sPAPR Dynamic Reconfiguration
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
sPAPR or pSeries guests make use of a facility called dynamic reconfiguration
|
|
to handle hot plugging of dynamic "physical" resources like PCI cards, or
|
|
"logical"/para-virtual resources like memory, CPUs, and "physical"
|
|
host-bridges, which are generally managed by the host/hypervisor and provided
|
|
to guests as virtualized resources. The specifics of dynamic reconfiguration
|
|
are documented extensively in section 13 of the Linux on Power Architecture
|
|
Reference document ([LoPAR]_). This document provides a summary of that
|
|
information as it applies to the implementation within QEMU.
|
|
|
|
Dynamic-reconfiguration Connectors
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
To manage hot plug/unplug of these resources, a firmware abstraction known as
|
|
a Dynamic Resource Connector (DRC) is used to assign a particular dynamic
|
|
resource to the guest, and provide an interface for the guest to manage
|
|
configuration/removal of the resource associated with it.
|
|
|
|
Device tree description of DRCs
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
A set of four Open Firmware device tree array properties are used to describe
|
|
the name/index/power-domain/type of each DRC allocated to a guest at
|
|
boot time. There may be multiple sets of these arrays, rooted at different
|
|
paths in the device tree depending on the type of resource the DRCs manage.
|
|
|
|
In some cases, the DRCs themselves may be provided by a dynamic resource,
|
|
such as the DRCs managing PCI slots on a hot plugged PHB. In this case the
|
|
arrays would be fetched as part of the device tree retrieval interfaces
|
|
for hot plugged resources described under :ref:`guest-host-interface`.
|
|
|
|
The array properties are described below. Each entry/element in an array
|
|
describes the DRC identified by the element in the corresponding position
|
|
of ``ibm,drc-indexes``:
|
|
|
|
``ibm,drc-names``
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
First 4-bytes: big-endian (BE) encoded integer denoting the number of entries.
|
|
|
|
Each entry: a NULL-terminated ``<name>`` string encoded as a byte array.
|
|
|
|
``<name>`` values for logical/virtual resources are defined in the Linux on
|
|
Power Architecture Reference ([LoPAR]_) section 13.5.2.4, and basically
|
|
consist of the type of the resource followed by a space and a numerical
|
|
value that's unique across resources of that type.
|
|
|
|
``<name>`` values for "physical" resources such as PCI or VIO devices are
|
|
defined as being "location codes", which are the "location labels" of each
|
|
encapsulating device, starting from the chassis down to the individual slot
|
|
for the device, concatenated by a hyphen. This provides a mapping of
|
|
resources to a physical location in a chassis for debugging purposes. For
|
|
QEMU, this mapping is less important, so we assign a location code that
|
|
conforms to naming specifications, but is simply a location label for the
|
|
slot by itself to simplify the implementation. The naming convention for
|
|
location labels is documented in detail in the [LoPAR]_ section 12.3.1.5,
|
|
and in our case amounts to using ``C<n>`` for PCI/VIO device slots, where
|
|
``<n>`` is unique across all PCI/VIO device slots.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,drc-indexes``
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
First 4-bytes: BE-encoded integer denoting the number of entries.
|
|
|
|
Each 4-byte entry: BE-encoded ``<index>`` integer that is unique across all
|
|
DRCs in the machine.
|
|
|
|
``<index>`` is arbitrary, but in the case of QEMU we try to maintain the
|
|
convention used to assign them to pSeries guests on pHyp (the hypervisor
|
|
portion of PowerVM):
|
|
|
|
``bit[31:28]``: integer encoding of ``<type>``, where ``<type>`` is:
|
|
|
|
``1`` for CPU resource.
|
|
|
|
``2`` for PHB resource.
|
|
|
|
``3`` for VIO resource.
|
|
|
|
``4`` for PCI resource.
|
|
|
|
``8`` for memory resource.
|
|
|
|
``bit[27:0]``: integer encoding of ``<id>``, where ``<id>`` is unique
|
|
across all resources of specified type.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,drc-power-domains``
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
First 4-bytes: BE-encoded integer denoting the number of entries.
|
|
|
|
Each 4-byte entry: 32-bit, BE-encoded ``<index>`` integer that specifies the
|
|
power domain the resource will be assigned to. In the case of QEMU we
|
|
associated all resources with a "live insertion" domain, where the power is
|
|
assumed to be managed automatically. The integer value for this domain is a
|
|
special value of ``-1``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``ibm,drc-types``
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
First 4-bytes: BE-encoded integer denoting the number of entries.
