesAvi Kivity
I/O regions will not have ram_addrs, so this is a better name. Reviewed-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: abstract address space operationsAvi Kivity
Prepare for multiple address space support by abstracting away the details of registering a memory range with qemu's flat representation into an AddressSpace object. Note operations which are memory specific are not abstracted, since they will never be called on I/O address spaces anyway.

2011-07-29Internal interfaces for memory APIAvi Kivity
get_system_memory() provides the root of the memory hierarchy. This interface is intended to be private between memory.c and exec.c. If this file is included elsewhere, it should be regarded as a bug (or TODO item). However, it will be temporarily needed for the conversion to hierarchical memory routing.

2011-07-29memory: merge adjacent segments of a single memory regionAvi Kivity
Simple implementations of memory routers, for example the Cirrus VGA memory banks or the 440FX PAM registers can generate adjacent memory regions which are contiguous. Detect these and merge them; this saves kvm memory slots and shortens lookup times. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29memory: implement dirty trackingAvi Kivity
Currently dirty tracking is implemented by passing through all calls to the underlying cpu_physical_memory_*() calls. Reviewed-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-29Hierarchical memory region APIAvi Kivity
The memory API separates the attributes of a memory region (its size, how reads or writes are handled, dirty logging, and coalescing) from where it is mapped and whether it is enabled. This allows a device to configure a memory region once, then hand it off to its parent bus to map it according to the bus configuration. Hierarchical registration also allows a device to compose a region out of a number of sub-regions with different properties; for example some may be RAM while others may be MMIO.
