For x86, we use ioport to communicate with hypervisor. We can read a 32bit value from the hypervisor. If the bit0 is setted, it means the hypervisor supports panicked event. If you want add another event, you can use another unused bit. I think 32 events are enough now. You can write a value to the ioport to eject the event.

Right, it can work in several ways, but the protocol (whatever it may be) between the hypervisor and the guest kernel should be documented here as well. >>> diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h >>> index 2f7712e..7d297f0 100644 >>> --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h >>> +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h >>> @@ -96,8 +96,11 @@ struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data { >>> #define KVM_PV_EOI_ENABLED KVM_PV_EOI_MASK >>> #define KVM_PV_EOI_DISABLED 0x0 >>> >>> +#define KVM_PV_EVENT_PORT (0x505UL) >>> + >>> #ifdef __KERNEL__ >>> #include <asm/processor.h> >>> +#include <linux/ioport.h> >>> >>> extern void kvmclock_init(void); >>> extern int kvm_register_clock(char *txt); >>> @@ -228,6 +231,30 @@ static inline void kvm_disable_steal_time(void) >>> } >>> #endif >>> >>> +static inline int kvm_arch_pv_event_init(void) >>> +{ >>> + if (!request_region(KVM_PV_EVENT_PORT, 1, "KVM_PV_EVENT")) >> >> Only one byte is requested here, but the rest of the code is reading/writing longs? >> >> The struct resource * returned from request_region is simply being leaked here? >> >> What happens if we go ahead with adding another event (let's say OOM event)? >> request_region() is going to fail for anything but the first call. > > For x86, we use ioport to communicate with hypervisor.

I was trying to point out that kvm_pv_event_init() would fail on anything but the first call, while the API suggests it should be called to verify we can write events. >>> +static inline unsigned int kvm_arch_pv_features(void) >>> +{ >>> + unsigned int features = inl(KVM_PV_EVENT_PORT); >>> + >>> + /* Reading from an invalid I/O port will return -1 */ >> >> Just wondering, where is that documented?

Can you give me a example. So I can test this patch on lkvm. You can grab lkvm from https://github.com/penberg/linux-kvm , it lives under tools/kvm/ in the kernel tree. > For qemu, it returns -1. I don't know which is right now. I will investigate it. Thing is, unless x86 arch suggests it should return something specific in this case, we can't assume a return value either from lkvm or qemu.

Say, how many panics can occur between first Linux instruction and initialization of netconsole? Because this interface (all the way to QEMU) is going to be reimplemented with different code later, in case other architectures want similar interface, which makes maintenance more difficult. Using PCI would basically replacing I/O port write with PCI write (or virtio write).

We can know the guest is panicked when the guest runs on xen. But we do not have such feature on kvm. Another purpose of this feature is: management app(for example: libvirt) can do auto dump when the guest is panicked. If management app does not do auto dump, the guest's user can do dump by hand if he sees the guest is panicked. We have three solutions to implement this feature: 1. use vmcall 2. use I/O port 3. use virtio-serial. We have decided to avoid touching hypervisor. The reason why I choose choose the I/O port is: 1. it is easier to implememt 2. it does not depend any virtual device 3. it can work when starting the kernel Signed-off-by: Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com> --- Documentation/virtual/kvm/pv_event.txt | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/ia64/include/asm/kvm_para.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_para.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/s390/include/asm/kvm_para.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/kvm_para.h | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/virtual/kvm/pv_event.txt
