commit 67113c03423a23e60915574275aed7d60e9f85e1
Author: Michael Davidsaver

e500: fix pci host bridge class/type

Correct some confusion wrt. the PCI facing
side of the PCI host bridge (not PCIe root complex).
The ref. manual for the mpc8533 (as well as
mpc8540 and mpc8540) give the class code as
PCI_CLASS_PROCESSOR_POWERPC.
While the PCI_HEADER_TYPE field is oddly omitted,
the tables in the "PCI Configuration Header"
section shows a type 0 layout using all 6 BAR
registers (as 2x 32, and 2x 64 bit regions)

So 997505065dc92e533debf5cb23012ba4e673d387
seems to be in error.  Although there was
perhaps some confusion as the mpc8533
has a separate PCIe root complex.
With PCIe, a root complex has PCI_HEADER_TYPE=1.

Neither the PCI host bridge, nor the PCIe
root complex advertise class PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_PCI.

This was confusing Linux guests, which try
to interpret the host bridge as a pci-pci
bridge, but get confused and re-enumerate
the bus when the primary/secondary/subordinate
bus registers don't have valid values.

With some precautionary measures I think I can provide it. Not sure what
of our drivers may already be compiled in etc so I need to send it to
you privately so only you have access for testing etc after which you
would delete it once issue fixed or discovered etc. Is it possible to
send you private message on here with such a link or better email?
thanks

Hope you enjoyed the Holidays, Happy 2020! I would really appreciate if you 
could confirm for me if virtio works fine for you with ppc -M mpc8544ds with 
older Linux guest kernels like 2.6.32

fyi from what I recall guest kernel was built using mpc85xx_defconfig
with some additions like virtio etc. If virtio is working for you just
fine using same command as mine, then perhaps its some peculiarity to do
with my specific guest kernel or kernel version? (uImage is about 3.4M
with equivalent vmlinux about 72M)

2019-12-20 Thread ecsdn
Thanks I tried with:

/root/QEMU/qemu-git-4.2.0rc4/qemu/build/ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -M
mpc8544ds -nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append
"root=/dev/vda rw" -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,disable-
modern=true -drive
file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw

And again it worked with qemu 2.8.1 but failed with the above 4.2.0rc4
on the same x86_64 host.

On another x86_64 host I confirmed that the below works with qemu 2.8.0

root@myserver:~# qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds -nographic -kernel
/home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append "root=/dev/vda rw" -device virtio-
blk-pci,drive=drive0,disable-modern=true -drive
file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw

But again even on this system 4.2.0 failes with that same command:
root@myserver:~# /root/QEMU/qemu-4.2.0/build/ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -M 
mpc8544ds -nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append "root=/dev/vda 
rw" -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,disable-modern=true -drive 
file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw

Fails/freezes at the same vda: location.

Running it from its installed location didn't help, the following still
failed at vda: also.

root@myserver:/opt/qemu4.2.0/bin# ./qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds
-nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append "root=/dev/vda
rw" -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,disable-modern=true -drive
file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw

Although I didn't think its required for the softmmu qemu "emulation"
only, ie not "kvm", I even enabled kvm as well as DMAR+IOMMU on the
kernel and recompiled 4.2.0 but had same vda: failure.

Perhaps you can try to disable the "modern" mode of virtio (The
endianness of the API has been changed):

replace

  -drive file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=virtio

by

  -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,disable-modern=true \
  -drive file=mmcblk0p2.dd,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw

[Bug 1856834] Re: Virtio broken in qemu ppc in 4.2.0 and other versions

2019-12-19 Thread ecsdn
Did you try with just a basic virtio disk and it works for you?

Because even a basic virtio drive addition fails for me, even this fails
on higher than 2.8.1

For example:
qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds -nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 
-append "root=/dev/vda rw" -drive file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=virtio

The only thing I can think of, is if somehow vda fails due to me running
the higher version qemu binaries from their build locations/paths
without actually "installing" them in usual paths etc.

But I ran the 2.8 version from build location I compiled it from and it
worked from there, but perhaps the 2.8 version was also the distro
installed default one so maybe it found dependencies it needed?

Anyway I just now reconfigured 4.2.0 with --prefix /opt/qemu4.2.0 and
ran it from installed dir:

root@myserver:/opt/qemu4.2.0/bin# ./qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds
-nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append "root=/dev/vda
rw" -drive file=/home/me/mmcblk0p2.dd,if=virtio

But it still fails even after make install and running it from the 
/opt/qemu4.2.0/bin directory.
Is it somehow conflicting with the other qemu version 2.8.. installed by usual 
apt-get install?

Regardless of how I start them, version 3.1.0 and 4.2.0rc4 and some other 
4.19git and 4.2.0final all fail/freeze at:
"

nbd: registered device at major 43
 vda:

Also tested on another system (Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l with kernel SMP
Debian 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 (2018-05-08) x86_64) besides the previous Ubuntu
17.04 and confirmed even Qemu 2.8.1 is working but Qemu 3.1.10 and
higher not working, virtio fails/freezes guest at vda as on the other
