This adds support for Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option defined by
the SPAPR specification which allows to have additional DMA window(s)
The "ddw" property is enabled by default on a PHB but for compatibility
the pseries-2.6 machine and older disable it.
This also creates a single DMA window for the older machines to
maintain backward migration.
This implements DDW for PHB with emulated and VFIO devices. The host
kernel support is required. The advertised IOMMU page sizes are 4K and
64K; 16M pages are supported but not advertised by default, in order to
enable them, the user has to specify "pgsz" property for PHB and
enable huge pages for RAM.
The existing linux guests try creating one additional huge DMA window
with 64K or 16MB pages and map the entire guest RAM to. If succeeded,
the guest switches to dma_direct_ops and never calls TCE hypercalls
(H_PUT_TCE,...) again. This enables VFIO devices to use the entire RAM
and not waste time on map/unmap later. This adds a "dma64_win_addr"
property which is a bus address for the 64bit window and by default
set to 0x800.0000.0000.0000 as this is what the modern POWER8 hardware
uses and this allows having emulated and VFIO devices on the same bus.
This adds 4 RTAS handlers:
* ibm,query-pe-dma-window
* ibm,create-pe-dma-window
* ibm,remove-pe-dma-window
* ibm,reset-pe-dma-window
These are registered from type_init() callback.
These RTAS handlers are implemented in a separate file to avoid polluting
spapr_iommu.c with PCI.
This changes sPAPRPHBState::dma_liobn to an array to allow 2 LIOBNs
and updates all references to dma_liobn. However this does not add
64bit LIOBN to the migration stream as in fact even 32bit LIOBN is
rather pointless there (as it is a PHB property and the management
software can/should pass LIOBNs via CLI) but we keep it for the backward
migration support.

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

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
