Add some new interfaces for ACRN hypervisor HSM driver:
  - MMIO device passthrough
  - virtual device creating/destroying
  - platform information fetching from the hypervisor

---
ChangeLog:
v5:
 - add comments where is the userspace code that uses the new api in commit log.
 - specify the endian for some fields in struct acrn_vdev.

v4:
 - remove "RFC" from Subject field.

v3:
 - remove "platform information fetching from the hypervisor". What platform
   information needs to be fetched has not been finally decided. Will send tis
   patch out once that has been decided.
 - add comments where is the userspace code that uses this new api:
   - MMIO device passthrough
     (a) assign a MMIO device to a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L562
     (b) de-assign a MMIO device from a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L568
   - virtual device creating/destroying
     (a) create a virtual device for a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L606
     (b) destroy a virtual device of a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L612

v2:
 - remove "stable@vger.kernel.org" in the cc list since this patch set
   doesn't fix any anything, it's not for Linux -stable releases.

From: Shuo Liu <shuo.a.liu@intel.com>

MMIO device passthrough enables an OS in a virtual machine to directly
access a MMIO device in the host. It promises almost the native
performance, which is required in performance-critical scenarios of
ACRN.

HSM provides the following ioctls:
  - Assign - ACRN_IOCTL_ASSIGN_MMIODEV
    Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
    inform the hypervisor to assign a MMIO device to a User VM.

  - De-assign - ACRN_IOCTL_DEASSIGN_PCIDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
    inform the hypervisor to de-assign a MMIO device from a User VM.

These new APIs will be used by user space code vm_assign_mmiodev and
vm_deassign_mmiodev in
https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c

From: Shuo Liu <shuo.a.liu@intel.com>

The ACRN hypervisor can emulate a virtual device within hypervisor for a
Guest VM. The emulated virtual device can work without the ACRN
userspace after creation. The hypervisor do the emulation of that device.

To support the virtual device creating/destroying, HSM provides the
following ioctls:
  - ACRN_IOCTL_CREATE_VDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_vdev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform
    the hypervisor to create a virtual device for a User VM.
  - ACRN_IOCTL_DESTROY_VDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_vdev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform
    the hypervisor to destroy a virtual device of a User VM.

These new APIs will be used by user space code vm_add_hv_vdev and
vm_remove_hv_vdev in
https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c

Why is an io address only 32 bits?

And what endian is this?

Again, why only 32 bits?

Where are args defined?

Hi Greg

> Why is an io address only 32 bits?
> 

A PCI device could have six (ACRN_PCI_NUM_BARS) Base Address Registers,
Base Address registers that map into Memory Space can be 32 bits or 64
bits wide. Here doesn't mean this io address only is 32 bits.
Two io_addr could be a 64 bits io_addr which depends on the
Base Address Register Bits 3:0 Encoding.

> And what endian is this?

It's just an array which would be initialzied for index 0 to (ACRN_PCI_NUM_BARS - 1).
So I think what's the endian of it doesn't matter.

Here also doesn't mean the io_size is 32 bits. a 64 bits PCI BAR (Base Address Register)
could use two io_size element.

For different kinds of vdevs, it represents differently.
For current usages, it may be:
a) a vdev's name of a virtual PCI device which used to communicate between VMs
b) an index of virtual Uart
c) a structure to represent a virtual Root Port.

Where does that encoding show up and how is that expressed that you need
to merge multiple 32bit values into one 64bit value?

It's a 32bit number in some endian format :)

I know you all are dealing with "little endian only", but this is a
user/kernel api that should be defined properly, right?

So you are multiplexing this single structure into multiple ones
somehow?  Why not break these up and be explicit about the individual
commands happening here?  Is userspace supposed to create these bit
fields and somehow just pass them to the hypervisor properly?

I know you all are just treating the kernel as a dumb pipe here, and
that's fine, but you are adding new functions that have specific
formats, so why not break this up into the individual formats as well?
Otherwise, why break any of them up?  :)

Hi Greg

For a virtual PCI device which used to communicate between VMs, you could refer to
init_ivshmem_bar in
https://github.com/lifeix/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/hypervisor/dm/vpci/ivshmem.c#L287

For a PCI device, if the bit 0 of BAR is zero, it means this BAR is a MMIO BAR.
And in this case, if the bit[2-1] is 10b, it means this BAR is a 64 bits MMIO BAR.
This current BAR (assume its index is X) and the next BAR (which index is X+1) form
a 64 bits MMIO BAR. You may refer to Chap 7.5.1.2.1 Base Address Registers, PCI Express® Base
Specification Revision 5.0 Version 1.0 for detail.

Yes, but I'm confused when should I add the endian. IMHO, if I add the endian for this field,
I need to add endian for each field of each data structure, right ?

If the current BAR is a 64 bits MMIO BAR, we need to combine two io_size into one io_size.
Also, you may refer to Chap 7.5.1.2.1 Base Address Registers, PCI Express® Base Specification
Revision 5.0 Version 1.0 for detail.

just as you said, the linux kernel doesn't need to handle this data.
it just needs to pass this data to hypervisor and the hypervisor to
check whether this data is valid according to the id field in this data structure.
> fields and somehow just pass them to the hypervisor properly?
the userspace code only needs to copy this kind of data into args fields.
Here is an example,
https://github.com/lifeix/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/hw/pci/ivshmem.c#L169

ACRN hypervisor would do this work. The Linux kernel doesn't need to know
what the data is and what does this data use for. And it doesn't need to
know how to check this data. This also reduces the Linux kernel's workload
and saves a lot of code. :-)
