[PATCH v2 1/1] target/riscv/kvm: fix timebase-frequency when using KVM acceleration

[Yong-Xuan Wang]

The timebase-frequency of guest OS should be the same with host
machine. The timebase-frequency value in DTS should be got from
hypervisor when using KVM acceleration.

This change ended up in stable-8.2 (v8.2.3).  Interestingly, this thing
compiled not even once, or else it would be obvious it fails to compile.
Somehow I was too used to CI, forgetting that we don't have riscv *host*
in CI (and I don't have one locally either).  So 8.2.3 is broken on
riscv64 *host*.

In 8.2, KVM_RISCV_GET_TIMER macro accepts 4 arguments, because it does
not have 10f86d1b845087d1 "target/riscv/kvm: change timer regs size to u64".

What do you think, should I revert this change for stable-8.2, or pick
10f86d1b845087d1 too, or change this commit (fix timebase-frequency) to
provide the missing argument for this macro?

Thanks,

/mjt

It's possible to cross-compile qemu, so it'd be good to add that to the CI for riscv until we can add native compiling.

Changing the timer regs to u64 is an rv32 fix, so it's reasonable to also pick it up. I suggest we keep this patch one way or another, though.

Yes, definitely.  Qemu is already being cross-compiled on all "other"
architectures during CI.  But it is also being *run*, not just compiled.
And this is what's broken on riscv64 for almost a year now, and this
job has been disabled.  Instead, the *run* part of this job needs to
be disabled, but *build* part should be kept.

Okay, so I need help choosing which patches to pick.

10f86d1b845087d1 isn't sufficient, since it relies on 450bd6618fda3d
"target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_D to u64".  In the same series
there also was 49c211ffca00fdf7c "target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_F
to u32" - is it also needed?

Please tell me the set of things I need for stable-8.2 here.  I'd
love to makes 8.2.4 release really soon, to fix this breakage.

Also, right now I don't know how to even compile-test it.  So meanwhile I'll
try to fix that and push this change to qemu master (to re-enable riscv64
CI job but only build part of it).  I don't have riscv hardware handy :)

Thanks,

Aha. I was wrong. And I was there before too, for sure, - just forgot
about it. In order to be cross-compiled, the cross-build environment
needs to have target -dev libraries, not only the cross-compiler.
And this is where debian riscv64 port is failing.

So no, it is not currently possible to cross-compile qemu at least
on debian without building whole cross-environment with all libraries
and other necessary stuff.

I'll try to use debian riscv64 porterbox to at least verify the new
set of patches we'll pick here to fix this breakage, at least compiles
on riscv64 :)

49c211ffca00fdf7c is also needed.  So it's 3 so far, still not compile-
tested.  Anything else?

I wrote instructions [2] for how to cross-compile without a full environment/container once. It might be better for quick, local testing.

Those 3, the first of the series [1], are good. Not sure why it's still not compiling.

I just extracted a few packages from debian riscv64 (like libglib & deps)
in a separate dir and pointed various tools (pkgconf, gcc -I, gcc -L) to
that dir.

Yes, I picked up these 3 I mentioned, in addition to the problematic one
which is part of 8.2.3.  Once I had the build environment, I tried compiling
it, and it builds fine.  I wrote it is not compile-TESTED, not as it fails
to compile.

Also, I tried to build qemu on a real riscv64 hardware (on a debian porterbox),
-- it built fine (with the 3 mentioned changes applied) and is now running
tests, but it looks like it will be fine too.

> [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-12/msg01132.html

So yes, I'm picking these additional 3 from this set, - the ones which
I already mentioned.

Thanks,

Thanks so much for testing that.

I'm not really sure what to do about the RISC-V host builds. I keep
expecting distros to ship better RISC-V support, but still they don't
seem to have it
