Thank you for your guidance!
I rethought and and modified my previous proposal:
Let me show the command examples firstly:
* Add a single event:
(x86) -object kvm-pmu-event,id=e0,action=allow,format=x86-default,\
select=0x3c,umask=0x00
(arm or general) -object kvm-pmu-event,id=e1,action=deny,\
format=raw,code=0x01
* Add a counter bitmap:
(x86) -object kvm-pmu-counter,id=cnt,action=allow,type=x86-fixed,\
bitmap=0xffff0000
* Add an event list (must use Json syntax format):
(x86) -object '{"qom-type":"kvm-pmu-event-list","id"="filter0","action"="allow","format"="x86-default","events=[{"select"=0x3c,"umask"=0x00},{"select"=0x2e,"umask"=0x4f}]'
(arm) -object '{"qom-type":"kvm-pmu-event-list","id"="filter1","action"="allow","format"="raw","events"=[{"code"=0x01},{"code"=0x02}]'
The specific JSON definitions are as follows (IIUC, this is "in terms of
a QAPI definition", right? ;-)):
* Define PMU event and counter bitmap with JSON format:
- basic filter action:
{ 'enum': 'KVMPMUFilterAction',
'prefix': 'KVM_PMU_FILTER_ACTION',
'data': ['deny', 'allow' ] }
- PMU counter:
{ 'enum': 'KVMPMUCounterType',
'prefix': 'KVM_PMU_COUNTER_TYPE',
'data': [ 'x86-fixed' ] }
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMUX86FixedCounter',
'data': { 'bitmap': 'uint32' } }
- PMU events (total 3 formats):
# 3 encoding formats: "raw" is compatible with shaoqin's ARM format as
# well as the x86 raw format, and could support other architectures in
# the future.
{ 'enum': 'KVMPMUEventEncodeFmt',
'prefix': 'KVM_PMU_EVENT_ENCODE_FMT',
'data': ['raw', 'x86-default', 'x86-masked-entry' ] }
# A general format.
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMURawEvent',
'data': { 'code': 'uint64' } }
# x86-specific
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMUX86DefalutEvent',
'data': { 'select': 'uint16',
'umask': 'uint16' } }
# another x86 specific
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMUX86MaskedEntry',
'data': { 'select': 'uint16',
'match': 'uint8',
'mask': 'uint8',
'exclude': 'bool' } }
# And their list wrappers:
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMURawEventList',
'data': { 'events': ['KVMPMURawEvent'] } }
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMUX86DefalutEventList',
'data': { 'events': ['KVMPMUX86DefalutEvent'] } }
{ 'struct': 'KVMPMUX86MaskedEntryList',
'data': { 'events': ['KVMPMUX86MaskedEntryList'] } }
Based on the above basic structs, we could provide 3 new more qom-types:
- 'kvm-pmu-counter': 'KVMPMUFilterCounter'
# This is a single object option to configure PMU counter
# bitmap filter.
{ 'union': 'KVMPMUFilterCounter',
'base': { 'action': 'KVMPMUFilterAction',
'type': 'KVMPMUCounterType' },
'discriminator': 'type',
'data': { 'x86-fixed': 'KVMPMUX86FixedCounter' } }
- 'kvm-pmu-counter': 'KVMPMUFilterCounter'
# This option is used to configure a single PMU event for
# PMU filter.
{ 'union': 'KVMPMUFilterEvent',
'base': { 'action': 'KVMPMUFilterAction',
'format': 'KVMPMUEventEncodeFmt' },
'discriminator': 'format',
'data': { 'raw': 'KVMPMURawEvent',
'x86-default': 'KVMPMUX86DefalutEvent',
'x86-masked-entry': 'KVMPMUX86MaskedEntry' } }
- 'kvm-pmu-event-list': 'KVMPMUFilterEventList'
# Used to configure multiple events.
{ 'union': 'KVMPMUFilterEventList',
'base': { 'action': 'KVMPMUFilterAction',
'format': 'KVMPMUEventEncodeFmt' },
'discriminator': 'format',
'data': { 'raw': 'KVMPMURawEventList',
'x86-default': 'KVMPMUX86DefalutEventList',
'x86-masked-entry': 'KVMPMUX86MaskedEntryList' } }
Compared to Shaoqin's original format, kvm-pmu-event-list is not able to
enumerate events continuously (similar to 0x00-0x30 before), and now
user must enumerate events one by one individually.
What do you think about the above 3 new commands?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Zhao
