Subject: [PATCH 2/3] accel/hvf: introduce map granule abstraction and IPA property
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:41:53 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315034154.41986-3-lucaaamaral@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315034154.41986-1-lucaaamaral@gmail.com>

Add a map granule abstraction that decouples HVF memory mapping
alignment from the host page size.  On ARM64, Apple Silicon supports
stage-2 translation with 4KB page granules regardless of the host OS
page size (16KB on macOS).  This allows running guests with 4KB pages
without interior mapping failures.

Introduce hvf_set_map_granule()/hvf_get_map_granule() in hvf-all.c
to replace hard-coded qemu_real_host_page_size() references in
do_hv_vm_protect() and hvf_set_phys_mem().  When the granule is not
explicitly configured, fall back to host page size to preserve the
previous behaviour.

Add an "ipa-granule" accelerator property (auto, 4k, 16k) following
the established kvm_arch_accel_class_init() pattern: ARM registers
the property in hvf_arch_accel_class_init(), x86 provides an empty
stub.  This avoids #ifdef __aarch64__ in common code while keeping
a single hvf-all.c shared by both targets.

Fix hvf_set_phys_mem() to return early for non-aligned regions instead
of clearing the add flag, which previously fell through to an
incorrect unmap of a region that was never mapped.
