dom0less device passthrough requires granting guest domains access to
device interrupts. Introduce map_device_irqs_to_domain() to enumerate
a DT node's interrupt properties, skipping those not owned by
the primary interrupt controller (as at the moment I haven't seen usages
of it), and map_irq_to_domain() to grant domain access and configure
Xen's interrupt descriptor accordingly. Sharing IRQ between domains is
rejected.
Both map_irq_to_domain() and map_device_irqs_to_domain() are marked
__overlay_init, mirroring Arm: without CONFIG_OVERLAY_DTB this expands to
__init, so the functions are init-only and need no XSM check; with
CONFIG_OVERLAY_DTB they become runtime-callable, but the only runtime
entry point is dt_overlay_domctl(), which performs the XSM checks at the
domctl layer. RISC-V does not wire up DT overlay yet, so today these are
strictly __init; if/when overlay support is added, the domctl-level XSM
gating must be added together with it, as on Arm.
route_irq_to_guest() and release_guest_irq() manage irq_desc ownership
for guest-assigned interrupts. Each assignment carries a small irq_guest
structure as irqaction::dev_id, recording the owning domain and virtual
IRQ number which is 1:1 mapped to physical IRQ number. A per-domain
vIRQ allocation bitmap (used_irqs in struct vintc), managed by
vintc_reserve_virq(), prevents the same vIRQ being claimed twice.
Host and guest interrupts may differ in some operations, EOI timing in
particular: a host IRQ is completed once Xen's handler runs, whereas a
passthrough IRQ must defer the physical completion until the guest issues
its own EOI, otherwise a still-asserted level line would immediately
retrigger and storm. Hence a separate guest hw_irq_controller instance,
aplic_guest_irq_type, rather than an alias of the host one.
Its callbacks are BUG_ON("unimplemented") for now. The only interrupt
controller configuration supported so far is APLIC in MSI mode together
with IMSIC, where guest interrupts are delivered by hardware straight to
the guest's interrupt file, bypassing do_IRQ() and thereby Xen entirely.
The _IRQ_GUEST branch in do_IRQ() is left as BUG() for the same reason.
Real callbacks, .end() in particular, become necessary once a platform
without direct IMSIC delivery has to be supported, where Xen traps the
interrupt and injects it into the guest itself.

