[Qemu-arm] [PATCH 00/23] arm: Add virtualization to GICv3, and enable EL


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-arm] [PATCH 00/23] arm: Add virtualization to GICv3, and enable EL2 on 64-bit CPUs
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:36:01 +0000

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 :-)
