[PATCH v2 00/12] target/arm: Add vSPE support to KVM guest |
Date: |
Tue, 8 Sep 2020 08:13:18 +0000 |
v2:
- Rebased on Andrew's patches[3]
- Added compat codes to enable vSPE only for the 5.2 and
later machine types [Andrew]
- Changed to use the ID register bit to identify the spe
feature [Andrew/Richard]
- Added the missing field in AcpiMadtGenericCpuInterface
definition [Auger]
- Split the un-tested userspace irqchip support for vSPE
into a separate patch [Andrew]
- Added doc and qtest for vSPE [Andrew]
Many thanks to Andrew, Richard, Philippe and Auger for their comments.
This series add support for SPE(Statistical Profiling Extension)[1]
in KVM guest. It's based on Andrew Murray's kernel KVM patches V2[2],
and has been tested to ensure that guest can use SPE with valid data.
E.g.
In host:
$ ./qemu-system-aarch64 \
-cpu host -M virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3 -nographic -m 2048M \
-kernel ./Image-new \
-initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-rc2+ \
-append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyAMA0" -nodefaults -serial stdio\
-drive if=none,file=./xenial.rootfs.ext4,id=hd0,format=raw \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
In guest:
$ perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1,pct_enable=1/ \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000
$ perf report --dump-raw-trace > spe_buf.txt
The spe_buf.txt should contain similar data as below:
. ... ARM SPE data: size 135944 bytes

If you want to disable the vSPE support, you can use the 'spe=off' cpu
property:
./qemu-system-aarch64 \
-cpu host,spe=off -M virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3 -nographic -m 2048M \
-kernel ./Image-new \
-initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-rc2+ \
-append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyAMA0" -nodefaults -serial stdio\
-drive if=none,file=./xenial.rootfs.ext4,id=hd0,format=raw \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
Note:
(1) Since the kernel patches are still under review, some of the macros
in the header files may be changed after merging. We may need to
update them accordingly. To be specific, if you want to have a try
on this patch series, you needs to replace on the kernel 5.5-rc2 based
series, and do minor changes:
-#define KVM_CAP_ARM_SPE_V1 179
+#define KVM_CAP_ARM_SPE_V1 184
(2) These patches only add vSPE support in KVM mode, for TCG mode, I'm
not sure whether we need to support it.
(3) Just followed the 'sve' property, we only allow this feature to be
removed from CPUs which enable it by default when the host cpu support it.
