Chenli Wei 7dec39a9e8 doc: change the parameter of virtio-net 
Remove device name requirement for “tap” and "vmnet", change the
parameter format like:
"-s 4,virtio-net,tap/vmnet=dev_name".
change mac_seed to virtio-net sub-parameter
As a parameter of acrn-dm,the mac_seed is only used for virtio-net.
So this patch change it to the sub-parameter of virtio-net.
The final format is:
-s 4,virtio-net,tap/vmnet=dev_name,mac_seed=XXXX

Device Model High-Level Design
##############################
The Device Model (DM) ``acrn-dm`` is a QEMU-like application in the Service VM
responsible for creating a User VM and then performing device emulation
based on command-line configurations.
.. figure:: images/dm-image75.png
:align: center
:name: dm-framework
Device Model Framework
:numref:`dm-framework` above gives a big picture overview of the DM
framework. There are 3 major subsystems in the Service VM:
- **Device Emulation**: DM provides backend device emulation routines for
frontend User VM device drivers. These routines register their I/O
handlers to the I/O dispatcher inside the DM. When the HSM
assigns any I/O request to the DM, the I/O dispatcher
dispatches this request to the corresponding device emulation
routine to do the emulation.
- I/O Path in Service VM:
- Hypervisor initializes an I/O request and notifies the HSM driver in the
Service VM through upcall.
- HSM driver dispatches I/O requests to I/O clients and notifies the
clients (in this case the client is the DM, which is notified
through char device).
- DM I/O dispatcher calls corresponding I/O handlers.
- I/O dispatcher notifies the HSM driver that the I/O request is completed
through char device.
- HSM driver notifies the hypervisor on the completion through hypercall.
- DM injects VIRQ to the User VM frontend device through hypercall.
- HSM: Hypervisor Service Module is a kernel module in the Service VM and is a
middle layer to support the DM. Refer to :ref:`virtio-APIs` for details.
This section introduces how the ``acrn-dm`` application is configured and
walks through the DM overall flow. We'll then elaborate on device,
ISA, and PCI emulation.
Configuration

The ``acrn-dm`` runs using these command-line configuration
options:

DM Initialization
*****************
:numref:`dm-boot-flow` shows the overall flow for the DM boot:
.. figure:: images/dm-image80.png
:align: center
:name: dm-boot-flow
Device Model Boot Flow
- **DM Start**: DM application starts to run.
- **Option Parsing**: DM parses options from command-line inputs.
- **VM Create**: DM calls ioctl to the Service VM HSM, then the Service VM HSM
makes hypercalls to the hypervisor to create a VM. It returns a vmid for a
dedicated VM.
- **Set I/O Request Buffer**: The I/O request buffer is a page buffer
allocated by the DM for a specific VM in user space. This buffer is
shared among the DM, HSM, and hypervisor. **Set I/O Request Buffer** calls
an ioctl executing a hypercall to share this unique page buffer
with the HSM and hypervisor. Refer to :ref:`hld-io-emulation` and
:ref:`IO-emulation-in-service-vm` for more details.
- **Memory Setup**: User VM memory is allocated from Service VM
memory. This section of memory will use Service VM hugetlbfs to allocate
linear continuous host physical address for guest memory. It will
try to get the page size as big as possible to guarantee maximum
utilization of TLB. It then invokes a hypercall to the hypervisor for its EPT
mapping, and maps the memory segments into user space.
- **PIO/MMIO Handler Init**: PIO/MMIO handlers provide callbacks for
trapped PIO/MMIO requests that are triggered from the I/O request
server in the hypervisor for DM-owned device emulation. This is the endpoint
of the I/O path in the DM. After this initialization, the device emulation
driver in the DM can register its MMIO handler by the ``register_mem()``
API and its PIO handler by the ``register_inout()`` API or ``INOUT_PORT()``
macro.
- **PCI Init**: PCI initialization scans the PCI bus/slot/function to
identify each configured PCI device on the ``acrn-dm`` command line
and initializes their configuration space by calling their
dedicated ``vdev_init()`` function. For more details on the DM PCI
emulation, refer to `PCI Emulation`_.
- **ACPI Build**: The DM will build an ACPI table into its VM's
F-Segment (0xf2400). This ACPI table includes full tables for RSDP, RSDT,
XSDT, MADT, FADT, HPET, MCFG, FACS, and DSDT. All these items are programed
according to the ``acrn-dm`` command-line configuration and derived from
their default value.
