QEMU With E2K User Support
0ddbd05362
ePAPR defines "hcall-instructions" device-tree property which contains code to call hypercalls in ePAPR paravirtualized guests. In general pseries guests won't use this property, instead using the PAPR defined hypercall interface. However, this property has been re-used to implement a hack to allow PR KVM to run (slightly modified) guests in some situations where it otherwise wouldn't be able to (because the system's L0 hypervisor doesn't forward the PAPR hypercalls to the PR KVM kernel). Hence, this property is always present in the device tree for pseries guests. All KVM guests use it at least to read features via the KVM_HC_FEATURES hypercall. The property is populated by the code returned from the KVM's KVM_PPC_GET_PVINFO ioctl; if not implemented in the KVM, QEMU supplies code which will fail all hypercall attempts. If QEMU does not create the property, and the guest kernel is compiled with CONFIG_EPAPR_PARAVIRT (which is normally the case), there is exactly the same stub at @epapr_hypercall_start already. Rather than maintaining this fairly useless stub implementation, it makes more sense not to create the property in the device tree in the first place if the host kernel does not implement it. This changes kvmppc_get_hypercall() to return 1 if the host kernel does not implement KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_PVINFO. The caller can use it to decide on whether to create the property or not. This changes the pseries machine to not create the property if KVM does not implement KVM_PPC_GET_PVINFO. In practice this means that from now on the property will not be created if either HV KVM or TCG is used.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Complete details of the process for building and configuring QEMU for
all supported host platforms can be found in the qemu-tech.html file.
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
