Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 00/18] x86/hvm: I/O emulation cleanup and fix



Il 23/06/2015 12:39, Paul Durrant ha scritto:
This patch series re-works much of the code involved in emulation of port
and memory mapped I/O for HVM guests.

The code has become very convoluted and, at least by inspection, certain
emulations will apparently malfunction.

The series is broken down into 18 patches (which are also available in
my xenbits repo: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/pauldu/xen.git
on the emulation25 branch) as follows:

0001-x86-hvm-simplify-hvmemul_do_io.patch
0002-x86-hvm-remove-hvm_io_pending-check-in-hvmemul_do_io.patch
0003-x86-hvm-remove-extraneous-parameter-from-hvmtrace_io.patch
0004-x86-hvm-make-sure-translated-MMIO-reads-or-writes-fa.patch
0005-x86-hvm-remove-multiple-open-coded-chunking-loops.patch
0006-x86-hvm-re-name-struct-hvm_mmio_handler-to-hvm_mmio_.patch
0007-x86-hvm-unify-internal-portio-and-mmio-intercepts.patch
0008-x86-hvm-add-length-to-mmio-check-op.patch
0009-x86-hvm-unify-dpci-portio-intercept-with-standard-po.patch
0010-x86-hvm-unify-stdvga-mmio-intercept-with-standard-mm.patch
0011-x86-hvm-revert-82ed8716b-fix-direct-PCI-port-I-O-emu.patch
0012-x86-hvm-only-call-hvm_io_assist-from-hvm_wait_for_io.patch
0013-x86-hvm-split-I-O-completion-handling-from-state-mod.patch
0014-x86-hvm-remove-HVMIO_dispatched-I-O-state.patch
0015-x86-hvm-remove-hvm_io_state-enumeration.patch
0016-x86-hvm-use-ioreq_t-to-track-in-flight-state.patch
0017-x86-hvm-always-re-emulate-I-O-from-a-buffer.patch
0018-x86-hvm-track-large-memory-mapped-accesses-by-buffer.patch

v2:
  - Removed bogus assertion from patch 16
  - Re-worked patch 17 after basic testing of back-port onto XenServer

v3:
  - Addressed comments from Jan
  - Re-ordered series to bring a couple of more trivial patches to the
    front
  - Backport to XenServer (4.5) now passing automated tests
  - Tested on unstable with QEMU upstream and trad, with and without
    HAP (to force shadow emulation)



Thanks, I tested this serie emulation25 branch of your git.
I not found regression for now but trying qxl linux domUs that before caused qemu crash on sse2 operations now qemu didn't crashed but screen showed nothing and qemu process of domU with cpu at 100% and I'm unable to found details in dom0 about the problem, seems similar to xen-unstable of one year ago. Someone can tell me a way to know if sse2 istructions are now fully working (including operations with videoram) and/or how to debug this problem without nothing that crashes where take datas with gdb?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