- **SW Load**: DM prepares the User VM's software configuration such as kernel,
ramdisk, and zeropage, according to these memory locations:
.. code-block:: c
#define RAMDISK_LOAD_OFF(ctx) (ctx->lowmem - 4*MB)
#define BOOTARGS_LOAD_OFF(ctx) (ctx->lowmem - 8*KB)
#define KERNEL_ENTRY_OFF(ctx) (ctx->lowmem - 6*KB)
#define ZEROPAGE_LOAD_OFF(ctx) (ctx->lowmem - 4*KB)
#define KERNEL_LOAD_OFF(ctx) (16*MB)
For example, if the User VM memory is set as 800M size, then **SW Load**
will prepare its ramdisk (if there is) at 0x31c00000 (796M), bootargs at
0x31ffe000 (800M - 8K), kernel entry at 0x31ffe800 (800M - 6K), and zero
page at 0x31fff000 (800M - 4K). The hypervisor will finally run the VM based
on these configurations.
Note that the zero page above also includes e820 setting for this VM.
The DM defines its VM e820 table according to this configuration:
.. code-block:: c
/*
* Default e820 mem map:
*
* there is reserved memory hole for PCI hole and APIC etc
* so the memory layout could be separated into lowmem & highmem.
* - if request memory size <= ctx->lowmem_limit, then there is only
* map[0]:0~ctx->lowmem for RAM
* ctx->lowmem = request_memory_size
* - if request memory size > ctx->lowmem_limit, then there are
* map[0]:0~ctx->lowmem_limit & map[2]:4G~ctx->highmem for RAM
* ctx->highmem = request_memory_size - ctx->lowmem_limit
*
* Begin Limit Type Length
* 0: 0 - 0xA0000 RAM 0xA0000
* 1 0x100000 - lowmem part1 RAM 0x0
* 2: SW SRAM_bot - SW SRAM_top (reserved) SOFTWARE_SRAM_MAX_SIZE
* 3: gpu_rsvd_bot - gpu_rsvd_top (reserved) 0x4004000
* 4: lowmem part2 - 0x80000000 (reserved) 0x0
* 5: 0xE0000000 - 0x100000000 MCFG, MMIO 512MB
* 6: HIGHRAM_START_ADDR - mmio64 start RAM ctx->highmem
*/
- **VM Loop Thread**: DM kicks this VM loop thread to create an I/O
request client for the DM, runs the VM, and enters the I/O request
handling loop:
.. code-block:: c
vm_loop(struct vmctx *ctx)
{
int error;
ctx->ioreq_client = vm_create_ioreq_client(ctx);
if (ctx->ioreq_client < 0) {
pr_err("%s, failed to create IOREQ.\n", __func__);
return;
}
if (vm_run(ctx) != 0) {
pr_err("%s, failed to run VM.\n", __func__);
return;
}
while (1) {
int vcpu_id;
struct acrn_io_request *io_req;
error = vm_attach_ioreq_client(ctx);
if (error)
break;
for (vcpu_id = 0; vcpu_id < guest_ncpus; vcpu_id++) {
io_req = &ioreq_buf[vcpu_id];
if ((atomic_load(&io_req->processed) == ACRN_IOREQ_STATE_PROCESSING)
&& !io_req->kernel_handled)
handle_vmexit(ctx, io_req, vcpu_id);
}
if (VM_SUSPEND_FULL_RESET == vm_get_suspend_mode() ||
VM_SUSPEND_POWEROFF == vm_get_suspend_mode()) {
break;
}
/* RTVM can't be reset */
if ((VM_SUSPEND_SYSTEM_RESET == vm_get_suspend_mode()) && (!is_rtvm)) {
vm_system_reset(ctx);
}
if (VM_SUSPEND_SUSPEND == vm_get_suspend_mode()) {
vm_suspend_resume(ctx);
}
}
pr_err("VM loop exit\n");
}
- **Mevent Dispatch Loop**: It's the final loop of the main ``acrn-dm``
thread. mevent dispatch will do polling for potential async
event.

HSM
***
HSM Overview
============
The Device Model manages a User VM by accessing interfaces exported from the HSM
module. The HSM module is a Service VM kernel driver. The ``/dev/acrn_hsm``
node is created when the HSM module is initialized. The Device Model follows
the standard Linux char device API (ioctl) to access HSM functionality.
