KVM on ARM refuses to decode load/store instructions used to perform
I/O to emulated devices, and instead relies on the exception syndrome
information to describe the operand register, access size, etc.
This is only possible for instructions that have a single input/output
register (as opposed to ones that increment the offset register, or
load/store pair instructions, etc). Otherwise, QEMU crashes with the
following error

  error: kvm run failed Function not implemented
  R00=01010101 R01=00000008 R02=00000048 R03=08000820
  R04=00000120 R05=7faaa0e0 R06=7faaa0dc R07=7faaa0e8
  R08=7faaa0ec R09=7faaa088 R10=000000ff R11=00000080
  R12=ff000000 R13=7fccfe08 R14=7faa835f R15=7faa887c
  PSR=800001f3 N--- T svc32
  QEMU: Terminated

and KVM produces a warning such as the following in the kernel log

  kvm [17646]: load/store instruction decoding not implemented

GCC with LTO enabled will emit such instructions for Mmio[Read|Write]
invocations performed in a loop, so we need to disable LTO for the
IoLib library to ensure that the emitted instructions are suitable for
emulated I/O under KVM

Heh :) See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1576593>.

- Is there perhaps a finer-grained GCC option for this? (This is a
rhetorical question; I know you must have checked.)

- Is this only with gcc-8?

- Should we do the same for the ArmVirtXen and ArmVirtQemuKernel
platforms? In turn, patch "ArmVirt.dsc.inc" instead? (BTW I have no clue
about Xen's emulation of the instructions at hand.)

In general, I'm fine with the patch. According to [1] [2], this appears
to be the right syntax for the goal.

Thanks!
Laszlo

I don't think so. Any GCC/GNU-ld combo that supports LTO is
susceptible to this afaik. Even worse, I don't think this is limited
to 32-bit ARM either, even if we've never managed to hit it.

This is a fix I would like to apply with moderation, so that we get a
feeling for which platforms need it and which don't.

ArmVirtQemuKernel is primarily used in TCG mode, as far as I am aware,
by the OP-TEE guys for instance, who use secure world emulation.

Xen doesn't really use I/O emulation on ARM (everything is
paravirtualized) so I don't think it is affected.

Can you please work some of the above answers (as you see fit) into the
commit message, when you push the patch?
