A USB keyboard or mouse becomes almost unusable. - - -While narrowing down the problem, I established the following facts by experimentation, tracing, and code inspection: - - * Although the vmapple platform uses an emulated XHCI PCI device for connecting virtual USB devices, it does not support message-signalled interrupts, in either the MSI or MSI-X persuasion. (This is true in Apple's implementation as well, but the macOS guest's XHCI driver unsurprisingly does work with Apple's PCI/XHCI implementation.) - * macOS guests (and the iBoot bootloader) appear to refuse to drive XHCI controllers with `numintrs < 4`, for both aarch64 and x86-64 architectures. They will generally set up event rings 0, 1, and 2. - * QEMU's PCI XHCI implementation does not appear to implement (as of 9.2.0-rc2) any mitigations for when the controller is used in pin-based IRQ mode. It will happily attempt to use event rings >0 in this case, but interrupts are dropped. - * Linux and FreeBSD guests appear to use only interrupter 0 anyway, so these are not useful references. - -It's not entirely clear to me what component is ultimately responsible for the failure here - I suspect there might be some not-quite-right behaviour in both macOS's XHCI driver and Qemu's XHCI implementation, and that these conspire to a non-functional setup.""" -additional = "n/a" |