|
|
|
|
Each entry: a NULL-terminated ``<type>`` string encoded as a byte array.
|
|
``<type>`` is assigned as follows:
|
|
|
|
"CPU" for a CPU.
|
|
|
|
"PHB" for a physical host-bridge.
|
|
|
|
"SLOT" for a VIO slot.
|
|
|
|
"28" for a PCI slot.
|
|
|
|
"MEM" for memory resource.
|
|
|
|
.. _guest-host-interface:
|
|
|
|
Guest->Host interface to manage dynamic resources
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
Each DRC is given a globally unique DRC index, and resources associated with a
|
|
particular DRC are configured/managed by the guest via a number of RTAS calls
|
|
which reference individual DRCs based on the DRC index. This can be considered
|
|
the guest->host interface.
|
|
|
|
``rtas-set-power-level``
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Set the power level for a specified power domain.
|
|
|
|
``arg[0]``: integer identifying power domain.
|
|
|
|
``arg[1]``: new power level for the domain, ``0-100``.
|
|
|
|
``output[0]``: status, ``0`` on success.
|
|
|
|
``output[1]``: power level after command.
|
|
|
|
``rtas-get-power-level``
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Get the power level for a specified power domain.
|
|
|
|
``arg[0]``: integer identifying power domain.
|
|
|
|
``output[0]``: status, ``0`` on success.
|
|
|
|
``output[1]``: current power level.
|
|
|
|
``rtas-set-indicator``
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Set the state of an indicator or sensor.
|
|
|
|
``arg[0]``: integer identifying sensor/indicator type.
|
|
|
|
``arg[1]``: index of sensor, for DR-related sensors this is generally the DRC
|
|
index.
|
|
|
|
``arg[2]``: desired sensor value.
|
|
|
|
``output[0]``: status, ``0`` on success.
|
|
|
|
For the purpose of this document we focus on the indicator/sensor types
|
|
associated with a DRC. The types are:
|
|
|
|
* ``9001``: ``isolation-state``, controls/indicates whether a device has been
|
|
made accessible to a guest. Supported sensor values:
|
|
|
|
``0``: ``isolate``, device is made inaccessible by guest OS.
|
|
|
|
``1``: ``unisolate``, device is made available to guest OS.
|
|
|
|
* ``9002``: ``dr-indicator``, controls "visual" indicator associated with
|
|
device. Supported sensor values:
|
|
|
|
``0``: ``inactive``, resource may be safely removed.
|
|
|
|
``1``: ``active``, resource is in use and cannot be safely removed.
|
|
|
|
``2``: ``identify``, used to visually identify slot for interactive hot plug.
|
|
|
|
``3``: ``action``, in most cases, used in the same manner as identify.
|
|
|
|
* ``9003``: ``allocation-state``, generally only used for "logical" DR resources
|
|
to request the allocation/deallocation of a resource prior to acquiring it via
|
|
``isolation-state->unisolate``, or after releasing it via
|
|
``isolation-state->isolate``, respectively. For "physical" DR (like PCI
|
|
hot plug/unplug) the pre-allocation of the resource is implied and this sensor
|
|
is unused. Supported sensor values:
|
|
|
|
``0``: ``unusable``, tell firmware/system the resource can be
|
|
unallocated/reclaimed and added back to the system resource pool.
|
|
|
|
``1``: ``usable``, request the resource be allocated/reserved for use by
|
|
guest OS.
|
|
|
|
``2``: ``exchange``, used to allocate a spare resource to use for fail-over
|
|
in certain situations. Unused in QEMU.
|
|
|
|
``3``: ``recover``, used to reclaim a previously allocated resource that's
|
|
not currently allocated to the guest OS. Unused in QEMU.
|
|
|
|
``rtas-get-sensor-state:``
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Used to read an indicator or sensor value.
|
|
|
|
``arg[0]``: integer identifying sensor/indicator type.
|
|
|
|
``arg[1]``: index of sensor, for DR-related sensors this is generally the DRC
|
|
index
|
|
|
|
``output[0]``: status, 0 on success
|
|
|
|
For DR-related operations, the only noteworthy sensor is ``dr-entity-sense``,
|
|
which has a type value of ``9003``, as ``allocation-state`` does in the case of
|
|
``rtas-set-indicator``. The semantics/encodings of the sensor values are
|
|
distinct however.
