This patchset adds support for the Virtualization extensions to QEMU's GICv3 emulation. This was the last missing piece that was stopping us from turning on the EL2 support in the CPU model, so the patchset also adds support for enabling it all on the virt board via the '-machine virtualization=on' option.
The result works well enough to allow booting a KVM outer guest kernel and then running QEMU + an inner guest under KVM inside it. The outer guest KVM also passes the kvm-unit-tests GIC tests. Patches 1-7 have already appeared on list, and 1-5 + 7 have been reviewed. The rest are new. As per mailing list discussion, there is a new CPU property for enabling EL2 which defaults to 'true' (named 'has_el2' to parallel the existing 'has_el3'). There is also a board property on 'virt' which defaults to 'false' (named 'virtualization' to parallel the existing 'secure'). The only other 64-bit board is the ZynqMP -- this patchset makes it always set has_el2 to false, so no change in behaviour. (I imagine the Xilinx folk will want to enable it at some point.) There is no property on the GIC device object to enable virtualization, because this only affects the CPU interface, which in real hardware is part of the CPU itself and which in QEMU we enable and configure via a close coupling between the cpuif code and the CPU code. These patches include changes to the reported device tree info to (a) report the GICv3 maintenance IRQ binding and (b) report use of SMC as the PSCI conduit. I haven't tried to make the equivalent changes to the ACPI tables because Drew said on Monday that he had a cleanup to make in that area, which would change all that code anyway. I'm guessing there'll be a v2 of this series, so we can fix that dependency up properly then. The new state in the GICv3 for the virtualization should not cause a migration compat break because we put it in a subsection which is only sent if virtualization is enabled. Unfortunately to enable EL2 on the 32-bit CPU models we need to do this all over again for the GICv2 emulation :-) Git branch for this: https://git.linaro.org/people/peter.maydell/qemu-arm.git gicv3-virt thanks -- PMM Peter Maydell (23): target-arm: Log AArch64 exception returns hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Remove incorrect usage of fieldoffset hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Don't signal Pending+Active interrupts to CPU hw/arm/virt: add 2.9 machine type hw/arm/virt: Merge VirtBoardInfo and VirtMachineState hw/arm/virt: Rename 'vbi' variables to 'vms' hw/arm/virt: Don't incorrectly claim architectural timer to be edge-triggered hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Add external IRQ lines for VIRQ and VFIQ hw/intc/arm_gic: Add external IRQ lines for VIRQ and VFIQ target-arm: Expose output GPIO line for VCPU maintenance interrupt hw/arm/virt: Wire VIRQ, VFIQ, maintenance irq lines from GIC to CPU target-arm: Add ARMCPU fields for GIC CPU i/f config hw/intc/gicv3: Add defines for ICH system register fields hw/intc/gicv3: Add data fields for virtualization support hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Add accessors for ICH_ system registers hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Implement ICV_ registers which are just accessors hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Implement ICV_ HPPIR, DIR and RPR registers hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Implement ICV_ registers EOIR and IAR hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Implement gicv3_cpuif_virt_update() hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Implement EL2 traps for CPU i/f regs hw/arm/virt: Support using SMC for PSCI target-arm: Enable EL2 feature bit on A53 and A57 hw/arm/virt: Add board property to enable EL2 hw/intc/gicv3_internal.h | 79 +++ include/hw/arm/virt.h | 2 + include/hw/compat.h | 3 + include/hw/intc/arm_gic_common.h | 2 + include/hw/intc/arm_gicv3_common.h | 21 + target-arm/cpu.h | 9 + hw/arm/virt.c | 696 +++++++++++-------- hw/arm/xlnx-zynqmp.c | 2 + hw/intc/arm_gic_common.c | 6 + hw/intc/arm_gicv3.c | 5 + hw/intc/arm_gicv3_common.c | 31 + hw/intc/arm_gicv3_cpuif.c | 1336 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- target-arm/cpu.c | 15 + target-arm/cpu64.c | 8 + target-arm/op_helper.c | 9 + hw/intc/trace-events | 33 + 16 files changed, 1925 insertions(+), 332 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
