[PATCH] sgx: Move sgx object from /machine/unattached to /machine
Posted by Yang Zhong 4 years ago 
When Libvirt start, it get the vcpu's unavailable-features from
/machine/unattached/device[0] path by qom-get command, but in SGX
guest, since the sgx-epc virtual device is initialized before VCPU
creation(virtual sgx need set the virtual EPC info in the cpuid). This
/machine/unattached/device[0] is occupied by sgx-epc device, which
fail to get the unvailable-features from /machine/unattached/device[0].

This patch make one new /machine/sgx object to avoid this issue.
(qemu) qom-list /machine/unattached/
device[0] (child<host-x86_64-cpu>)

(qemu) qom-list /machine/sgx
device[0] (child<sgx-epc>)

If libvirt decides to enable SGX in a VM, then surely it knows
that it should just query /machine/unattached/device[1] to get
the CPU features instead. Why do we need to do anything in QEMU ?

The qdev.c file is part of our generic object code. It should not
contain any code that is tied to very specific object types like
this.

libvirt having to know it needs to look at /machine/unattached/device[n]
for anything is a bit fragile, really... it's effectively encoding
knowledge about what order things happen to get created inside QEMU.

So how do CPUs and other devices end up being under /unattached/ ?
Can we ensure that *all* QEMU devices have a well defined attachment
point ?

Daniel

  I listed two solutions in the Qemu or Libvirt before:
  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-11/msg05670.html

  This time, I posted this patch and hope to have a talk for this issue.

  If Libvirt side should handle this, I will drop this patch and inform
  them to do this. Thanks!