|
|
|
|
Supported sensor values for ``dr-entity-sense`` (``9003``) sensor:
|
|
|
|
``0``: empty.
|
|
|
|
For physical resources: DRC/slot is empty.
|
|
|
|
For logical resources: unused.
|
|
|
|
``1``: present.
|
|
|
|
For physical resources: DRC/slot is populated with a device/resource.
|
|
|
|
For logical resources: resource has been allocated to the DRC.
|
|
|
|
``2``: unusable.
|
|
|
|
For physical resources: unused.
|
|
|
|
For logical resources: DRC has no resource allocated to it.
|
|
|
|
``3``: exchange.
|
|
|
|
For physical resources: unused.
|
|
|
|
For logical resources: resource available for exchange (see
|
|
``allocation-state`` sensor semantics above).
|
|
|
|
``4``: recovery.
|
|
|
|
For physical resources: unused.
|
|
|
|
For logical resources: resource available for recovery (see
|
|
``allocation-state`` sensor semantics above).
|
|
|
|
``rtas-ibm-configure-connector``
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Used to fetch an OpenFirmware device tree description of the resource associated
|
|
with a particular DRC.
|
|
|
|
``arg[0]``: guest physical address of 4096-byte work area buffer.
|
|
|
|
``arg[1]``: 0, or address of additional 4096-byte work area buffer; only
|
|
non-zero if a prior RTAS response indicated a need for additional memory.
|
|
|
|
``output[0]``: status:
|
|
|
|
``0``: completed transmittal of device tree node.
|
|
|
|
``1``: instruct guest to prepare for next device tree sibling node.
|
|
|
|
``2``: instruct guest to prepare for next device tree child node.
|
|
|
|
``3``: instruct guest to prepare for next device tree property.
|
|
|
|
``4``: instruct guest to ascend to parent device tree node.
|
|
|
|
``5``: instruct guest to provide additional work-area buffer via ``arg[1]``.
|
|
|
|
``990x``: instruct guest that operation took too long and to try again
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
The DRC index is encoded in the first 4-bytes of the first work area buffer.
|
|
Work area (``wa``) layout, using 4-byte offsets:
|
|
|
|
``wa[0]``: DRC index of the DRC to fetch device tree nodes from.
|
|
|
|
``wa[1]``: ``0`` (hard-coded).
|
|
|
|
``wa[2]``:
|
|
|
|
For next-sibling/next-child response:
|
|
|
|
``wa`` offset of null-terminated string denoting the new node's name.
|
|
|
|
For next-property response:
|
|
|
|
``wa`` offset of null-terminated string denoting new property's name.
|
|
|
|
``wa[3]``: for next-property response (unused otherwise):
|
|
|
|
Byte-length of new property's value.
|
|
|
|
``wa[4]``: for next-property response (unused otherwise):
|
|
|
|
New property's value, encoded as an OFDT-compatible byte array.
|
|
|
|
Hot plug/unplug events
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
For most DR operations, the hypervisor will issue host->guest add/remove events
|
|
using the EPOW/check-exception notification framework, where the host issues a
|
|
check-exception interrupt, then provides an RTAS event log via an
|
|
rtas-check-exception call issued by the guest in response. This framework is
|
|
documented by PAPR+ v2.7, and already use in by QEMU for generating powerdown
|
|
requests via EPOW events.
|
|
|
|
For DR, this framework has been extended to include hotplug events, which were
|
|
previously unneeded due to direct manipulation of DR-related guest userspace
|
|
tools by host-level management such as an HMC. This level of management is not
|
|
applicable to KVM on Power, hence the reason for extending the notification
|
|
framework to support hotplug events.
|
|
|
|
The format for these EPOW-signalled events is described below under
|
|
:ref:`hot-plug-unplug-event-structure`. Note that these events are not formally
|
|
part of the PAPR+ specification, and have been superseded by a newer format,
|
|
also described below under :ref:`hot-plug-unplug-event-structure`, and so are
|
|
now deemed a "legacy" format. The formats are similar, but the "modern" format
|
|
contains additional fields/flags, which are denoted for the purposes of this
|
|
documentation with ``#ifdef GUEST_SUPPORTS_MODERN`` guards.
