[PATCH v3 0/2] pci: load memory window setup from host
by Michael S. Tsirkin 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

This is a refactoring of patch PATCH v2: pci: load memory window setup from host. Please note qemu merged the required interface already. Please review, and consider for release. Changes from v2: - address comments by Kevin: avoid dynamic memory allocation refactor code to avoid special-casing loaded windows - split out to two patch series Changes from v1: - fix bug in 64 bit range check - address Kevin's comments: move file load into pciinit.c dont reorder initialization sizeof style fix Michael S.

25 Jul '13

The Call for Proposals for the 2013 Linux Plumbers Virtualization Microconference is now open. This uconf is being held as part of Linux Plumbers Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA September 18-20th and is co-located with LinuxCon North America. For more information see: http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013/ The tentative deadline for proposals is August 1st. To submit a topic please email a brief abstract to lpc2013-virt-mc(a)codemonkey.ws If you require travel assistance (extremely limited) in order to attend, please note that in your submission. Also, please keep an eye on: http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013/submitting-topic/ http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013/participate/ We've setup the above email submission as an interim approach until the LPC program committee brings the official submission tool online. I'll send a follow-up message when that occurs, but please send your proposals as soon as possible. Thanks, Alex

[PATCH v2 0/4] qemu: generate acpi tables for the guest
by Michael S. Tsirkin 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

This patchset moves all generation of ACPI tables from guest BIOS to the hypervisor. Please review, and consider for 1.6. Changes from v1 RFC: - added code to address cross version compatibility - rebased to latest bits - updated acpi tables to latest seabios bits (added pvpanic device) Comments: Although ACPI tables come from a system BIOS on real hw, it makes sense that the ACPI tables are coupled with the virtual machine, since they have to abstract the x86 machine to the OS's. This is widely desired as a way to avoid the churn and proliferation of QEMU-specific interfaces associated with ACPI tables in bios code. An RFC patchset adding support for hotplug of devices behind PCI to PCI bridges on top of this infrastructure was sent to the list a while ago. Latest version of that patchset will also be re-sent soon. If you look at the actual code: i386: imports ACPI table generation code from seabios you will see that it's more complex than it needs to be, with lots of low level casts and similar tricks. There's also a bit of duplication where we already declare similar acpi structures in qemu. This is the result of code being a direct port from seabios. Laszlo's patch (build ACPI MADT (APIC) for fw_cfg) shows how this will be cleaned up by follow-up work. I think it's best to do it in this order: port code directly, and apply cleanups and reduce duplication that results, on top. This way it's much easier to see that we don't introduce regressions. In particular, for a simple VM with piix, I booted a guest on qemu with and without the change, and verified that ACPI tables are unchanged except for trivial pointer address changes. Such binary compatibility makes it easier to be confident that this change won't break things. Michael S.

[PATCH] Add missing mathcp_setup() call to CSM code.
by Kevin O'Connor 22 Jul '13

It looks like when mathcp_setup() got moved from interface_init() to platform_hardware_setup() in 3a735baa the corresponding change was not made to the CSM code. Update it now.

[PATCH] Default unused UMB areas to be read-only.
by Kevin O'Connor 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

It looks like MSDOS 6 wants the UMB area to be read-only in order for it to use it. FreeDOS doesn't care, but it always maps a page from high mem when it does use the area. So, add an option to control whether unused UMB ram is marked read-only and default it to read-only as that seems to be more compatible. This also fixes an off-by-one bug in the shadow range checking code.

[PATCH 00/10] Timer enhancements and cleanups
by Kevin O'Connor 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

This patch series improves the accuracy of the internal timers. It also refactors a bit of the code and makes it a little cleaner. -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (10): Move internal timer code from clock.c to a new file timer.c. Don't pass khz to pmtimer_setup - it's always PM_TIMER_FREQUENCY. Add helper functions to convert timer irqs to milliseconds. Improve accuracy of internal timers. Rename cpu_khz to TimerKHz. Shift CPU TSC down to reduce need for 64bit variables. Rename check_timer() function (and similar) to irqtimer_check(). Rename check_tsc() (and similar) to timer_check() and use u32. Separate out timer setup code. Unify pmtimer_read() and pittimer_read() code.

[PATCH] acpi: sync FADT flags from PIIX4 to Q35
by Michael S. Tsirkin 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

The following commits updated the FADT flags for PIIX4: commit c7be281b3be0f2013aa4b5d5f400981a1adb6e63 Drop FIX_RTC flag from FADT. commit a4e2b9adbba95c2d783761e84444bbb3c8d6107b enable USE_PLATFORM_CLOCK bit in FADT flags Q35 support was originally written before these commits in seabios, PIIX got updated, Q35 didn't. QEMU uses the same clock for both so there's no reason for these bits to differ. Sync them up. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

This looks like the bios.rom file was updated while the acpi-dsdt.aml file was not. The two files must be kept in sync. -Kevin
