+Capability: basic

+Type: vm ioctl, vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_s390_interrupt (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Allows to inject an interrupt to the guest. Interrupts can be floating
+(vm ioctl) or per cpu (vcpu ioctl), depending on the interrupt type.
+
+Interrupt parameters are passed via kvm_s390_interrupt:
+
+struct kvm_s390_interrupt {
+ __u32 type;
+ __u32 parm;
+ __u64 parm64;
+};
+

+4.78 KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD
+Architectures: powerpc
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: Pointer to struct kvm_get_htab_fd (in)
+Returns: file descriptor number (>= 0) on success, -1 on error
+
+This returns a file descriptor that can be used either to read out the
+entries in the guest's hashed page table (HPT), or to write entries to
+initialize the HPT. The returned fd can only be written to if the
+KVM_GET_HTAB_WRITE bit is set in the flags field of the argument, and
+can only be read if that bit is clear. The argument struct looks like
+this:
+
+/* For KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD */
+struct kvm_get_htab_fd {
+ __u64 flags;
+ __u64 start_index;
+ __u64 reserved[2];
+};
+
+/* Values for kvm_get_htab_fd.flags */
+#define KVM_GET_HTAB_BOLTED_ONLY ((__u64)0x1)
+#define KVM_GET_HTAB_WRITE ((__u64)0x2)
+
+The `start_index' field gives the index in the HPT of the entry at
+which to start reading. It is ignored when writing.
+
+Reads on the fd will initially supply information about all
+"interesting" HPT entries. Interesting entries are those with the
+bolted bit set, if the KVM_GET_HTAB_BOLTED_ONLY bit is set, otherwise
+all entries. When the end of the HPT is reached, the read() will
+return. If read() is called again on the fd, it will start again from
+the beginning of the HPT, but will only return HPT entries that have
+changed since they were last read.
+
+Data read or written is structured as a header (8 bytes) followed by a
+series of valid HPT entries (16 bytes) each. The header indicates how
+many valid HPT entries there are and how many invalid entries follow
+the valid entries. The invalid entries are not represented explicitly
+in the stream. The header format is:
+
+struct kvm_get_htab_header {
+ __u32 index;
+ __u16 n_valid;
+ __u16 n_invalid;
+};
+
+Writes to the fd create HPT entries starting at the index given in the
+header; first `n_valid' valid entries with contents from the data
+written, then `n_invalid' invalid entries, invalidating any previously
+valid entries found.
