Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] hvf: map granule abstraction and configurable IPA
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:27:30 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311022732.64141-1-lucaaamaral@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309214906.92578-1-lucaaamaral@gmail.com>
macOS ARM64 requires 16KB alignment for hv_vm_map(), but the guest
kernel uses 4KB pages. When virtio-gpu blob BAR offsets are not
16KB-aligned, the interior-mapping path fails, falling back to slow
MMIO emulation.
This series introduces:
1. A map granule abstraction (hvf_set/get_map_granule) replacing
hardcoded qemu_real_host_page_size() calls in HVF memory mapping.
Non-aligned regions return early instead of proceeding with
add=false (which attempted an unnecessary unmap).
An 'ipa-granule' property (auto, 4k, 16k) on the HVF accelerator
object allows opt-in configuration:
-accel hvf,ipa-granule=4k
2. macOS 26 IPA granule support via hv_vm_config_set_ipa_granule(),
reading the ipa-granule property to select HV_IPA_GRANULE_4KB or
HV_IPA_GRANULE_16KB. Falls back with a warning on macOS < 26.
Warns if the resolved granule exceeds the guest page size (Venus
blob mapping safety check).
Dependencies: none.
Changes v1 → v2 (Mohamed Mosaad review):
- Replace hardcoded 4KB with configurable ipa-granule property
(auto, 4k, 16k) on the HVF accelerator object.
- 'auto' defaults to host page size; explicit values opt in.
- Add fallback warning when macOS < 26 can't honor the request.
- Add Venus blob mapping safety warning (moved from venus-nogl
series to keep cross-series independence).
- Use KiB constants instead of magic numbers.
