The following series implements KVM support for ARM processors,
specifically on the Cortex A-15 platform.
Work is done in collaboration between Columbia University, Virtual Open
Systems and ARM/Linaro.
The patch series applies to Linux 3.8-rc3.
The series relies on two additional patches in Will Deacon's perf tree:
ARM: Define CPU part numbers and implementors
ARM: Use implementor and part defines from cputype.h
This is Version 16 of the patch series, the first 10 versions were
reviewed on the KVM/ARM and KVM mailing lists. Changes can also be
pulled from:
git://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm.git
branch: kvm-arm-v16
branch: kvm-arm-v16-vgic
branch: kvm-arm-v16-vgic-timers
A non-flattened edition of the patch series, which can always be merged,
can be found at:
git://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm.git kvm-arm-master
This patch series requires QEMU compatibility. Use the branch
git://github.com/virtualopensystems/qemu.git kvm-arm
There is also WIP QEMU patches to support virtio on ARM:
git://github.com/virtualopensystems/qemu.git kvm-arm-virtio
There is also a rebasing WIP branch with support for huge pages:
git://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm.git kvm-arm-hugetlb
Finally there is kvmtool support available for the mach-virt machine:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/kvmtool.git
Following this patch series, which implements core KVM support, are two
other patch series implementing Virtual Generic Interrupt Controller
(VGIC) support and Architected Generic Timers. All three patch series
should be applied for full QEMU compatibility.
The implementation is broken up into a logical set of patches, the first
are preparatory patches:
1. ARM: Add page table defines for KVM
2. ARM: Section based HYP idmaps
The main implementation is broken up into separate patches, the first
containing a skeleton of files, makefile changes, the basic user space
interface and KVM architecture specific stubs. Subsequent patches
implement parts of the system as listed:
3. Skeleton and reset hooks
4. Hypervisor initialization
5. Memory virtualization setup (hyp mode mappings and 2nd stage)
6. Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspace
7. World-switch implementation and Hyp exception vectors
8. Emulation framework and coproc emulation
9. Coproc user space API
10. Demux multiplexed coproc registers
11. User spac API to get/set VFP registers
12. Handle guest user memory aborts
13. Handle guest MMIO aborts
14. Support PSCI interface
15. Add an entry in the MAINTAINERS file
Testing:
Tested on the Versatile Express TC2 devboard and on the Arndale board.
running simultaenous VMs, all running SMP, on an SMP host, each
VM running hackbench and cyclictest and with extreme memory pressure
applied to the host with swapping enabled to provoke page eviction.
Also tested KSM merging swapping on the host. Fully boots both Ubuntu
(user space Thumb-2) and Debian (user space ARM) guests each of which
can run a number of worloads like apache, mysql, kernel compile, network
tests, and more.
