* gsp_sema_service: add content rescue for unmapped push-buffer pool VAsArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | - Add expected_sem_payload tracking to svc_channel for CE channels - Implement svc_rescue_push_page() to scan guest RAM for push with expected semaphore release when VA translation fails - Add svc_init_expected_payload() to initialize expected payload from pool - Add rate-limited logging of distinct stalled VAs (svc_log_stalled_va) - Advance expected_sem_payload on successful push decode - Pushes SEMA_MAP_MAX to 65536, SVC_PIN_SLOTS to 32768 for scale
* kernel: enlarge the pin table and its probe window; tools: bridge client ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mappings into the service The pin table became the primary VA->PA store once push-buffer regions and bridged client mappings started adding thousands of pages per boot; at 8192 slots with an 8-probe window, inserts were silently dropped and lookups missed at half load. 32768 slots and a 32-probe window keep the mapped set intact. tools/guest-diag/{guest_pmap_all.py,bridge_sems.sh} translate the CUDA client's /dev/nvidia* mappings through the guest's own pagemap and inject each present page into the service as a sysmem pin. With the client's semaphore pages pinned the service applies their releases into the page the client polls (verified: applied 67 -> 109, misses stop growing for those VAs), where before every write went to the vidmem shadow.
* kernel: resolve semaphores through trusted translations only; tools: dump ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the libcuda tracker wait The vidmem window convention turns any VA above the window base into a vidmem offset, but the CUDA client's GPU semaphores are sysmem objects mapped into its address space at those same VAs. A release applied through the convention therefore landed in the vidmem shadow instead of the page the client polls, and the completion was silently lost: the libcuda tracker it waits on never advanced. Semaphore reads and writes now use trusted translations only (pins, learned cache, discovered map, page walks), so an unresolved semaphore is counted as a miss and stays visible instead of corrupting a shadow. tools/guest-diag/trkinfo.py dumps the libcuda tracker the client spins on: the tracker object behind p+0x9410, the semaphore object it references, the u32 semaphore memory it polls (a /dev/nvidiactl mapping backed by guest RAM) and the VMA that memory lives in.
* tools/guest-diag: add UVM rm_mem kprobe dump for VA->PA ground truthArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-24
| | | | | | | The probe dumps {type, CPU VA, GPU VAs, size} on every uvm_rm_mem_get_cpu_va call (and the first 64 bytes of the object's CPU mapping with nested fetchargs), which is how the host-side learned map can be checked against what the guest actually created.
* tools/guest-diag: add UVM wait diagnostics, tracker poke and VA->PA map injectorArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-24

* kernel: validate learned semaphore maps and post guest GPU eventsArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - admit {GPU VA -> PA} pairs only when the preceding bytes form a valid client memory descriptor header (type 0/1, CPU+GPU mapped bits), prefer validated pairs over headerless candidates under first-wins dedup, and invalidate the translation cache on every rebuild; fixes stale identity entries shadowing live pool pages and lets the guest UVM channel bring-up complete on its own - capture OS event allocations (class 0x79) and post event records (function 0x1003) into the guest status queue when a channel's busy notification is consumed, with a broadcast fallback, serialized with replies via a queue lock - add BAR0 shadow introspection (dump_bar0/scan_bar0) and guest-side diagnostic scripts for the VM cycle
* kernel: coherent GSP-RM replies for engine-context creationArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - GSP_RM_ALLOC: echo the request payload back with status forced to NV_OK. The kernel driver copies the reply params over the caller's params buffer using the class-expected size, so a zeroed reply smashed libcuda's stack (SIGSEGV at the engine-registration continuation); echoing makes the copy-back idempotent. - CE_GET_PHYSICAL_CAPS / CE_GET_ALL(_PHYSICAL)_CAPS: report sysmem, P2P and BL copy caps and mark the GR-synchronous CE (GRCE, COPY0). Without a GRCE the client's context walk ends with an empty secondary-engine record and the engine RM alloc is issued with class 0 (rejected -> cuCtxCreate fails). - TU104 engine table: CE0 shares the GR PBDMA ids (the driver's GR/GRCE runqueue validation requires it), plus an entry for the async copy engine (COPY14) advertised in the GSP static info engine caps. - tools/guest-diag/ioctl_trace: decode the RM status fields of alloc, control and free so the first failing driver call is visible in traces. gitignore: keep the CUDA analysis scratch tree (incl. WORKING-HERE.md) local.
* userspace/cuda: libcuda analysis tree (debug-focused), guest ioctl tracerArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Analysis tooling for debugging CUDA execution in Open-IOV guests: - userspace/cuda/570.144/: fetch a library from a running guest (nc), objdump helpers, crash ip -> file vaddr + symbol mapping, and Ghidra headless import/analysis/decompile scripts (project kept so single functions decompile in seconds). The purpose is debugging correctness and performance of CUDA in Open-IOV VMs (not a reimplementation); extracted binaries and decompiled output are gitignored. - tools/guest-diag/ioctl_trace.c: ptrace tracker for the NVIDIA driver ioctls of a child (libcuda issues raw syscalls, so LD_PRELOAD sees nothing). Decodes RM_ALLOC (class) and RM_CONTROL (cmd) arguments; this is how the cuCtxCreate crash sequence was captured. - tools/test/cuda_drv_test.c: unbuffered + per-call markers so a crash identifies the CUDA call it happened in.
* kernel: execute pushed CE work (PTE memsets, copies) and track semaphoresArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The progress service now decodes push buffers as method streams and performs the work the driver pushes, not just the tracking semaphore: - C5B5 method decoder: SET_REMAP_CONST_A/B + COMPONENTS + OFFSET_OUT + LINE_LENGTH_IN + LAUNCH_DMA = memset (into vidmem or guest RAM); OFFSET_IN + OFFSET_OUT + LAUNCH_DMA = copy; SET_SEMAPHORE_A/B/PAYLOAD + LAUNCH_DMA = release. Contiguous method runs (count 2/4) are applied in full - OFFSET_IN/OUT arrive as one run. - Pushes span page boundaries, so pages are decoded as method streams without a start marker. Collected operations execute only when the push's release is reached and still pending (payload ahead of the semaphore), so recycled buffers replaying old pushes are skipped and their stale memsets cannot overwrite newer state. - VA->PA map is first-wins: stale copies of freed allocations and unrelated adjacent u64 pairs produced bogus entries that hijacked a good mapping and sent semaphore writes to the wrong page. - dump_guest module parameter (hex dump of guest PA, kthread via completion; kthread_stop before the thread runs loses the work). With this the guest no longer stalls in uvm_tracker_wait and no longer oopses in the UVM path; the failure moved to a userspace segfault inside libcuda (NULL-0x38) after the driver's page allocations. Also add tools/cuda-ab: run one deterministic CUDA workload on the host (bare metal oracle) and in the guest, then compare the stable result lines. The binary links the CUDA runtime statically so the guest only needs the driver's libcuda.so.
* 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.
