Subject: [PATCH v2 00/13] Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 01:17:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241020194734.58686-1-apatel@ventanamicro.com> (raw)

The KVM RISC-V hypervisor might be running as a guest under some other
host hypervisor in which case the complete H-extension functionality will
be trap-n-emulated by the host hypervisor. In this case, the KVM RISC-V
performance can be accelerated using the SBI nested acceleration (NACL)
extension if the host hypervisor provides it.

These series extends KVM RISC-V to use SBI NACL extension whenever
underlying SBI implementation (aka host hypervisor) provides it.

These patches can also be found in the riscv_sbi_nested_v2 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

To test these patches, run KVM RISC-V as Guest under latest Xvisor
found at: https://github.com/xvisor/xvisor.git

For the steps to test on Xvisor, refer the Xvisor documentation
<xvisor_source>/docs/riscv/riscv64-qemu.txt with two small changes:

1) In step#11, make sure compressed kvm.ko, guest kernel image, and
   kvmtool are present in the rootfs.img
2) In step#14, make sure AIA is available to Xvisor by using
   "virt,aia=aplic-imsic" as the QEMU machine name.

Changes since v1:
 - Dropped nacl_shmem_fast() macro from PATCH8
 - Added comments in PATCH8 about which back-to-back ncsr_xyz()
   macros are sub-optimal
 - Moved nacl_scratch_xyz() macros to PATCH8
