-The Definitive KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) API Documentation
-===================================================================
-
-1. General description
-
-The kvm API is a set of ioctls that are issued to control various aspects
-of a virtual machine. The ioctls belong to three classes
-
- - System ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the
- whole kvm subsystem. In addition a system ioctl is used to create
- virtual machines
-
- - VM ioctls: These query and set attributes that affect an entire virtual
- machine, for example memory layout. In addition a VM ioctl is used to
- create virtual cpus (vcpus).
-
- Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used
- to create the VM.
-
- - vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation
- of a single virtual cpu.
-
- Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the
- vcpu.
-
-2. File descritpors
-
-The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial
-open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle
-can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this
-handle will create a VM file descripror which can be used to issue VM
-ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl on a VM fd will create a virtual cpu
-and return a file descriptor pointing to it. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu
-fd can be used to control the vcpu, including the important task of
-actually running guest code.
-
-In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means
-of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These
-kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will
-not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by
-the API. The only supported use is one virtual machine per process,
-and one vcpu per thread.
-
-3. Extensions
-
-As of Linux 2.6.22, the KVM ABI has been stabilized: no backward
-incompatible change are allowed. However, there is an extension
-facility that allows backward-compatible extensions to the API to be
-queried and used.
-
-The extension mechanism is not based on on the Linux version number.
-Instead, kvm defines extension identifiers and a facility to query
-whether a particular extension identifier is available. If it is, a
-set of ioctls is available for application use.
-
-4. API description
-
-This section describes ioctls that can be used to control kvm guests.
-For each ioctl, the following information is provided along with a
-description:
-
- Capability: which KVM extension provides this ioctl. Can be 'basic',
- which means that is will be provided by any kernel that supports
- API version 12 (see section 4.1), or a KVM_CAP_xyz constant, which
- means availability needs to be checked with KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
- (see section 4.4).
-
- Architectures: which instruction set architectures provide this ioctl.
- x86 includes both i386 and x86_64.
-
- Type: system, vm, or vcpu.
-
- Parameters: what parameters are accepted by the ioctl.
-
- Returns: the return value. General error numbers (EBADF, ENOMEM, EINVAL)
- are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are.
-
-4.1 KVM_GET_API_VERSION
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: system ioctl
-Parameters: none
-Returns: the constant KVM_API_VERSION (=12)
-
-This identifies the API version as the stable kvm API. It is not
-expected that this number will change. However, Linux 2.6.20 and
-2.6.21 report earlier versions; these are not documented and not
-supported. Applications should refuse to run if KVM_GET_API_VERSION
-returns a value other than 12. If this check passes, all ioctls
-described as 'basic' will be available.
-
-4.2 KVM_CREATE_VM
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: system ioctl
-Parameters: none
-Returns: a VM fd that can be used to control the new virtual machine.
-
-The new VM has no virtual cpus and no memory. An mmap() of a VM fd
-will access the virtual machine's physical address space; offset zero
-corresponds to guest physical address zero. Use of mmap() on a VM fd
-is discouraged if userspace memory allocation (KVM_CAP_USER_MEMORY) is
-available.
-
-4.3 KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: x86
-Type: system
-Parameters: struct kvm_msr_list (in/out)
-Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
-Errors:
- E2BIG: the msr index list is to be to fit in the array specified by
- the user.
-
-struct kvm_msr_list {
- __u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */
- __u32 indices[0];
-};
-
-This ioctl returns the guest msrs that are supported. The list varies
-by kvm version and host processor, but does not change otherwise. The
-user fills in the size of the indices array in nmsrs, and in return
-kvm adjusts nmsrs to reflect the actual number of msrs and fills in
-the indices array with their numbers.
-
-4.4 KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: system ioctl
-Parameters: extension identifier (KVM_CAP_*)
-Returns: 0 if unsupported; 1 (or some other positive integer) if supported
-
-The API allows the application to query about extensions to the core
-kvm API. Userspace passes an extension identifier (an integer) and
-receives an integer that describes the extension availability.
-Generally 0 means no and 1 means yes, but some extensions may report
-additional information in the integer return value.
-
-4.5 KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: system ioctl
-Parameters: none
-Returns: size of vcpu mmap area, in bytes
-
-The KVM_RUN ioctl (cf.) communicates with userspace via a shared
-memory region. This ioctl returns the size of that region. See the
-KVM_RUN documentation for details.
-
-4.6 KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: vm ioctl
-Parameters: struct kvm_memory_region (in)
-Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
-
-struct kvm_memory_region {
- __u32 slot;
- __u32 flags;
- __u64 guest_phys_addr;
- __u64 memory_size; /* bytes */
-};
-
-/* for kvm_memory_region::flags */
-#define KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES 1UL
-
-This ioctl allows the user to create or modify a guest physical memory
-slot. When changing an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest
-physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. It may not be
-resized. Slots may not overlap.
-
-The flags field supports just one flag, KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES, which
-instructs kvm to keep track of writes to memory within the slot. See
-the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl.
-
-It is recommended to use the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl instead
-of this API, if available. This newer API allows placing guest memory
-at specified locations in the host address space, yielding better
-control and easy access.
-
-4.6 KVM_CREATE_VCPU
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: vm ioctl
-Parameters: vcpu id (apic id on x86)
-Returns: vcpu fd on success, -1 on error
-
-This API adds a vcpu to a virtual machine. The vcpu id is a small integer
-in the range [0, max_vcpus).
-
-4.7 KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG (vm ioctl)
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: x86
-Type: vm ioctl
-Parameters: struct kvm_dirty_log (in/out)