Changes in v10:
- Rename aplic_guest back to aplic_guest_irq_type, for consistency with
aplic_xen_irq_type, and give it a distinct typename ("aplic-guest").
- Replace the remaining test_bit()/__set_bit() on desc->status with
plain bit operations, as the v9 changelog claimed. The wait loop in
irq_release_action() keeps test_bit(): the loop must re-read
desc->status on every iteration because another CPU may clear
IRQ_INPROGRESS. The volatile read performed by test_bit() prevents the
compiler from hoisting the read out of the loop, which would otherwise
leave the loop spinning forever on a stale value. cpu_relax() is not a
compiler barrier, so it cannot provide this guarantee by itself.
- Actually drop the init. of info->action.free_on_release, as the v9
changelog claimed.
- Prefix the remaining "already used by ..." messages in
route_irq_to_guest() with %pd, as the v9 changelog claimed.
- release_guest_irq(): reword the comment above irq_detach_action() to
say that a concurrent release "will see" IRQ_GUEST cleared, as with
desc->lock held no racing check can occur.
- Drop Arm change from this patch.
- Update the description of the host/guest hw_irq_controller split: the
two no longer share any callback.
- Re-wrap an over-long comment in domain_vaplic_init().
---
Changes in v9:
- s/aplic_guest_irq_type/aplic_guest + introduce stubs for callbacks instead
of re-using callbacks used for Xen itself.
- Correct the comment above action member of struct irq_guest.
- Drop test_bit() from ASSERT() in irq_get_guest_info().
- Use bit operations instead of __clear_bit() in irq_detach_action().
- Fomrat do () while () in irq_release_action() according to code style.
- Update the comment above irq_release_action() and inside (before smp_rmb()).
- Make an argument of release_guest_irq() pointer to const.
- Drop init. of info->action.free_on_release as it will be false because of how
info is allocated.
- Align comments in printk() inside route_irq_to_guest().
- Move smp_rmb() after the wait loop in irq_release_action() (inside it, it
ordered nothing useful) and spin with cpu_relax().
---
Changes in v8:
- vintc_reserve_virq(): return an error code instead of a bool: 0 on
success, -EEXIST when the vIRQ has already been reserved (which
legitimately happens for an IRQ shared between devices) and -ERANGE
when the vIRQ is outside the range the vINTC provides. Document the
function and its return values.
- vintc_reserve_virq(): mark it __overlay_init, as its only caller
map_irq_to_domain() is __overlay_init too. Add the <xen/dt-overlay.h>
and <xen/errno.h> includes this needs.
- map_irq_to_domain(): check the return value of vintc_reserve_virq()
and propagate anything but -EEXIST. Otherwise the IRQ would end up
routed to the domain without domain_vintc_deinit() ever releasing it
again. Update the stale comment accordingly.
- domain_vintc_deinit(): only walk used_irqs and free it if it has
actually been allocated. domain_vintc_init() can fail after the vINTC
itself has been allocated, leaving used_irqs NULL.
- irq.c: split the body of release_irq() into two helpers:
irq_detach_action(), which removes the action matching dev_id from
desc->action with desc->lock held, and irq_release_action(), which
waits for a handler still running on another CPU and frees the action
with desc->lock dropped. Both document the locking rules they rely on.
release_irq() is now just a wrapper around the two.
- release_guest_irq(): use irq_detach_action()/irq_release_action()
instead of open-coding __clear_bit(_IRQ_GUEST, ...) followed by
release_irq(), which looked the action up by dev_id a second time.
- release_guest_irq(): drop the -EBUSY restriction that only allowed
unrouting from a dying domain. Detaching the action under desc->lock
now closes the window this was working around.
- route_irq_to_guest(): on the intc_route_irq_to_guest() failure path,
detach the action while desc->lock is still held and only release it
after the lock has been dropped, instead of dropping the lock first
and calling release_irq().
- route_irq_to_guest(): initialise desc at its declaration.
- irq_get_guest_info(): use ASSERT(desc->action) instead of
ASSERT(desc->action != NULL).
---
Changes in v7:
- Build device.c as device.init.o: everything it provides is
__overlay_init, which is plain __init as long as CONFIG_OVERLAY_DTB
stays Arm-only. Unlike Arm, which picks device.o/device.init.o based
on that config, RISC-V cannot enable it, so the choice is
unconditional for now.
- Don't have release_irq() free the guest IRQ info anymore: set
free_on_release = false and free 'info' explicitly in
release_guest_irq(), i.e. reinstate the xvfree() dropped in v5. The
action stays embedded in struct irq_guest, so a single allocation
still covers both, but it no longer has to be the structure's first
member: the offsetof() BUILD_BUG_ON and the xvfree() of a pointer
that merely happened to coincide with the allocation base are gone.
The ->dev_id concern from v5 doesn't apply: release_irq() clears
desc->action under desc->lock and waits for in-flight handling before
returning, so nothing can observe ->dev_id once 'info' is freed.
- Move 'action' to the end of struct irq_guest and reword its comment
accordingly.
- Use xvzalloc() instead of xvmalloc() for struct irq_guest, so that
the embedded action is fully initialized (action.handler was left
uninitialized before).
- route_irq_to_guest(): free 'info' via the common free_info label when
intc_route_irq_to_guest() fails, now that release_irq() no longer
frees it.
- Drop a stray blank line ahead of release_irq().
---
Changes in v6:
- size nr_virqs as guest_aplic_num_sources + 1 to reserve APLIC's 1-indexed
source 0, so the highest source/irq could be reserved.
---
Changes in v5:
- add early -EINVAL return in route_irq_to_guest() if domain is dying
- use __clear_bit() instead of clear_bit() in release_guest_irq()
since desc->lock is already held
- remove irq_get_domain() wrapper; inline irq_get_guest_info(desc)->d
at its single call site
- reword IRQ_GUEST comment in do_IRQ() for clarity
- move XVFREE(used_irqs) before the switch so it is freed prior to
variant-specific vintc teardown
- fix missing space in dt_dprintk() format string split across lines
- Drop 'inline' for irq_get_guest_info() and leave it only static.
- Drop xfree(info) from release_guest_irq() to avoid a potential
dangling-pointer issue with the ->dev_id field. Now that
'struct irqaction action;' is embedded into 'struct irq_guest',
'info' will be freed as part of release_irq() at the end.
---
Changes in v4:
- Update the commit message.
- Mark map_irq_to_domain() and map_device_irqs_to_domain() as
__overlay_init (mirroring Arm) and include <xen/dt-overlay.h>.
- Fix grammar in the controller-skip comment ("IRQ" -> "IRQs").
- Drop the redundant 'base' local in guest_imsic_make_reg_property();
use GUEST_IMSIC_S_BASE directly.
- Rename vintc::irq_nums -> nr_virqs and update all users.
- Guard domain_vintc_deinit() against a NULL d->arch.vintc.
- Use smp_rmb() instead of smp_mb() in release_irq()'s wait loop and
document how it pairs with the spin_unlock() in do_IRQ().
- In release_guest_irq(), reject live unrouting from a non-dying domain
(-EBUSY) and clear _IRQ_GUEST under desc->lock so a concurrent
release for the same IRQ bails out instead of double-freeing 'info'.
- Tidy spurious whitespace in release_irq()'s spin_lock/unlock calls.
---
Changes in v3:
- Drop extraneous "to" from "Unable to permit to %pd" message.
- Move res/irq/rirq to loop scope; use nirq as declaration initializer.
- Hoist irq_ranges check before the loop (it is loop-invariant).
- Remove spurious forward declarations (struct dt_device_node, struct
rangeset) from intc.h; remove all three from setup.h.
- Use __set_bit() instead of set_bit() in intc_route_irq_to_guest()
since desc->lock is always held on every write path for desc->status.
- Use XVFREE() instead of xvfree() in domain_vintc_deinit().
- Rename allocated_irqs -> used_irqs in struct vintc.
- Fix dangling desc->action in release_irq()'s !IRQ_HAS_MULTIPLE_ACTION
path by nulling *action_ptr after saving the action pointer.
- Use true (not 1) for free_on_release in route_irq_to_guest().
- Use %pd for domain printing in route_irq_to_guest() error paths.
- Introduce release_guest_irq() to pair with route_irq_to_guest() and
plug the irq_guest info leak; call it from domain_vintc_deinit()
for each vIRQ recorded in used_irqs.
---
Changes in v2:
- Rework IRQ mapping in more common (similar approach to Arm).

