This extension is +optional. Creating a virtual ITS controller also requires a host GICv3 (see +arm-vgic-v3.txt), but does not depend on having physical ITS controllers. + +There can be multiple ITS controllers per guest, each of them has to have +a separate, non-overlapping MMIO region. + + +Groups: + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR + Attributes: + KVM_VGIC_ITS_ADDR_TYPE (rw, 64-bit) + Base address in the guest physical address space of the GICv3 ITS + control register frame. + This address needs to be 64K aligned and the region covers 128K. + Errors: + -E2BIG: Address outside of addressable IPA range + -EINVAL: Incorrectly aligned address + -EEXIST: Address already configured + -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr. + -ENODEV: Incorrect attribute or the ITS is not supported. + + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL + Attributes: + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT + request the initialization of the ITS, no additional parameter in + kvm_device_attr.addr. + + KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET + reset the ITS, no additional parameter in kvm_device_attr.addr. + See "ITS Reset State" section. + + KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES + save the ITS table data into guest RAM, at the location provisioned + by the guest in corresponding registers/table entries. + + The layout of the tables in guest memory defines an ABI.

It must be restored otherwise commands in the queue + will be re-executed after restoring CWRITER. GITS_CREADR must be + restored before restoring the GITS_CTLR which is likely to enable the + ITS.
