There is a vhost-user backend that runs the graphics stack +in a separate process for improved isolation. + +**Interfaces:** QEMU further categorizes virtio-gpu device variants based +on the interface exposed to the guest. The interfaces can be classified +into VGA and non-VGA variants. The VGA ones are prefixed with virtio-vga +or vhost-user-vga while the non-VGA ones are prefixed with virtio-gpu or +vhost-user-gpu. + +The VGA ones always use the PCI interface, but for the non-VGA ones, the +user can further pick between MMIO or PCI. For MMIO, the user can suffix +the device name with -device, though vhost-user-gpu does not support MMIO. +For PCI, the user can suffix it with -pci. Without these suffixes, the +platform default will be chosen. + +This document uses the PCI interface in examples. + +virtio-gpu 2d +------------- + +The default 2D backend only performs 2D operations. The guest needs to +employ a software renderer for 3D graphics. + +Typically, the software renderer is provided by `Mesa`_ or `SwiftShader`_. +Mesa's implementations (LLVMpipe, Lavapipe and virgl below) work out of box +on typical modern Linux distributions. + +.. parsed-literal:: + -device virtio-gpu-pci + +.. _Mesa: https://www.mesa3d.org/ +.. _SwiftShader: https://github.com/google/swiftshader + +virtio-gpu virglrenderer +------------------------ + +When using virgl accelerated graphics mode in the guest, OpenGL API calls +are translated into an intermediate representation (see `Gallium3D`_). The +intermediate representation is communicated to the host and the +`virglrenderer`_ library on the host translates the intermediate +representation back to OpenGL API calls. + +.. parsed-literal:: + -device virtio-gpu-gl-pci + +.. _Gallium3D: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gallium/ +.. _virglrenderer: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/virgl/virglrenderer/ + +virtio-gpu rutabaga +------------------- + +virtio-gpu can also leverage `rutabaga_gfx`_ to provide `gfxstream`_ +rendering and `Wayland display passthrough`_. With the gfxstream rendering +mode, GLES and Vulkan calls are forwarded to the host with minimal +modification. + +The crosvm book provides directions on how to build a `gfxstream-enabled +rutabaga`_ and launch a `guest Wayland proxy`_. + +This device does require host blob support (``hostmem`` field below). The +``hostmem`` field specifies the size of virtio-gpu host memory window. +This is typically between 256M and 8G. + +Atleast one capset (see colon separated ``capset_names`` below) must be +specified when starting the device. The currently supported +``capset_names`` are ``gfxstream-vulkan`` and ``cross-domain`` on Linux +guests. For Android guests, ``gfxstream-gles`` is also supported. + +The device will try to auto-detect the wayland socket path if the +``cross-domain`` capset name is set. The user may optionally specify +``wayland_socket_path`` for non-standard paths. + +The ``wsi`` option can be set to ``surfaceless`` or ``headless``. +Surfaceless doesn't create a native window surface, but does copy from the +render target to the Pixman buffer if a virtio-gpu 2D hypercall is issued. +Headless is like surfaceless, but doesn't copy to the Pixman buffer. +Surfaceless is the default if ``wsi`` is not specified. + +.. parsed-literal:: + -device virtio-gpu-rutabaga-pci,capset_names=gfxstream-vulkan:cross-domain, + hostmem=8G,wayland_socket_path="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY", + wsi=headless + +.. _rutabaga_gfx: https://github.com/google/crosvm/blob/main/rutabaga_gfx/ffi/src/include/rutabaga_gfx_ffi.h +.. _gfxstream: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/google/gfxstream/ +.. _Wayland display passthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJiHMtIQ2M +.. _gfxstream-enabled rutabaga: https://crosvm.dev/book/appendix/rutabaga_gfx.html +.. _guest Wayland proxy: https://crosvm.dev/book/devices/wayland.html