In most of ioctl, the HSM converts the ioctl command to a corresponding
hypercall to the hypervisor. There are two exceptions:
- I/O request client management is implemented in the HSM.
- For memory range management of a User VM, the HSM needs to save all memory
range information of the User VM. The subsequent memory mapping update of
the User VM needs this information.

Architecture of ACRN HSM
HSM ioctl Interfaces
====================
.. note:: Reference API documents for General interface, VM Management,
IRQ and Interrupts, Device Model management, Guest Memory management,
PCI assignment, and Power management.
.. _IO-emulation-in-service-vm:
I/O Emulation in Service VM
***************************
The HSM in the Service VM kernel dispatches I/O requests from the hypervisor
to a registered client, responsible for further processing the
I/O access and notifying the hypervisor on its completion.
Initialization of Shared I/O Request Buffer
===========================================
For each VM, there is a shared 4-KByte memory region used for I/O request
communication between the hypervisor and Service VM. Upon initialization
of a VM, the DM (``acrn-dm``) in the Service VM userland first allocates a
4-KByte page and passes the GPA of the buffer to the hypervisor via hypercall.
The buffer is used as an array of 16 I/O request slots with each I/O request
being 256 bytes. This array is indexed by vCPU ID. Thus, each vCPU of the VM
corresponds to one I/O request slot in the request buffer since a vCPU
cannot issue multiple I/O requests at the same time.
.. note:: By this design, a VM supports a maximum of 16 vCPUs.
I/O Clients
===========
An I/O client is either a Service VM userland application or a Service VM
kernel space module responsible for handling an I/O access whose address
falls in a certain range. Each VM has an array of registered I/O
clients that are initialized with a fixed I/O address range, plus a PCI
BDF on VM creation. In each VM, a special client, called the
fallback client, handles all I/O requests that do not fit into
the range of any other client. In the current design, the Device Model
acts as the fallback client for any VM.
Each I/O client can be configured to handle the I/O requests in the
client thread context or in a separate kernel thread context.
:numref:`hsm-interaction` shows how an I/O client talks to HSM to register
a handler and process the incoming I/O requests in a kernel thread
specifically created for this purpose.
.. figure:: images/dm-image94.png
:align: center
:name: hsm-interaction
Interaction of In-kernel I/O Clients and HSM
- On registration, the client requests a fresh ID, registers a
handler, adds the I/O range (or PCI BDF) to be emulated by this
client, and finally attaches it to the HSM. The HSM kicks off
a new kernel thread.
- The kernel thread waits for any I/O request to be handled. When the HSM
assigns a pending I/O request to the client, the kernel
thread wakes up and calls the registered callback function
to process the request.
- Before the client is destroyed, the HSM ensures that the kernel
thread exits.
An I/O client can also handle I/O requests in its own thread context.
:numref:`dm-hsm-interaction` shows the interactions in such a case, using the
Device Model as an example. No callback is registered on
registration and the I/O client (Device Model in the example) attaches
itself to the HSM every time it is ready to process additional I/O requests.
Note also that the DM runs in userland and talks to HSM via the ioctl
interface in `HSM ioctl interfaces`_.

Processing I/O Requests
=======================
.. figure:: images/dm-image96.png
:align: center
:name: io-sequence-service-vm
I/O Request Handling Sequence in Service VM
:numref:`io-sequence-service-vm` above illustrates the interactions among the
hypervisor, HSM,
and the Device Model for handling I/O requests. The main interactions
are as follows:
1. The hypervisor makes an upcall to the Service VM as an interrupt
handled by the upcall handler in HSM.
2. The upcall handler schedules the execution of the I/O request
dispatcher. If the dispatcher is already running, another round
of execution is scheduled.
3. The I/O request dispatcher looks for I/O requests with the PENDING
state, assigns them to registered clients based on the address of
the I/O access, updates their state to PROCESSING, and wakes up
all clients that have I/O requests to be processed. The flow is
illustrated in more detail in :numref:`io-dispatcher-flow`.
4. The awakened client (the DM in :numref:`io-sequence-service-vm` above)
handles the
assigned I/O requests, updates their state to COMPLETE, and notifies
the HSM of the completion via ioctl. :numref:`dm-io-flow` shows this
flow.
5. The HSM device notifies the hypervisor of the completion via
hypercall.

