From 81a817d4e21586525d69d4a3091af95bcb60a34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ejc3 Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 15:06:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] Enable VHE mode for nested virtualization Switch from nVHE to VHE mode for nested virtualization support. VHE mode (E2H=1) allows the guest kernel to run at EL2, which is required for kvm-arm.mode=nested to work in the guest. Changes: - podman.rs: Set FCVM_NV2=1 when --kernel is used, change boot param from kvm-arm.mode=nvhe to kvm-arm.mode=nested - test_kvm.rs: Remove #[ignore] from 4-level inception test, add proper exit status checking to catch failures - Makefile: Add rebuild-fc and dev-fc-test targets for Firecracker development workflow Results: - L1 guest now boots with VHE mode: "kvm [1]: VHE mode initialized" - Basic nested KVM works (KVM_CREATE_VM succeeds in L1) - KVM_CAP_ARM_EL2 is reported as 1048576 in L1 Known limitation: Recursive nested virtualization (L1 creating L2 with HAS_EL2) fails: "Error initializing the vcpu: No such file or directory" L1's KVM advertises the capability but KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT with HAS_EL2 fails. This is a kernel limitation - NV2 patches note recursive nesting is "not tested yet".

Root cause is that virtual EL2 reads ID registers directly from hardware - HCR_EL2.TID3 only traps EL1 reads, not EL2 reads. So L1 kernel saw MMFR4=0 instead of the emulated NV2_ONLY value. The solution: Add arm64.nv2 boot parameter that overrides MMFR4.NV_frac to advertise NV2 support. Key insight: the kernel's override mechanism normally only allows lowering feature values (FTR_LOWER_SAFE). Changed to FTR_HIGHER_SAFE for MMFR4 NV_frac to allow upward overrides. Changes: - kernel/patches/mmfr4-override.patch: Kernel patch adding MMFR4 override support with FTR_HIGHER_SAFE, plus arm64.nv2 alias - kernel/build.sh: Update to kernel 6.18, auto-compute SHA from build inputs, apply MMFR4 patch during build - src/commands/podman.rs: Add arm64.nv2 to boot args for inception Tested: Successfully ran L2 VM inside L1: [ctr:stdout] Hello from L2 The recursive nesting chain now works: Host -> L1 -> L2. --- .claude/CLAUDE.md | 47 ++++++----- kernel/build.sh | 39 +++++++-- kernel/patches/mmfr4-override.patch | 126 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/commands/podman.rs | 4 +- 4 files changed, 186 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 kernel/patches/mmfr4-override.patch diff --git a/.claude/CLAUDE.md b/.claude/CLAUDE.md index a1a2ea45..5fd566a1 100644 --- a/.claude/CLAUDE.md +++ b/.claude/CLAUDE.md @@ -32,11 +32,11 @@ fcvm supports running inside another fcvm VM ("inception") using ARM64 FEAT_NV2. ### How It Works 1.
