Reset in QEMU: the Resettable interface
|
|
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reset of qemu objects is handled using the resettable interface declared
|
|
|
|
in ``include/hw/resettable.h``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface allows objects to be grouped (on a tree basis); so that the
|
|
|
|
whole group can be reset consistently. Each individual member object does not
|
|
|
|
have to care about others; in particular, problems of order (which object is
|
|
|
|
reset first) are addressed.
|
|
|
|
|
2024-02-20 19:06:22 +03:00
|
|
|
The main object types which implement this interface are DeviceClass
|
|
|
|
and BusClass.

Triggering reset
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section documents the APIs which "users" of a resettable object should use
|
|
|
|
to control it. All resettable control functions must be called while holding
|
2024-01-02 18:35:28 +03:00
|
|
|
the BQL.
|

|
|
|
|
You can apply a reset to an object using ``resettable_assert_reset()``. You need
|
|
|
|
to call ``resettable_release_reset()`` to release the object from reset. To
|
|
|
|
instantly reset an object, without keeping it in reset state, just call
|
|
|
|
``resettable_reset()``. These functions take two parameters: a pointer to the
|
|
|
|
object to reset and a reset type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several types of reset will be supported. For now only cold reset is defined;
|
|
|
|
others may be added later. The Resettable interface handles reset types with an
|
|
|
|
enum:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``RESET_TYPE_COLD``
|
|
|
|
Cold reset is supported by every resettable object. In QEMU, it means we reset
|
|
|
|
to the initial state corresponding to the start of QEMU; this might differ
|
|
|
|
from what is a real hardware cold reset. It differs from other resets (like
|
|
|
|
warm or bus resets) which may keep certain parts untouched.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling ``resettable_reset()`` is equivalent to calling
|
|
|
|
``resettable_assert_reset()`` then ``resettable_release_reset()``. It is
|
|
|
|
possible to interleave multiple calls to these three functions. There may
|
|
|
|
be several reset sources/controllers of a given object. The interface handles
|
|
|
|
everything and the different reset controllers do not need to know anything
|
|
|
|
about each others. The object will leave reset state only when each other
|
|
|
|
controllers end their reset operation. This point is handled internally by
|
|
|
|
maintaining a count of in-progress resets; it is crucial to call
|
|
|
|
``resettable_release_reset()`` one time and only one time per
|
|
|
|
``resettable_assert_reset()`` call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now migration of a device or bus in reset is not supported. Care must be
|
|
|
|
taken not to delay ``resettable_release_reset()`` after its
|
|
|
|
``resettable_assert_reset()`` counterpart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that, since resettable is an interface, the API takes a simple Object as
|
|
|
|
parameter. Still, it is a programming error to call a resettable function on a
|
|
|
|
non-resettable object and it will trigger a run time assert error. Since most
|
|
|
|
calls to resettable interface are done through base class functions, such an
|
|
|
|
error is not likely to happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Devices and Buses, the following helper functions exist:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``device_cold_reset()``
|
|
|
|
- ``bus_cold_reset()``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are simple wrappers around resettable_reset() function; they only cast the
|
|
|
|
Device or Bus into an Object and pass the cold reset type. When possible
|
|
|
|
prefer to use these functions instead of ``resettable_reset()``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Device and bus functions co-exist because there can be semantic differences
|
|
|
|
between resetting a bus and resetting the controller bridge which owns it.
|
|
|
|
For example, consider a SCSI controller. Resetting the controller puts all
|
|
|
|
its registers back to what reset state was as well as reset everything on the
|
|
|
|
SCSI bus, whereas resetting just the SCSI bus only resets everything that's on
|
|
|
|
it but not the controller.

|
|
Multi-phase mechanism
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section documents the internals of the resettable interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The resettable interface uses a multi-phase system to relieve objects and
|
|
|
|
machines from reset ordering problems. To address this, the reset operation
|
|
|
|
of an object is split into three well defined phases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When resetting several objects (for example the whole machine at simulation
|
|
|
|
startup), all first phases of all objects are executed, then all second phases
|
|
|
|
and then all third phases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The three phases are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The **enter** phase is executed when the object enters reset. It resets only
|
|
|
|
local state of the object; it must not do anything that has a side-effect
|
|
|
|
on other objects, such as raising or lowering a qemu_irq line or reading or
|
|
|
|
writing guest memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The **hold** phase is executed for entry into reset, once every object in the
|
|
|
|
group which is being reset has had its *enter* phase executed. At this point
|
|
|
|
devices can do actions that affect other objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. The **exit** phase is executed when the object leaves the reset state.
|
|
|
|
Actions affecting other objects are permitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As said in previous section, the interface maintains a count of reset. This
|
|
|
|
count is used to ensure phases are executed only when required. *enter* and
|
|
|
|
*hold* phases are executed only when asserting reset for the first time
|
|
|
|
(if an object is already in reset state when calling
|
|
|
|
``resettable_assert_reset()`` or ``resettable_reset()``, they are not
|
|
|
|
executed).
|
|
|
|
The *exit* phase is executed only when the last reset operation ends. Therefore
|
|
|
|
the object does not need to care how many of reset controllers it has and how
|
|
|
|
many of them have started a reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handling reset in a resettable object
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section documents the APIs that an implementation of a resettable object
|
|
|
|
must provide and what functions it has access to. It is intended for people
|
|
|
|
who want to implement or convert a class which has the resettable interface;
|
|
|
|
for example when specializing an existing device or bus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods to implement
|
|
|
|
....................
