Hello, All,
I am trying to enable kvm for a guest vm on an APM X-Gene Host with
latest qemu, but could not make it work.
The host is APM X-Gene 8-core, Linux kernel is 4.1.0-rc7-1-arm64,
Guest kernel is linux-3.16rc3
QEMU is latest version
Host has these dmesg info
[ 2.708259] kvm [1]: GICH base=0x780c0000, GICV base=0x780e0000, IRQ=25
[ 2.708327] kvm [1]: timer IRQ30
[ 2.708335] kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully
Host has dev/kvm.
command-line is
aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,kernel_irqchip=off
-cpu cortex-a57 -machine accel=kvm -nographic -smp 1 -m 2048 -kernel
aarch64-linux-3.16rc3-buildroot.img --append "console=ttyAMA0"
when using cpu "cortex-a57", got the error "kvm_init_vcpu failed:
Invalid argument"
when using cpu "host", got the error "Failed to retrieve host CPU features!"
By the way, all the command line works well under "tcg" mode.
Anyone has a quick idea? Thanks in advance.
Best,
Liang

Currently, it is not possible to run qemu with a cpu type other than the
host. I'm currently in the process of adding the necessary support and
have posted the necessary RFC patches for kvm[1] and qemu[2].

-cpu host is the correct option here (as Tushar says, specifying
a CPU other than the one your host has won't work until the
functionality he's working on is done).
The error message you get when you try '-cpu host' indicates that
kvm_arm_get_host_cpu_features() failed. That function
really just does a "create scratch VM", so it is exercising the
basic kernel "create VM" operations. It (and the function
kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu() that it calls) are fairly
short and simple, so I would suggest either singlestepping
through them with a debugger or adding diagnostic printfs
to find out which system call is failing.
My gut feeling is that this is a bug or missing feature in your
host kernel.
thanks

I thought I recognised one of my images ;-)
Why are you running with kernel_irqchip=off?
Without it I can boot the image fine on my APM running 4.3.0-rc1-ajb but
with it I helpfully seg the kernel:

Yeah, we have a fix for that one (from Pavel), though this hides another
gem. Patches on the list shortly.

Haven't seen that one yet.

I've posted the relevant patches there:
https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2015-September/016487.html
I'd appreciate any form of testing.
Thanks,

Hello, Tushar,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I already patched your code there, also used the command "-cpu
cortex-a57,bpts=2,wpts=2" ,but did not change the output,
I am trying to check the KVM code from Linux kernel now.
By the way, I am very interested in your work here, feel free to let me
know if there
are anything I can be involved.
Best,
Liang

Hello, Alex,
Thanks for your reply and your pre-boot image. Very helpful.
The reason I ran with "kernel_irqchip=off" is because it showed the
error "Create kernel irqchip failed: No such device"
are you familiar with it?
I did not try kernel 4.3.x yet, have you released on your linaro website
now?
Thanks for your log file, it shows something wrong with the vcpu, I am
gonna check the kvm code from host kernel now.
Will let you know the update.
Best,
Liang
