feat(doc): add guest configuration to bao-classic config documentation #78

Diogo21Costa · 2023-12-07T18:09:59Z

PR Description

In this pull request, I'm adding content to the "Guest Configuration" section of the config documentation for the Bao hypervisor.

Guest Image Configuration
VM Configuration (Virtual Platform)
CPU Affinity (Mapping of Virtual to Physical CPUs)
Cache Coloring Setup

The focus here is to provide a comprehensive description for each field, offering detailed insights into their functionalities.

Do you have any suggestions or feedback concerning the content provided in the "Guest Configuration" section?

I think @DavidMCerdeira should also participate in these reviews...

josecm

I think we need a few iterations on this one. And possibly discuss an alternative structure where we go into details and have text explaining the features and functionalities, while here we only go field by field as you did.

The cpu affinities in the image are wrong. For example, it should be 0x1 or 0b0001 for VM 0.

Thanks, fixed in bae0e3311ec85b598de114a3e05260ba4d109151.

+The configuration of different guests is done by populating a struct called *vmconfig*, as follows:


Maybe here we could add a reference the vmlist referenced in the first part of the document, saying that each entry in that list is a vm_config struct...

Thanks, fixed in 923bbca5719fda58025bfc192b7461efa1d1a1c4.

This is not correct. I know that the structure used for the image is an anonymous structure, but maybe we can change this is to:

Suggested change

struct image;

struct vm_image image;

(both here and in the code)

+  space. This value can be defined using the macro VM_IMAGE_OFFSET(img_name);


Suggested change

- **load_addr** [mandatory] - corresponds to the ``image`` load address in the hypervisor address

space. This value can be defined using the macro VM_IMAGE_OFFSET(img_name);

- **load_addr** [mandatory] - corresponds to the ``image`` load address in physical memory/physical address space. This value can be defined using the macro VM_IMAGE_OFFSET(img_name);

Also, we need to explain that, if separately loaded is set to false, the hypervisor initially interprets this as the offset of the builtin image guest in its own image (hence, VM_IMAGE_OFFSET). At runtime, it fixes the value to be later interpreted as a physical address, by adding to it the address the hypervisor was loaded.

Thanks, fixed in 4b057cd.

Suggested change

- **size** [mandatory] - corresponds to the image size. This value can be defined using the macro

VM_IMAGE_SIZE(img_name);

- **size** [mandatory] - corresponds to the image size. For builtin images declared using `VM_IMAGE`, this value can be defined using the macro VM_IMAGE_SIZE(img_name);

Again, it is mandatory for base and size to be aligned to the architecture's smallest page size: in all architectures 4K for MMU systems and 64 bytes for MPU.

Thanls, fixed in 404de5a.

the cpu affinity will be as best as possible be followed, but it is not guaranteed.

-6. Architectural-Specific Configurations
+.. note::


Add a second note that we shouldn't add the gic to these devices.
A scenario would be where we want to give a large portion of the MMIO, and that MMIO range contains the GIC. In this case we need to split the MMIO range in two creating a hole for the gic.

Are you sure you want to change the base?
