2013-05-02KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add API for in-kernel XICS emulationPaul Mackerras
This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS. The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES. Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt source number. This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S: Facilities to save/restore XICS presentation ctrler statePaul Mackerras
This adds the ability for userspace to save and restore the state of the XICS interrupt presentation controllers (ICPs) via the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Since there is one ICP per vcpu, we simply define a new 64-bit register in the ONE_REG space for the ICP state. The state includes the CPU priority setting, the pending IPI priority, and the priority and source number of any pending external interrupt.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add infrastructure to implement kernel-side RTAS callsMichael Ellerman
For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

2013-04-26kvm/ppc/mpic: add KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPICScott Wood
Enabling this capability connects the vcpu to the designated in-kernel MPIC. Using explicit connections between vcpus and irqchips allows for flexibility, but the main benefit at the moment is that it simplifies the code -- KVM doesn't need vm-global state to remember which MPIC object is associated with this vm, and it doesn't need to care about ordering between irqchip creation and vcpu creation.

2013-04-26kvm: add device control APIScott Wood
Currently, devices that are emulated inside KVM are configured in a hardcoded manner based on an assumption that any given architecture only has one way to do it. If there's any need to access device state, it is done through inflexible one-purpose-only IOCTLs (e.g. KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC). Defining new IOCTLs for every little thing is cumbersome and depletes a limited numberspace. This API provides a mechanism to instantiate a device of a certain type, returning an ID that can be used to set/get attributes of the device. Attributes may include configuration parameters (e.g. register base address), device state, operational commands, etc. It is similar to the ONE_REG API, except that it acts on devices rather than vcpus. Both device types and individual attributes can be tested without having to create the device or get/set the attribute, without the need for separately managing enumerated capabilities.

2013-03-22KVM: PPC: Added one_reg interface for timer registersBharat Bhushan
If userspace wants to change some specific bits of TSR (timer status register) then it uses GET/SET_SREGS ioctl interface. So the steps will be: i) user-space will make get ioctl, ii) change TSR in userspace iii) then make set ioctl. It can happen that TSR gets changed by kernel after step i) and before step iii). To avoid this we have added below one_reg ioctls for oring and clearing specific bits in TSR. This patch adds one registerface for: 1) setting specific bit in TSR (timer status register) 2) clearing specific bit in TSR (timer status register) 3) setting/getting the TCR register. There are cases where we want to only change TCR and not TSR. Although we can uses SREGS without KVM_SREGS_E_UPDATE_TSR flag but I think one reg is better. I am open if someone feels we should use SREGS only here. 4) getting/setting TSR register Signed-off-by: Bharat Bhushan <bharat.bhushan@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

2013-02-11KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctlChristoffer Dall
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.

2013-02-04KVM: set_memory_region: Disallow changing read-only attribute laterTakuya Yoshikawa
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.

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).

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 <zero:1> <crn:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <opc2:3> ARM 64-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4003 0000 000F <zero:1> <zero:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <zero:3> 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.

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: Add EPR ONE_REG syncAlexander Graf
We need to be able to read and write the contents of the EPR register from user space. This patch implements that logic through the ONE_REG API and declares its (never implemented) SREGS counterpart as deprecated. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
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.
