2015-02-13virtual: Documentation: simplify and generalize paravirt_ops.txtLuis R. Rodriguez4-138/+36
The general documentation we have for pv_ops is currenty present on the IA64 docs, but since this documentation covers IA64 xen enablement and IA64 Xen support got ripped out a while ago through commit d52eefb47 present since v3.14-rc1 lets just simplify, generalize and move the pv_ops documentation to a shared place.

2015-02-11lguest: remove NOTIFY call and eventfd facility.Rusty Russell6-215/+10
Disappointing, as this was kind of neat (especially getting to use RCU to manage the address -> eventfd mapping). But now the devices are PCI handled in userspace, we get rid of both the NOTIFY hypercall and the interface to connect an eventfd. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: remove NOTIFY facility from demonstration launcher.Rusty Russell1-24/+1
This was only used for early console, now we can get rid of it altogether. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: use the PCI console device's emerg_wr for early boot messages.Rusty Russell1-12/+134
This involves manually checking the console device (which is always in slot 1 of bus 0) and using the window in VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_PCI_CFG to program it (as we can't map the BAR yet). We could in fact do this much earlier, but we wait for the first write from the virtio_cons_early_init() facility. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: always put console in PCI slot #1.Rusty Russell1-3/+3
This simplifies the early probe. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: support backdoor window.Rusty Russell1-1/+100
The VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_PCI_CFG in the PCI virtio 1.0 spec allows access to the BAR registers without mapping them. This is a compulsory feature, and we implement it here. There are some subtleties involving access widths which we should note: 4.1.4.7.1 Device Requirements: PCI configuration access capability ... Upon detecting driver write access to pci_cfg_data, the device MUST execute a write access at offset cap.offset at BAR selected by cap.bar using the first cap.length bytes from pci_cfg_data. Upon detecting driver read access to pci_cfg_data, the device MUST execute a read access of length cap.length at offset cap.offset at BAR selected by cap.bar and store the first cap.length bytes in pci_cfg_data. So, for a write, we copy into the pci_cfg_data window, then write from there out to the BAR. This works correctly if cap.length != width of write. Similarly, for a read, we read into window from the BAR then read the value from there. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: support emerg_wr in console device in example launcher.Rusty Russell1-3/+14
This is a magic register which causes a character to be outputted: it can be used even before the device is configured. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: remove lguest bus definitions from header.Rusty Russell1-47/+2

2015-02-11lguest: remove support for lguest bus.Rusty Russell2-543/+0
The demonstration launcher now uses PCI entirely. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: define VIRTIO_CONFIG_NO_LEGACY in example launcher.Rusty Russell1-0/+1
We only support virtio 1.0 now Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: Convert net device to virtio 1.0 PCI.Rusty Russell1-20/+28
The only real change here (other than using the PCI bus) is that we didn't negotiate VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF before, so the format of the packet header changed with virtio 1.0; we need TUNSETVNETHDRSZ on the tun fd to tell it about the extra two bytes. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: Convert block device to virtio 1.0 PCI.Rusty Russell1-21/+9
We remove SCSI support (which was removed for 1.0) and VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH feature flag (removed too, since it's compulsory for 1.0). The rest is mainly mechanical. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add a dummy PCI host bridge.Rusty Russell1-0/+14
Otherwise Linux fails to find the bus. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: fix failure to find linux/virtio_types.hRusty Russell1-1/+7
We want to use the local kernel headers, but -I../../include/uapi leads us into a world of hurt. Instead we create a dummy include/ dir with symlinks. If we just use #include "../../include/uapi/linux/virtio_blk.h" we get: ../../include/uapi/linux/virtio_blk.h:31:32: fatal error: linux/virtio_types.h: No such file or directory #include <linux/virtio_types.h> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: implement virtio-PCI MMIO accesses.Rusty Russell1-2/+490
For each device, We need to include the vendor capabilities to demark where virtio common, notification and ISR regions are (we put them all in BAR0). We need to handle the switching of the virtqueues using the accessors. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add PCI config space emulation to example launcher.Rusty Russell1-5/+211
This handles ioport 0xCF8 and 0xCFC accesses, which are used to read/write PCI device config space. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: decode mmio accesses for PCI in example launcher.Rusty Russell1-0/+167
We don't do anything with them yet (emulate_mmio_write and emulate_mmio_read are stubs), but we decode the instructions and search for the device they're hitting. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add MMIO region allocator in example launcher.Rusty Russell1-5/+23
This is where we point our PCI BARs, so that we can intercept MMIO accesses. We tell the kernel about it so any faults in this area are directed to us. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: Override pcibios_enable_irq/pcibios_disable_irq to our stupid PICRusty Russell1-0/+24
This lets us deliver interrupts for our emulated PCI devices using our dumb PIC, and not emulate an 8259 and PCI irq mapping tables or whatever. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: disable ACPI explicitly.Rusty Russell1-0/+4
Once we add PCI, it starts trying to manage our interrupts. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add iomem region, where guest page faults get sent to userspace.Rusty Russell5-7/+58
This lets us implement PCI. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: don't disable iospace.Rusty Russell1-8/+0
This no longer speeds up boot (IDE got better, I guess), but it does stop us probing for a PCI bus. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: suppress PS/2 keyboard polling.Rusty Russell1-0/+4
While hacking on getting I/O out to the lguest launcher, I noticed that returning 0xFF for the PS/2 keyboard status made it spin for a while thinking there was a key pending. Fix this by returning 1 instead of 0xFF. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: send trap 13 through to userspace.Rusty Russell2-90/+192
We copy 7 bytes at eip for userspace's instruction decode; we have to carefully handle the case where eip is at the end of a page. We can't leave this to userspace since kernel has all the page table decode logic. The decode logic moves to userspace, basically unchanged. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add infrastructure to check mappings.Rusty Russell2-13/+30
We normally abort the guest unconditionally when it gives us a bad address, but in the next patch we want to copy some bytes which may not be mapped. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add infrastructure for userspace to deliver a trap to the guest.Rusty Russell2-0/+20
This is required for instruction emulation to move to userspace. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: write more information to userspace about pending traps.Rusty Russell6-18/+42
This is preparation for userspace handling MMIO and ioport accesses. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: add operations to get/set a register from the Launcher.Rusty Russell5-0/+108
We use the ptrace API struct, and we currently don't let them set anything but the normal registers (we'd have to filter the others). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: have --rng read from /dev/urandom not /dev/random.Rusty Russell1-5/+5
Theoretical debates aside, now it boots. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11virtio: don't require a config space on the console device.Rusty Russell1-1/+4
Strictly, it's only needed when we have features (size or multiport). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11virtio_pci: use 16-bit accessor for queue_enable.Rusty Russell1-2/+2
Since PCI is little endian, 8-bit access might work, but the spec section is very clear on this: 4.1.3.1 Driver Requirements: PCI Device Layout The driver MUST access each field using the “natural” access method, i.e. 32-bit accesses for 32-bit fields, 16-bit accesses for 16-bit fields and 8-bit accesses for 8-bit fields.

