# BAR Emulation Specification (GSP 570.144W)

## Overview
The GSP firmware implements BAR (Base Address Register) emulation for virtual GPU (vGPU) through the **BAR_TRAP** RPC (type 0x0A). The main handler at **0x04CB8188** (40 KB) manages BAR1 aperture, forced access, and memory backing.

## Handler State Machine

### Main Loop (0x04CB8188)
The handler runs a continuous event loop processing BAR trap requests:

```c
while (true) {
    // Wait for trap event (bitmask in unaff_s5)
    event = wait_for_bar_event();
    
    switch (event & 0x3F) {
        case 0x01:  // BAR1 write access
            handle_bar1_write();
            break;
        case 0x02:  // BAR1 read access
            handle_bar1_read();
            break;
        case 0x08:  // Aperture configuration
            handle_aperture_config();
            break;
        case 0x10:  // ForceBarAccess
            handle_force_access();
            break;
        case 0x20:  // Bar1Rest (restore)
            handle_bar1_restore();
            break;
        default:
            return ERROR_UNKNOWN_EVENT;
    }
}
```

### Event Bitmask
| Bit | Event | Description |
|-----|-------|-------------|
| 0 | BAR1_WRITE | Guest VF wrote to BAR1 |
| 1 | BAR1_READ | Guest VF read from BAR1 |
| 3 | APERTURE | Aperture size/offset change |
| 4 | FORCE_ACCESS | ForceBarAccess triggered |
| 5 | BAR1_REST | Restore BAR1 state |

## Memory Management

### Allocator Arena (0x429B450)
```c
// Allocate backing store for BAR emulation
void *bar_alloc(size_t size) {
    // Calls UNK_ram_058A1A9C(0x429B450, size)
    // Returns pointer in 0x429B000 region
}

// Free backing store
void bar_free(void *ptr) {
    // Calls UNK_ram_05895BF4(0x429B428, ptr)
}
```

### Allocation Sizes
- **Standard BAR1 page**: 0x1000 (4 KB)
- **Aperture buffer**: 0x40000 (256 KB) max
- **Force access buffer**: 0x1000 (4 KB)

### Cache Coherency
```c
// Flush cache for DMA
void bar_cache_flush(void *addr, size_t size) {
    UNK_ram_05895BF4(0x429B428, addr);
    UNK_ram_05895BF4(0x429B428, addr + size);
}
```

## BAR1 Emulation Logic

### Write Path (Event 0x01)
```c
int handle_bar1_write(bar_trap_t *trap) {
    // 1. Validate offset within aperture
    if (trap->offset >= bar1_aperture_size)
        return ERROR_OVERFLOW;
    
    // 2. Check ForceBarAccess flag
    if (force_bar_access && !(trap->flags & FORCE_ALLOWED))
        return ERROR_PERMISSION;
    
    // 3. Translate to backing store
    uint8_t *backing = bar1_backing + trap->offset;
    
    // 4. Perform write (1/2/4/8 bytes)
    switch (trap->size) {
        case 1: *backing = trap->value; break;
        case 2: *(uint16_t*)backing = trap->value; break;
        case 4: *(uint32_t*)backing = trap->value; break;
        case 8: *(uint64_t*)backing = trap->value; break;
    }
    
    // 5. Flush to device if needed
    if (device_needs_flush)
        bar_cache_flush(backing, trap->size);
    
    return OK;
}
```

### Read Path (Event 0x02)
```c
int handle_bar1_read(bar_trap_t *trap) {
    if (trap->offset >= bar1_aperture_size)
        return ERROR_OVERFLOW;
    
    uint8_t *backing = bar1_backing + trap->offset;
    
    switch (trap->size) {
        case 1: *trap->out_value = *backing; break;
        case 2: *trap->out_value = *(uint16_t*)backing; break;
        case 4: *trap->out_value = *(uint32_t*)backing; break;
        case 8: *trap->out_value = *(uint64_t*)backing; break;
    }
    
    return OK;
}
```

### Aperture Configuration (Event 0x08)
```c
int handle_aperture_config(bar_config_t *cfg) {
    // Validate new aperture
    if (cfg->size > MAX_APERTURE_SIZE)  // 0x40000
        return ERROR_INVALID;
    
    if (cfg->offset & 0xFFF)  // Must be 4KB aligned
        return ERROR_ALIGNMENT;
    
    // Reallocate backing store if size changed
    if (cfg->size != bar1_aperture_size) {
        void *new_backing = bar_alloc(cfg->size);
        if (!new_backing) return ERROR_NOMEM;
        
        // Copy existing data
        memcpy(new_backing, bar1_backing, 
               min(cfg->size, bar1_aperture_size));
        
        bar_free(bar1_backing);
        bar1_backing = new_backing;
        bar1_aperture_size = cfg->size;
    }
    
    bar1_aperture_offset = cfg->offset;
    return OK;
}
```

