[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/2] ppc: fix spapr migration (TCG)

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

Here a couple of patches to fix the migration of spapr guests running
in TCG. This is not of the highest priority but it should work.

Waiting for your comments. Thanks !

[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/2] target-ppc: migrate interrupt vectors address for spapr VM

[Cédric Le Goater]

This address is changed by the linux kernel using the H_SET_MODE hcall
and needs to be migrated in order to restart a spapr VM running in
TCG. Other platforms should not be affected.

[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] target-ppc: fix interrupt vectors address migration

[Cédric Le Goater]

commit 2360b6e84f78 ("target-ppc: force update of msr bits in
cpu_post_load") introduced a change to restore env->excp_prefix of a
guest which could have altered its MSR_EP. To do this, cpu_post_load()
invalidates msr and then calls ppc_store_msr() with the expected value
in argument.

The problem is that ppc_store_msr() relies on a 'valid' current msr
before changing its value. The MSR_HVB and MSR_TGPR bits are excluded
from the msr reset to keep the checks valid but the MSR_IR, MSR_DR,
MSR_EP bits which are also used through the msr_{ir,dr,ep} macros, are
reseted.

This is an issue for CPUs not using MSR_EP, on the spapr platform for
instance but all book3s are impacted. If excp_prefix is restored to
some value, it will be reseted by this call, causing an ISEG exception
on spapr guests.

This patch proposal is to test the msr_mask before actually testing
the MSR_EP bit and protect excp_prefix.

Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com>

 Should we just move the test in cpu_post_load() and not reset MSR_EP
 if it is not present in msr_mask ? like this is done for MSR_HVB and
 MSR_TGPR. I think this is making assumptions on what ppc_store_msr()
 is up to though.

 Maybe we could add a POWERPC_FLAGS_ for this purpose ? or test the
 excp_model ?
 
 There is room for improvement in ppc_store_msr(). It might need a new
 helper like ppc_restore_msr() ?

 Suggestions welcomed.

I'm really no expert with all this migration stuff, but don't you have
to bump the version_id when you add new fields to the vmstate?
... and/or use VMSTATE_UINTTL_V() so that migration from older versions
of QEMU to the current one also still works with KVM? For example, is it
still possible to migrate from QEMU 2.5 to QEMU 2.6 in KVM if you only
use VMSTATE_UINTTL without the _V suffix?

No we really want to use the _V version here: it indicates that starting with
this version (v6), cpu objects stream env.excp_prefix.

Yes. You are right. I think we need something like below.

It looks much better !

And just to be sure: this only affects TCG because excp_prefix isn't accessed by
QEMU when running with KVM, right ?

If the answer is as simple as yes, then:

So, I dislike putting what's essentially emulator internal state (as
opposed to architected state) into the migration stream if we can
possibly avoid it.

I think recalculating excp_prefix from the MSR on incoming migration
is the correct approach here - I see that there are bugs with that in
the other patch, but so far I'm not seeing a reason to migrate
excp_prefix itself.

So, IIUC, in spapr MSR[EP] can't be set with mtmsr or rfid, but can be
set with H_SET_MODE?

I think what we need to do is to make sure the full MSR value is
migrated then, even if EP is not in the msr_mask.  Once that's done,
we should be able to correctly calculate excp_prefix from the MSR
value after migration.

Or am I missing something?
