Subject: [PATCH v19 0/3] vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Add vfio pci variant module for grace hopper

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@...dia.com>

NVIDIA's upcoming Grace Hopper Superchip provides a PCI-like device
for the on-chip GPU that is the logical OS representation of the
internal proprietary chip-to-chip cache coherent interconnect.

The device is peculiar compared to a real PCI device in that whilst
there is a real 64b PCI BAR1 (comprising region 2 & region 3) on the
device, it is not used to access device memory once the faster
chip-to-chip interconnect is initialized (occurs at the time of host
system boot). The device memory is accessed instead using the
chip-to-chip interconnect that is exposed as a contiguous physically
addressable region on the host. Since the device memory is cache
coherent with the CPU, it can be mmaped into the user VMA with a
cacheable mapping and used like a regular RAM. The device memory is
not added to the host kernel, but mapped directly as this reduces
memory wastage due to struct pages.

There is also a requirement of a minimum reserved 1G uncached region
(termed as resmem) to support the Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature [1].
This is to work around a HW defect. Based on [2], the requisite properties
(uncached, unaligned access) can be achieved through a VM mapping (S1)
of NORMAL_NC and host (S2) mapping with MemAttr[2:0]=0b101. To provide
a different non-cached property to the reserved 1G region, it needs to
be carved out from the device memory and mapped as a separate region
in Qemu VMA with pgprot_writecombine(). pgprot_writecombine() sets
the Qemu VMA page properties (pgprot) as NORMAL_NC.

Provide a VFIO PCI variant driver that adapts the unique device memory
representation into a more standard PCI representation facing userspace.

The variant driver exposes these two regions - the non-cached reserved
(resmem) and the cached rest of the device memory (termed as usemem) as
separate VFIO 64b BAR regions. This is divergent from the baremetal
approach, where the device memory is exposed as a device memory region.
The decision for a different approach was taken in view of the fact that
it would necessiate additional code in Qemu to discover and insert those
regions in the VM IPA, along with the additional VM ACPI DSDT changes to
communiate the device memory region IPA to the VM workloads. Moreover,
this behavior would have to be added to a variety of emulators (beyond
top of tree Qemu) out there desiring grace hopper support.

Since the device implements 64-bit BAR0, the VFIO PCI variant driver
maps the uncached carved out region to the next available PCI BAR (i.e.
comprising of region 2 and 3). The cached device memory aperture is
assigned BAR region 4 and 5. Qemu will then naturally generate a PCI
device in the VM with the uncached aperture reported as BAR2 region,
the cacheable as BAR4. The variant driver provides emulation for these
fake BARs' PCI config space offset registers.

The hardware ensures that the system does not crash when the memory
is accessed with the memory enable turned off. It synthesis ~0 reads
and dropped writes on such access. So there is no need to support the
disablement/enablement of BAR through PCI_COMMAND config space register.

The memory layout on the host looks like the following:
               devmem (memlength)
|--------------------------------------------------|
|-------------cached------------------------|--NC--|
|                                           |
usemem.memphys                              resmem.memphys

PCI BARs need to be aligned to the power-of-2, but the actual memory on the
device may not. A read or write access to the physical address from the
last device PFN up to the next power-of-2 aligned physical address
results in reading ~0 and dropped writes. Note that the GPU device
driver [6] is capable of knowing the exact device memory size through
separate means. The device memory size is primarily kept in the system
ACPI tables for use by the VFIO PCI variant module.

Note that the usemem memory is added by the VM Nvidia device driver [5]
to the VM kernel as memblocks. Hence make the usable memory size memblock
(MEMBLK_SIZE) aligned. This is a hardwired ABI value between the GPU FW and
VFIO driver. The VM device driver make use of the same value for its
calculation to determine USEMEM size.

Currently there is no provision in KVM for a S2 mapping with
MemAttr[2:0]=0b101, but there is an ongoing effort to provide the same [3].
As previously mentioned, resmem is mapped pgprot_writecombine(), that
sets the Qemu VMA page properties (pgprot) as NORMAL_NC. Using the
proposed changes in [3] and [4], KVM marks the region with
MemAttr[2:0]=0b101 in S2.

If the device memory properties are not present, the driver registers the
vfio-pci-core function pointers. Since there are no ACPI memory properties
generated for the VM, the variant driver inside the VM will only use
the vfio-pci-core ops and hence try to map the BARs as non cached. This
is not a problem as the CPUs have FWB enabled which blocks the VM
mapping's ability to override the cacheability set by the host mapping.

This goes along with a qemu series [6] to provides the necessary
implementation of the Grace Hopper Superchip firmware specification so
that the guest operating system can see the correct ACPI modeling for
the coherent GPU device. Verified with the CUDA workload in the VM.
