[PATCH v6 00/24] vITS save/restore

Eric Auger
2017-05-04T11:44:20Z

This series specifies and implements an API aimed at saving and restoring
the state of the in-kernel emulated ITS device.

The ITS is programmed through registers and tables. Those latter
are allocated by the guest. Their base address is programmed in
registers or table entries before the ITS is enabled.

The ITS is free to use some of them to flush its internal caches. This
is likely to be used when entering low power state.

Therefore, for save/restore use case, it looks natural to use this
guest RAM allocated space to save the table related data. However,
currently, The ITS in-kernel emulated device does not use all of those
tables and for those it uses, it does not always sync them with its
cached data. Additional sync must happen for:
- the collection table
- the device table
- the per-device translation tables
- the LPI pending tables.

The LPI configation table and the command queues do not need extra
syncs.

Best Regards

Eric

* Testing:
- on Cavium ThunderX using a virtio-net-pci guest,
virsh save/restore commands and virt-manager live migration.
Tested with 1 and 2 stage device table.

History:
v5 -> v6:
- address Christoffer's comments:
- add restore sequence in the doc
- sync with pending and config tables in its_add_lpi
- change in return values when scanning the tables
- several bug fixes pointed out by Christoffer
- see full details in individual logs

v4 -> v5:
- user API changes:
- ITS table save/restore triggered through ITS KVM device
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group, KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES,
KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES
- RDIST pending table flush triggered through GICV3 KVM device
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL/KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_SAVE_PENDING_TABLES
- Introduce an ABI infrastructure, entry size report using this infra
- IIDR reports ABI chosen set by userspace if any
- pending table save moved to vgic-v3.c
- use optimisation in pending table save
- check target_addr when restore cte
- pending table sync called from restore_tables
- added KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Fix pending table sync
- simplify loopup_table and use kvm_read_guest()
- sort the device and ITE list on save
- add defines for shifts and masks, GIC_ENCODE_SZ macro

v3 -> v4:
- update the DTE format (ITT_addr 52 bit support, validity bit addition)
- Document ABI revision and implement check
- iidr save/restore (including a new patch for iidr user write access)
- changed locking: kvm lock + vcpu lock
- fix nb_eventid_bits mixup
- 2 new patches aiming at exposing next_segment() and lock_all_vcpus()
- rework errror handling of lookup_table functions

- I took into account all Andre's comments/suggestions except:
- trigger the save/restore of pending tables from GICV3 KVM device
instead of ITS KVM device
- implement ITS flush/restore in KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL
ITS group

See the ML replies for current justifications. In case other people
strongly disagree of course I will change the code.

v2 -> v3:
- fix restore ITS ITT_addr bit masking

v1 -> v2:
- rebased on Vijaya's v11
- all entries now are 8 byte large
- devid/eventid indexing for device table and ITT
- support 2 stage device table
- common infra to read indexed tables
- add cpu <-> le64 conversions
- itte renamed into ite
- do not care anymore about pending table 1st KB
(not needed at the moment for coarse mapping)

RFC v1
- creation
