* semihosting: Allow optional use of semihosting from userspacePeter Maydell2022-09-131-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently our semihosting implementations generally prohibit use of semihosting calls in system emulation from the guest userspace. This is a very long standing behaviour justified originally "to provide some semblance of security" (since code with access to the semihosting ABI can do things like read and write arbitrary files on the host system). However, it is sometimes useful to be able to run trusted guest code which performs semihosting calls from guest userspace, notably for test code. Add a command line suboption to the existing semihosting-config option group so that you can explicitly opt in to semihosting from guest userspace with -semihosting-config userspace=on (There is no equivalent option for the user-mode emulator, because there by definition all code runs in userspace and has access to semihosting already.) This commit adds the infrastructure for the command line option and adds a bool 'is_user' parameter to the function semihosting_userspace_enabled() that target code can use to check whether it should be permitting the semihosting call for userspace. It mechanically makes all the callsites pass 'false', so they continue checking "is semihosting enabled in general". Subsequent commits will make each target that implements semihosting honour the userspace=on option by passing the correct value and removing whatever "don't do this for userspace" checking they were doing by hand.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paolo Bonzini requested this change to simplify the ongoing effort to allow machine setup entirely via RPC. Includes shortening the command line form cxl-fixed-memory-window to cxl-fmw as the command lines are extremely long even with this change.

| * hw/cxl/host: Add support for CXL Fixed Memory Windows.Jonathan Cameron2022-05-131-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The concept of these is introduced in [1] in terms of the description the CEDT ACPI table. The principal is more general. Unlike once traffic hits the CXL root bridges, the host system memory address routing is implementation defined and effectively static once observable by standard / generic system software. Each CXL Fixed Memory Windows (CFMW) is a region of PA space which has fixed system dependent routing configured so that accesses can be routed to the CXL devices below a set of target root bridges. The accesses may be interleaved across multiple root bridges. For QEMU we could have fully specified these regions in terms of a base PA + size, but as the absolute address does not matter it is simpler to let individual platforms place the memory regions. ExampleS: -cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.0,size=128G -cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.1,size=128G -cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl0,targets.1=cxl.1,size=256G,interleave-granularity=2k Specifies * 2x 128G regions not interleaved across root bridges, one for each of the root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1 * 256G region interleaved across root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1 with a 2k interleave granularity. When system software enumerates the devices below a given root bridge it can then decide which CFMW to use. If non interleave is desired (or possible) it can use the appropriate CFMW for the root bridge in question. If there are suitable devices to interleave across the two root bridges then it may use the 3rd CFMS. A number of other designs were considered but the following constraints made it hard to adapt existing QEMU approaches to this particular problem. 1) The size must be known before a specific architecture / board brings up it's PA memory map. We need to set up an appropriate region. 2) Using links to the host bridges provides a clean command line interface but these links cannot be established until command line devices have been added. Hence the two step process used here of first establishing the size, interleave-ways and granularity + caching the ids of the host bridges and then, once available finding the actual host bridges so they can be used later to support interleave decoding.

* | introduce -audio as a replacement for -soundhwPaolo Bonzini2022-05-141-27/+24Star
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | -audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as -soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding the audiodev to the codec device. In the future, it could be extended to support default models or builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now, keep it simple.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ARM64 machines like Kunpeng Family Server Chips have a level of hardware topology in which a group of CPU cores share L3 cache tag or L2 cache. For example, Kunpeng 920 typically has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node (also represent range of CPU die), and each cluster has 4 CPU cores. All clusters share L3 cache data, but CPU cores in each cluster share a local L3 tag. Running a guest kernel with Cluster-Aware Scheduling on the Hosts which have physical clusters, if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for guest kernel and then have a dedicated vCPU pinning, the guest will gain scheduling performance improvement from cache affinity of CPU cluster. So let's enable the support for this new parameter on ARM virt machines. After this patch, we can define a 4-level CPU hierarchy like: cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,clusters=*, cores=*,threads=*.

