Currently QEMU will continue to emulate the AIA MSI devices and enable the
AIA extension for guest OS when the host kernel doesn't support the
in-kernel AIA irqchip. This will cause an illegal instruction exception
when the guest OS uses the IMSIC devices. Add additional checks to ensure
the guest OS only uses the AIA MSI device when the host kernel supports
the in-kernel AIA chip.

As you said in the commit msg it looks like we have a bug in this particular path: kvm accel,
aia=aplic-imsic, no irqchip present. Erroring out is one possible solution but I wonder why we
couldn't just emulate the APLIC and IMSIC controllers in this case. We have code that does
that in TCG, so it would be a matter of adding the needed plumbing to treat KVM AIA without
irqchip == TCG AIA.

Drew, care to weight in? Thanks,


Daniel

If I understand the motivation for this patch correctly, then we'll always
need something like it anyway. With the proposal of supporting KVM with
usermode-imsic, then KVM would ultimately have three possible states:
inkernel-irqchip, usermode-imsic, nothing. usermode-imsic will need KVM
support for forwarding imsic accesses to QEMU, but when that support isn't
present (and the inkernel-irqchip isn't selected either), then we should
still want to error out before allowing the guest to try accesses that
can't work.

Hi Daniel and Andrew,

When handling an external interrupt via IMSIC, we need to use the stopei CSR
to claim the top interrupt. Even though the QEMU can emulate the IMSIC devices
without the in-kernel irqchip, we still need to trap and emulate the stopei
CSR. But since the host machine doesn't support the AIA extension, the guest OS
will hit the illegal instruction exception instead of the virutal instruction
exception when it accesses the stopei CSR. We can't have a chance to redirect
this instruction to QEMU. So I think we can directly report errors when the
user wants to use KVM AIA(MSI) without in-kernel AIA irqchip support.

Regards,
Yong-Xuan

Thanks for the additional info, Yong-Xuan. I think putting something like
this in the commit message, or even a comment, would be helpful.

Can you please add this info in the commit message? This makes it clearer
that there's not much we can do in QEMU aside from erroring out.

Also, please add a:

Fixes: 48c2c33c52 ("target/riscv: select KVM AIA in riscv virt machine")


Thanks,

Hi Daniel and Andrew,

Sorry I found that I forgot a situation. Host kernel doesn't support
in-kernel AIA is not equal to host machine doesn't support AIA extension.

If user specifies aia=aplic-imsic when using KVM acceleration, we have 3
possibilities:
1. host doesn't support AIA extension -> report error since we can't handle
   the stopei CSR.
2. host support AIA extension but doesn't have in-kernel AIA -> use usermode
   IMSIC and handle the stopei CSR in QEMU
3. host support AIA extension and have in-kernel AIA -> use in-kernel AIA
   and handle the stopei CSR in KVM

We need to update the kvm_riscv_handle_csr() for situation 2. And it's better
to determine the availability of AIA extension in riscv_imsic_realize().

Please ignore this patch, I will send another patchset to handle the
above situations.

Regards,
Yong-Xuan

And also sireg for the imsic range.

Yes, these are the three cases I was expecting, where there's also a 1.5
which is "host supports AIA extension but KVM doesn't support
usermode-imsic". Case 1.5 should also result in reporting an error. I'm
not sure we have 1.5, though, since it looks like the KVM AIA support
already attempts to fallback to a potential usermode-imsic. So maybe
it'll work without any KVM changes.

We could also take this fix now and then do the usermode-imsic on top
later.
