pci-test is a device used for testing low level IO
device implements up to three BARs: BAR0, BAR1 and BAR2.
Each of BAR 0+1 can be memory or IO. Guests must detect
BAR types and act accordingly.
BAR 0+1 size is up to 4K bytes each.
BAR 0+1 starts with the following header:
typedef struct PCITestDevHdr {
uint8_t test; <- write-only, starts a given test number
uint8_t width_type; <- read-only, type and width of access for a given test.
1,2,4 for byte,word or long write.
any other value if test not supported on this BAR
uint8_t pad0[2];
uint32_t offset; <- read-only, offset in this BAR for a given test
uint32_t data; <- read-only, data to use for a given test
uint32_t count; <- for debugging. number of writes detected.
uint8_t name[]; <- for debugging. 0-terminated ASCII string.
} PCITestDevHdr;
All registers are little endian.
device is expected to always implement tests 0 to N on each BAR, and to add new
tests with higher numbers. In this way a guest can scan test numbers until it
detects an access type that it does not support on this BAR, then stop.
BAR2 is a 64bit memory bar, without backing storage. It is disabled
by default and can be enabled using the membar=<size> property. This
can be used to test whether guests handle pci bars of a specific
(possibly quite large) size correctly.
