For the CPUs without the v8.2 RAS Extensions, its ESR is always 0, we only can inject a SError with ESR 0 to guest, cannot set its ESR.
About how about to use the KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS, I will check the code, and consider your suggestion at the same time.
The IOCTL KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS has been used by X86.

0? It's always implementation-defined. On Juno it seems to be always-0, but
other systems may behave differently. (Juno may generate another ESR value when
I'm not watching it...)
Just because we can't control the ESR doesn't mean injecting an SError isn't
something user-space may want to do.
If we tackle migration of pending-SError first, I think that will give us the
API to create a new pending SError with/without an ESR as appropriate.

We would be re-using the struct to have values with slightly different meanings.
But for migration the upshot is the same, call KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS on one
system, and pass the struct to KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS on the new system. If we're
lucky Qemu may be able to do this in shared x86/arm64 code.

But that made the functionality of this patch: A new API to return -EINVAL from
the kernel.
Swapping the patches round would have avoided this.
Regardless, I think this will fold out in a rebase.

But that made the functionality of this patch: A new API to return -EINVAL from
the kernel.
Swapping the patches round would have avoided this.
Regardless, I think this will fold out in a rebase.

For the armv8.0 cpu without RAS Extensions, it does not have vsesr_el2, so when guest take a virtual SError,
its ESR is 0, can not control the virtual SError's syndrom value, it does not have such registers to control that.
Does Juno not have RAS Extension? if yes, I think we can only inject an SError, but can not change its ESR value, because it does not have vsesr_el2.

yes, we may need to support user-space injects an SError even through CPU does not have RAS Extension.

sure, we should. Last week, I checked the KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS IOCTL, it should meet our migration requirements

In the x86, the kvm_vcpu_events includes exception/interrupt/nmi/smi. For the RAS, we
only involves the exception, so Qemu handling logic is different. Anyway, I will try to
share code for the two platform in Qemu.

My point was its more nuanced than this: the ARM-ARM's
TakeVirtualSErrorException() pseudo-code lets virtual-SError have an
implementation defined syndrome. I've never seen Juno generate anything other
than '0', but it might do something different on a thursday.
The point? We can't know what a CPU without the RAS extensions puts in there.
Why Does this matter? When migrating a pending SError we have to know the
difference between 'use this 64bit value', and 'the CPU will generate it'.
If I make an SError pending with ESR=0 on a CPU with VSESR, I can't migrated to
a system that generates an impdef SError-ESR, because I can't know it will be 0.

It's two types of v8.0 CPU, no RAS extensions.

I agree, this means we need to be able to tell the difference between 'pending'
and 'pending with this ESR'.

I checked the "aarch64/exceptions/asynch/AArch64.TakeVirtualSErrorException",
you are right, the virtual SError's syndrome value can be 0 or implementation defined value, not always 0,
which is decided by the "exception.syndrome<24>".
thanks for the clarification.

Yes,
But it will have a issue,
For the target system, before taking the SError, no one can know whether its syndrome value
is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED or architecturally defined.
when the virtual SError is taken, the ESR_ELx.IDS will be updated, then we can know
whether the ESR value is impdef or architecturally defined.
It seems migration is only allowed only when target system and source system all support RAS extension, because we do not know
whether its syndrome is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED or architecturally defined.

I checked the "aarch64/exceptions/asynch/AArch64.TakeVirtualSErrorException",
you are right, the virtual SError's syndrome value can be 0 or implementation defined value, not always 0,
which is decided by the "exception.syndrome<24>".
thanks for the clarification.

Yes,
But it will have a issue,
For the target system, before taking the SError, no one can know whether its syndrome value
is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED or architecturally defined.
when the virtual SError is taken, the ESR_ELx.IDS will be updated, then we can know
whether the ESR value is impdef or architecturally defined.
It seems migration is only allowed only when target system and source system all support RAS extension, because we do not know
whether its syndrome is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED or architecturally defined.

For a virtual-SError, the hypervisor knows what it generated. (do I have
VSESR_EL2? What did I put in there?).

True, the guest can't know anything about a pending virtual SError until it
takes it. Why is this a problem?

