[PATCH v3 15/16] python/qemu/machine: Allow to use other serial consoles than default 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

Currently the QEMU Python module limits the QEMUMachine class to
use the first serial console.

Some machines/guest might use another console than the first one as
the 'boot console'. For example the Raspberry Pi uses the second
(AUX) console.

To be able to use the Nth console as default, we simply need to
connect all the N - 1 consoles to the null chardev.

Add an index argument, so we can use a specific serial console as
default.

[PATCH NOTFORMERGE v3 16/16] tests/acceptance: Test U-boot on the Raspberry Pi 3 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

This is a proof-of-concept for the '-smp cores=1' feature which
restricts the cores brought online on reset.

The u-boot binary is old and from an untrusted source, but I
don't want to add the build machinery in QEMU, so it is enough
to demonstrate the feature works reliably.

By default this test is not run:

  $ avocado run -t machine:raspi3 tests/acceptance/
   (1/1) tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py:BootLinuxConsole.test_arm_raspi3_uboot: SKIP: untrusted code
  RESULTS    : PASS 0 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 1 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0

[PATCH v3 12/16] hw/arm/bcm2836: Rename enabled_cpus -> enabled_cores 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

We now use -smp cores=<n> to limit the number of cores powered
on reset. Rename the 'enabled_cpus' variable as 'enabled_cores'
to better match the new use. No functional changes.

[PATCH v3 10/16] hw/arm/raspi: Use AddressSpace when using arm_boot::write_secondary_boot 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

write_secondary_boot() is used in SMP configurations where the
CPU address space might not be the main System Bus.
The rom_add_blob_fixed_as() function allow us to specify an
address space. Use it to write each boot blob in the corresponding
CPU address space.

[PATCH v3 13/16] hw/arm/raspi: Make the board code modular 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

Our code currently create the raspi2 (based on the BCM2836)
and the raspi3 (on the BCM2837). Similarly, the raspi4 is
based on the BCM2838. To be able to add the new board,
make the current code more modular:

- Dynamically fills the 'board-rev' value
- Allow DRAM sizes different than 1 GiB

Rename the board model name as 'B' since this is the one
encoded in the 'board-rev' tag.

[PATCH v3 09/16] hw/arm/bcm2836: Create VideoCore address space in the SoC 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

Currently the VideoCore is created in the Peripheral container
as the 'GPU bus'. It is created there because the peripherals
using DMA use physical addresses from the VideoCore bus.
However the VideoCore is a GPU core placed at the same
hierarchical level than the ARM cores.

To match the datasheet design, create the VideoCore container
in the SoC, and link it to the peripheral container.

The VideoCore bus is 1GiB wide, accessible at 4 regions in
different cache configurations. Add the full mapping.

[PATCH v3 08/16] hw/arm/bcm2835_peripherals: Add const link property in realize() 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

The VideoCore GPU is indenpendant from the Peripheral block. In
the next commit, we will move its instantiation to the SoC block.
The "gpu-bus" object will not be accessible in init() but later
in realize(). As a preliminary step to keep the diff clearer, move
the const link property creation from init() to realize().

[PATCH v3 11/16] hw/arm/raspi: Use -smp cores=<N> option to restrict enabled cores 5 years ago

From Philippe Mathieu-Daudé to ~philmd/qemu

The abstract TYPE_BCM283X device provides a 'enabled-cpus' property
to restrict the number of cores powered on reset. This because on
real hardware the GPU is responsible of starting the cores and keep
them spinning until the Linux kernel is ready to use them.
When using the -kernel paramenter, QEMU does this by installing the
'raspi_smpboot' code when arm_boot_info::write_board_setup() is
called. This is a special feature to help the Linux kernel, and can
only be used with a Linux kernel.

Even if loaded with the -kernel option, U-boot is not Linux, thus
is not recognized as it and the raspi_smpboot code is not installed.

Upon introduction of this machine in commit 1df7d1f9303, the -smp <N>
option allowd to limit the number of cores powered on reset.
