ARM: KVM: VGIC accept vcpu and dist base addresses from user space

2013-02-11T18:59:01Z

User space defines the model to emulate to a guest and should therefore decide which addresses are used for both the virtual CPU interface directly mapped in the guest physical address space and for the emulated distributor interface, which is mapped in software by the in-kernel VGIC support.

KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctl

2013-02-11T18:58:39Z

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: set_memory_region: Disallow changing read-only attribute later

2013-02-05T00:56:47Z

As Xiao pointed out, there are a few problems with it: - kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() write protects the memory slot only for GET_DIRTY_LOG when modifying the flags. - FNAME(sync_page) uses the old spte value to set a new one without checking KVM_MEM_READONLY flag. Since we flush all shadow pages when creating a new slot, the simplest fix is to disallow such problematic flag changes: this is safe because no one is doing such things.

KVM: ARM: Power State Coordination Interface implementation

2013-01-23T18:29:18Z

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: Demux CCSIDR in the userspace API

2013-01-23T18:29:14Z

The Cache Size Selection Register (CSSELR) selects the current Cache Size ID Register (CCSIDR). You write which cache you are interested in to CSSELR, and read the information out of CCSIDR. Which cache numbers are valid is known by reading the Cache Level ID Register (CLIDR). To export this state to userspace, we add a KVM_REG_ARM_DEMUX numberspace (17), which uses 8 bits to represent which register is being demultiplexed (0 for CCSIDR), and the lower 8 bits to represent this demultiplexing (in our case, the CSSELR value, which is 4 bits).

KVM: ARM: User space API for getting/setting co-proc registers

2013-01-23T18:29:14Z

The following three ioctls are implemented: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST - KVM_GET_ONE_REG - KVM_SET_ONE_REG Now we have a table for all the cp15 registers, we can drive a generic API. The register IDs carry the following encoding: ARM registers are mapped using the lower 32 bits. The upper 16 of that is the register group type, or coprocessor number: ARM 32-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4002 0000 000F ARM 64-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4003 0000 000F For futureproofing, we need to tell QEMU about the CP15 registers the host lets the guest access. It will need this information to restore a current guest on a future CPU or perhaps a future KVM which allow some of these to be changed. We use a separate table for these, as they're only for the userspace API. Reviewed-by: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

KVM: ARM: Inject IRQs and FIQs from userspace

2013-01-23T18:29:12Z

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.
