Currently, QEMU supports emulating either stage-1 or stage-2 SMMUs
but not nested instances.
This patch series adds support for nested translation in SMMUv3,
this is controlled by property “arm-smmuv3.stage=nested”, and
advertised to guests as (IDR0.S1P == 1 && IDR0.S2P == 2)
Main changes(architecture):
============================
1) CDs are considered IPA and translated with stage-2.
2) TTBx and tables for stage-1 are considered IPA and translated
with stage-2.
3) Translate the IPA address with stage-2.
TLBs:
======
TLBs are the most tricky part.
1) General design
Unified(Combined) design is used, where entries with ASID=-1 are
IPAs(cached from stage-2 config)
TLBs are also modified to cache 2 permissions, a new permission added
"parent_perm."
For non-nested configuration, perm == parent_perm and nothing
changes. This is used to know which stage to use in case there is
a permission fault from a TLB entry.
2) Caching in TLB
Stage-1 and stage-2 are inserted in the TLB as is.
For nested translation, both entries are combined into one TLB
entry. The size (level and granule) are chosen from the smallest entries.
That means that a stage-1 translation can be cached with sage-2
granule in key, this is taken into account for lookup.
3) TLB Lookup
TLB lookup already uses ASID in key, so it can distinguish between
stage-1 and stage-2.
And as mentioned above, the granule for stage-1 can be different,
If stage-1 lookup failed, we try again with the stage-2 granule.
4) TLB invalidation
- Address invalidation is split, for IOVA(CMD_TLBI_NH_VA
/CMD_TLBI_NH_VAA) and IPA(CMD_TLBI_S2_IPA) based on ASID value
- CMD_TLBI_NH_ASID/CMD_TLBI_NH_ALL: Consider VMID if stage-2 is
supported, and invalidate stage-1 only by VMIDs
As far as I understand, this is compliant with the ARM architecture:
- ARM ARM DDI 0487J.a: RLGSCG, RTVTYQ, RGNJPZ
- ARM IHI 0070F.b: 16.2 Caching
An alternative approach would be to instantiate 2 TLBs, one per each
stage. I haven’t investigated that.
Others
=======
- Advertise SMMUv3.2-S2FWB, it is NOP for QEMU as it doesn’t support
attributes.
- OAS: A typical setup with nesting is to share CPU stage-2 with the
SMMU, and according to the user manual, SMMU OAS must match the
system physical address.
This was discussed before in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230226220650.1480786-11-smost...@google.com/
This series doesn’t implement that, but reworks OAS to make it easier
to configure in the future.
- For nested configuration, IOVA notifier only notifies for stage-1
invalidations (as far as I understand this is the intended
behaviour as it notifies for IOVA).
- Stop ignoring VMID for stage-1 if stage-2 is also supported.
Future improvements:
=====================
1) One small improvement, that I don’t think it’s worth the extra
complexity, is in case of Stage-1 TLB miss for nested translation,
we can do stage-1 walk and lookup for stage-2 TLBs, instead of
doing the full walk.
Testing
========
1) IOMMUFD + VFIO
Kernel: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1683688960.git.nicol...@nvidia.com/
VMM:
https://qemu-devel.nongnu.narkive.com/o815DqpI/rfc-v5-0-8-arm-smmuv3-emulation-support
By assigning
“virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,disable-legacy=on,iommu_platform=on,ats=on”,
to a guest VM (on top of QEMU guest) with VIFO and IOMMUFD.
2) Work in progress prototype I am hacking on for nesting on KVM
(this is nowhere near complete, and misses many stuff but it
doesn't require VMs/VFIO) also with virtio-net-pci and git
cloning a bunch of stuff and also observing traces.

Overall I tested the following configurations
(S1 = 4k, S2 =4k):
- S1 level = 1 and S2 level = 1
- S1 level = 1 and S2 level = 2
- S1 level = 1 and S2 level = 3
- S1 level = 2 and S2 level = 1
- S1 level = 2 and S2 level = 2
- S1 level = 2 and S2 level = 3
- S1 level = 3 and S2 level = 2
- S1 level = 3 and S2 level = 3
Also did some testing with
(S1 = 16k, S2= 4k)
(S1 = 4K, S2= 16k)