Wire up the missing early-boot initialization steps in start_xen().
The scheduler must be initialized prior to do_initcalls() because
cpupool_create_pool() is called during initcalls; without it,
BUG_ON(IS_ERR(pool)) is triggered inside cpupool_create_pool().

For debug purpose is enough to have only print messages from guest what is
now implemented in vsbi_legacy_ecall_handler().
For full guesst console support it will better to have something similar to
[1], thereby there is nothing specific should be done, at least, for now
and init_vuart() is provided to make dom0less code buildable.

Enable dom0less support for RISC-V by selecting HAS_DOM0LESS and
providing the minimal architecture hooks required by the common
dom0less infrastructure.
Add stub implementations for architecture-specific helpers used when
building domains from the device tree. These allow the generic
dom0less code to build and let a basic DomU be constructed on RISC-V.
construct_hwdom() and make_hypervisor_node() are still stubs returning
an error: Dom0/hwdom construction isn't supported yet, and the
hypervisor node generation (needed by domains with
DOM0LESS_ENHANCED_NO_XS set) is not implemented. Both are marked with
a TODO and are not reached by the currently supported configurations.
Provide missing helpers and definitions required by the domain
construction code, including domain bitness helpers and the
p2m_set_allocation() prototype.
Additionally define the guest magic memory region (GUEST_MAGIC_BASE /
GUEST_MAGIC_SIZE) in asm/guest-layout.h. The base is arbitrary; the
only constraint is that the region must not overlap guest RAM or the
emulated device regions. It is placed in the unused gap below
GUEST_RAM0_BASE (0x80000000); the constraints are documented next to
the #define-s.
A separate region for grant tables will be introduced at the same time as
the introduction of the grant table for RISC-V.

Changes in v8-v10:
- Nothing changed. Only rebase.
---
Changes in v6-7:
- Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>.
---
Changes in v5:
- Reword the comment above defintion of GUEST_MAGIC_BASE.
- Shrunk the size of GUEST_MAGIC_SIZE to 2Mb as looking on the Arm
only 4 pages are used and there is no technical reason to have 16Mb for
that region. (Maybe in case of Arm it is connected that Arm has these
definitions in public header so more space is reserved to not "break"
public API in future)
- Update the commit message with a remark about grant table region
in guest-layout.h.
---
Changes in v4:
- Reword the description: the stubs do not let dom0less fully "run"
since construct_hwdom() and make_hypervisor_node() return an error;
spell out these limitations instead.
- Add a TODO comment to construct_hwdom() explaining that Dom0/hwdom
construction isn't supported yet.
- Add a TODO comment to make_hypervisor_node() explaining that
returning an error breaks building of domains with
DOM0LESS_ENHANCED_NO_XS set, and why that is harmless for now.
- Document the constraints on GUEST_MAGIC_BASE/GUEST_MAGIC_SIZE next
to the #define-s and drop the QEMU-based justification (QEMU is not
involved); the base is simply an arbitrary non-overlapping address.
Changes in v3:
- Add /* Nothing specific to do for now */ comment to
arch_handle_passthrough_prop().
- Use _ULL() instead of xen_mk_ullong() for GUEST_MAGIC_BASE and
GUEST_MAGIC_SIZE (xen_mk_ullong() is intended for public headers only).
- Fix GUEST_MAGIC_BASE from 0x39000000 to 0x79000000 to avoid the
QEMU RISC-V virt machine PCIE_ECAM range.
- Drop CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY=n from the CI randconfig; now redundant
since STATIC_MEMORY depends on HAS_STATIC_MEMORY which RISC-V does
not select.
Changes in v2:
- Move declaration of p2m_set_allocation() to p2m-common.h.
- Add __initdata for max_init_domid and drop initalizer for it.
- Add CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY=n to CI's randconfig to avoid
compilation error because of guest_physmap_add_pages()
isn't provided.