- __u32 slot;
- __u32 padding;
- union {
- void __user *dirty_bitmap; /* one bit per page */
- __u64 padding;
- };
-};
-
-Given a memory slot, return a bitmap containing any pages dirtied
-since the last call to this ioctl. Bit 0 is the first page in the
-memory slot. Ensure the entire structure is cleared to avoid padding
-issues.
-
-4.8 KVM_SET_MEMORY_ALIAS
-
-Capability: basic
-Architectures: x86
-Type: vm ioctl
-Parameters: struct kvm_memory_alias (in)
-Returns: 0 (success), -1 (error)

- __u64 guest_phys_addr;
- __u64 memory_size;
- __u64 target_phys_addr;
-};
-
-Defines a guest physical address space region as an alias to another
-region. Useful for aliased address, for example the VGA low memory
-window. Should not be used with userspace memory.
-
-4.9 KVM_RUN

-Capability: basic
-Architectures: all
-Type: vcpu ioctl
-Parameters: none
-Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
-Errors:
- EINTR: an unmasked signal is pending

-This ioctl is used to run a guest virtual cpu. While there are no
-explicit parameters, there is an implicit parameter block that can be
-obtained by mmap()ing the vcpu fd at offset 0, with the size given by
-KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE. The parameter block is formatted as a 'struct
-kvm_run' (see below).

-Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
-
-Set pending exceptions, interrupts, and NMIs as well as related states of the
-vcpu.
-
-See KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS for the data structure.
-
-Fields that may be modified asynchronously by running VCPUs can be excluded
-from the update. These fields are nmi.pending and sipi_vector. Keep the
-corresponding bits in the flags field cleared to suppress overwriting the
-current in-kernel state. The bits are:
-
-KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_NMI_PENDING - transfer nmi.pending to the kernel
-KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SIPI_VECTOR - transfer sipi_vector
-
-
-5. The kvm_run structure
-
-Application code obtains a pointer to the kvm_run structure by
-mmap()ing a vcpu fd. From that point, application code can control
-execution by changing fields in kvm_run prior to calling the KVM_RUN
-ioctl, and obtain information about the reason KVM_RUN returned by
-looking up structure members.
-
-struct kvm_run {
- /* in */
- __u8 request_interrupt_window;
-
-Request that KVM_RUN return when it becomes possible to inject external
-interrupts into the guest. Useful in conjunction with KVM_INTERRUPT.
-
- __u8 padding1[7];
-
- /* out */
- __u32 exit_reason;
-
-When KVM_RUN has returned successfully (return value 0), this informs
-application code why KVM_RUN has returned. Allowable values for this
-field are detailed below.
-
- __u8 ready_for_interrupt_injection;
-
-If request_interrupt_window has been specified, this field indicates
-an interrupt can be injected now with KVM_INTERRUPT.
-
- __u8 if_flag;
-
-The value of the current interrupt flag. Only valid if in-kernel
-local APIC is not used.
-
- __u8 padding2[2];
-
- /* in (pre_kvm_run), out (post_kvm_run) */
- __u64 cr8;
-
-The value of the cr8 register. Only valid if in-kernel local APIC is
-not used. Both input and output.
-
- __u64 apic_base;
-
-The value of the APIC BASE msr. Only valid if in-kernel local
-APIC is not used. Both input and output.
-
- union {
- /* KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN */
- struct {
- __u64 hardware_exit_reason;
- } hw;
-
-If exit_reason is KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN, the vcpu has exited due to unknown
-reasons. Further architecture-specific information is available in
-hardware_exit_reason.
-
- /* KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY */
- struct {
- __u64 hardware_entry_failure_reason;
- } fail_entry;
-