|
|
|
|
QEMU should assume support only for "legacy" fields/flags unless the guest
|
|
advertises support for the "modern" format via
|
|
``ibm,client-architecture-support`` hcall by setting byte 5, bit 6 of it's
|
|
``ibm,architecture-vec-5`` option vector structure (as described by [LoPAR]_,
|
|
section B.5.2.3). As with "legacy" format events, "modern" format events are
|
|
surfaced to the guest via check-exception RTAS calls, but use a dedicated event
|
|
source to signal the guest. This event source is advertised to the guest by the
|
|
addition of a ``hot-plug-events`` node under ``/event-sources`` node of the
|
|
guest's device tree using the standard format described in [LoPAR]_,
|
|
section B.5.12.2.

``ibm,lrdr-capacity``
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
``ibm,lrdr-capacity`` is a property in the /rtas device tree node that
|
|
identifies the dynamic reconfiguration capabilities of the guest. It consists
|
|
of a triple consisting of ``<phys>``, ``<size>`` and ``<maxcpus>``.
|
|
|
|
``<phys>``, encoded in BE format represents the maximum address in bytes and
|
|
hence the maximum memory that can be allocated to the guest.
|
|
|
|
``<size>``, encoded in BE format represents the size increments in which
|
|
memory can be hot-plugged to the guest.
|
|
|
|
``<maxcpus>``, a BE-encoded integer, represents the maximum number of
|
|
processors that the guest can have.
|
|
|
|
``pseries`` guests use this property to note the maximum allowed CPUs for the
|
|
guest.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory``
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
``ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory`` is a device tree node that represents
|
|
dynamically reconfigurable logical memory blocks (LMB). This node is generated
|
|
only when the guest advertises the support for it via
|
|
``ibm,client-architecture-support`` call. Memory that is not dynamically
|
|
reconfigurable is represented by ``/memory`` nodes. The properties of this node
|
|
that are of interest to the sPAPR memory hotplug implementation in QEMU are
|
|
described here.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,lmb-size``
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This 64-bit integer defines the size of each dynamically reconfigurable LMB.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,associativity-lookup-arrays``
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This property defines a lookup array in which the NUMA associativity
|
|
information for each LMB can be found. It is a property encoded array
|
|
that begins with an integer M, the number of associativity lists followed
|
|
by an integer N, the number of entries per associativity list and terminated
|
|
by M associativity lists each of length N integers.
|
|
|
|
This property provides the same information as given by ``ibm,associativity``
|
|
property in a ``/memory`` node. Each assigned LMB has an index value between
|
|
0 and M-1 which is used as an index into this table to select which
|
|
associativity list to use for the LMB. This index value for each LMB is defined
|
|
in ``ibm,dynamic-memory`` property.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,dynamic-memory``
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
This property describes the dynamically reconfigurable memory. It is a
|
|
property encoded array that has an integer N, the number of LMBs followed
|
|
by N LMB list entries.
|
|
|
|
Each LMB list entry consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
|
- Logical address of the start of the LMB encoded as a 64-bit integer. This
|
|
corresponds to ``reg`` property in ``/memory`` node.
|
|
- DRC index of the LMB that corresponds to ``ibm,my-drc-index`` property
|
|
in a ``/memory`` node.
|
|
- Four bytes reserved for expansion.
|
|
- Associativity list index for the LMB that is used as an index into
|
|
``ibm,associativity-lookup-arrays`` property described earlier. This is used
|
|
to retrieve the right associativity list to be used for this LMB.
|
|
- A 32-bit flags word. The bit at bit position ``0x00000008`` defines whether
|
|
the LMB is assigned to the partition as of boot time.
|
|
|
|
``ibm,dynamic-memory-v2``
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
This property describes the dynamically reconfigurable memory. This is
|
|
an alternate and newer way to describe dynamically reconfigurable memory.
|
|
It is a property encoded array that has an integer N (the number of
|
|
LMB set entries) followed by N LMB set entries. There is an LMB set entry
|
|
for each sequential group of LMBs that share common attributes.
|
|
|
|
Each LMB set entry consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
|
- Number of sequential LMBs in the entry represented by a 32-bit integer.
|
|
- Logical address of the first LMB in the set encoded as a 64-bit integer.
|
|