Device Model Control Flow on Handling I/O Requests
Emulation of Accesses to PCI Configuration Space
================================================
PCI configuration spaces are accessed by writing to an address to I/O
port 0xcf8 and then reading the I/O port 0xcfc. As the PCI configuration
space of different devices is emulated by different clients, HSM
handles the emulation of accesses to I/O port 0xcf8, caches the BDF of
the device and the offset of the register, and delivers the request to
the client with the same BDF when I/O port 0xcfc is accessed.
The following table summarizes the emulation of accesses to I/O port
0xcf8 and 0xcfc.
+-----------------+------------------------+---------------------------+
| | BDF and offset cached | BDF and offset not cached |
+=================+========================+===========================+
| Load from 0xcf8 | Return value previously stored to port 0xcf8 |
+-----------------+------------------------+---------------------------+
| Store to 0xcf8 | If MSB of value is 1, cache BDF and offset; |
| | otherwise, invalidate cache. |
+-----------------+------------------------+---------------------------+
| Load from 0xcfc | Assigned to client | Return all 1's |
+-----------------+ with same BDF, or +---------------------------+
| Store to 0xcfc | fallback if not any. | Silently ignored |
+-----------------+------------------------+---------------------------+
I/O Client Interfaces
=====================
.. note:: Replace with reference to API documentation.
The APIs for I/O client development are as follows:
For I/O client registration
- acrn_ioreq_create_client - create ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_add_iorange - add iorange monitored by ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_intercept_bdf - set intercept bdf info of ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_get_reqbuf - get request buffer
I/O client runtime helpers.
- acrn_ioreq_attach_client - start handle request for ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_complete_request - notify guest request handling is
completed
For I/O client destruction
- acrn_ioreq_destroy_client - destroy ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_del_iorange - del iorange monitored by ioreq client
- acrn_ioreq_unintercept_bdf - clear intercept bdf info of ioreq
client
Device Emulation
****************
The DM emulates different kinds of devices, such as RTC,
LPC, UART, PCI devices, and virtio block device. It is important
that device emulation can handle I/O requests
from different devices including PIO, MMIO, and PCI CFG
SPACE access. For example, a CMOS RTC device may access 0x70/0x71 PIO to
get CMOS time, a GPU PCI device may access its MMIO or PIO bar space to
complete its framebuffer rendering, or the bootloader may access a PCI
device's CFG SPACE for BAR reprogramming.
The DM needs to inject interrupts/MSIs to its frontend devices whenever
necessary. For example, an RTC device needs to get its ALARM interrupt, or a
PCI device with MSI capability needs to get its MSI.
The DM also provides a PIRQ routing mechanism for platform devices.
PIO/MMIO/CFG SPACE Handler
==========================
This chapter provides a quick introduction of different I/O requests.
PIO Handler Register
--------------------
A PIO range structure in the DM is shown below. It's the parameter needed to
register a PIO handler for a special PIO range:
.. note:: This should be references to API documentation in
``devicemodel/include/inout.h``.
.. code-block:: c
struct inout_port {
const char *name;
int port;
int size;
int flags;
inout_func_t handler;
void *arg;
};
A PIO emulation handler is defined as:
.. code-block:: c
/*
* inout emulation handlers return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
*/
typedef int (*inout_func_t)(struct vmctx *ctx, int vcpu, int in, int port, int bytes, uint32_t *eax, void *arg);
The DM pre-registers the PIO emulation handlers through the macro
``INOUT_PORT``, or registers the PIO emulation handlers through the
``register_inout()`` function after ``init_inout()``:
.. code-block:: c
#define INOUT_PORT(name, port, flags, handler) \
static struct inout_port __CONCAT(__inout_port, __LINE__) = { \
#name, \
(port), \
1, \
(flags), \
(handler), \
0 \
}; \
DATA_SET(inout_port_set, __CONCAT(__inout_port, __LINE__))
int register_inout(struct inout_port *iop);
int unregister_inout(struct inout_port *iop);
MMIO Handler Register
---------------------
An MMIO range structure is defined below. As with PIO, it's the
parameter needed to register a MMIO handler for a special MMIO range:
.. code-block:: c
struct mem_range {
const char *name;
int flags;
mem_func_t handler;
void *arg1;
long arg2;
uint64_t base;
uint64_t size;
};
An MMIO emulation handler is defined as:
.. code-block:: c
typedef int (*mem_func_t)(struct vmctx *ctx, int vcpu, int dir, uint64_t addr,
int size, uint64_t *val, void *arg1, long arg2);
The DM needs to call the ``register_mem()`` function to register its emulated
device's MMIO handler:
.. code-block:: c
int register_mem(struct mem_range *memp);
int unregister_mem(struct mem_range *memp);
CFG SPACE Handler Register
--------------------------
As HSM intercepts the cf8/cfc PIO access for PCI CFG SPACE, the DM only
needs to provide CFG SPACE read/write handlers directly. Such handlers
are defined as shown below. Normally, a device emulation developer
has no need to update this function.
