[Qemu-riscv] [PATCH v1 00/27] Add RISC-V Hypervisor Extension


From: Alistair Francis
Subject: [Qemu-riscv] [PATCH v1 00/27] Add RISC-V Hypervisor Extension
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2019 14:55:18 -0700

This patch series adds the RISC-V Hypervisor extension 0.3. This is the
latest draft spec of the Hypervisor extension.

The Hypervisor extension is disabled by default, so this series should
result in no changes to anyone using QEMU unless they enable the
extension. The extention can be enabled with the -cpu property (see
below).

At the moment the spec does not include information about the mstatush
register. As it is not in the spec I haven't added it to QEMU. This
means the extension won't work correctly for 32-bit guests. This should
be a small fix to add the CSR once the spec is updated.

All testing of this implementation has been done by using the baremetal
Xvisor Hypervisor. We are able to run two Linux guests (that's all I
have tried) as guests.

At the moment this spec is in a draft state and is subject to change. As
QEMU is extreamly useful in early bring up I think it makes sense for
QEMU to support non-frozen extensions. I would like to decide with this
series how QEMU will handle all future non-frozen extensions. That is a
standard way that QEMU users can test future RISC-V extensions while
still understanding things will change. One idea is just to disable it by
default, another option is to maybe use the Kconfig to make it a compile
time option which developers can use. Should we also display a warning
when running non-frozen extensions?

Thanks to Anup for doing the initial port of Xvisor. The port is avaliable here:
https://github.com/avpatel/xvisor-next and will run on QEMU.

Also thanks to Atish for implementing the SBI call support in Xvisor and
for lots of help debugging.

To run this yourself:
 1. Apply this patch series to QEMU. The latest branch can be found here:
      
https://github.com/alistair23/qemu/tree/mainline/alistair/riscv-hyp-work.next
 2. Get the version of OpenSBI that supports the H extension. This can
    be found here:
      https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/tree/hyp_ext_changes_v1
 3. Build the next release of Xvisor. It is available here:
      https://github.com/avpatel/xvisor-next
 4. Make sure you build the Xvisor tests, see here for details:
      
https://github.com/avpatel/xvisor-next/tree/master/tests/riscv/virt64/linux
 5. Run QEMU:
     ./riscv64-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic \
       -machine virt -cpu rv64,h=true\
       -serial mon:stdio -serial null -m 4G \
       -device loader,file=vmm.bin,addr=0x80200000 \
       -kernel fw_jump.elf \
       -initrd vmm-disk-linux.img \
       -append "vmm.console=uart@10000000 vmm.bootcmd=\"vfs mount initrd /;vfs 
run /boot.xscript;vfs cat /system/banner.txt\""

   Once you get to the prompt you can start the geust by running:
     guest kick guest0
   You can then bind to the serial port using:
     vserial bind guest0/uart0
   Then you can start Linux using:
     autoexec

 This was all tested with the mainline 5.1 kernel. I don't know if it
 will work on older kernels.

So far all of the QEMU work has been tested on Xvisor.

Known Issues/TODO:
 - Add mstatush to support 32-bit Hypervisors
 - Fix the random hang that sometimes appears when running a Hypervisor guest 
(~5%)

There is also on going work from Anup to port KVM.
We have code complete implementation of RISC-V KVM kernel module and
RISC-V KVMTOOL. Currently, we are debugging KVM on QEMU and we will
send-out RFC PATCHES for KVM in June/July 2019.
The KVM RISC-V kernel module is available in riscv_kvm_v1
branch at: https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git
The KVMTOOL RISC-V port is available in riscv_v1 branch of
https://github.com/avpatel/kvmtool.git

There is very early work on a Xen port as well which is avaliable here:
https://github.com/alistair23/xen/tree/alistair/riscv-port
