Detailed Description

Base class for KVM based CPU models.

All architecture specific KVM implementation should inherit from this class. The most basic CPU models only need to override the updateKvmState() and updateThreadContext() methods to implement state synchronization between gem5 and KVM.

The architecture specific implementation is also responsible for delivering interrupts into the VM. This is typically done by overriding tick() and checking the thread context before entering into the VM. In order to deliver an interrupt, the implementation then calls KvmVM::setIRQLine() or BaseKvmCPU::kvmInterrupt() depending on the specifics of the underlying hardware/drivers.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Status

enum gem5::BaseKvmCPU::Status
protected
dot_inline_dotgraph_1.png
Enumerator
Idle 

Context not scheduled in KVM.

   The CPU generally enters this state when the guest execute
   an instruction that halts the CPU (e.g., WFI on ARM or HLT
   on X86) if KVM traps this instruction. Ticks are not
   scheduled in this state.

   @see suspendContext()
Running 

Running normally.

   This is the normal run state of the CPU. KVM will be
   entered next time tick() is called.
RunningService 

Requiring service at the beginning of the next cycle.

   The virtual machine has exited and requires service, tick()
   will call handleKvmExit() on the next cycle. The next state
   after running service is determined in handleKvmExit() and
   depends on what kind of service the guest requested:
   <ul>
     <li>IO/MMIO (Atomic): RunningServiceCompletion
     <li>IO/MMIO (Timing): RunningMMIOPending
     <li>Halt: Idle
     <li>Others: Running
   </ul>
RunningMMIOPending 

Timing MMIO request in flight or stalled.

    The VM has requested IO/MMIO and we are in timing mode.  A timing
    request is either stalled (and will be retried with recvReqRetry())
    or it is in flight.  After the timing request is complete, the CPU
    will transition to the RunningServiceCompletion state.
RunningServiceCompletion 

Service completion in progress.

   The VM has requested service that requires KVM to be
   entered once in order to get to a consistent state. This
   happens in handleKvmExit() or one of its friends after IO
   exits. After executing tick(), the CPU will transition into
   the Running or RunningService state.

◆ activateContext()

void gem5::BaseKvmCPU::activateContext ( ThreadID  thread_num)
override

◆ archIsDrained()

virtual bool gem5::BaseKvmCPU::archIsDrained ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

Is the architecture specific code in a state that prevents draining?

This method should return false if there are any pending events in the guest vCPU that won't be carried over to the gem5 state and thus will prevent correct checkpointing or CPU handover. It might, for example, check for pending interrupts that have been passed to the vCPU but not acknowledged by the OS. Architecures implementing this method must override kvmRunDrain().

See also
BaseKvmCPU::kvmRunDrain()
Returns
true if the vCPU is drained, false otherwise.

◆ kvmRun()

Tick gem5::BaseKvmCPU::kvmRun ( Tick  ticks)
protectedvirtual

Request KVM to run the guest for a given number of ticks.

The method returns the approximate number of ticks executed.

Note
The returned number of ticks can be both larger or smaller than the requested number of ticks. A smaller number can, for example, occur when the guest executes MMIO. A larger number is typically due to performance counter inaccuracies.
This method is virtual in order to allow implementations to check for architecture specific events (e.g., interrupts) before entering the VM.
It is the response of the caller (normally tick()) to make sure that the KVM state is synchronized and that the TC is invalidated after entering KVM.
This method does not normally cause any state transitions. However, if it may suspend the CPU by suspending the thread, which leads to a transition to the Idle state. In such a case, kvm must not be entered.
Parameters
ticksNumber of ticks to execute, set to 0 to exit immediately after finishing pending operations.
Returns
Number of ticks executed (see note)

◆ setSignalMask()

void gem5::BaseKvmCPU::setSignalMask ( const sigset_t *  mask)

Set the signal mask used in kvmRun()

This method allows the signal mask of the thread executing kvmRun() to be overridden inside the actual system call. This allows us to mask timer signals used to force KVM exits while in gem5.

The signal mask can be disabled by setting it to NULL.

maskSignals to mask

Update the KVM state from the current thread context.

The base CPU calls this method before starting the guest CPU when the contextDirty flag is set. The architecture dependent CPU implementation is expected to update all guest state (registers, special registers, and FPU state).

◆ thread

SimpleThread* gem5::BaseKvmCPU::thread

A cached copy of a thread's state in the form of a SimpleThread object.

Normally the actual thread state is stored in the KVM vCPU. If KVM has been running this copy is will be out of date. If we recently handled some events within gem5 that required state to be updated this could be the most up-to-date copy. When getContext() or updateThreadContext() is called this copy gets updated. The method syncThreadContext can be used within a KVM CPU to update the thread context if the KVM state is dirty (i.e., the vCPU has been run since the last update).