.. code-block:: c
int emulate_pci_cfgrw(struct vmctx *ctx, int vcpu, int in, int bus, int slot,
int func, int reg, int bytes, int *value)
{
pci_cfgrw(ctx, vcpu, in, bus, slot, func, reg,
bytes, (uint32_t *)value);
return 0;
}
Interrupt Interface
===================
The DM calls these interrupt functions to send a level, edge, or MSI interrupt
to destination emulated devices:
.. code-block:: c
/* Generate one msi interrupt to User VM, the index parameter indicates
* the msi number from its PCI msi capability. */
void pci_generate_msi(struct pci_vdev *pi, int index);
/* Generate one msix interrupt to User VM, the index parameter indicates
* the msix number from its PCI msix bar. */
void pci_generate_msix(struct pci_vdev *pi, int index);
/* Assert INTx interrupt line to high or low. */
void pci_lintr_assert(struct pci_vdev *pi);
void pci_lintr_deassert(struct pci_vdev *pi);
/* Request and release the INTx interrupt resource.
* This API will try to find one best INTx pin of this PCI slot and
* set the "Interrupt pin" field of PCI config space. */
void pci_lintr_request(struct pci_vdev *pi);
void pci_lintr_release(struct pci_vdev *pi);
PIRQ Routing
============
:numref:`pirq-routing` shows a PCI device PIRQ routing example. On a platform,
there could be more PCI devices than available IRQ pin resources on its
PIC or IOAPIC interrupt controller. ICH hardware provides a PIRQ Routing
mechanism to share IRQ pin resources between different PCI devices.
.. figure:: images/dm-image33.png
:align: center
:name: pirq-routing
PIRQ Routing
The DM calls ``pci_lintr_route()`` to emulate this PIRQ routing:
.. code-block:: c
static void
pci_lintr_route(struct pci_vdev *dev)
{
struct businfo *bi;
struct intxinfo *ii;
if (dev->lintr.pin == 0)
return;
bi = pci_businfo[dev->bus];
assert(bi != NULL);
ii = &bi->slotinfo[dev->slot].si_intpins[dev->lintr.pin - 1];
/*
* Attempt to allocate an I/O APIC pin for this intpin if one
* is not yet assigned.
*/
if (ii->ii_ioapic_irq == 0)
ii->ii_ioapic_irq = ioapic_pci_alloc_irq(dev);
assert(ii->ii_ioapic_irq > 0);
/*
* Attempt to allocate a PIRQ pin for this intpin if one is
* not yet assigned.
*/
if (ii->ii_pirq_pin == 0)
ii->ii_pirq_pin = pirq_alloc_pin(dev);
assert(ii->ii_pirq_pin > 0);
dev->lintr.ioapic_irq = ii->ii_ioapic_irq;
dev->lintr.pirq_pin = ii->ii_pirq_pin;
pci_set_cfgdata8(dev, PCIR_INTLINE, pirq_irq(ii->ii_pirq_pin));
}
The PIRQ routing for IOAPIC and PIC is dealt with differently.
* For IOAPIC, the IRQ pin is allocated in a round-robin fashion within the
pins permitted for PCI devices. The IRQ information will be built
into the ACPI DSDT table then passed to the guest VM.
* For PIC, the ``pin2irq`` information is maintained in a ``pirqs[]`` array
(the array size is 8
representing 8 shared PIRQs). When a PCI device tries to allocate a
pIRQ pin, it will do a balancing calculation to figure out a best pin
vs. IRQ pair. The IRQ number will be programed into PCI INTLINE config space,
and the pin number will be built into the ACPI DSDT table then passed to
the guest VM.
.. note:: "IRQ" here is also called "GSI" in ACPI terminology.
