It is loosely based on the patches that allow the user to define the VM memory layout (RAM + MMIO) [2]. I've cherry-picked a handful of patches from that series, the rest I wrote from scratch since there have been several changes to the way guest memory is handled. I've chosen to focus on specifying the RAM layout with only one RAM bank and leave the rest for a later series because this was relatively easy to accomplish, while still being very useful. What this series does: for arm64, the user can now specify the base address for RAM: $ ./lkvm run -m1G@2G .. # Equivalent to ./lkvm run -m1024 The memory units are B (bytes), K (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G (gigabytes), T (terrabytes), P (petabytes). Lowercase is also valid. Want to put RAM at the top of the physical address range? Easy: $ ./lkvm run -m2G@1022G .. # Assumes the maximum is 40 bits of IPA There one limitation on the RAM base address: it must not overlap with the MMIO range that kvmtool uses for arm/arm64, which lives below 2GB. Why this is useful, in my opinion: 1. Testing how a payload handles different memory layouts without the need to hack kvmtool or find the hardware that implements the desired layout. 2. It can serve as a development tool for adding support for larger PA ranges for Linux and KVM (currently capped at 48 bits for 4k/16k pages), or other payloads. Summary of the series ====================== * The series starts with refactoring how kvm->cfg.ram_size is validated and used, followed by several cleanups in the arm and arm64 code. * Then patch #8 ("builtin_run: Allow standard size specifiers for memory") introduced the ability to specify the measurement unit for memory. I believe that typing the equivalent of 2TB in megabytes isn't appealing for anyone. * More cleanups in the arm/arm64 code follow, which are needed for patch #12 ("arm64: Allow the user to specify the RAM base address"). This is where the ability to specify the RAM base address is introduced. Testing ======= Same testing as before: - Build tested each patch for all architectures. - Ran an x86 kernel with and without setting the amount of RAM using the memory specifiers; tested that setting the RAM address results in an error. - Ran an arm64 kernel without setting the size, with setting the size and with setting the size and address; tried different addresses (2G, 3G, 256G); also tested that going below 2G or above the maximum IPA correctly results in an error. - Ran all arm64 kvm-unit-test tests with similar combinations of memory size and address (instead of 256G I used 128G, as that's where I/O lives for qemu and kvm-unit-tests maps that unconditionally as I/O). - Ran all 32bit arm tests on an arm64 host with various combinations of memory size and address (base address at 2G and 2.5G only due to a limitation in the way the tests are set up). Changelog ========= Since v3: * Gathered Reviewed-by tags, thank you! * Rebased on top of current HEAD, f44af23e3a62 ("virtio/pci: Factor MSI route creation"). * Dropped what was patch #2 ("sizes.h: Make all sizes 64bit") and opted instead to cast SZ_64M to u64 in get_ram_size() in what is now patch #2 ("builtin-run: Always use RAM size in bytes") (Andre). * Reworked the way the unit of measurement for memory is parsed (Andre). * Reworked the way the memory size is validated to specifically check for an invalid number (Andre). Since v2: * Patch #2 ("sizes.h: Make all sizes 64bit") is new (reported by Andre). * Casted nr_pages to u64 in host_ram_size() to avoid overflows when multiplied by page_size on 32-bit systems with more than 2GB of RAM (Andre). * Initialize ram_addr before parsing the command line options because the default was at address 0, which is invalid for arm64 (Andre). * Fix check for RAM top above 4GB for aarch32 guests. Since v1: * Rebased on top of current HEAD (commit 4639b72f61a3 ("arm64: Add --vcpu-affinity command line argument")). * Removed the last 3 patches that touched the --firmware-address command line argument. They weren't necessary for this series, I'll resend them after this series gets merged. * Moved patch #8 ("builtin_run: Allow standard size specifiers for memory") later in the series (was #6).
