[RFC 2/2] KVM: arm64: Add write-combine support for stage-2 entries
From: Shanker Donthineni
Date: Thu Apr 29 2021 - 12:29:58 EST
In the current implementation, the device memory is always mapped as
DEVICE_nGnRE in stage-2. In the host kernel, device drivers have
flexibility whether to choose a memory-type device or write-combine
(Non-cacheable) depends on the use case. PCI specification has a
prefetchable BAR concept where multiple writes can be combined and
no side effects on reads. It provides huge performance improvement
and also allows unaligned access.
NVIDIA GPU PCIe devices have 3 BAR regions. Two regions are mapped to
video/compute memory and marked as prefetchable. The GPU driver takes
advantage of the write-combine feature for higher performance. The
same driver has no issues in the host kernel but crashes inside the
virtual machine because of unaligned accesses.
This patch finds the PTE attributes for device memory in VMA. It
updates the stage-2 attribute to NORMAL_NC for WC regions and
the default type DEVICE_nGnRE for non-WC regions.