Regarding INT A/B/C/D for PCI devices, the DM just allocates them evenly
prior to pIRQ routing and then programs into PCI INTPIN config space.
ISA and PCI Emulation
*********************
ISA Emulation
=============
There is no explicit ISA emulation structure in DM; it calls the
corresponding device initialization functions directly, and takes the
usage of PIO/MMIO handler and interrupt APIs (described in `I/O Client
Interfaces`_) in its routine.
PCI Emulation
=============
.. figure:: images/dm-image83.png
:align: center
PCI Emulation Structure
PCI emulation takes care of three interfaces:
- PCI configuration space update interface
- BAR IO/MMIO handlers
- INTR/MSI injection
The core PCI emulation structures are:
.. note:: Reference ``struct businfo`` API from ``devicemodel/hw/pci/core.c``.
During PCI initialization, the DM will scan each PCI bus, slot, and
function and identify the PCI devices configured by ``acrn-dm`` command
line. The corresponding PCI device's initialization function will
be called to initialize its config space, allocate its BAR resource, its
irq, and do its IRQ routing.
.. note:: Reference API documentation for ``pci_vdev, pci_vdef_ops``.
The ``pci_vdev_ops`` of the ``pci_vdev`` structure could be installed by
customized handlers for cfgwrite/cfgread and barwrite/barread.
The cfgwrite/cfgread handlers will be called from the configuration
space handler. The barwrite/barread will be
called from the PIO/MMIO handler.
The PCI emulation device will make use of interrupt APIs as well for
its interrupt injection.
PCI Host Bridge and Hierarchy
=============================
The DM provides PCI host bridge emulation. The ``acrn-dm`` command-line
input determines the bus hierarchy. Using this command line, as an
example:
.. code-block:: bash
acrn-dm -m 2048M \
-s 0:0,hostbridge \
-s 1:0,lpc -l com1,stdio \
-s 5,virtio-console,@pty:pty_port \
-s 3,virtio-blk,/home/acrn/UserVM.img \
-s 4,virtio-net,tap=LaaG \
-B "root=/dev/vda2 rw rootwait maxcpus=3 nohpet console=hvc0 \
console=ttyS0 no_timer_check ignore_loglevel log_buf_len=16M \
consoleblank=0 tsc=reliable \
i915.enable_hangcheck=0 i915.nuclear_pageflip=1 \
i915.enable_guc=0" vm1
the bus hierarchy would be:
.. code-block:: console

ACPI Virtualization
*******************
Introduction
============
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) provides an open
standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure
computer hardware components to perform power management, for example, by
monitoring status and putting unused components to sleep.
Functions implemented by ACPI include:
- System/Device/Processor power management
- Device/Processor performance management
- Configuration / Plug and Play
- System event
- Battery management
- Thermal management
All critical functions depend on ACPI tables.
On an Apollo Lake platform with Linux installed, we can see these tables using:
.. code-block:: console
$ ls /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
APIC data DMAR DSDT dynamic FACP FACS HPET MCFG NHLT TPM2
These tables provide different information and functions:
- Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) for Symmetric
Multiprocessor systems (SMP)
- DMA remapping (DMAR) for Intel |reg| Virtualization Technology for
Directed I/O (VT-d)
- Non-HD Audio Link Table (NHLT) for supporting audio device
- Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) for system
configuration information. DSDT is a major ACPI table used to describe what
peripherals the machine has, and information on PCI IRQ mappings and
power management
Most of the
ACPI functionality is provided in ACPI Machine Language (AML) bytecode
stored in the ACPI tables. To make use of these tables, Linux implements
an interpreter for the AML bytecode. When the BIOS is built, AML
bytecode is compiled from the ASL (ACPI Source Language) code. To
disassemble the ACPI table, use the ``iasl`` tool:
.. code-block:: console
root@:Dom0 ~ $ cp /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DMAR .
root@:Dom0 ~ $ iasl -d DMAR

From the displayed ASL, we can see some generic table fields, such as
version info, and one VT-d remapping engine description with FED64000 as
base address.
We can modify ``DMAR.dsl`` and assemble it again to AML:
.. code-block:: console

A new AML file ``DMAR.aml`` is created.
