This patch adds support for stolen time by sharing a memory region
with the guest which will be used by the hypervisor to store the stolen
time information. The exact format of the structure stored by the
hypervisor is described in the ARM DEN0057A document.

 Changelog since v2:
 - Moved the AARCH64_PVTIME_* definitions from arm-common/kvm-arch.h to
   arm64/pvtime.c as pvtime is only available for arm64.

 Changelog since v1:
 - Removed the pvtime.h header file and moved the definitions to kvm-cpu-arch.h
   Verified if the stolen time capability is supported before allocating
   and mapping the memory.

This doesn't change the fact that it overlaps with KVM_PCI_MMIO_AREA, which is
exposed to the guest in the DTB (see my reply to v2).

This doesn't change the fact that it overlaps with KVM_PCI_MMIO_AREA, which is
exposed to the guest in the DTB (see my reply to v2).

Yup, this is a bit of a problem, and overlapping regions are
a big no-no. Why can't the pvtime region be dynamically placed
after the RAM (after checking that there is enough space to
register it in the IPA space)?

If we decide to go with having the pvtime region after RAM, I would prefer to
disable it if there's no room, and print a big warning letting the user know
what is happening and why, instead of silently shrinking the memory size
specified by the user.

I've CC'ed Andre, he's the last one who made changes to the memory layout when
he added the flash device.

Hi,

I think pvtime needs a command line argument to toggle it (line
--enable/disable-pvtime), with the default being enabled, for several
reasons:

- For testing purposes.

- In case the guest's (or KVM's) pvtime misbehaves (not very likeyly, I
  would say).

- The presence of this special region is not advertised in the DTB, and
  guests which are not aware of pvtime might make assumptions about the
  memory that kvmtool assigned to pvtime. For example, kvm-unit-tests uses
  a page-aligned address above RAM to get KVM to inject an abort as part of
  the selftest vectors-kernel test.

Thanks,
Alex

Why don't we just put that inside the MMIO "region", so after the RTC, for
instance? This is in a separate memslot anyway, and there is plenty of
space there for a 64K page.
I'd just add some lines to arm/include/arm-common/kvm-arch.h to that
effect.