2015-02-11virtio: Don't expose legacy config features when VIRTIO_CONFIG_NO_LEGACY defined.Rusty Russell1-0/+2
The VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT and VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY features are pre-1.0 only. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2015-02-11virtio: Don't expose legacy block features when VIRTIO_BLK_NO_LEGACY defined.Rusty Russell1-4/+13
This allows modern implementations to ensure they don't use legacy feature bits or SCSI commands (which are not used in v1.0 non-legacy). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2015-02-11virtio: define VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_PCI_CFG in header.Rusty Russell1-1/+3
This provides backdoor access to the device MMIOs, and every device should have one. From the virtio 1.0 spec (CS03): 4.1.4.7.1 Device Requirements: PCI configuration access capability The device MUST present at least one VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_PCI_CFG capability.

2015-02-11virtio: Avoid possible kernel panic if DEBUG is enabled.Tetsuo Handa1-3/+3
The virtqueue_add() calls START_USE() upon entry. The virtqueue_kick() is called if vq->num_added == (1 << 16) - 1 before calling END_USE(). The virtqueue_kick_prepare() called via virtqueue_kick() calls START_USE() upon entry, and will call panic() if DEBUG is enabled. Move this virtqueue_kick() call to after END_USE() call.

2015-01-23virtio-mmio: Update the device to OASIS spec versionPawel Moll2-57/+118
This patch add a support for second version of the virtio-mmio device, which follows OASIS "Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0" specification. Main changes: 1. The control register symbolic names use the new device/driver nomenclature rather than the old guest/host one. 2. The driver detect the device version (version 1 is the pre-OASIS spec, version 2 is compatible with fist revision of the OASIS spec) and drives the device accordingly. 3. New version uses direct addressing (64 bit address split into two low/high register) instead of the guest page size based one, and addresses each part of the queue (descriptors, available, used) separately. 4. The device activity is now explicitly triggered by writing to the "queue ready" register. 5. Whole 64 bit features are properly handled now (both ways).

release function in modern driver is unused: it's a left-over from when each driver had to have its own release. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2015-01-21virtio_pci: add module param to force legacy modeMichael S. Tsirkin1-4/+21

2015-01-21virtio_pci_modern: support devices with no configMichael S. Tsirkin1-2/+19

2015-01-21virtio_pci_modern: reduce number of mappingsMichael S. Tsirkin2-8/+52
We don't know the # of VQs that drivers are going to use so it's hard to predict how much memory we'll need to map. However, the relevant capability does give us an upper limit. If that's below a page, we can reduce the number of required mappings by mapping it all once ahead of the time. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