There are many ACPI tables in the system, linked together via table
pointers. In all ACPI-compatible systems, the OS can enumerate all
needed tables starting with the Root System Description Pointer (RSDP)
provided at a known place in the system low address space, and pointing
to an XSDT (Extended System Description Table). The following picture
shows a typical ACPI table layout in an Apollo Lake platform:

ACPI Virtualization
===================
Most modern OSes require ACPI, so we need ACPI virtualization to
emulate one ACPI-capable virtual platform for a guest OS. To achieve this,
there are two options, depending on the method used to abstract the physical
device and ACPI resources: Partitioning and Emulation.
ACPI Partitioning
-----------------
One ACPI resource abstraction option is to partition all physical
devices and ACPI resources between all guest OSes. That means each guest
OS owns part of the devices with passthrough, as shown below:
.. list-table::
:widths: 33 33 33
:header-rows: 1
* - PCI Devices
- VM0 (Cluster VM)
- VM1 (IVI VM)
* - **I2C**
- I2C3, I2C0
- I2C1, I2C2, I2C4, I2C5, I2C6, I2C7
* - **SPI**
- SPI1
- SPI0, SPI2
* - **USB**
-
- USB-Host (xHCI) and USB-Device (xDCI)
* - **SDIO**

* - **UART**

For simplicity, early ACRN development used partitioning. To
achieve the partitions, we hacked the PCI logic to make different VMs see
different subsets of devices, and create one copy of the ACPI tables for
each of them, as shown here:
.. figure:: images/dm-image26.png
:align: center
For each VM, its ACPI tables are a stand-alone copy, not related to the
tables for other VMs. Opregion also must be copied for different VMs.
For each table, we make modifications, based on the physical table, to
reflect the assigned devices to this VM. As shown in the figure below,
we keep SP2(0:19.1) for VM0, and SP1(0:19.0)/SP3(0:19.2) for VM1.
Any time the partition policy changes, we must modify both tables again,
including disassembling, modifying, and assembling, which is tricky and
potentially error-prone.
.. figure:: images/dm-image43.png
:align: center
ACPI Emulation
--------------
An alternative ACPI resource abstraction option is for the Service VM to
own all devices and emulate a set of virtual devices for the User VM
(POST_LAUNCHED_VM).
This is the most popular ACPI resource model for virtualization,
as shown in the picture below. ACRN
uses device emulation plus some device passthrough for the User VM.
.. figure:: images/dm-image52.png
:align: center
ACPI Emulation Model
For ACPI virtualization in ACRN, different policies are used for
different components:
- **Hypervisor** - ACPI is transparent to the hypervisor, and has no knowledge
of ACPI at all.
- **Service VM** - The Service VM owns all physical ACPI resources
and enumerates all ACPI tables and devices.
- **User VM** - Virtual ACPI resources, exposed by the Device Model, are owned
by the User VM.
The ACPI emulation code of the Device Model is found in
``hw/platform/acpi/acpi.c``
Each entry in ``basl_ftables`` is related to each virtual ACPI table,
including the following elements:
- wsect - output handler to write related ACPI table contents to
specific file
- offset - related ACPI table offset in the memory
- valid - dynamically indicate if this table is needed
.. code-block:: c
static struct {
int (*wsect)(FILE *fp, struct vmctx *ctx);
uint64_t offset;
bool valid;
} basl_ftables[] = {
{ basl_fwrite_rsdp, 0, true },
{ basl_fwrite_rsdt, RSDT_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_xsdt, XSDT_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_madt, MADT_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_fadt, FADT_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_hpet, HPET_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_mcfg, MCFG_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_facs, FACS_OFFSET, true },
{ basl_fwrite_nhlt, NHLT_OFFSET, false }, /*valid with audio ptdev*/
{ basl_fwrite_tpm2, TPM2_OFFSET, false },
{ basl_fwrite_psds, PSDS_OFFSET, false }, /*valid when psds present in Service VM */
{ basl_fwrite_dsdt, DSDT_OFFSET, true }
};
The main function to create virtual ACPI tables is ``acpi_build`` that calls
``basl_compile`` for each table. ``basl_compile`` does the following:
1. create two temp files: ``infile`` and ``outfile``
2. with output handler, write table contents stream to ``infile``
3. use ``iasl`` tool to assemble ``infile`` into ``outfile``
4. load ``outfile`` contents to the required memory offset
.. code-block:: c
static int
basl_compile(struct vmctx *ctx,
int (*fwrite_section)(FILE *, struct vmctx *),
uint64_t offset)
{
struct basl_fio io[2];
static char iaslbuf[3*MAXPATHLEN + 10];
int err;
err = basl_start(&io[0], &io[1]);
if (!err) {
err = (*fwrite_section)(io[0].fp, ctx);
if (!err) {
/*
* iasl sends the results of the compilation to
* stdout. Shut this down by using the shell to
* redirect stdout to /dev/null, unless the user
* has requested verbose output for debugging
* purposes
*/
if (basl_verbose_iasl)
snprintf(iaslbuf, sizeof(iaslbuf),
"%s -p %s %s",
ASL_COMPILER,
io[1].f_name, io[0].f_name);
else
snprintf(iaslbuf, sizeof(iaslbuf),
"/bin/sh -c \"%s -p %s %s\" 1> /dev/null",
ASL_COMPILER,
io[1].f_name, io[0].f_name);
err = system(iaslbuf);
if (!err) {
/*
* Copy the aml output file into guest
* memory at the specified location
*/
err = basl_load(ctx, io[1].fd, offset);
} else
err = -1;
}
basl_end(&io[0], &io[1]);
}
After handling each entry, virtual ACPI tables are present in User VM
memory.
