Hello,
Please find the requested slides containing *rough* QEMU boot time figures attached.
I will further refine/update the slides with Firmware/Linux Guest related figures
and will share later.
Many thanks

Just a quick one on updated RMR spec publication. I see a revision E.a here,
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0049/latest/
This seems to have addressed all the things we discussed. Is this a final one officially?
If yes, I couldn't understand why the RMR node flags are at an offset 8, compared to
other nodes where the node specific data normally starts at offset 16.
Could you please check and let me know.
Thanks,
Shameer

I think hugepage is juste one symptom, and may not be the only way to
trigger the issue. On khugepaged collapse, a large invalidation is issued
which arch/arm64/include/asm/tlbflush.h transforms into a TLBI-by-ASID:
if ((!system_supports_tlb_range() &&
(end - start) >= (MAX_TLBI_OPS * stride)) ||
pages >= MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES) {
flush_tlb_mm(vma->vm_mm);
return;
}
With MAX_TLBI_OPS = 512 and stride = 0x1000 we hit the size limit of 2M,
which is the size of a hugepage. My guess is that on khugepage collapse we
issue a TLBI ASIDE1IS (rather than a TLBI VALE1IS), somehow that isn't
taken into account by the SMMU, and we end up with stale TLB entries
leading to memory corruption. If that's the case, I'd suggest keeping DVM
disabled on this platform (workaround 2), to force all SVA invalidation to
go through the command queue.
Thanks,
Jean
Hi,
I am looking for some suggestions about dvm [1].
we are testing sva with openssl, and dvm is enabled by default to
broadcast TLB maintenance.
And thp is enabled in system by default, a daemon khugepaged
(mm/khugepaged.c) is running
to collapse memory to huge page in a period of time.
And we found thp: khugepaged may cause issue to sva test case.
https://github.com/Linaro/uadk/issues/215
Two cases:
1. Heavy weight test case, async mode, 36+ jobs.
openssl speed -elapsed -engine uadk -async_jobs 36 rsa2048
Once collapse_huge_page happens.
hardware may hung in io page fault, there maybe huge numbers of page
fault keeps happening,
while usually only several io page fault reported.
2. With high thp scan frequence, low weight test case, sync mode, 1 job.
data may not correct.
sudo openssl speed -engine uadk -seconds 1 rsa2048
Doing 2048 bits public rsa's for 1s: RSA verify failure
Two workarounds:
1. disable thp
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
2. enable thp but add tlbi and ignore dvm.
Adding arm_smmu_tlb_inv_range in arm-smmu-v3-sva.c:
arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range.
It is called by khugepaged: collapse_huge_page->
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end
Looks dvm is not taking effect in some corner cases.
Questions
1. if khugepaged collapse the memory used by device, and then change
tlb, can dvm sync this tlb change to smmu.
2. Any possible dma is just using the memory, and collapsed by
khugepaged, can dvm handle this case?
Or khugepaged should not touch memory using by device, looks
khugepaged can not distinguish.
[1] DVM
Distributed Virtual Memory, a protocol for interconnect messages to provide
broadcast TLB maintenance operations (among other things).

I would be glad to have a follow-up with Jonathan on CXL expansion memory
on arm64 if possible, hopefully I can read up in the meanwhile to get up
to speed on the matter.
Lorenzo
Hi all,
We're going to have the LOD meeting in one week, currently we don't have
any topic proposed yet. Please let me know if you have something to discuss.
Regards,
Jammy
Hi All,
We're going to have the next meeting for Linux kernel discussion on Feb
22nd. This time we have two major topics below:
- Update for ACPI based Virtual CPU Hotplug - Lorenzo/Salil
- CXL overview and sync up - Lorenzo/Jon/Jonathan
As usual, it will be helpful to prepare several slides for each topic by
the owners.
By the way, we're planning to get the meeting recorded in the future,
please let us know if you have any concerns.

Ok. I am going to give it a shot based on my past interactions/involvement in this :)
Hi Folks,
(Sorry if you are not interested in this topic anymore, but you
are added to this thread based on my previous interactions and
the "CPU hotplug for AArch64" discussion here,
https://github.com/kata-containers/agent/issues/764
)
Following the KVM presentation, "Challenges in Supporting Virtual
CPU Hotplug n SoC Based Systems (like ARM64)"[1] by Salil Mehta,
there is a linaro-open-discussion[2] call setup on Monday, 22
February 2:00pm – 3:00pm GMT with ARM technical team
to find out ways to take this forward.
We would like to get some input from the Container/Kubernetes experts
on this as well. I know it is a bit late but please join if you can. Otherwise,
maybe we can plan to have a follow-up call at your convenience.
Please feel free to forward to anyone involved in this topic.
The call details can be find below or from [2].
Thanks,
Shameer

Hi Lorenzo,
As a follow-up to our last meeting, do we have any updates from your internal
discussions in regards to the support of ACPI based Virtual CPU Hotplug or its
"possible" specification? :)
Many thanks
Salil