* hw/core/machine: Introduce CPU cluster topology supportYanan Wang2021-12-311-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16, which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g. load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64. So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters. struct cpu_topology { int thread_id; int core_id; int cluster_id; int package_id; int llc_id; cpumask_t thread_sibling; cpumask_t core_sibling; cpumask_t cluster_sibling; cpumask_t llc_sibling; } A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node, and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage. In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters to gain similar scheduling performance. This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster parameter if their machines support it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a description in qemu-options.hx for each CPU topology parameter to explain what it exactly means, and also an extra declaration for the target-specific one, e.g. "for PC only" when describing "dies", and "for PC, it's on one die" when describing "cores". Now we are going to introduce one more non-generic parameter "clusters", it will make the Doc less readable and if we still continue to use the legacy way to describe it. So let's at first make two tweaks of the Docs to improve the readability and also scalability: 1) In the -help text: Delete the extra specific declaration and describe each topology parameter level by level.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "dbus" display backend exports the QEMU consoles and other UI-related interfaces over D-Bus. By default, the connection is established on the session bus, but you can specify a different bus with the "addr" option. The backend takes the "org.qemu" service name, while still allowing further instances to queue on the same name (so you can lookup all the available instances too). It accepts any number of clients at this point, although this is expected to evolve with options to restrict clients, or only accept p2p via fd passing. The interface is intentionally very close to the internal QEMU API, and can be introspected or interacted with busctl/dfeet etc: $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -name MyVM -display dbus $ busctl --user introspect org.qemu /org/qemu/Display1/Console_0 org.qemu.Display1.Console interface - - - .RegisterListener method h - - .SetUIInfo method qqiiuu - - .DeviceAddress property s "pci/0000/01.0" emits-change .Head property u 0 emits-change .Height property u 480 emits-change .Label property s "VGA" emits-change .Type property s "Graphic" emits-change .Width property u 640 emits-change [...] See the interfaces XML source file and Sphinx docs for the generated API documentations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently, Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a cross-reference. This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments. Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the "content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

* machine: Prefer cores over sockets in smp parsing since 6.2Yanan Wang2021-10-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world. Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility, we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing since machine type 6.2 for different arches. In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like: -smp maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16 not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work. So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be: When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus. When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus. Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

* vl: Add sgx compound properties to expose SGX EPC sections to guestSean Christopherson2021-09-301-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because SGX EPC is enumerated through CPUID, EPC "devices" need to be realized prior to realizing the vCPUs themselves, i.e. long before generic devices are parsed and realized. From a virtualization perspective, the CPUID aspect also means that EPC sections cannot be hotplugged without paravirtualizing the guest kernel (hardware does not support hotplugging as EPC sections must be locked down during pre-boot to provide EPC's security properties). So even though EPC sections could be realized through the generic -devices command, they need to be created much earlier for them to actually be usable by the guest. Place all EPC sections in a contiguous block, somewhat arbitrarily starting after RAM above 4g. Ensuring EPC is in a contiguous region simplifies calculations, e.g. device memory base, PCI hole, etc..., allows dynamic calculation of the total EPC size, e.g. exposing EPC to guests does not require -maxmem, and last but not least allows all of EPC to be enumerated in a single ACPI entry, which is expected by some kernels, e.g. Windows 7 and 8. The new compound properties command for sgx like below: ...... -object memory-backend-epc,id=mem1,size=28M,prealloc=on \ -object memory-backend-epc,id=mem2,size=10M \ -M sgx-epc.0.memdev=mem1,sgx-epc.1.memdev=mem2 Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Yang Zhong <yang.zhong@intel.com> Message-Id: <20210719112136.57018-6-yang.zhong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -display sdl option is not using QAPI internally yet, and uses hand- crafted parsing instead (see parse_display() in vl.c), which is quite ugly, since most of the other code is using the QAPIfied DisplayOption already. Unfortunately, the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" use underscores in their names which has recently been forbidden in new QAPI code, so a straight conversion is not possible. While we could add some exceptions to the QAPI schema parser for this, the way these parameters have been designed was maybe a bad idea anyway: First, it's not possible to enable both parameters at the same time, thus instead of two boolean parameters it would be better to have only one multi-choice parameter instead. Second, the naming is also somewhat unfortunate since the "alt_grab" parameter is not about the ALT key, but rather about the left SHIFT key that has to be used additionally when the parameter is enabled. So instead of trying to QAPIfy "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab", let's rather introduce an alternative to these parameters instead, a new parameter called "grab-mod" which can either be set to "lshift-lctrl-lalt" or to "rctrl". In case we ever want to support additional modes later, we can then also simply extend the list of supported strings here.
