The virtio config area in PIO space is a bit special. The initial
header is little endian but the rest (device specific) is guest
native endian.

The PIO accessors for PCI on machines that don't have native IO ports
assume that all PIO is little endian, which works fine for everything
except the above.

A complicated way to fix it would be to split the BAR into two memory
regions with different endianess settings, but this isn't practical
to do, besides, the PIO code doesn't honor region endianness anyway
(I have a patch for that too but it isn't necessary at this stage).

So I decided to go for the quick fix instead which consists of
reverting the swap in virtio-pci in selected places, hoping that when
we eventually do a "v2" of the virtio protocols, we sort that out once
and for all using a fixed endian setting for everything.

Unfortunately, that mean moving virtio-pci from Makefile.objs to
Makefile.target so we can use TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN which would
otherwise be poisoned.

I just tried to run -net nic,model=virtio with the bamboo target, after I verified that e1000 works. Without your patch, it works. With your patch, it also works.

What exactly is the effect you're seeing without the swap?

Does emulating an e1000 work for you? Maybe the RTAS callbacks really want you to return stuff in little endian?

IIRC all RTAS callbacks need to be in the same bitness and endianness
(MSR LE+SB) as when instantiating RTAS from OF.

Sure, the question is how the PCI controller is wired up usually. Just because RTAS works in native endianness doesn't mean that endianness of the actual device access isn't defined differently.

Check out e500 for example:

    memory_region_init_io(&h->conf_mem, &pci_host_conf_be_ops, h,
                          "pci-conf-idx", 4);
    memory_region_init_io(&h->data_mem, &pci_host_data_le_ops, h,
                          "pci-conf-data", 4);

Here config space, so the address of the config field you're trying to access, is interpreted as big endian, while the actual data is transferred in little endian. Which actually is normal because config space is stored in little endian.

So mabye RTAS also defines config space data as being little endian?

Eugh... you guys don't get it :-) This is -not- about the PCI
configuration space, but the virtio configuration space which is a
slightly different thing (PCI config space works with what's there at
the moment).

So this has nothing to do with e1000 or any other emulated device like
that, but it does have to do with virtio-blk for example.

The way virtio works is that the PIO BAR is split into two parts. The
first part (header) is a set of what's basically pseudo MMIO registers
that are little endian. The second part is device-specific an is ...
guest native endian. (Yeah it's horrible, I know).

This is how it's specified in the virtio spec and how Linux expects it,
with this patch, I can boot an existing fedora 16 with virtio-blk for
example.

Cheers,
Ben.

Ah, yeah, sorry, didn't get that part :).

Here's the thing that I don't understand. What exactly is breaking for you? I tried -M pseries on a ppc box and on an x86 box and both times was able to see /dev/vda.

I think this is the only reasonable way to do it, but I'd suggest adding 
target_is_bigendian() to arch_init.c that way we wouldn't have to move the 
object from libhw.

And mount it and use it ? Here I get the capacity wrong if I don't have
my patch and can't actually boot a distro off it.

Hrm actually, it might well work with Linux regardless because Linux
only ever does 8 bit accesses to the virtio config space.

It's SLOF that breaks because SLOF uses 2 and 4 byte accesses (which are
allowed per spec as far as I can tell) but the spurrious swapping
happening in that case means we lost the byte address invariance.

Cheers,
Ben.

No. Libhw shouldn't be able to know anything about target endianness. If a device is as brokenly spec'ed as virtio and is coupled to the "main CPU endianness", it clearly belongs with the CPU, not into libhw.

Ok, can you guys solve this and tell me what I should do ? :-)

Cheers,
Ben.

Your patch is fine. I also wrote up another patch that fixes the memcpy() in virtio.c so you patch actually works on x86 too. I sent it to you, so please include it in your next submission.

I would heavily veto against keeping virtio-pci in libhw though if it depends on the target endianness. PCI devices don't know about CPUs. Period.

The only thing I could imagine doable would be basically 2 different variants of virtio-pci that happen to expose the same PCI ID, but are initialized differently by a qdev property. We could then have the alias to normal virtio-pci device names in target specific code, but the actual device code in libhw.
