[PATCH v4 0/9] single-binary: hw/virtio

[PATCH v4 0/9] single-binary: hw/virtio

[Pierrick Bouvier]

This series eliminates target specifics in hw/virtio and replace them with
runtime functions where needed.

Performance has been measured with this automated fio benchmark, with
original instructions from Stefan [1].

$ git clone https://github.com/pbo-linaro/qemu-linux-stack -b x86_64_io_benchmark
$ cd qemu-linux-stack
$ ./build.sh
$ ./run.sh /path/to/qemu-system-x86_64

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20260202185233.GC405548@fedora/

Results are on 20 runs and expressed in kIOPS:
reference: mean=239.2 std_dev=3.48
with_series: mean=238.5 std_dev=3.46

Performance is on par, and within standard deviation.

[Pierrick Bouvier]

From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org>

VirtIODevice::access_is_big_endian boolean field, initialized on
device reset, represents whether load/store accesses are ordered
using big endianness.

[PATCH v4 3/9] hw/virtio: Use VirtIODevice::access_is_big_endian field

[Pierrick Bouvier]

Use the field instead of calling the same function.

Maybe we should justify here, simply adding from your v3 comment:

   When doing automated benchmark with fio (see instructions
   in [*]) this resulted in a +1.4% speedup vs existing code.

What does existing code refer to here? According to cover letter it's 
within 0.003% of existing speed so not actually faster but only a tiny bit 
slower. The speed up above maybe from previous version of the series 
without this patch so maybe clarify that more if you include this in the 
commit message.

Existing is upstream/master.
+1.4% is with this patch.
End result is -0.3% with the full series applied.

Oops, seems like it's not correct, I found some failing tests bisecting

Why use two predicates like this, effectively calling target_arch() twice?
Surely it's better to do

     switch (target_arch()) {
     case SYS_EMU_TARGET_ARM:
     case SYS_EMU_TARGET_AARCH64:
     case SYS_EMU_TARGET_PPC64:
         return virtio_is_big_endian(vdev);
     default:
         break;
     }

Definitely with a comment saying this is about legacy behaviour.
And does VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 really not take priority?

Yes it can, I simply wrote the simplest change possible. Since this 
function is called only once now at reset time, it definitely looks like 
premature optimization IMHO.

Not sure about this one, but current implementation has same behaviour 
than previous ifdef based one.
In case that's wrong, I would be happy to change it.

For what it's worth, that's the patch I wrote when I was optimizing this 
function and found -1.7% for performance:

commit d497f71b5b1bcc46de97436e1ce31641ff792eb9
Author: Pierrick Bouvier <pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org>
Date:   Mon Feb 2 13:53:06 2026 -0800

     include/hw/virtio/virtio-access.h: optimize virtio_access_is_big_endian

     By following benchmark recommended by Stefan [1], it was found that
     previous commit introduced an overhead of 3% for this scenario.
     By reading TargetInfo only once and using a jump table, we get to 1.7%.

[PATCH v4 7/9] hw/virtio/vhost-user: make compilation unit common

[Pierrick Bouvier]

PPC architectures use a custom value for VHOST_USER_MAX_RAM_SLOTS (32
instead of 512).

vhost_user struct and several functions use VHOST_USER_MAX_RAM_SLOTS to
define stack allocated buffers. To avoid changing all functions to use
heap allocated buffers, we keep this max, and simply add a
target_base_ppc() conditional for the single place where size really
matters.

[PATCH v4 8/9] hw/virtio/virtio-qmp: make compilation unit common

[Pierrick Bouvier]

All compile time conditionals have no impact at runtime, since they are
representing only possible features for devices present at runtime.

In case they are not present, associated features table will never be
used. In case they are present but some features are not, matching bits
will never be enabled, so those entries will be unused.

Thus, simply expose everything and call it a day.
