Curently KVM ARM64 doesn't support to compile as a kernel module. It's
useful to compile KVM as a module. For example, it could reload kvm
without rebooting host machine.

This patchset support this feature while there are some limitations
to be solved. But I just send it out as RFC to get more suggestion and
comments.

The patchset could be fetched from:
https://github.com/shannonz88/linux/tree/kvm_module

Curently it only supports for VHE system due to the hyp code section
address variables like __hyp_text_start. Also it can't call
kvm_update_va_mask when loading kvm module and kernel panic with below
errors. So I make kern_hyp_va into a nop funtion.

It needs to cleanup irq setup for host_vtimer_irq when
request_percpu_irq fails for host_ptimer_irq. It needs to cleanup irq
setup for both host_vtimer_irq and host_ptimer_irq when seeting vcpu
affinity error as well.

  Cc: linux-kernel, linux-arm-kernel

This patch adds support for KVM ARM64 to be compiled as a kernel module.
It makes the CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST as a tristate option and adds a new
config option CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST_VHE_ONLY to ensure that kernel module
feature only supports for VHE system.

What problem does this solve?

KVM has some funny requirements that aren't normal for a module. On v8.0 hardware it must
have an idmap. Modules don't usually expect their code to be physically contiguous, but
KVM does. KVM influences they way some of the irqchip stuff is set up during early boot
(EOI mode ... not that I understand it).

(I think KVM-as-a-module on x86 is an artifact of how it was developed)

We still need to support !VHE systems, and we need to do it with a single image.

Making this work for the single-Image on v8.0 is going to be a tremendous amount of work.
What is the payoff?


Thanks,

We change the EOImode solely based on how we were booted (EL2 or not).
KVM doesn't directly influences that (it comes in the picture much
later).

I can only agree. !VHE is something we're going to support for the 
foreseeable
future (which is roughly equivalent to "forever"), and modules have 
properties
that are fundamentally incompatible with the way KVM works with !VHE.

If the only purpose of this work is to be able to swap KVM 
implementations
in a development environment, then it really isn't worth the effort.

I didn't make it clear. With this patchset we still support !VHE systems 
by choose CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST as y and by default CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST is 
y. And during module init, I add a check to avoid wrong usage for kvm 
module.

if (IS_MODULE(CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST) && !is_kernel_in_hyp_mode()) {
         kvm_err("kvm arm kernel module only supports for VHE system\n");
         return -ENODEV;
}

Actually we can limit this feature only working for VHE systems and 
don't influence !VHE systems.

Yes, with this patchset we still support !VHE system with built-in KVM. 
While for VHE system we could support kernel module and check at module 
init to avoid wrong usage of kvm module on !VHE systems.

Making KVM as a kernel module has many advantages both for development 
and real use environment. For example, we can backport and update KVM 
codes independently and don't need to recompile kernel. Also making KVM 
as a kernel module is a basic for kvm hot upgrade feature without 
shutdown VMs and hosts. This is very important for Cloud Service 
Provider to provides non-stop services for its customers.

Thanks,
Shannon

But KVM on arm64 is pretty intertwined with the rest of the kernel, and
things like the arch timers, for example, really depend on the exact
semantics of how the rest of the kernel changes.  I fear that you'd end
up back-porting patches that depend on changes to irqchip and timers in
the core code, and you'll get even more oddly-defined behavior in the
wild.

How would you manage that, and how would the end result be a more stable
environment than what you have today?

Also, I'm curious if you expect to find more bugs in the hypervisor
itself than in the rest of the kernel, because it's only in the former
case you can avoid a reboot of the host, and all things considered this
would appear to only help in a small fraction of the cases where you
have to patch things?


Thanks,

How do you reconcile this with the need to have a single kernel image 
that
is full-featured on all architecture revisions? In your view of the 
world,
it is OK to have a VHE-specific kernel that won't have KVM on a v8.0 
system.
 From my point of view, this simply isn't acceptable.

The goal is certainly commendable.

But pretending that KVM is fully independent from the rest of the 
kernel is
an intellectual fallacy. Most of the issues that affect KVM at any 
given time
are actually core kernel issues that cannot be solved by just updating 
the
KVM module. You need to update the whole thing, not just the tiny bit 
that
switches between host and guests.
