[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/23] GICv3 emulation

[Peter Maydell]

This series implements emulation of the GICv3 interrupt controller.
It is based to some extent on previous patches from Shlomo and
Pavel, but the bulk of it has turned out to be new code. (The
combination of changing the underlying data structures, adding
support for TrustZone and implementing proper GICv3 behaviour rather
than borrowing fragments of GICv2 emulation code meant there wasn't
much left to reuse.) I've tried to reflect this in the various
authorship credits on the patches, but please let me know if you
feel I got anything miscredited one way or the other.

Key points about the GICv3 emulated here:
 * "non-legacy" only, ie system registers and affinity routing
 * TrustZone is implemented
 * no virtualization support
 * only the "core" GICv3, so no LPI support (via ITS or otherwise)

I have included the "support KVM save/restore" patches from Pavel,
reworked to use the new data structures, but they are only RFC
status because the kernel API is not yet final (there are a couple
of loose threads there to be followed up). Those patches are at the
end of the series; I think everything else is in a commitable state
(give or take code review).

Testing: I have confirmed that we can boot a Linux guest kernel,
but not tried any other GIC-using guest code. I've done some light
stress-testing using 'stress', and checked an SMP (2-cpu) boot.

Design: all the code here is in hw/intc/, split into several
files to avoid them being huge. The interface between the CPU
proper and the CPU interface is a bit ad-hoc (you can see the
awkward seams that result from the choice to think of the cpu
i/f as part of the GIC device rather than part of the CPU itself),
but I think that if you put the cpu i/f in the CPU you'd end up
with an ad-hoc interface and awkward seams in the other direction.
The GICv3 device currently assumes it is always connected to all
CPUs; we can change that later to allow some kind of QOM link
property to specify the CPUs explicitly, but I think this is OK
for now (and it's already a pretty huge set of code changes to
have to review).

I include a workaround for a Linux kernel bug which otherwise
prevents booting on the virt board. I've reported the bug to
Marc Zyngier and he should post a kernel patch to fix it shortly,
but I think we'll need to retain the workaround for the benefit
of older kernels (an ugly but pragmatic choice).


Code review, testing, attempts to run guests other than Linux
welcome (UEFI, anybody?)

thanks
