2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspaceChristoffer Dall
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.

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Initial skeleton to compile KVM supportChristoffer Dall
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.

2013-01-10KVM: PPC: BookE: Implement EPR exitAlexander Graf
The External Proxy Facility in FSL BookE chips allows the interrupt controller to automatically acknowledge an interrupt as soon as a core gets its pending external interrupt delivered. Today, user space implements the interrupt controller, so we need to check on it during such a cycle. This patch implements logic for user space to enable EPR exiting, disable EPR exiting and EPR exiting itself, so that user space can acknowledge an interrupt when an external interrupt has successfully been delivered into the guest vcpu.

2013-01-07KVM: s390: Add support for channel I/O instructions.Cornelia Huck
Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_S390_CSS_SUPPORT, which will pass intercepts for channel I/O instructions to userspace. Only I/O instructions interacting with I/O interrupts need to be handled in-kernel: - TEST PENDING INTERRUPTION (tpi) dequeues and stores pending interrupts entirely in-kernel. - TEST SUBCHANNEL (tsch) dequeues pending interrupts in-kernel and exits via KVM_EXIT_S390_TSCH to userspace for subchannel- related processing.

2013-01-07KVM: s390: Add support for machine checks.Cornelia Huck
Add support for injecting machine checks (only repressible conditions for now). This is a bit more involved than I/O interrupts, for these reasons: - Machine checks come in both floating and cpu varieties. - We don't have a bit for machine checks enabling, but have to use a roundabout approach with trapping PSW changing instructions and watching for opened machine checks.

Add support for handling I/O interrupts (standard, subchannel-related ones and rudimentary adapter interrupts). The subchannel-identifying parameters are encoded into the interrupt type. I/O interrupts are floating, so they can't be injected on a specific vcpu.

2012-12-06KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPTPaul Mackerras
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.
