From 0b133e1435193afc4a3892cc81340117cc2ded1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akihiko Odaki Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2023 17:31:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] accel/kvm: Specify default IPA size for arm64 Before this change, the default KVM type, which is used for non-virt machine models, was 0. The kernel documentation says: > On arm64, the physical address size for a VM (IPA Size limit) is > limited to 40bits by default. The limit can be configured if the host > supports the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE. When supported, use > KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(IPA_Bits) to set the size in the machine type > identifier, where IPA_Bits is the maximum width of any physical > address used by the VM. The IPA_Bits is encoded in bits[7-0] of the > machine type identifier. > > e.g, to configure a guest to use 48bit physical address size:: > > vm_fd = ioctl(dev_fd, KVM_CREATE_VM, KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(48)); > > The requested size (IPA_Bits) must be: > > == ========================================================= > 0 Implies default size, 40bits (for backward compatibility) > N Implies N bits, where N is a positive integer such that, > 32 <= N <= Host_IPA_Limit > == ========================================================= > Host_IPA_Limit is the maximum possible value for IPA_Bits on the host > and is dependent on the CPU capability and the kernel configuration. > The limit can be retrieved using KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE of the > KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl() at run-time. > > Creation of the VM will fail if the requested IPA size (whether it is > implicit or explicit) is unsupported on the host. https://docs.kernel.org/virt/kvm/api.html#kvm-create-vm So if Host_IPA_Limit < 40, specifying 0 as the type will fail. This actually confused libvirt, which uses "none" machine model to probe the KVM availability, on M2 MacBook Air. Fix this by using Host_IPA_Limit as the default type when KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE is available.
