[PATCH 00/58] Xen HVM support under KVM


From: David Woodhouse
Subject: [PATCH 00/58] Xen HVM support under KVM
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 13:12:45 +0000

Apologies for the second posting in a week, but I'm away next week and 
(I hope!) we're *so* close now. I won't also repost the [RFC] set on top,
but it's still there in the tree at 
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv
where you can see we're on the cusp of having an actual XenStore and
thus being able to hook up the PV back end drivers. The full platform
support works in this series with emulated drivers though.

For this, the basic platform support phase, not a lot has really changed 
apart from a final few test-induced fixups and review feedback. Although 
I have pulled in the PIRQ support which was previously part of the RFC 
follow-on set, because I think it's basically ready to go now.

I'd been so focused on exercising soft reset by using kexec, that I hadn't
actually spotted that reboot didn't work. Fixed by making all the soft
reset happen from qemu_reset_devices() and a trivial patch to make SeaBIOS
realise it isn't really under Xen:
feef99dd2e1a5dce004d22baf07d716d6ea1344c.camel@infradead.org">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/feef99dd2e1a5dce004d22baf07d716d6ea1344c.camel@infradead.org

Other coverage testing included booting guests with 'noapic' to test the 
legacy PIC support, which resulted in moving the poll for event channel 
GSI deassertion. It worked in kvm_arch_handle_exit() for I/OAPIC mode 
because the EOI broadcast comes that way. But the generic KVM code 
handles normal I/O port access, which includes the PIC, so the guest 
would die in an IRQ storm because it never got cleared. I still want to 
do that notifier on EOI which would help to clean up the VFIO code too, 
but polling works well enough for now.

The PIRQ support allows the guest to redirect emulated GSIs and MSIs to 
a Xen event channel. For GSI, we do what Xen does; in gsi_handler() we 
set the IRQ on the legacy PIC and then *either* the Xen PIRQ or the 
I/OAPIC depending on whether the former wants it.

MSI depends on the weird thing that Xen does where the MSI message 
programmed into the device has a vector of zero, and the PIRQ# encoded 
in the Destination ID field and the high bits of the address. We snoop 
on those MSI table writes even while they're masked, then unmask the MSI 
if the matching PIRQ is bound. Tested with VFIO and emulated devices, 
MSI and MSI-X, both with and without the direct kernel delivery to event 
channels (kvm_xen_has_cap(EVTCHN_2LEVEL)).

v8: 
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-8

 • Instantiate xen pci-platform device automatically.

 • Add documentation.

 • Rename (newly-added) CONFIG_XENFV_PLATFORM to CONFIG_XEN_EMU. That's
   basically what it enables now that the dust is settling on the rest
   of the patch set that comes next.

 • Shift QMP commands to qapi/misc-target.json, other review feedback.

 • Clear upcall vector on soft reset.

 • Wire up soft reset to occur on qemu_devices_reset() (e.g. reboot).

 • Locking tweaks largely resulting from doing soft reset with the BQL.

 • Poll for deassertion of event channel GSI from kvm_arch_post_run()
   instead of kvm_arch_handle_exit().

 • Add PIRQ support.

v7: 
20230116215805.1123514-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230116215805.1123514-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-7

 • Trivial review feedback and collected ack/review tags.

 • Only call qemu_set_irq() under the BQL, which means doing so from a BH
   in some circumstances.

v6: 
20230110122042.1562155-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230110122042.1562155-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-6

 • Require split irqchip to ensure the GSI handling works correctly.

 • Rework monitor commands to be QMP-based.

 • Cache vcpu_info hva to avoid MemoryRegion refcount leaks.

 • Pull in more Xen headers to allow for later PV backend work.

 • Define __XEN_TOOLS__ in hw/xen/xen.h instead of littering C files with
   separate definitions of __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__.

 • Drop debugging hexdump from xenstore processing.

 • Minor fixes in event channel backend handling.

 • Drop "Refactor xen_be_init()" patch. It turns out we're going to do that
   all quite differently, so it's neither necessary nor sufficient.

v5: 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221230121235.1282915-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-5

 • Add backend implementation of event channel support, to parallel the
   libxenevtchn API used by existing backend drivers.

 • Add basic XenStore ring implementation, test migration and kexec.

 • Some kexec/soft reset fixes (clear port pending bits, kernel timer virq).
 
 • Fix race with setting the xen_callback_asserted flag before actually
   doing so, which could lead to it being *cleared* again before we even
   assert it... and leave it asserted for ever.

v4: 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221221010623.1000191-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-4

 • Add soft reset support near the beginning and thread it through the
   rest of the feature enablement.

 • Add PV timer support and advertise XENFEAT_safe_hvm_pvclock.

 • Add basic grant table mapping and [gs]et_version / query_size support.

 • Make xen_platform device build (and work) without CONFIG_XEN.

 • Fix Xen HVM mode not to require --xen-attach.

v3: 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221216004117.862106-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-3

 • Switch back to xen-version as KVM accelerator property, other review
   feedback and bug fixes.

 • Fix Hyper-V coexistence (ick, calling kvm_xen_init() again because
   hyperv_enabled() doesn't return the right answer the first time).

 • Implement event channel support, including GSI/PCI_INTX callback.

 • Implement 32-bit guest support.

v2: 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20221209095612.689243-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/
    
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/qemu.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xenfv-kvm-2

 • Attempt to implement migration support; every Xen enlightenment is
   now recorded either from vmstate_x86_cpu or from a new sysdev device
   created for that purpose. And — I believe — correctly restored, in
   the right order, on vmload.

 • The shared_info page is created as a proper overlay instead of abusing
   the underlying guest page. This is important because Windows doesn't
   even select a GPA which had RAM behind it beforehand. This will be
   extended to handle the grant frames too, in the fullness of time.

 • Set vCPU attributes from the correct vCPU thread to avoid deadlocks.

 • Carefully copy the entire hypercall argument structure from userspace
   instead of assuming that it's contiguous in HVA space.

 • Distinguish between "handled but intentionally returns -ENOSYS" and
   "no idea what that was" in hypercalls, allowing us to emit a
   GUEST_ERROR (actually, shouldn't that change to UNIMP?) on the
   latter. Experience shows that to we'll end up having to intentionally
   return -ENOSYS to a bunch of weird crap that ancient guests still
   attempt to use, including XenServer local hacks that nobody even
   remembers what they were (hvmop 0x101, anyone? Some old Windows
   PV driver appears to be trying to use it...).

 * Drop the '+xen' CPU property and present Xen CPUID instead of KVM
   unconditionally when running in Xen mode. Make the Xen CPUID coexist
   with Hyper-V CPUID as it should, though.

 • Add XEN_EMU and XENFV_MACHINE (the latter to be XEN_EMU||XEN) config
   options. Some more work on this, and the incestuous relationships
   between the KVM target code and the 'platform' code, is going to be
   required but it's probably better to get on with implementing the
   real code so we can see those interactions in all their glory,
   before losing too much sleep over the details here.

 • Drop the GSI-2 hack, and also the patch which made the PCI platform
   device have real RAM (which isn't needed now we have overlays, qv).

 • Drop the XenState and XenVcpuState from KVMState and CPUArchState
   respectively. The Xen-specific fields are natively included in
   CPUArchState now though, for migration purposes. And we don't
   keep a host pointer to the shared_info or vcpu_info at all any
   more. With the kernel doing everything for us, we don't actually
   need them.
