Hi，

Recently I'm trying to use usb keyboard and mouse with QEMU on ARM64. Below is my QEMU command line, host and guest kernel both are 4.7.0-rc7+, and I ran it on Hikey board.

    qemu-system-aarch64 \
    -smp 1 -cpu host -enable-kvm \
    -m 256 -M virt \
    -k en-us \
    -nographic \
    -device usb-ehci -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse -usb\
    -kernel Image \
    -initrd guestfs.cpio.gz \
    -append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/ram earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 rw"

The following guest log shows that usb controller can be probed but the keyboard and mouse can't be found.

Besides, I have also tried QEMU TCG without KVM. The guest can successfully probe usb controller, keyboard and mouse.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0627:0001
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

So it looks like that usb keyboard and mouse don't work with KVM on QEMU ARM64 while they can work with TCG. IIUC, all the usb devices are emulated by QEMU, it has nothing with KVM. So it really confused me and I'm not familiar with usb devices. Also I have seen someone else reports this issue before[1].

Any comments and help are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Does your QEMU have this patch?

Great! I applied this patch and the keyboard and mouse can work with KVM now. Thanks a lot, Ard.
