KVM/MIPS Trap & Emulate Release Notes | ||
===================================== | ||
|
||
(1) KVM/MIPS should support MIPS32R2 and beyond. It has been tested on the following platforms: | ||
Malta Board with FPGA based 34K | ||
Sigma Designs TangoX board with a 24K based 8654 SoC. | ||
Malta Board with 74K @ 1GHz | ||
|
||
(2) Both Guest kernel and Guest Userspace execute in UM. | ||
Guest User address space: 0x00000000 -> 0x40000000 | ||
Guest Kernel Unmapped: 0x40000000 -> 0x60000000 | ||
Guest Kernel Mapped: 0x60000000 -> 0x80000000 | ||
|
||
Guest Usermode virtual memory is limited to 1GB. | ||
|
||
(2) 16K Page Sizes: Both Host Kernel and Guest Kernel should have the same page size, currently at least 16K. | ||
Note that due to cache aliasing issues, 4K page sizes are NOT supported. | ||
|
||
(3) No HugeTLB Support | ||
Both the host kernel and Guest kernel should have the page size set to 16K. | ||
This will be implemented in a future release. | ||
|
||
(4) KVM/MIPS does not have support for SMP Guests | ||
Linux-3.7-rc2 based SMP guest hangs due to the following code sequence in the generated TLB handlers: | ||
LL/TLBP/SC. Since the TLBP instruction causes a trap the reservation gets cleared | ||
when we ERET back to the guest. This causes the guest to hang in an infinite loop. | ||
This will be fixed in a future release. | ||
|
||
(5) Use Host FPU | ||
Currently KVM/MIPS emulates a 24K CPU without a FPU. | ||
This will be fixed in a future release |