### ForceBarAccess (Event 0x10)
```c
int handle_force_access(force_access_t *fa) {
    // ForceBarAccess allows hypervisor to bypass VF permissions
    // Used for live migration, checkpoint/restore
    
    force_bar_access = fa->enable;
    force_access_vf = fa->vf_id;
    force_access_range = fa->range;
    
    // Allocate shadow buffer for forced operations
    if (fa->enable) {
        force_buffer = bar_alloc(0x1000);
        if (!force_buffer) return ERROR_NOMEM;
    } else {
        bar_free(force_buffer);
        force_buffer = NULL;
    }
    
    return OK;
}
```

### Bar1Rest - State Restore (Event 0x20)
```c
int handle_bar1_restore(restore_state_t *rs) {
    // Restore BAR1 state from checkpoint
    // Used during VF live migration
    
    bar1_aperture_offset = rs->aperture_offset;
    bar1_aperture_size = rs->aperture_size;
    force_bar_access = rs->force_access;
    
    // Restore backing store from serialized data
    if (rs->backing_size > 0) {
        void *new_backing = bar_alloc(rs->backing_size);
        if (!new_backing) return ERROR_NOMEM;
        
        memcpy(new_backing, rs->backing_data, rs->backing_size);
        bar_free(bar1_backing);
        bar1_backing = new_backing;
    }
    
    return OK;
}
```

## vGPU-IO Integration

### Kernel BAR Trap Registration
```c
struct gsp_bar_ops {
    int (*bar_trap)(struct gsp_device *gsp, 
                    struct bar_trap_msg *msg);
    int (*configure_aperture)(struct gsp_device *gsp,
                              uint32_t vf_id,
                              uint64_t offset, uint64_t size);
    int (*force_access)(struct gsp_device *gsp,
                        uint32_t vf_id, bool enable);
    int (*save_state)(struct gsp_device *gsp,
                      uint32_t vf_id, void *buf, size_t *size);
    int (*restore_state)(struct gsp_device *gsp,
                         uint32_t vf_id, void *buf, size_t size);
};

static const struct gsp_bar_ops gsp_bar_ops = {
    .bar_trap = gsp_bar_trap_handler,
    .configure_aperture = gsp_bar_config_aperture,
    .force_access = gsp_bar_force_access,
    .save_state = gsp_bar_save_state,
    .restore_state = gsp_bar_restore_state,
};
```

### VF BAR Configuration
```c
int gsp_vf_bar_init(struct gsp_vf *vf) {
    struct bar_config cfg = {
        .vf_id = vf->id,
        .bar = 1,  // BAR1
        .aperture_offset = vf->bar1_offset,
        .aperture_size = vf->bar1_size,
        .flags = BAR_FLAG_COHERENT,
    };
    
    return gsp_rpc_send(vf->gsp, RPC_BAR_TRAP, 
                        BAR_SUBCMD_CONFIG, &cfg, sizeof(cfg));
}
```

### Live Migration Support
```c
// Save BAR state for migration
int gsp_vf_bar_save(struct gsp_vf *vf, void *buf, size_t *size) {
    struct bar_save_msg msg = {
        .vf_id = vf->id,
        .bar = 1,
    };
    
    return gsp_rpc_send(vf->gsp, RPC_BAR_TRAP,
                        BAR_SUBCMD_SAVE, &msg, sizeof(msg),
                        buf, size);
}

// Restore BAR state on destination
int gsp_vf_bar_restore(struct gsp_vf *vf, void *buf, size_t size) {
    struct bar_restore_msg msg = {
        .vf_id = vf->id,
        .bar = 1,
        .data = buf,
        .data_size = size,
    };
    
    return gsp_rpc_send(vf->gsp, RPC_BAR_TRAP,
                        BAR_SUBCMD_RESTORE, &msg, sizeof(msg));
}
```

## Error Handling

| Error | Code | Recovery |
|-------|------|----------|
| OOM (0x51) | Allocator exhausted | Shrink aperture, retry |
| Timeout (0x1E) | Cache flush timeout | Reset BAR, reinitialize |
| Invalid (0x1F) | Bad aperture config | Validate alignment/size |
| Permission (0xFFFF) | ForceAccess violation | Check VF permissions |
| Overflow (0x25) | Offset beyond aperture | Bounds check in VF driver |
