Hi，
Recently I'm trying to use usb keyboard and mouse with QEMU on ARM64. Below is
my QEMU command line,
host and guest kernel both are 4.7.0-rc7+, and I ran it on Hikey board.
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-smp 1 -cpu host -enable-kvm \
-m 256 -M virt \
-k en-us \
-nographic \
-device usb-ehci -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse -usb\
-kernel Image \
-initrd guestfs.cpio.gz \
-append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/ram
earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 rw"
The following guest log shows that usb controller can be probed but the
keyboard and mouse can't be
found.

lsusb shows:
root@genericarmv8:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Besides, I have also tried QEMU TCG without KVM. The guest can successfully
probe usb controller,
keyboard and mouse.
lsusb shows:
root@genericarmv8:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0627:0001
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
So it looks like that usb keyboard and mouse don't work with KVM on QEMU ARM64
while they can work
with TCG. IIUC, all the usb devices are emulated by QEMU, it has nothing with
KVM. So it really
confused me and I'm not familiar with usb devices. Also I have seen someone
else reports this issue
before[1].
