From 93de2a6a4b91b72607136dd656edf03fb399d27f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:37:21 -0700 Subject: KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

It allows drivers to report +the state of external connectors and provides a standardized interface for +userspace to query and monitor these states. + +Extcon is particularly useful in modern devices with multiple connectivity +options, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It helps manage various +types of connectors, including: + +1. USB connectors (e.g., USB-C, micro-USB) +2. Charging ports (e.g., fast charging, wireless charging) +3. Audio jacks (e.g., 3.5mm headphone jack) +4. Video outputs (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort) +5. Docking stations + +Real-world examples: + +1. Smartphone USB-C port: + A single USB-C port on a smartphone can serve multiple functions. Extcon + can manage the different states of this port, such as: + - USB data connection + - Charging (various types like fast charging, USB Power Delivery) + - Audio output (USB-C headphones) + - Video output (USB-C to HDMI adapter) + +2. Laptop docking station: + When a laptop is connected to a docking station, multiple connections are + made simultaneously. Extcon can handle the state changes for: + - Power delivery + - External displays + - USB hub connections + - Ethernet connectivity + +3. Wireless charging pad: + Extcon can manage the state of a wireless charging connection, allowing + the system to respond appropriately when a device is placed on or removed + from the charging pad. + +4. Smart TV HDMI ports: + In a smart TV, Extcon can manage multiple HDMI ports, detecting when + devices are connected or disconnected, and potentially identifying the + type of device (e.g., gaming console, set-top box, Blu-ray player). + +The Extcon framework simplifies the development of drivers for these complex +scenarios by providing a standardized way to report and query connector +states, handle mutually exclusive connections, and manage connector +properties. This allows for more robust and flexible handling of external +connections in modern devices. + +Key Components +============== + +extcon_dev +---------- + +The core structure representing an Extcon device:: + + struct extcon_dev { + const char *name; + const unsigned int *supported_cable; + const u32 *mutually_exclusive; + + /* Internal data */ + struct device dev; + unsigned int id; + struct raw_notifier_head nh_all; + struct raw_notifier_head *nh; + struct list_head entry; + int max_supported; + spinlock_t lock; + u32 state; + + /* Sysfs related */ + struct device_type extcon_dev_type; + struct extcon_cable *cables; + struct attribute_group attr_g_muex; + struct attribute **attrs_muex; + struct device_attribute *d_attrs_muex; + }; + +Key fields: + +- ``name``: Name of the Extcon device +- ``supported_cable``: Array of supported cable types +- ``mutually_exclusive``: Array defining mutually exclusive cable types + This field is crucial for enforcing hardware constraints. It's an array of + 32-bit unsigned integers, where each element represents a set of mutually + exclusive cable types. The array should be terminated with a 0. + + For example: + + :: + + static const u32 mutually_exclusive[] = { + BIT(0) | BIT(1), /* Cable 0 and 1 are mutually exclusive */ + BIT(2) | BIT(3) | BIT(4), /* Cables 2, 3, and 4 are mutually exclusive */ + 0 /* Terminator */ + }; + + In this example, cables 0 and 1 cannot be connected simultaneously, and + cables 2, 3, and 4 are also mutually exclusive. This is useful for + scenarios like a single port that can either be USB or HDMI, but not both + at the same time. + + The Extcon core uses this information to prevent invalid combinations of + cable states, ensuring that the reported states are always consistent + with the hardware capabilities. + +- ``state``: Current state of the device (bitmap of connected cables) + + +extcon_cable +------------ + +Represents an individual cable managed by an Extcon device:: + + struct extcon_cable { + struct extcon_dev *edev; + int cable_index; + struct attribute_group attr_g; + struct device_attribute attr_name; + struct device_attribute attr_state; + struct attribute *attrs[3]; + union extcon_property_value usb_propval[EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT]; + union extcon_property_value chg_propval[EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT]; + union extcon_property_value jack_propval[EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT]; + union extcon_property_value disp_propval[EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT]; + DECLARE_BITMAP(usb_bits, EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT); + DECLARE_BITMAP(chg_bits, EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT); + DECLARE_BITMAP(jack_bits, EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT); + DECLARE_BITMAP(disp_bits, EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT); + }; + +Core Functions +============== + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/extcon/extcon.c + :identifiers: extcon_get_state + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/extcon/extcon.c + :identifiers: extcon_set_state + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/extcon/extcon.c + :identifiers: extcon_set_state_sync + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/extcon/extcon.c + :identifiers: extcon_get_property + + +Sysfs Interface +=============== + +Extcon devices expose the following sysfs attributes: + +- ``name``: Name of the Extcon device +- ``state``: Current state of all supported cables +- ``cable.N/name``: Name of the Nth supported cable +- ``cable.N/state``: State of the Nth supported cable + +Usage Example +------------- + +.. code-block:: c + + #include + #include + #include + + struct my_extcon_data { + struct extcon_dev *edev; + struct device *dev; + }; + + static const unsigned int my_extcon_cable[] = { + EXTCON_USB, + EXTCON_USB_HOST, + EXTCON_NONE, + }; + + static int my_extcon_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct my_extcon_data *data; + int ret; + + data = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*data), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!data) + return -ENOMEM; + + data->dev = &pdev->dev; + + /* Initialize extcon device */ + data->edev = devm_extcon_dev_allocate(data->dev, my_extcon_cable); + if (IS_ERR(data->edev)) { + dev_err(data->dev, "Failed to allocate extcon device\n"); + return PTR_ERR(data->edev); + } + + /* Register extcon device */ + ret = devm_extcon_dev_register(data->dev, data->edev); + if (ret < 0) { + dev_err(data->dev, "Failed to register extcon device\n"); + return ret; + } + + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, data); + + /* Example: Set initial state */ + extcon_set_state_sync(data->edev, EXTCON_USB, true); + + dev_info(data->dev, "My extcon driver probed successfully\n"); + return 0; + } + + static int my_extcon_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct my_extcon_data *data = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + + /* Example: Clear state before removal */ + extcon_set_state_sync(data->edev, EXTCON_USB, false); + + dev_info(data->dev, "My extcon driver removed\n"); + return 0; + } + + static const struct of_device_id my_extcon_of_match[] = { + { .compatible = "my,extcon-device", }, + { }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, my_extcon_of_match); + + static struct platform_driver my_extcon_driver = { + .driver = { + .name = "my-extcon-driver", + .of_match_table = my_extcon_of_match, + }, + .probe = my_extcon_probe, + .remove = my_extcon_remove, + }; + + module_platform_driver(my_extcon_driver); + +This example demonstrates: +--------------------------- + +- Defining supported cable types (USB and USB Host in this case). +- Allocating and registering an extcon device. +- Setting an initial state for a cable (USB connected in this example). +- Clearing the state when the driver is removed. -- cgit v1.3.1
