Compute eXpress Link (CXL) is an industry standard cache coherent interconnect, currently at CXL rev3.0. It brings a number of challenging new paradigms to Linux, and developing an upstream solution for those will take a number of years. Hardware is starting to become available, but lagging the standard significantly. As normal, the device and CPU manufacturers want their hardware supported by distros when they start to sell it – and as an enterprise feature this means upstream multiple years in advance.
There are a number of ways to drive ecosystem support prior to hardware and, in the case of CXL, one path was the development of QEMU based emulation (which continues to be broad collaborative effort).
After a brief introduction to CXL and it's use cases, this talk will focus on the emulation requirements, nasty corners (including ARM specific ones) and future feature plans with the aim of building knowledge and engagement around both the QEMU elements and wider CXL ecosystem.
