Shouldn't we try and implement the same thing in QEMU as well to make things compatible? Also, what would the downside be of always going through QEMU for this hypercall? The reason I'm asking is that we might want to do memmove,memcpy,xor on MMIO memory, which then user space could easily do, but which incurs quite some headaches to do it from inside KVM.

I don't understand your question ... this is implemented in qemu... The problem with SLOF is specific to -M pseries, because it runs in "guest" real mode, it doesn't have access to device memory unless it does it via hcalls.

Hrm, that's a good point. So far we've been mostly implementing the PAPR spec so the documentation exists. Before that patch we only had one "special" hcall not in PAPR, which we use for the RTAS firmware calls (this part of the FW normally lives inside the guest on real pHyp and communicates with the hypervisor using private hcalls, on qemu, we just turn all the RTAS calls to qemu via a single H_RTAS multiplexer). We haven't documented it. Now I'm adding another one, so yes, it's looking like a trend :-) I'll look into it, at this stage with only those two, adding some comments in the header might be plenty enough.

Documentation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt is a nice central place for these. It would be even better if you could add them to the spec.

They don't quite fit with the other PV calls in there which use a different HV calling mechanism alltogether, but I can certainly add a specific section. As to adding things to PAPR, let's assume for now that this isn't possible :-) Besides, those two hypercalls are pretty specific to the way things are implemented in qemu and are in both case more or less private mechanisms used to communicate between qemu and the SLOF firmware we run in inside qemu, they aren't really used by random guest SW and aren't meant to be. It's a bit like if you had private calls between seabios and qemu...

Okay. But let's have a spec, even a kvm-private one, and then an implementation of that spec, instead of an implementation and some documentation added as an afterthought (or not). > It's a bit like if you had private calls between seabios and qemu... We document those too.

Well, we have the implementation so in any case the implementation -will- be an afterthought :-) Anyways, I'll look into adding that to the patch.

BTW. This is a qemu patch, and that hypercall isn't KVM related at all, ie, it's implemented in qemu and is used with or without KVM, so documenting it in the kernel tree makes little sense. Same goes with H_RTAS. I'll add a doc to qemu in my next spin of it.

The hypercall itself. SLOF is the only user. QEMU provides SLOF. SLOF calls the hypercall. If the hypercall returns "I don't exist", it doesn't exist. :) > I'd hate us to find ourselves in a maze of disconnected documentation > with no clear guidelines on when a feature is available and when it is not. Yeah, but semantically these hypercalls are on the same layer as fw_cfg. So they clearly belong to QEMU. In fact, they're also used when running with emulation.

At the moment SLOF just "uses it" when using the frame buffer. We could advertise its presence via the device-tree, there's already stuff there to expose what hypercalls or set of hypecalls are implemented for PAPR, we could add qemu specific extensions.

This adds a kvm-specific hypervisor call to the pseries machine which allows to do what amounts to memmove, memcpy and xor over regions of physical memory such as the framebuffer. This is the simplest way to get usable framebuffer speed from SLOF since the framebuffer isn't mapped in the VRMA and so would otherwise require an hcall per 8 bytes access. The performance is still not great but usable, and can be improved with a more complex implementation of the hcall itself if needed.
