Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] KVM: selftests: Add KVM selftests header files for LoongArch

Add KVM selftests header files for LoongArch, including processor.h
and kvm_util_base.h. Those mainly contain LoongArch CSR register defines
and page table information. And change DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM base addr
for LoongArch.

Hi, Sean:

I want to change the definition of  DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM in the common
file "memstress.h", like this:

/* Default guest test virtual memory offset */
+#ifndef DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM
#define DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM 0xc0000000
+#endif

As this address should be re-defined in LoongArch headers.
So, do you have any suggesstion?

Thanks

Why? E.g. is 0xc0000000 unconditionally reserved, not guaranteed to be valid,
something else?

> So, do you have any suggesstion?

Hmm, I think ideally kvm_util_base.h would define a range of memory that can be
used by tests for arbitrary data. Multiple tests use 0xc0000000, which is not
entirely arbitrary, i.e. it doesn't _need_ to be 0xc0000000, but 0xc0000000 is
convenient because it's 32-bit addressable and doesn't overlap reserved areas in
other architectures.

Thanks for your explanation, and LoongArch want to define
DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM to 0x130000000. As default base address for
application loading is 0x120000000, DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM should be
larger than app loading address, so that PER_VCPU_MEM_SIZE can be large
enough, and kvm selftests app size is smaller than 256M in generic.

Thanks

In general text entry address of user application on x86/arm64 Linux
is 0x200000, however on LoongArch system text entry address is strange,
its value 0x120000000.

When DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM is defined as 0xc0000000, there is
limitation for guest memory size, it cannot exceed 0x120000000 -
0xc000000 = 1.5G bytes, else there will be conflict. However
there is no such issue on x86/arm64, since 0xc0000000 is above text
entry address 0x200000.

The LoongArch link scripts actually is strange, it brings out some
compatible issues such dpdk/kvm selftest when user applications
want fixed virtual address space.

So here DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM is defined as 0x130000000 separately,
maybe 0x140000000 is better since it is 1G super-page aligned for 4K
page size.

Ugh, I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out how any of this works on x86
before I realized DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM is used for the guest _virtual_ address
space.

I was thinking we were talking about guest _physical_ address, hence my comments
about it being 32-bit addressable and not overlappin reserved areas. E.g. on x86,
anything remotely resembling a real system has regular memory, a.k.a. DRAM, split
between low memory (below the 32-bit boundary, i.e. below 4GiB) and high memory
(from 4GiB to the max legal physical address). Addresses above "top of lower
usable DRAM" (TOLUD) are reserved (again, in a "real" system) for things like
PCI, local APIC, I/O APIC, and the _architecturally_ defined RESET vector.

I couldn't figure out how x86 worked, because KVM creates an KVM-internal memslot
at address 0xfee00000. And then I realized the test creates memslots at completely
different GPAs, and DEFAULT_GUEST_TEST_MEM is used only as super arbitrary
guest virtual address.

*sigh*

Anyways...

Can you elaborate on compatiblity issues? I don't see the connection between
DPDK and KVM selftests.

I would strongly prefer we carve out a virtual address range that *all* tests
can safely use for test-specific code and data. E.g. if/when we add userspace
support to selftests, I like the idea of having dedicated address spaces for
kernel vs. user[*].

Maybe we can march in that generally direction and define test's virtual address
range to be in kernel space, i.e. the high half. I assume/hope that would play
nice with all architectures' entry points?

The framework and idea of kvm selftest is very good and intrinsic, and
it is very easy to write unit test case for kvm -:)

No, there is no the connection between DPDK and KVM selftests. I mean
that some applications which use fixed VA address have the same issue,
however this kind of usage is OK on X86/ARM. DPDK also uses fixed IOVA
address(0xC0000000) when it is combined with IOMMU, there is the similar
conflict issue on LoongArch machines.

yeap, it will solve the issue, virtual address range in kernel space can
be used. Also both unprivileged and privileged instruction can be
tested with ZengGuang's patch.

And is this patchset eligible to merge if common file
selftests/kvm/include/memstress.h is kept unchanged? Since it is pending
for a period of time, also LoongArch kvm selftest can pass with guest
memory size below 1.5G . We can add kernel/user mode support if
ZengGuang's patch is merged.
