[PATCH for-4.14 0/8] x86/vpt: fixes for vpt and enable vPIT for PVH dom0
Posted by Roger Pau Monne 3 years, 10 months ago
Hello,

The first 6 patches on this series are fixes for HVM virtual timers or
for the handling of the emulated PIT. I think they are all candidates
for 4.14 since without those PIT is not usable (and likely other
emulated timers will also experience issues) unless the OS happens to
make a very specific use of it, ie: timers must be configured from vCPU
0 and the destination must also be set to vCPU 0. FreeBSD for example
doesn't follow such rules, as it will usually configure PIT timers from
vCPU 0 and the destination will be set to a random vCPU in the system,
and as a result gets a non functional PIT.

Patches 7 and 8 enable the usage of the emulated vPIT for PVH dom0,
which is said to be required for certain video BIOS. As I mostly test
PVH dom0 on headless systems I'm not able to assert how common this is,
but given that it's already enabled for a classic PV dom0 let's try to
not regress and also provide a working PIT for PVH dom0.

I think the whole batch is also a candidate for backporting.

Thanks, Roger.

Roger Pau Monne (8):
  x86/hvm: fix vIO-APIC build without IRQ0_SPECIAL_ROUTING
  x86/hvm: don't force vCPU 0 for IRQ 0 when using fixed destination
    mode
  x86/hvm: fix ISA IRQ 0 handling when set as lowest priority mode in IO
    APIC
  x86/vpt: only try to resume timers belonging to enabled devices
  x86/hvm: only translate ISA interrupts to GSIs in virtual timers
  x86/vpt: fix injection to remote vCPU
  x86/hvm: add hardware domain support to hvm_isa_irq_to_gsi
  x86/hvm: enable emulated PIT for PVH dom0