For passthrough devices in the User VM, we may need to add some ACPI description
in the virtual DSDT table. There is one hook (``passthrough_write_dsdt``) in
``hw/pci/passthrough.c`` for this. The following source code
calls different functions to add different contents for each vendor and
device id:
.. code-block:: c
static void
passthru_write_dsdt(struct pci_vdev *dev)
{
struct passthru_dev *ptdev = (struct passthru_dev *) dev->arg;
uint32_t vendor = 0, device = 0;
vendor = read_config(ptdev->phys_dev, PCIR_VENDOR, 2);
if (vendor != 0x8086)
return;
device = read_config(ptdev->phys_dev, PCIR_DEVICE, 2);
/* Provides ACPI extra info */
if (device == 0x5aaa)
/* XDCI @ 00:15.1 to enable ADB */
write_dsdt_xhci(dev);
else if (device == 0x5ab4)
/* HDAC @ 00:17.0 as codec */
write_dsdt_hdac(dev);
else if (device == 0x5a98)
/* HDAS @ 00:e.0 */
write_dsdt_hdas(dev);
else if (device == 0x5aac)
/* i2c @ 00:16.0 for ipu */
write_dsdt_ipu_i2c(dev);
else if (device == 0x5abc)
/* URT1 @ 00:18.0 for bluetooth*/
write_dsdt_urt1(dev);
else if (device == 0x5aca)
/* SDC @ 00:1b.0 */
write_dsdt_sdc(dev);
}
For instance, ``write_dsdt_urt1`` provides ACPI contents for a Bluetooth
UART device when passed through to the User VM. It provides the virtual PCI
device/function as ``_ADR``. With another description, it could be used for
Bluetooth UART enumeration.
.. code-block:: c
static void
write_dsdt_urt1(struct pci_vdev *dev)
{
printf("write virt-%x:%x.%x in dsdt for URT1 @ 00:18.0\n",
dev->bus,
dev->slot,
dev->func);
dsdt_line("Device (URT1)");
dsdt_line("{");
dsdt_line(" Name (_ADR, 0x%04X%04X)", dev->slot, dev->func);
dsdt_line(" Name (_DDN, \"Intel(R) HS-UART Controller #1\")");
dsdt_line(" Name (_UID, One)");
dsdt_line(" Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()");
dsdt_line(" {");
dsdt_line(" })");
dsdt_line(" Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)");
dsdt_line(" {");
dsdt_line(" Return (RBUF)");
dsdt_line(" }");
dsdt_line("}");
}
PM in Device Model
******************
The power management (PM) module in the Device Model emulates the User VM
low-power state transition.
Each time the User VM writes an ACPI control register to initialize low-power
state transition, the writing operation is trapped to the DM as an I/O
emulation request by the I/O emulation framework.
To emulate User VM S5 entry, the DM destroys the I/O request client, releases
allocated User VM memory, stops all created threads, destroys the User VM, and
exits the DM. To emulate S5 exit, a fresh DM started by the VM manager is used.
To emulate User VM S3 entry, the DM pauses the User VM, stops the User VM
watchdog,
and waits for a resume signal. When the User VM should exit from S3, the DM
gets a wakeup signal and resets the User VM to emulate the User VM exit from
S3.
Passthrough in Device Model
