* | KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctlChristoffer Dall2013-02-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ARM some bits are specific to the model being emulated for the guest and user space needs a way to tell the kernel about those bits. An example is mmio device base addresses, where KVM must know the base address for a given device to properly emulate mmio accesses within a certain address range or directly map a device with virtualiation extensions into the guest address space. We make this API ARM-specific as we haven't yet reached a consensus for a generic API for all KVM architectures that will allow us to do something like this.

* | KVM: ARM: Power State Coordination Interface implementationMarc Zyngier2013-01-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the PSCI specification (ARM DEN 0022A) to control virtual CPUs being "powered" on or off. PSCI/KVM is detected using the KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI capability. A virtual CPU can now be initialized in a "powered off" state, using the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF feature flag. The guest can use either SMC or HVC to execute a PSCI function.

* | KVM: ARM: Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspaceChristoffer Dall2013-01-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All interrupt injection is now based on the VM ioctl KVM_IRQ_LINE. This works semantically well for the GIC as we in fact raise/lower a line on a machine component (the gic). The IOCTL uses the follwing struct. struct kvm_irq_level { union { __u32 irq; /* GSI */ __s32 status; /* not used for KVM_IRQ_LEVEL */ }; __u32 level; /* 0 or 1 */ }; ARM can signal an interrupt either at the CPU level, or at the in-kernel irqchip (GIC), and for in-kernel irqchip can tell the GIC to use PPIs designated for specific cpus. The irq field is interpreted like this:  bits: | 31 ... 24 | 23 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 | field: | irq_type | vcpu_index | irq_number | The irq_type field has the following values: - irq_type[0]: out-of-kernel GIC: irq_number 0 is IRQ, irq_number 1 is FIQ - irq_type[1]: in-kernel GIC: SPI, irq_number between 32 and 1019 (incl.) (the vcpu_index field is ignored) - irq_type[2]: in-kernel GIC: PPI, irq_number between 16 and 31 (incl.) The irq_number thus corresponds to the irq ID in as in the GICv2 specs. This is documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt.

* | KVM: ARM: Initial skeleton to compile KVM supportChristoffer Dall2013-01-231-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Targets KVM support for Cortex A-15 processors. Contains all the framework components, make files, header files, some tracing functionality, and basic user space API. Only supported core is Cortex-A15 for now. Most functionality is in arch/arm/kvm/* or arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_*.h.

* KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPTPaul Mackerras2012-12-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented.
