[Qemu-devel] PPC emulation on Qemu

[Manish Bansal]

Hi,
  How do we boot a PPC OS using Qemu? Do we need a separate BIOS ROM file for 
that? Can we boot Mac OS X on it.

Thanks,
Manish.

Hello,
We can't boot any PPC OS with qemu for now.
The first OS targeted is Linux, MacOS will come next. We'll need more
emulated devices, including PCI devices to make it run. Then, the good
way would be to have an open-soure BIOS, the way it's done for x86
target.
I'm sorry you'll have to be patient...

I have heard on this list that you're working on that, the website says
that PPC system emulation is in development, but I couldn't find any
code in qemu CVS.

Just curious, but is there already any code?

The code to emulate supervisor mode and MMU is mostly commited. But the
code to handle peripherals, emulate open-firmware (which is a poor
approch, but...) and really launch a linux kernel isn't really usable
for now.

Did you use some of MOL's code ? (MacOnLinus contains OF client
interface emulation and some low level Mac hw emulation like interrupt
controller, PCI host bridge, etc...)

Well, I did look a lot MOL code but didn't use it for now. I won't reuse
MOL OF code, because I don't want to have hardcoded stuffs, but
something that acts really like the open-firmware and will be able to
boot any OS, just like Bochs BIOS does for PC's.
But emulated hardware from MOL will be helpfull someday. For now, I want
to concentrate on booting Linux for Prep hardware. Because it's mainly a
PC with a PPC CPU, it's a real good target to debug CPU emulation
problems without taking care of emulated hardware. Then, I want a
standard and nowedays PPC platform, not only Macs, near OpenPPC
standard. So I did an open-pic emulation, ... MOL code will be helpfull
to emulate some Mac platforms, but as it says, it seems to me that's
it's too much Mac & MacOS dedicated to help until I got full stable
basics.

Latest "devel" tree from Samuel started integrating OpenBIOS in MOL
(that is a full OF implementation).

What is OpenPPC standard ? So far, the most "standard" PPCs are
PowerMacs ;)

It can run the linux kernel as well. It's oriented toward emulation
speed though. It has this nice "OSI" calls mecanism that allows
cross call from within the emulated environment to the emulator
linux-side. That along with host-side drivers using these calls
allows significant perfs. improvements for things like disk
access, sound, etc... but that's all optional.

OpenBios would be great, but it seems to be far from running. I got
something nearly running, in host environment. But if OpenBios gets
close to a full real Bios, I'd be glad to use it !

Yes, I know it's nearly a virtual platform, but, has I have some tests
kernels that should run on it, it makes debug simpler. But I agree this
emulation is just a step to a real complete hardware emulation...

Well, G4 Macs are close to OpenPPC standard, which is an open platform
which has been described by IBM. I like it has a reference because it's
nearly Macs and because AIX, MacOS (X I suppose) and Linux should be
able to run on it.

Yes I know it can run Linux, but what I wanted to point is that (if I'm
not wrong) it's not able to run any OS (ie AIX or pegasos or, why not
(?), BeOS or AmigaOS) like a real machine would.
I agree that MOL exactly intend to do this, and does it well, but I
think qemu should really emulate the whole execution environment...

Does the OSI calls mechanism needs patched OS and/or firmware ?

You mean CHRP ? Hrm... AIX ? hehe, I wouldn't bet on that :) OS X
neither. But at least for OS X, you can write your own drivers,
like MOL does.

It could. All depends on which HW you emulate.

It's an addition. MOL can run without it, it's just an optimisation
so you can load special drivers into the host OS to makes things
much faster / more useable.

On MacOS, it makes a lot of sense since the drivers can be provided
by the bootloader at boot or even in the ROM of some PCI cards, so
MOL can transparently get those loaded into the host operating
system when it's MacOS 9 or X.

Also, for OS X, MOL actually loads a special kext that patches the
kernel to remove it's use of MMU split mode, which isn't necessary
under emulation and actually very slow to emulate.

I believe only 7.5.2 + unreleased enabler was able to run on CHIRP 
platforms (Starmax 6000 or those with IBM LongTrail prototype boards). 
Or is the "OpenPPC standard" another thing?

> Does the OSI calls mechanism needs patched OS and/or firmware ?

I have not looked at MOL that much but OSI stands for Operating System 
Interface. i.e. a means that can communicate from the guest OS and the 
host OS through (here) "normal" syscalls. On the Mac side, specific 
drivers use those syscall to get/set variables in a fast way. Ben said 
it's all optional but useful performance wise. SheepShaver does a 
similar thing with EmulOps (major opcode = 6 on ppc), or direct TVECT 
patching on native PPC.

	Sidenote:  Perhaps if OSI could be made available in both PPC and
X86 qemu system emulators we could keep a patch against 2.6.x with drivers
to use those calls to make running Linux faster on x86 as well.  Combined
with the latest work Fabrice is doing getting rid of slow PIO for hard
drives would be a good thing.

No, I meant OpenPPC, but it seems that IBM doesn't promote it anymore:
the pages disapeared from their site.... So maybe it's now another
virtual standard platform :-(

Yes, I'd like qemu to be able to emulate the largest combination of
hw... I don't really know if I will ever try to emulate Amiga, but as
the main use of PPC is embedded hardwares, it sounds good to have an
easily "hw" tunable emulator...

All right, it seems to me that you can not always patch the emulated
system for different reasons...

OK, seems a good way for proceeding.

This, I'd like to avoid, as I'd like to keep the system in the state it
is... But I may change my mind.

I just rsync'ed the latest mol, and it appears to me that openbios isn't
inside. It seems that it's only available through proprietary bk
software...
Is there a way to get it using a standard open mechanism (ie rsync or
CVS ?). It would be glad, as I cannot and never want to use any
proprietary software on my linux boxes...

Regarding emulation of all PPC systems:
Would it be possible to switch the system to little endian mode inside the 
qemu process? That way, one could run Windows NT, which I always wanted 
to try (but couldn't, because I don't have the necessary hardware).

This could also (with a slightly different approach) bring better speeds for
i386 computations.

I had to bite the bullet a month ago and install Bitkeeper (precisely for
MOL),
and I can't say I like it. It's really sad that there seems no other way to
get
up-to-date MOL sources.

In theory, we could do that.
But it needs deep kernel patch as I think Linux never uses little-endian
pages on PPC. Maybe with a kind a mmap flag ? :-)
But, I don't think you can control endian mode for each page,
but only for 128 Mb large areas...

Well, you can get MOL sources via rsync, but not their openbios
repository. You can get the "official" openbios via cvs, but there is no
support for PPC...

Endian control depends on the CPU type (BookE has per page E bit,
6xx/7xx desktops have a global endian mode, and G5s don't have little
endian support at all).

It's useless but for old versions of Windows NT, which means it's
useless, period. :)

If you look at the MOL bk web front end, you'll see an openbios dir
in there)

It could improve performance for little-endian architectures emulation,
but l<n>brx & st<n>brx may be as efficient as this mode, so let's forget
about it...

Yep, I've already seen it, but I can't get the a copy of this

There's a CVS at openbios.org, but it's not up-to-date, for PPC support.
