Using partition mode on UP2
###########################
ACRN hypervisor supports partition mode, in which the User OS running in a
privileged VM can bypass the ACRN hypervisor and directly access isolated
PCI devices. This tutorial provides step by step instructions on how to set up
the ACRN hypervisor partition mode on
`UP2 <https://up-board.org/upsquared/specifications/>`_ boards running two
privileged VMs as shown in :numref:`two-priv-vms`:

Two privileged VMs running in partition mode
Prerequisites
*************
In this tutorial two Linux privileged VMs are started by the ACRN hypervisor.
To set up the Linux root filesystems for each VM, follow the Clear Linux OS
`bare metal installation guide
<https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/bare-metal-install#bare-metal-install-server>`_
to install Clear Linux OS on a **SATA disk** and a **USB flash disk** prior the setup,
as the two privileged VMs will mount the root filesystems via the SATA controller
and the USB controller respectively.
This tutorial is verified on a tagged ACRN v0.6.
Build kernel and modules for partition mode UOS
***********************************************
#. On your development workstation, clone the ACRN kernel source tree, and
build the Linux kernel image that will be used to boot the privileged VMs:
.. code-block:: none
$ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-kernel.git
Cloning into 'acrn-kernel'...
...
$ cd acrn-kernel
$ cp kernel_config_uos .config
$ make olddefconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --olddefconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make
$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out/
The last two commands built the bootable kernel image ``arch/x86/boot/bzImage``,
and the loadable kernel modules under the ``./out/`` folder. Copy these files
to a removable disk for installing on the UP2 board later.
#. Current ACRN partition mode implementation requires a multi-boot capable
bootloader to boot both ACRN hypervisor and the bootable kernel image
built from the previous step. You could install Ubuntu OS to the UP2 board
by following `this Ubuntu tutorial
<https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop>`_.
The Ubuntu installer creates 3 disk partitions on the on-board eMMC memory.
By default, the GRUB bootloader is installed on the ESP (EFI System Partition)
partition, which will be used to bootstrap the partition mode ACRN hypervisor.
#. After installing the Ubuntu OS, power off the UP2 board, attach the SATA disk
and the USB flash disk to the board. Power on the board and make sure
it boots the Ubuntu OS from the eMMC, then copy the loadable kernel modules
built in Step 1 to the ``/lib/modules/`` folder on both the mounted SATA
disk and USB disk. For example, assuming the SATA disk and USB flash disk
are assigned to ``/dev/sda`` and ``/dev/sdb`` respectively, the following
commands set up the partition mode loadable kernel modules onto the root
filesystems to be loaded by the privileged VMs:
.. code-block:: none
# Mount the Clear Linux OS root filesystem on the SATA disk
$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
$ sudo cp -r <kernel-modules-folder-built-in-step1>/lib/modules/* /mnt/lib/modules
$ sudo umount /mnt
# Mount the Clear Linux OS root filesystem on the USB flash disk
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt
$ sudo cp -r <path-to-kernel-module-folder-built-in-step1>/lib/modules/* /mnt/lib/modules
$ sudo umount /mnt
#. Copy the bootable kernel image to the ``/boot`` directory:
.. code-block:: none
$ sudo cp <path-to-kernel-image-built-in-step1>/bzImage /boot/
Enable partition mode in ACRN hypervisor
****************************************
#. Before building the ACRN hypervisor, you need to figure out the I/O address
of the serial port, and the PCI BDF addresses of the SATA controller and
the USB controller on your UP2 board.
Enter the following command to get the I/O addresses of the serial ports.
UP2 boards support two serial ports. The addresses from the command
output represent the I/O addresses of the serial port of the 10-pin side
connector and the 40-pin expansion header respectively. You will need to
connect the serial port to the development host, in order to access
the ACRN serial console to switch between privileged VMs.

$ sudo lspci | grep UART

00:18.1 . Series HSUART Controller #2 (rev 0b)
The second with ``00:18.1`` is the one on the 40-pin expansion connector.
The following command prints detailed information about all PCI buses
and devices in the system.

#. Clone the ACRN source code and configure the build options with
``make menuconfig`` command:
.. code-block:: none
$ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor.git
$ cd acrn-hypervisor
$ git checkout v0.6
$ cd hypervisor
$ make menuconfig
Set the ``Hypervisor mode`` option to ``Partition mode``, and depending
on the serial port you are using, enter its BDF to the configuration
menu as shown in this screenshot. Finally, save the configuration.
.. figure:: images/menuconfig-partition-mode.png
:align: center
.. note::
Refer to the :ref:`getting-started-building` for more information on how
to install all the ACRN build dependencies.
#. Prepare VM configurations for UP2 partition mode
The BOARD specific VM configurations should be under the folder:
``hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/$(CONFIG_BOARD)/``.
For UP2 board, we can simply copy configurations of apl-mrb to the up2 folder:
.. code-block:: none
$ cp hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/apl-mrb/* hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/up2/
#. Configure the partition mode configuration arguments
The partition mode configuration information is located in header file
``hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/up2/partition_config.h`` and configured by
``VMx_CONFIG_XXXX`` MACROs (where x is the VM id number and XXXX are arguments).
The most frequent configure items for end user are:
``VMx_CONFIG_NAME``: the VMx name string, must less than 32 bytes;
``VMx_CONFIG_PCPU_BITMAP``: assign physical CPUs to VMx by MACRO of ``PLUG_CPU(cpu_id)``;
Below is an example of partition mode configuration for UP2:
.. code-block:: none

