Detailed Description

KVM VM container.

A KVM VM container normally contains all the CPUs in a shared memory machine. The VM container handles things like physical memory and to some extent interrupts. Normally, the VM API is only used for interrupts when the PIC is emulated by the kernel, which is a feature we do not use. However, some architectures (notably ARM) use the VM interface to deliver interrupts to specific CPUs as well.

VM initialization is a bit different from that of other SimObjects. When we initialize the VM, we discover all physical memory mappings in the system. Since AbstractMem::unserialize re-maps the guests memory, we need to make sure that this is done after the memory has been re-mapped, but before the vCPUs are initialized (KVM requires memory mappings to be setup before CPUs can be created). Normally, we would just initialize the VM in init() or startup(), however, we can not use init() since this is called before AbstractMem::unserialize() and we can not use startup() since it must be called before BaseKvmCPU::startup() and the simulator framework does not guarantee call order. We therefore call cpuStartup() from BaseKvmCPU::startup() instead and execute the initialization code once when the first CPU in the VM is starting.

Member Function Documentation

const KvmVM::MemSlot KvmVM::allocMemSlot ( uint64_t  size)

Allocate a memory slot within the VM.

Definition at line 379 of file vm.cc.

References KvmVM::MemorySlot::active, maxMemorySlot, memorySlots, panic, X86ISA::size(), KvmVM::MemorySlot::size, and KvmVM::MemorySlot::slot.

Referenced by delayedStartup().

long KvmVM::allocVCPUID ( )
protected

Allocate a new vCPU ID within the VM.

The returned vCPU ID is guaranteed to be unique within the VM. New IDs are allocated sequentially starting from 0.

Returns
ID of the new vCPU

Definition at line 560 of file vm.cc.

References nextVCPUID.

void KvmVM::coalesceMMIO ( Addr  start,
int  size 
)

Request coalescing MMIO for a memory range.

Parameters
startPhysical start address in guest
sizeSize of the MMIO region

Definition at line 464 of file vm.cc.

References DPRINTF, ioctl(), panic, and X86ISA::size().

Referenced by coalesceMMIO(), and KvmVM().

void KvmVM::coalesceMMIO ( const AddrRange range)

Request coalescing MMIO for a memory range.

Parameters
rangeCoalesced MMIO range

Definition at line 458 of file vm.cc.

References coalesceMMIO(), AddrRange::size(), and AddrRange::start().

long KvmVM::contextIdToVCpuId ( ContextID  ctx) const
void KvmVM::cpuStartup ( )
protected

VM CPU initialization code.

This method is called from BaseKvmCPU::startup() when a CPU in the VM executes its BaseKvmCPU::startup() method. The first time method is executed on a VM, it calls the delayedStartup() method.

Definition at line 334 of file vm.cc.

References delayedStartup(), and started.

Referenced by BaseKvmCPU::startup().

int KvmVM::createDevice ( uint32_t  type,
uint32_t  flags = 0 
)

Create an in-kernel device model.

Parameters
typeDevice type (KVM_DEV_TYPE_xxx)
flagsCreation flags (KVM_CREATE_DEVICE_xxx)
Returns
Device file descriptor

Definition at line 515 of file vm.cc.

References ioctl(), panic, and X86ISA::type.

int KvmVM::createVCPU ( long  vcpuID)
protected

Create a new vCPU within a VM.

Parameters
vcpuIDID of the new CPU within the VM.
Returns
File descriptor referencing the CPU.

Definition at line 548 of file vm.cc.

References ArmISA::fd, ioctl(), and panic.

Referenced by BaseKvmCPU::startup().

void KvmVM::delayedStartup ( )
protected

Delayed initialization, executed once before the first CPU starts.

This method provides a way to do VM initialization once before the first CPU in a VM starts. It is needed since some resources (e.g., memory mappings) can change in the normal SimObject::startup() path. Since the call order of SimObject::startup() is not guaranteed, we simply defer some initialization until a CPU is about to start.

void KvmVM::disableMemSlot ( const MemSlot  slot)

Disable a memory slot.

Referenced by freeMemSlot().

void KvmVM::freeMemSlot ( const MemSlot  slot)

Free a previously allocated memory slot.

Definition at line 425 of file vm.cc.

References disableMemSlot(), memorySlots, KvmVM::MemSlot::num, and KvmVM::MemorySlot::size.

void KvmVM::notifyFork ( )
virtual

Notify a child process of a fork.

When calling fork in gem5, we need to ensure that resources shared between the parent and the child are consistent. This method is intended to be overloaded to handle that. For example, an object could use this method to re-open input files to get a separate file description with a private file offset.

This method is only called in the child of the fork. The call takes place in a drained system.

Reimplemented from Drainable.

void KvmVM::setTSSAddress ( Addr  tss_address)

Setup a shared three-page memory region used by the internals of KVM.

This is currently only needed by x86 implementations.

Parameters
