From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christoffer Dall Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Support userspace irqchip with arch timers Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 11:28:10 +0200 Message-ID: <20170405092815.22503-1-cdall@linaro.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org, Christoffer Dall , Marc Zyngier , Pekka Enberg To: kvmarm@lists.cs.columbia.edu, linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: kvmarm-bounces@lists.cs.columbia.edu Sender: kvmarm-bounces@lists.cs.columbia.edu List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org This series is the second version of the rework of the patches to support architected timers with a userspace irqchip sent by Alexander Graf [1]. We first cleanup some of the timer code to make it easier to understand what is being done in the later patches, and then define the ABI, implement timers support, implement PMU support, and finally advertise the features. These patches are based on the recent work from Jintack to support the physical timer in addition to the virtual timer. This series including its dependencies can be found here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cdall/linux.git irqs-to-user-v3 I tested this using Alex's QEMU patch with his fixes for SMP applied. This seems to be rock-solid. The temporary-not-for-upstream-but-for-testing patch can be found here (force-pushed and rebased since v2): https://git.linaro.org/people/christoffer.dall/qemu-arm.git no-kvm-irqchip I also tested it on 32-bit and it looks good there as well. Changes since v2: - Actually push the right content to the kernel branch, sorry. - Rebased on kvmarm/queue as of this morning (v4.11-rc1+ stuff) - Changed IOCTL numbers as needed Changes since v1: - Rework the ABI to support devices in general as opposed to just timers - Support the PMU in addition to timers - Also support the physical timer (rebased on Jintack's work) - Updated some comments where I noticed things were out of date. Several changes have been made compared to v7 of the original single patch, including: - Rewording ABI documentation to be more in line with the ARM architecture - Add an explicit check for needing to notify userspace of a level change instead of propagating the value - Changes to commenting throughout to more accurately describe the architecture concepts we try to maintain - Reword of functions, for example from sync to update when the date only flows one direction [1]: https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2016-September/021867.html [2]: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm.git next Alexander Graf (2): KVM: arm/arm64: Add ARM user space interrupt signaling ABI KVM: arm/arm64: Support arch timers with a userspace gic Christoffer Dall (3): KVM: arm/arm64: Cleanup the arch timer code's irqchip checking KVM: arm/arm64: Report PMU overflow interrupts to userspace irqchip KVM: arm/arm64: Advertise support for KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt | 42 +++++++++++++ arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 2 + arch/arm/kvm/arm.c | 28 ++++++--- arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 2 + include/kvm/arm_arch_timer.h | 2 + include/kvm/arm_pmu.h | 7 +++ include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 8 +++ virt/kvm/arm/arch_timer.c | 127 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- virt/kvm/arm/pmu.c | 42 +++++++++++-- 9 files changed, 221 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) -- 2.9.0 From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: cdall@linaro.org (Christoffer Dall) Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 11:28:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Support userspace irqchip with arch timers Message-ID: <20170405092815.22503-1-cdall@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This series is the second version of the rework of the patches to support architected timers with a userspace irqchip sent by Alexander Graf [1].
