[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] split out uses of kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()

[Peter Maydell]

This patch series removes all uses of kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()
from architecture-independent code, by creating a set of more
specific functions instead to test for the particular aspects
of behaviour that the calling code is actually interested in.

The uses in x86-specific code could in theory be further broken
down into kvm_ioapic(), kvm_pit(), etc, but I leave that for
one of the x86 maintainers if they think it's worthwhile.

Peter Maydell (6):
  kvm: Decouple 'interrupt injection is async' from 'kernel irqchip'
  kvm: Rename kvm_irqchip_set_irq to kvm_inject_async_irq
  kvm: Move kvm_allows_irq0_override() to target-i386
  kvm: Don't assume irqchip-in-kernel implies irqfds
  kvm: Don't assume irqchip implies MSI routing via irqfds
  kvm: Add documentation comment for kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/6] kvm: Decouple 'interrupt injection is async' from 'kernel irqchip'

[Peter Maydell]

On x86 interrupt injection is asynchronous (and therefore
VCPU idle management is done in the kernel) if and only
if there is an in-kernel irqchip. On other architectures this
isn't necessarily true (they may always do asynchronous
injection), so define a new kvm_async_interrupt_injection()
function instead of misusing kvm_irqchip_in_kernel().

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/6] kvm: Rename kvm_irqchip_set_irq to kvm_inject_async_irq

[Peter Maydell]

Rename the function kvm_irqchip_set_irq() to kvm_inject_async_irq(),
since it can be used for asynchronous interrupt injection whether
there is a full irqchip model in the kernel or not.

"interrupt injection" refers to the act of setting up an interrupt to be
delivered to the guest at the next entry, so it is synchronous by
nature.  It was sloppy of me to use the term, but let's not introduce it
to the code as well.

The correct terminology would be:
  interrupt injection: synchronous, in-vcpu, after all masks have been
evaluated.  Straight into the vein.
  interrupt queueing: asynchronous, extra-vcpu, before any masks

Since interrupt queueing (well that name isn't perfect for level
triggered interrupts, since it may not queue anything...) is the norm, I
think it's better to keep the set_irq() naming and mark the synchronous
interrupt injection function as special.

We don't have a synchronous function anymore, it's part of the pre-run
code of x86 IIRC.

Right.  There's a DPRINTF() there that talks about injection, too.  So I
think this patch can be dropped.

The main purpose of the patch is to remove 'irqchip' from the
function name, because the function isn't restricted to use
with in-kernel irqchips.

Hmm, what was question again? Ah: Do we have an arch that implements it
without providing a (logical) irqchip? At least at this time (including
ARM)?

Well, it depends what you mean by 'irqchip' (part of the point of
this series being that there isn't a coherent architecture
independent definition of that and so we shouldn't use the term
in architecture-independent code).
On ARM we will use KVM_IRQ_LINE whether we have an in-kernel VGIC
or not, because we always use async interrupt injection.

(That is, the same arguments for "why should this function be
guarded by kvm_async_interrupt_injection() rather than
kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()?" apply to "why should this function not
have 'irqchip' in the function name.)

Wasn't Avi's point that you do have an irqchip in your KVM support?

Not in the sense of "you need to KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP it",
or in the sense of "this might be a useful thing to expose
to the user as a togglable option", which are the main
interesting architecture-independent bits of kernel_irqchip=on.

IIRC Alex said that PPC has a similar setup -- interrupts are
always sent asynchronously whether you've created the kernel
irqchip or not.

In any case I think it's much clearer to actually name things
based on what they're really testing for rather than things
that might or might not be correlated with that, even in
the (hypothetical) case that all architectures had an irqchip
if and only if they did async interrupt delivery.

...incidentally I was thinking about maybe moving kvm_irqchip_create()
from being called by kvm_init() to being called by the device
init function for the relevant irqchip (particularly we'll need
to do that if we adopt Avi's suggestion of having a parameter

This won't fly as irchip affects the whole orchestra (vcpus & irqchip
stubs in user space), at least on x86, and has to be called in the
current order. That's also why kernel_irqchip is a machine options, not
an option of one of the many device models.

Yes, to elaborate, KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP creates N+3 devices: N local APICs
(deferred until N vcpus are created), one IOAPIC, and two PICs.

We debated decoupling those devices, but since there are a lot of
intercommunication among those devices, it was deemed to difficult (plus
these were the early kvm days when we had different get it in/get it
right tradeoffs).

Yes, one of the things you'd need to do is move actual creation
of the vcpus (as opposed to the QEMU CPU QOM objects) to rather
later in the sequence than they are now.

Where you have multiple devices which all need to go the same way
you can put that in the machine model code and then have all the
devices take an option the machine model sets to say which way
they go.

(Oddities in the x86 specific bits of the KVM kernel code ought
to result in oddities in x86 specific bits of QEMU, not in
generic bits :-))

KVM VCPU creation is bound to the QOM object creation phase if we want
hotplugging support.

I dreamed of this as well before porting in-kernel irqchip support
upstream. ;)

But the point of this service is not that arch-specific in fact: By the
time you have a set of kernel irqchips that cannot reasonably be
instantiated / enabled separately, a single service helps to avoid that
userspace tries to do this mistake at all. Not all archs may have this
requirement, but a generic service needs to address it if it wants to be
generic.

Ah. I'd assumed it just meant "inject this into the kernel".

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/6] kvm: Move kvm_allows_irq0_override() to target-i386

[Peter Maydell]

kvm_allows_irq0_override() is a totally x86 specific concept:
move it to the target-specific source file where it belongs.
This means we need a new header file for the prototype:
kvm_i386.h, in line with the existing kvm_ppc.h.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/6] kvm: Don't assume irqchip-in-kernel implies irqfds

[Peter Maydell]

Instead of assuming that we can use irqfds if and only if
kvm_irqchip_in_kernel(), add a bool to the KVMState which
indicates this, and is set only on x86 and only if the
irqchip is in the kernel.

The kernel documentation implies that the only thing
you need to use KVM_IRQFD is that KVM_CAP_IRQFD is
advertised, but this seems to be untrue. In particular
the kernel does not (alas) return a sensible error if you
try to set up an irqfd when you haven't created an irqchip.
If it did we could remove all this nonsense and let the
kernel return the error code.

Why allowed vs enabled? You only have kvm_async_interrupt_injection as well.

I was trying to follow the existing pattern where the macro kvm_enabled()
tests the variable kvm_allowed (though as you noticed I got it wrong for
kvm_async_interrupt_injection: will fix that in v2.)

Having the two the same is valid C, it's just a style question whether
having a variable foo and a macro foo() is considered confusing I guess.

I don't mind which way if they are consistent.

These are ok.

This is semantically wrong. Currently, this function is only used for
irqfd. But we will also use it to prepare MSI injections by KVM device
assignment. For other (yet non-existent) in-kernel sources of MSIs we
could use it as well. The proper check is some active version of
has_gsi_routing.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/6] kvm: Add documentation comment for kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()

[Peter Maydell]

Now we've cleared out the architecture-independent uses of
kvm_irqchip_in_kernel(), we can add a doc comment describing
what it means.

If you've cleared the arch-independent uses, can't it be moved out of
the generic kvm.h? Otherwise if just the commit message is confusing me:

Could we add a white line here...

...and here, to better group the macros and their documentation?

kvm_irqchip_in_kernel is still a generic service as it probes a generic
property - that just has arch-dependent detail semantics.
