However there seems to be no support for the 7450 software TLB in the kernel. There are only handlers for the 4xx, 8xx and 603 which are different code altogether. There's no mention of the TLBMISS and PTEHI/LO registers in the code as well. Do we know of any guest OS that implements the 7450 software TLB at vectors 0x1000, 0x1100 and 0x1200? Otherwise replacing the POWERPC_MMU_SOFT_74xx model with POWERPC_MMU_32B might be the only way of getting an OS to run in the 7450 family.

[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] QEMU/openbios: PPC Software TLB support in the G4 family
by Fabiano Rosas 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

Hi all, Recap: - QEMU enables 7450 SW TLB search by default; - OpenBIOS does not know about SW TLB (vectors 0x1000, 0x1100, 0x1200); - OpenBIOS does not know about 7450s PVRs. Proposed solutions: a) find another firmware/guest OS code that supports the feature; b) implement the switching of the feature in QEMU and have the guest code enable it only when supported. That would take some fiddling with the MMU code to: merge POWERPC_MMU_SOFT_74xx into POWERPC_MMU_32B, check the HID0[STEN] bit, figure out how to switch from HW TLB miss to SW TLB miss on demand, block access to the TLBMISS register (and others) when the feature is off, and so on; c) leave the feature enabled in QEMU and implement the software TLB miss handlers in openbios. The UM provides sample code, so this is easy; d) remove support for software TLB search for the 7450 family and switch the cpus to the POWERPC_MMU_32B model. This is by far the easiest solution, but could cause problems for any (which?) guest OS code that actually uses the feature. All of the existing code for the POWERPC_MMU_SOFT_74xx MMU model would probably be removed since it would be dead code then; v1: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2021-11/msg00289.html v2: This series corresponds to option d) above. - patch 1 moves all of the 7450 CPUs* into the POWERPC_MMU_32B MMU model, which does the same as the POWERPC_MMU_SOFT_74xx minus the software TLB handling. It also removes the instructions (tlbld, tlbli) and SPRs (TLBMISS, PTEHI, PTELO) from the 7450s as these facilities are only used along with the software TLB. *- except for 7448, which is seen by QEMU as a 7400. - patch 2 removes the instructions and SPRs just like above, but from the e600 CPU. The e600 already uses the POWERPC_MMU_32B MMU model, so it already has software TLB disabled. - patch 3 removes all of the now dead code for the 74xx software TLB. I left a note in the code with keywords to help with grep in case people search for the feature in the future. - patch 4 adds smoke tests for all of the 74xx CPUs. These are broken pending the OpenBIOS patch. For OpenBIOS: We'd need to merge the patch 2/2 from the previous series: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2021-11/msg00290.html Message ID: 20211119134431.406753-3-farosas(a)linux.ibm.com this is just for the new PVRs. There is no need to add the handlers. Thanks!