#define VM0_CONFIG_PCI_PTDEV_NUM 2U
#define VM1_CONFIG_PCI_PTDEV_NUM 3U
#. Configure the PCI device info for each VM
PCI devices that are available to the privileged VMs
are hardcoded in the source file ``hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/up2/pt_dev.c``.
You need to review and modify the ``vm0_pci_devs`` and ``vm1_pci_devs``
structures in the source code to match the PCI BDF addresses of the SATA
controller and the USB controller noted in step 1:
.. code-block:: none
:emphasize-lines: 5,9,17,21,25
:caption: hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/up2/pt_dev.c
...
struct acrn_vm_pci_dev_config vm0_pci_devs[2] = {
{
.vbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x00U, .f = 0x00U},
.pbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x00U, .f = 0x00U},
},
{
.vbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x01U, .f = 0x00U},
.pbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x12U, .f = 0x00U},
},
};
...
struct acrn_vm_pci_dev_config vm1_pci_devs[3] = {
{
.vbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x00U, .f = 0x00U},
.pbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x00U, .f = 0x00U},
},
{
.vbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x01U, .f = 0x00U},
.pbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x15U, .f = 0x00U},
},
{
.vbdf.bits = {.b = 0x00U, .d = 0x02U, .f = 0x00U},
.pbdf.bits = {.b = 0x02U, .d = 0x00U, .f = 0x00U},
},
};
...
.. note::
The first BDF(0:0.0) is for host bridge;
``vbdf.bits`` in each VM could be any BDF if it is valid and no confliction.
#. Optionally, configure the ``VMx_CONFIG_OS_BOOTARGS`` kernel command line arguments
The kernel command line arguments used to boot the privileged VMs are
hardcoded as ``/dev/sda3`` to meet the Clear Linux OS automatic installation.
In case you plan to use your customized root
filesystem, you may optionally edit the ``root=`` parameter specified
in the ``VMx_CONFIG_OS_BOOTARGS`` MACRO, to instruct the Linux kernel to
mount the right disk partition:

#define VM0_CONFIG_TYPE PRE_LAUNCHED_VM
#define VM0_CONFIG_PCPU_BITMAP (PLUG_CPU(0) | PLUG_CPU(2))
#define VM0_CONFIG_FLAGS IO_COMPLETION_POLLING
#define VM0_CONFIG_MEM_START_HPA 0x100000000UL
#define VM0_CONFIG_MEM_SIZE 0x20000000UL
#define VM0_CONFIG_OS_NAME "ClearLinux 26600"
#define VM0_CONFIG_OS_BOOTARGS "root=/dev/sda3 rw rootwait noxsave maxcpus=2 nohpet console=hvc0 \
console=ttyS2 no_timer_check ignore_loglevel log_buf_len=16M \
consoleblank=0 tsc=reliable xapic_phys"
.. note::
The root device for VM1 is also ``/dev/sda3`` since the USB
controller is the only one seen in that VM.
#. Build the ACRN hypervisor and copy the artifact ``acrn.32.out`` to the
``/boot`` directory:
.. code-block:: none
$ make BOARD=apl-up2
...
$ sudo cp build/acrn.32.out /boot
#. Modify the ``/etc/grub.d/40_custom`` file to create a new GRUB entry
that will multi-boot the ACRN hypervisor and the UOS kernel image
Append the following configuration to the ``/etc/grub.d/40_custom`` file:
.. code-block:: none
menuentry 'ACRN Partition Mode' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-e23c76ae-b06d-4a6e-ad42-46b8eedfd7d3' {
recordfail
load_video
gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
echo 'Loading partition mode hypervisor ...'
multiboot /boot/acrn.32.out
module /boot/bzImage XXXXXX
}
.. note::
The multiboot module param ``XXXXXX`` is the bzImage tag and must
exactly match the ``kernel_mod_tag`` configured in file
``hypervisor/scenarios/logical_partition/vm_configurations.c``.
Modify the ``/etc/default/grub`` file as follows to make the GRUB menu visible
when booting:
.. code-block:: none
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
Re-generate the GRUB configuration file and reboot the UP2 board. Select
the ``ACRN Partition Mode`` entry to boot the partition mode of the ACRN
hypervisor, the hypervisor will start the privileged VMs automatically.
.. code-block:: none
$ sudo update-grub

Connect the serial port on the UP2 board to the development workstation.
If you set the BDF of the serial port right while building the ACRN hypervisor,
you should see the output from the ACRN serial console as below.
You could then log in to the privileged VMs by ``vm_console`` command,
and press :kbd:`CTRL+Space` keys to return to the ACRN serial console.