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Three methods should be defined or left empty. Each method corresponds to a
|
|
|
|
phase of the reset; they are name ``phases.enter()``, ``phases.hold()`` and
|
|
|
|
``phases.exit()``. They all take the object as parameter. The *enter* method
|
|
|
|
also take the reset type as second parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When extending an existing class, these methods may need to be extended too.
|
|
|
|
The ``resettable_class_set_parent_phases()`` class function may be used to
|
|
|
|
backup parent class methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here follows an example to implement reset for a Device which sets an IO while
|
|
|
|
in reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
static void mydev_reset_enter(Object *obj, ResetType type)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
MyDevClass *myclass = MYDEV_GET_CLASS(obj);
|
|
|
|
MyDevState *mydev = MYDEV(obj);
|
|
|
|
/* call parent class enter phase */
|
|
|
|
if (myclass->parent_phases.enter) {
|
|
|
|
myclass->parent_phases.enter(obj, type);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* initialize local state only */
|
|
|
|
mydev->var = 0;
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
static void mydev_reset_hold(Object *obj)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
MyDevClass *myclass = MYDEV_GET_CLASS(obj);
|
|
|
|
MyDevState *mydev = MYDEV(obj);
|
|
|
|
/* call parent class hold phase */
|
|
|
|
if (myclass->parent_phases.hold) {
|
|
|
|
myclass->parent_phases.hold(obj);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* set an IO */
|
|
|
|
qemu_set_irq(mydev->irq, 1);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
static void mydev_reset_exit(Object *obj)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
MyDevClass *myclass = MYDEV_GET_CLASS(obj);
|
|
|
|
MyDevState *mydev = MYDEV(obj);
|
|
|
|
/* call parent class exit phase */
|
|
|
|
if (myclass->parent_phases.exit) {
|
|
|
|
myclass->parent_phases.exit(obj);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* clear an IO */
|
|
|
|
qemu_set_irq(mydev->irq, 0);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typedef struct MyDevClass {
|
|
|
|
MyParentClass parent_class;
|
|
|
|
/* to store eventual parent reset methods */
|
|
|
|
ResettablePhases parent_phases;
|
|
|
|
} MyDevClass;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
static void mydev_class_init(ObjectClass *class, void *data)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
MyDevClass *myclass = MYDEV_CLASS(class);
|
|
|
|
ResettableClass *rc = RESETTABLE_CLASS(class);
|
2022-11-25 17:06:45 +03:00
|
|
|
resettable_class_set_parent_phases(rc,
|
|
|
|
mydev_reset_enter,
|
|
|
|
mydev_reset_hold,
|
|
|
|
mydev_reset_exit,
|
|
|
|
&myclass->parent_phases);
|
2020-01-30 19:02:05 +03:00
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the above example, we override all three phases. It is possible to override
|
|
|
|
only some of them by passing NULL instead of a function pointer to
|
2022-11-25 17:06:45 +03:00
|
|
|
``resettable_class_set_parent_phases()``. For example, the following will
|
2020-01-30 19:02:05 +03:00
|
|
|
only override the *enter* phase and leave *hold* and *exit* untouched::
|
|
|
|
|
2022-11-25 17:06:45 +03:00
|
|
|
resettable_class_set_parent_phases(rc, mydev_reset_enter, NULL, NULL,
|
|
|
|
&myclass->parent_phases);
|
2020-01-30 19:02:05 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to providing a trivial implementation of the hold and exit
|
|
|
|
phases which does nothing but call the parent class's implementation of the
|
|
|
|
phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Polling the reset state
|
|
|
|
.......................
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Resettable interface provides the ``resettable_is_in_reset()`` function.
|
|
|
|
This function returns true if the object parameter is currently under reset.
|
|
|
|
|
2022-10-20 17:27:49 +03:00
|
|
|
An object is under reset from the beginning of the *enter* phase (before
|
|
|
|
either its children or its own enter method is called) to the *exit*
|
|
|
|
phase. During *enter* and *hold* phase only, the function will return that the
|
|
|
|
object is in reset. The state is changed after the *exit* is propagated to
|
|
|
|
its children and just before calling the object's own *exit* method.
|
2020-01-30 19:02:05 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function may be used if the object behavior has to be adapted
|
|
|
|
while in reset state. For example if a device has an irq input,
|
|
|
|
it will probably need to ignore it while in reset; then it can for
|
|
|
|
example check the reset state at the beginning of the irq callback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that until migration of the reset state is supported, an object
|
|
|
|
should not be left in reset. So apart from being currently executing
|
|
|
|
one of the reset phases, the only cases when this function will return
|
|
|
|
true is if an external interaction (like changing an io) is made during
|
|
|
|
*hold* or *exit* phase of another object in the same reset group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Helpers ``device_is_in_reset()`` and ``bus_is_in_reset()`` are also provided
|
|
|
|
for devices and buses and should be preferred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Base class handling of reset
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section documents parts of the reset mechanism that you only need to know
|
|
|
|
about if you are extending it to work with a new base class other than
|
|
|
|
DeviceClass or BusClass, or maintaining the existing code in those classes. Most
|
|
|
|
people can ignore it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods to implement
|
|
|
|
....................