I don't think Qemu allows migration between hosts with differing guest-ID
registers. But we shouldn't depend on this, and we may want to hide the v8.2 RAS
features from the guest's ID register, but still use them from the host.
The way I imagined it working was we would pack the following information into
that events struct:
{
bool serror_pending;
bool serror_has_esr;
u64 serror_esr;
}
The problem I was trying to describe is because there is no value of serror_esr
we can use to mean 'Ignore this, I'm a v8.0 CPU'. VSESR_EL2 is a 64bit register,
any bits we abuse may get a meaning we want to use in the future.
When it comes to migration, v8.{0,1} systems can only GET/SET events where
serror_has_esr == false, they can't use the serror_esr. On v8.2 systems we
should require serror_has_esr to be true.
If we need to support migration from v8.{0,1} to v8.2, we can make up an impdef
serror_esr.
We will need to decide what KVM does when SET is called but an SError was
already pending. 2.5.3 "Multiple SError interrupts" of [0] has something to say.
Happy new year,
James

For the Qemu migration, I need to check more the QEMU code.
Hi Andrew,
I use KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS IOCTL to migrate the Serror
exception status of VM,
The even struct is shown below:
{
bool serror_pending;
bool serror_has_esr;
u64 serror_esr;
}
Only when the target machine is armv8.2, it needs to set the
serror_esr(SError Exception Syndrome Register).
for the armv8.0, software can not set the serror_esr(SError Exception
Syndrome Register).
so when migration from v8.{0,1} to v8.2, QEMU should make up an impdef
serror_esr for the v8.2 target.
can you give me some suggestion how to set that register in the QEMU?
I do not familar with the QEMU migration.
Thanks very much.

how about KVM set again to the same VCPU?

For the Qemu migration, I need to check more the QEMU code.
Hi Andrew,
I use KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS IOCTL to migrate the Serror
exception status of VM,
The even struct is shown below:
{
bool serror_pending;
bool serror_has_esr;
u64 serror_esr;
}
Only when the target machine is armv8.2, it needs to set the
serror_esr(SError Exception Syndrome Register).
for the armv8.0, software can not set the serror_esr(SError Exception
Syndrome Register).
so when migration from v8.{0,1} to v8.2, QEMU should make up an impdef
serror_esr for the v8.2 target.
can you give me some suggestion how to set that register in the QEMU?
I do not familar with the QEMU migration.
Thanks very much.

Ah! This is where it came from. Sorry, this was just to illustrate the
information/sizes we wanted to transfer.... I didn't mean it literally.
I should have said "64 bits of ESR, so that we can transfer anything that is
added to VSESR_EL2 in the future, a flag somewhere to indicate an serror is
pending, and another flag to indicate the ESR has a value we should use".
Thanks/Sorry!

Ah! This is where it came from. Sorry, this was just to illustrate the
information/sizes we wanted to transfer.... I didn't mean it literally.
I should have said "64 bits of ESR, so that we can transfer anything that is
added to VSESR_EL2 in the future, a flag somewhere to indicate an serror is
pending, and another flag to indicate the ESR has a value we should use".
Thanks/Sorry!

After this patch user-space can trigger an SError in the guest. If it wants to
migrate the guest, how does the pending SError get migrated?
I think we need to fix migration first. Andrew Jones suggested using
KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg616846.html
Given KVM uses kvm_inject_vabt() on v8.0 hardware too, we should cover systems
without the v8.2 RAS Extensions with the same API. I think this means a bit to
read/write whether SError is pending, and another to indicate the ESR should be
set/read.
CPUs without the v8.2 RAS Extensions can reject pending-SError that had an ESR.
user-space can then use the 'for migration' calls to make a 'new' SError pending.
Now that the cpufeature bits are queued, I think this can be split up into two
separate series for v4.16-rc1, one to tackle NOTIFY_SEI and the associated
plumbing. The second for the KVM 'make SError pending' API.

Does nothing in the patch that adds the support? This is a bit odd.
(oh, its hiding in patch 6...)

The ARM64 RAS SError Interrupt(SEI) syndrome value is specific to the
guest and user space needs a way to tell KVM this value. So we add a
new ioctl. Before user space specifies the Exception Syndrome Register
ESR(ESR), it firstly checks that whether KVM has the capability to
set the guest ESR, If has, will set it. Otherwise, nothing to do.
For this ESR specifying, Only support for AArch64, not support AArch32.
