* vgsp: raise the GSP engine event interrupt so guest ISR drains events and ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson18 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wakes poll() waiters The emulated GSP only signalled the MSI-X eventfd when it queued a status record. The guest's primary ISR (nvidia_isr) decides pending from the CPU_INTR leaf registers, which we never set for the GSP stall vector, so it returned IRQ_NONE: IRQ 33 counted thousands of interrupts while the nvidia event thread sat idle and a client blocked in poll() on /dev/nvidia0 (a GLX swap) waited forever even though the event was already in the status queue. Mirror what a real GSP-RM does when it queues an event: - program RISC-V IRQMASK/IRQDEST for SWGEN0 (read-only to the guest; the GSP firmware owns them), - set SWGEN0 in the falcon IRQSTAT, - latch GSP stall vector 155 in the CPU interrupt tree (LEAF[4] bit 27, UVM_SHARED subtree 2 -> TOP[0] bit 2), - signal MSI-X. Raise it only for POST_EVENT records (replies are polled by the client). Verified on r1680: the guest now writes IRQSCLR SWGEN0, kgspService_TU102 drains events, and glxgears renders (was a hard hang).
* Open-IOV: initial public releaseOpen-IOV2026-09-23
Open-IOV virtualizes NVIDIA GPUs so that unmodified guest drivers run with real GPU functionality - CUDA first, 3D and video to follow - on unmodified hosts, without a proprietary vGPU license and without patching any driver, firmware or hypervisor. Core principle: emulate the interface, pass through the work. kernel/ open-iov-vfio.ko - host VFIO mdev driver: virtual GPU device (PCI config space, BAR shadows, MSI-X), GSP boot emulation, GSP-RM message-queue/RPC emulation, memory model (GPU-VA to guest-PA discovery) and the semaphore-completion service that advances guest UVM progress. userspace/ libiov.so management API and examples. tools/ guest diagnostics, firmware analysis wrappers, RM probes. scripts/ stack manager, VM harness, build/load/test automation. config/ hardware/version profiles (the portability surface). docs/ documentation tree - start at docs/README.md. wiki/ long-form firmware and protocol deep dives. Status: initialization works end to end for a stock 570.144 Linux guest on Turing (TU104): driver probe, nvidia-smi, the full GSP-RM control battery, object creation and the early CUDA/UVM start-up path. GPU work forwarding - the step that makes CUDA kernels execute on real hardware - is the active work item; see docs/04-implementation/01-known-knowns-and-unknowns.md.