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two other methods that need to exist in a class implementing the
|
|
|
|
interface: ``get_state()`` and ``child_foreach()``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``get_state()`` is simple. *resettable* is an interface and, as a consequence,
|
|
|
|
does not have any class state structure. But in order to factorize the code, we
|
|
|
|
need one. This method must return a pointer to ``ResettableState`` structure.
|
|
|
|
The structure must be allocated by the base class; preferably it should be
|
|
|
|
located inside the object instance structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``child_foreach()`` is more complex. It should execute the given callback on
|
|
|
|
every reset child of the given resettable object. All children must be
|
|
|
|
resettable too. Additional parameters (a reset type and an opaque pointer) must
|
|
|
|
be passed to the callback too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In ``DeviceClass`` and ``BusClass`` the ``ResettableState`` is located
|
|
|
|
``DeviceState`` and ``BusState`` structure. ``child_foreach()`` is implemented
|
|
|
|
to follow the bus hierarchy; for a bus, it calls the function on every child
|
|
|
|
device; for a device, it calls the function on every bus child. When we reset
|
|
|
|
the main system bus, we reset the whole machine bus tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changing a resettable parent
|
|
|
|
............................
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One thing which should be taken care of by the base class is handling reset
|
|
|
|
hierarchy changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reset hierarchy is supposed to be static and built during machine creation.
|
|
|
|
But there are actually some exceptions. To cope with this, the resettable API
|
|
|
|
provides ``resettable_change_parent()``. This function allows to set, update or
|
|
|
|
remove the parent of a resettable object after machine creation is done. As
|
|
|
|
parameters, it takes the object being moved, the old parent if any and the new
|
|
|
|
parent if any.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function can be used at any time when not in a reset operation. During
|
|
|
|
a reset operation it must be used only in *hold* phase. Using it in *enter* or
|
|
|
|
*exit* phase is an error.
|
|
|
|
Also it should not be used during machine creation, although it is harmless to
|
|
|
|
do so: the function is a no-op as long as old and new parent are NULL or not
|
|
|
|
in reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is currently 2 cases where this function is used:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. *device hotplug*; it means a new device is introduced on a live bus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. *hot bus change*; it means an existing live device is added, moved or
|
|
|
|
removed in the bus hierarchy. At the moment, it occurs only in the raspi
|
|
|
|
machines for changing the sdbus used by sd card.

|
|
Reset of the complete system
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reset of the complete system is a little complicated. The typical
|
|
|
|
flow is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Code which wishes to reset the entire system does so by calling
|
|
|
|
``qemu_system_reset_request()``. This schedules a reset, but the
|
|
|
|
reset will happen asynchronously after the function returns.
|
|
|
|
That makes this safe to call from, for example, device models.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The function which is called to make the reset happen is
|
|
|
|
``qemu_system_reset()``. Generally only core system code should
|
|
|
|
call this directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. ``qemu_system_reset()`` calls the ``MachineClass::reset`` method of
|
|
|
|
the current machine, if it has one. That method must call
|
|
|
|
``qemu_devices_reset()``. If the machine has no reset method,
|
|
|
|
``qemu_system_reset()`` calls ``qemu_devices_reset()`` directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. ``qemu_devices_reset()`` performs a reset of the system, using
|
|
|
|
the three-phase mechanism listed above. It resets all objects
|
|
|
|
that were registered with it using ``qemu_register_resettable()``.
|
|
|
|
It also calls all the functions registered with it using
|
|
|
|
``qemu_register_reset()``. Those functions are called during the
|
|
|
|
"hold" phase of this reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The most important object that this reset resets is the
|
|
|
|
'sysbus' bus. The sysbus bus is the root of the qbus tree. This
|
|
|
|
means that all devices on the sysbus are reset, and all their
|
|
|
|
child buses, and all the devices on those child buses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Devices which are not on the qbus tree are *not* automatically
|
|
|
|
reset! (The most obvious example of this is CPU objects, but
|
|
|
|
anything that directly inherits from ``TYPE_OBJECT`` or ``TYPE_DEVICE``
|
|
|
|
rather than from ``TYPE_SYS_BUS_DEVICE`` or some other plugs-into-a-bus
|
|
|
|
type will be in this category.) You need to therefore arrange for these
|
|
|
|
to be reset in some other way (e.g. using ``qemu_register_resettable()``
|
|
|
|
or ``qemu_register_reset()``).
|
