With Fedora 20 Live x86_64: If all I do is 's/ActiveHigh/ActiveLow/' in hw/i386/[q36-]acpi-dsdt.dsl, but otherwise don't try to change how QEMU deals with "logical" vs. "physical" ioapic polarity, things work great. Printk's show polarity set to 1, but with the ignore-polarity patch things work fine. With normal (ActiveHigh) ACPI, printk reports polarity set to 0, and things *still* work exactly the same. So, the way I understand this (and I'm writing this mainly for myself, to make sure I understand correctly, so please kick me if I got it wrong), ACPI tells the guest OS how to configure "physical" ioapic polarity. With ActiveHigh, "physical" == "logical", i.e. "high" == "asserted" and "low" == "deasserted". With ActiveLow, "physical" == !"logical", so the other way around. QEMU being hard-coded to ActiveHigh is the moral equivalent of always sending the kernel (KVM) "logical" line states, rather than "physical" ones. Assuming KVM's userland clients are all coded for ActiveHigh, we can (should, for sanity's sake) just assume line states from userland are logical, and stop paying attention the polarity bits. That way, misbehaving guests [*] can configure their ioapics as they please, and things will just work OK regardless. As you pointed out earlier, even KVM itself already kind-of assumes ActiveHigh (e.g. in __kvm_irq_line_state(), which should be coded differently if ActiveLow were a serious possibility, and, BTW, irq_states[irq] would probably have to be initialized to all-1's if ActiveLow wre used, etc, etc). [*] All Apple hardware is ActiveLow, and OS X has this as a hardcoded assumption (it ignores ACPI's hints to the contrary). So OS X is one of the misbehaving clients I mention above... > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h b/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h > index 902f124..db29b27 100644 > --- a/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h > @@ -674,6 +676,7 @@ struct kvm_ppc_smmu_info { > #define KVM_CAP_ARM_EL1_32BIT 93 > #define KVM_CAP_SPAPR_MULTITCE 94 > #define KVM_CAP_EXT_EMUL_CPUID 95 > +#define KVM_CAP_X86_IOAPIC_POLARITY_IGNORED 96 For one thing, on current kvm git, this conflicts with #define KVM_CAP_HYPERV_TIME 96 but the rest of the patch works (I've already been using it for quite a while to get OS X guests to work...

This is a much better description. Can you turn it into a patch to Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt and a more complete commit message? Also, there is a problem in this: we definitely do not want to have different ACPI tables for TCG vs. KVM. Have you guys tested what happens with Linux guests + TCG if interrupts are declared active-low? QEMU likely has many other places that hard-code active-high. One approach could be to add a QOM property to the ioapic that is a bitmask of which GSIs are active-low. The ioapic can consult it like this: if (vector >= 0 && vector < IOAPIC_NUM_PINS) { uint32_t mask = 1 << vector; uint64_t entry = s->ioredtbl[vector]; if (entry & (1 << IOAPIC_LVT_POLARITY_SHIFT)) { level = !level; } + if (s->active_low_mask & (1 << vector)) { + level = !level; + } if (((entry >> IOAPIC_LVT_TRIGGER_MODE_SHIFT) & 1) == IOAPIC_TRIGGER_LEVEL) { /* level triggered */ etc. so that the two NOTs undo each other, making the input to QEMU's ioapic also "logical" rather than "physical".

Do you mean one patch to change both virt/kvm/ioapic.c and Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt ? Or a separate documentation patch ?

I think removing the polarity xor from KVM is about giving up on trying to add ActiveLow support to QEMU altogether. What I tested was what would happen if Linux (which pays attention to ACPI) were told to use ActiveLow, but thre rest of QEMU continued being hardcoded as ActiveHigh. Basically, another datapoint similar to what happens with OS X, which completely ignores ACPI and configures the ioapic as ActiveLow (even while running on ActiveHigh "hardware", i.e. QEMU). With KVM no longer paying attention to the polarity bit, things work fine, both with Linux-thinking-it's-ActiveLow, and with OS X. But, since QEMU will stay ActiveHigh, I don't think TCG will be impacted in any way by this change. (Hmmm, maybe this one of the reasons I never got OS X to boot without -enable-kvm... I should look at the QEMU hw/intc/ioapic*.c, and see if *it* cares about guest-configured polarity, and maybe get it to *stop* caring :) Thanks, --Gabriel > > QEMU likely has many other places that hard-code active-high.

Why? We already have different ACPI tables for CG vs KVM. Specifically apic interrupt override flag in MADT is set for KVM but not TCG.

apic polarity in KVM does not work: too many things assume active high. Let's not pretend it works, let's just ignore polarity flag. If we ever want to emulate it exactly, this will need a feature flag anyway. Also report this to userspace: this makes it possible to report the interrupt active-low in ACPI, this way we are closer to real hardware. This patch fixes OSX running on KVM. Reported-by: "Gabriel L. Somlo" <gsomlo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> --- Gabriel, could you confirm this fixes OSX for you? If you can play with linux tweaking interrupt to active low, that would be very nice too: it's weekend here.
