Re: [PATCH v18 00/30] Add KVM LoongArch support

[bibo mao]

Hi Paolo,

>From Feb until now, we post kvm for LoongArch support patch for version 18,
and kvm seltests patch is submitted also, it passes run on real hardware.

do you think is it ready for Linux v6.6?

> 
> Changes for v5:

> etc.
> 3. Improve the kvm_switch_to_guest function in switch.S, remove the

> 
> Changes for v4:
> 1. Add a csr_need_update flag in _vcpu_put, as most csr registers keep

> That is to say all of csrs should update after vcpu enter guest, as for
> set_csr_ioctl, we have written soft csr to keep consistent with hardware.
> 2. Improve get/set_csr_ioctl interface, we set SW or HW or INVALID flag
> for all csrs according to it's features when kvm init. In get/set_csr_ioctl,
> if csr is HW, we use gcsrrd/ gcsrwr instruction to access it, else if csr is
> SW, we use software to emulate it, and others return false.
> 3. Add set_hw_gcsr function in csr_ops.S, and it is used in set_csr_ioctl.
> We have splited hw gcsr into three parts, so we can calculate the code offset
> by gcsrid and jump here to run the gcsrwr instruction. We use this function to
> make the code easier and avoid to use the previous SET_HW_GCSR(XXX) interface.
> 4. Improve kvm mmu functions, such as flush page table and make clean page table
> interface.
> 
> Changes for v3:
> 1. Remove the vpid array list in kvm_vcpu_arch and use a vpid variable here,
> because a vpid will never be recycled if a vCPU migrates from physical CPU A
> to B and back to A.
> 2. Make some constant variables in kvm_context to global such as vpid_mask,
> guest_eentry, enter_guest, etc.
> 3. Add some new tracepoints, such as kvm_trace_idle, kvm_trace_cache,
> kvm_trace_gspr, etc.
> 4. There are some duplicate codes in kvm_handle_exit and kvm_vcpu_run,
> so we move it to a new function kvm_pre_enter_guest.
> 5. Change the RESUME_HOST, RESUME_GUEST value, return 1 for resume guest
> and "<= 0" for resume host.
> 6. Fcsr and fpu registers are saved/restored together.
> 
> Changes for v2:
> 1. Seprate the original patch-01 and patch-03 into small patches, and the

> etc.
> 2. Remove the original KVM_{GET,SET}_CSRS ioctl in the kvm uapi header,
