[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/10] make display updates thread safe.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

Second round.  Helper API should be solid now, after patch discussions
and initial testing.  API is documented now in the header file.
Additionally to vga the sparc display adapters (cg3, tcx) are converted
too.  Still quite some work until we've got them all converted.  Still
enough progress that I think posting the new revision is useful.

cheers,
  Gerd

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 02/10] memory: add support getting and using a dirty bitmap copy.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

This patch adds support for getting and using a local copy of the dirty
bitmap.

memory_region_copy_and_clear_dirty() will create a copy of the dirty
bitmap for the specified range, clear the dirty bitmap and return the
copy.  The returned bitmap can be a bit larger than requested, the range
is expanded so the code can copy unsigned longs from the bitmap and
avoid atomic bit update operations.

memory_region_copy_get_dirty() will return the dirty status of pages,
pretty much like memory_region_get_dirty(), but using the copy returned
by memory_region_copy_and_clear_dirty().

Old names in the commit message, otherwise looks good.

This will also help KVM by the way, because there are changes in the
pipeline to limit the amount of work done by log_sync and process dirty
pages periodically in the VCPU thread.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 03/10] vga: add vga_scanline_invalidated helper

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Add vga_scanline_invalidated helper to check whenever a scanline was
invalidated.  Add a sanity check to fix OOB read access for display
heights larger than 2048.

Only cirrus uses this, for hardware cursor rendering, so having this
work properly for the first 2048 scanlines only shouldn't be a problem
as the cirrus can't handle large resolutions anyway.  Also changing the
invalidated_y_table size would break live migration.

The return stmt doesn't match what you're replacing.  Are you really intending 
to modify invalidated_y_table here?

No.  Really stupid cut&paste bug.  Fixed.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 04/10] vga: make display updates thread safe.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

The vga code clears the dirty bits *after* reading the framebuffer
memory.  So if the guest framebuffer updates hits the race window
between vga reading the framebuffer and vga clearing the dirty bits
vga will miss that update

Fix it by using the new memory_region_copy_and_clear_dirty()
memory_region_copy_get_dirty() functions.  That way we clear the
dirty bitmap before reading the framebuffer.  Any guest display
updates happening in parallel will be properly tracked in the
dirty bitmap then and the next display refresh will pick them up.

Problem triggers with mttcg only.  Before mttcg was merged tcg
never ran in parallel to vga emulation.  Using kvm will hide the
problem too, due to qemu operating on a userspace copy of the
kernel's dirty bitmap.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 05/10] cg3: remove TARGET_PAGE_SIZE rounding on dirty page detection

[Gerd Hoffmann]

From: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>

This was an artifact from very early versions of the code from before the
memory API and is no longer needed.

The size here should actually be "width" rather than "width - 1" here
(this patch was originally written when the assert()s for checking the
start/end of the region size were off-by-one).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/10] tcx: introduce tcx_check_dirty() function

[Gerd Hoffmann]

From: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>

This is similar to the existing tcx24_check_dirty() function and will aid
with the transition to thread-safe updates.

Again the patch preceding this is correct, however this should be left
as "TARGET_PAGE_SIZE" rather than "TARGET_PAGE SIZE - 1" since this was
also before the assert() fixes.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/10] [testing] console: remove do_safe_dpy_refresh

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Drop the temporary workaround for the broken display updates.

TODO: before actually merging this we have to fix all display
      adapters ...

Converted so far: vga, cg3, tcx.

All in all, looks reasonably good here.

I've just noticed that TCX 24-bit is still leaving some artifacts, but
from looking at the code I'm fairly confident that it's bugs in the
existing TCX code where some of the accelerated features aren't
correctly invalidating the external color plane.

Will have a play and see if I can send a patch later.

So actually I started digging into the issues and ended up with a load
of invalidation fixes for TCX24 exposed by the thread-safe work, along
with some good clean ups.

I'll send through what I have shortly, however now that patchset has
expanded I think it's better to remove the TCX/CG3 patches from your
queue and just include the conversation to thread-safe routines.

Here's what your vga-fixes branch looks like rebased upon my patchset:
https://github.com/mcayland/qemu/commits/vga-fixes-sparc.
