[Qemu-devel] [RFC v3 0/3] vITS save/restore

[Eric Auger]

This series allows ITS save/restore and migration use cases.
It relies on not upstreamed kernel series [1].

ITS tables are flushed into guest RAM on VM stop while registers
are save on pre_save() callback. Tables and registers are restored
on ITS post_load().

That work was tested on Cavium ThunderX using virsh save/restore and
virt-manager live migration.

Best Regards

Eric

- [1] [PATCH v4 00/22] vITS save/restore

History:

v2 -> v3:
- GITS_IIDR is now saved and restored to check ABI revision.
- get/put functions renamed into pre_save/post_load
- unmigratable = false removed
- changed the migration blocker message
- remove the extract64 round s->ctlr
- reword some comments

v1 -> v2:
- rebase on 2.9 soft release code
- handle case where migrate_add_blocker fails
- add comments along with ITS and GICv3 migration priorities

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v3 1/3] linux-headers: Partial header update for vITS save/restore

[Eric Auger]

This is a linux header update against 4.11-rc3 plus the non
upstreamed ITS migration series.

https://github.com/eauger/linux/tree/v4.11-rc3-its-mig-v4

It aims at enhancing the KVM user API with vITS save/restore
capability. This consists in two new groups for the
ARM_VGIC_ITS KVM device, named: KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_REGS,
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_TABLES.

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v3 2/3] hw/intc/arm_gicv3_its: Implement state save/restore

[Eric Auger]

We need to handle both registers and ITS tables. While
register handling is standard, ITS table handling is more
challenging since the kernel API is devised so that the
tables are flushed into guest RAM and not in vmstate buffers.

Flushing the ITS tables on device pre_save() is too late
since the guest RAM is already saved at this point.

Table flushing needs to happen when we are sure the vcpus
are stopped and before the last dirty page saving. The
right point is RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE but sometimes the
VM gets stopped before migration launch so let's simply
flush the tables each time the VM gets stopped.

For regular ITS registers we just can use vmstate pre_save()
and post_load() callbacks.

v2 -> v3:
- take into account Peter's comments:
  - add iidr save/restore
  - reword comments
  - remove s->ctlr = extract64(reg, 0, 32);
  - rename get()/put() function into pre_save()/post_load()
- do not execute put() if iidr == 0

[Eric Auger]

We change the restoration priority of both the GICv3 and ITS. The
GICv3 must be restored before the ITS and the ITS needs to be restored
before PCIe devices since it translates their MSI transactions.

Just curious, how slow is doing that in all stops?

I assume that two functions are right.  I have no clue about ARM.

Let me see if I understood this correctly.

We have an ARM_GICV3_ITS_COMMON.  And that has some fields.
In particular:

struct GICv3ITSState {
    /* Registers */
    uint32_t ctlr;
    uint64_t cbaser;
    uint64_t cwriter;
    uint64_t creadr;
    uint64_t baser[8];
    /* lots of things removed */
};



We have this in arm_gicv3_its_common.c  (it is exactly the same for
post_load, so we forgot about it by now).


static void gicv3_its_pre_save(void *opaque)
{
    GICv3ITSState *s = (GICv3ITSState *)opaque; (*)
                                                   /* nitpit: the cast
                                                   is useless */
    GICv3ITSCommonClass *c = ARM_GICV3_ITS_COMMON_GET_CLASS(s);

    if (c->pre_save) {
        c->pre_save(s);
    }
}

And then we have in the patch:

>

struct GICv3ITSCommonClass {
....
    void (*pre_save)(GICv3ITSState *s);
    void (*post_load)(GICv3ITSState *s);
};


Notice that I have only found one user of this on the tree, so I don't
know if there is a good reason for this.


static void gicv3_its_common_class_init(ObjectClass *klass, void *data)
{
    DeviceClass *dc = DEVICE_CLASS(klass);

    dc->reset = gicv3_its_common_reset;
    dc->vmsd = &vmstate_its;
}

So, what if we change:

const VMSField vmstate_its_fields[] = {
     VMSTATE_UINT32(ctlr, GICv3ITSState),
     VMSTATE_UINT32(iidr, GICv3ITSState),
     VMSTATE_UINT64(cbaser, GICv3ITSState),
     VMSTATE_UINT64(cwriter, GICv3ITSState),
     VMSTATE_UINT64(creadr, GICv3ITSState),
     VMSTATE_UINT64_ARRAY(baser, GICv3ITSState, 8),
     VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST()
};



Remove the dc->vmsd = &vmstate_its; from gicv3_its_common_class_init();

And we add in arm_gicv3_its_kvm.c


static const VMStateDescription vmstate_its_kvm = {
    .name = "arm_gicv3_its",
    .pre_save = kvm_arm_its_pre_save,
    .post_load = kvm_arm_its_post_load,
    .fields = &vmsate_its_fields;
    },
};

And add the:

dc->vmstate = &vmastet_its_kvm;

into kvm_arm_its_class_init()?

And be with it?  Or it is too late by then?

I am assuming that there is some reason why we want to call
arm_gicv3_its either for kvm or for anything else.  But IMHO, you are
making things more complicated that they need to be.

My understanding:
- We have GICv3 ITS state
- We want to have several implementations
- We want to be able to migration from one to another


Or have I missed something?

Notice that I like more this other approach, but as far as I can see,
yours should also work.

Thanks, Juan.

This is just following the existing pattern we have for
the GICv3 itself (and the GICv2, for that matter).
At some point we'll implement the emulated ITS which
will share the base class (and the vmstate).

Do you want this to happen in this series or do you think this can be

Yes at the moment it may look over-complicated but as Peter answered
this prepares for TCG ITS MSI controler model.

The flush of the ITS tables takes about 40 microseconds in my use case
(measured with gettimeofday).
