KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT
request the initialization of the ITS, no additional parameter in
kvm_device_attr.addr.
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. The entries
are laid out in little endian format as described in the last paragraph.
KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES
restore the ITS tables from guest RAM to ITS internal structures.
The GICV3 must be restored before the ITS and all ITS registers but
the GITS_CTLR must be restored before restoring the ITS tables.
The GITS_IIDR read-only register must also be restored before
calling KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES as the IIDR revision field
encodes the ABI revision.
The expected ordering when restoring the GICv3/ITS is described in section
"ITS Restore Sequence".
Errors:
-ENXIO: ITS not properly configured as required prior to setting
this attribute
-ENOMEM: Memory shortage when allocating ITS internal data
-EINVAL: Inconsistent restored data
-EFAULT: Invalid guest ram access
-EBUSY: One or more VCPUS are running
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_REGS
Attributes:
The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes the offset of the
ITS register, relative to the ITS control frame base address
(ITS_base).
kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value whatever the width
of the addressed register (32/64 bits). 64 bit registers can only
be accessed with full length.
Writes to read-only registers are ignored by the kernel except for:
- GITS_CREADR. 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. Also it must be restored after GITS_CBASER since a write to
GITS_CBASER resets GITS_CREADR.
- GITS_IIDR. The Revision field encodes the table layout ABI revision.
In the future we might implement direct injection of virtual LPIs.
This will require an upgrade of the table layout and an evolution of
the ABI. GITS_IIDR must be restored before calling
KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES.
For other registers, getting or setting a register has the same
effect as reading/writing the register on real hardware.
Errors:
-ENXIO: Offset does not correspond to any supported register
-EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr
-EINVAL: Offset is not 64-bit aligned
-EBUSY: one or more VCPUS are running
ITS Restore Sequence:
-------------------------
The following ordering must be followed when restoring the GIC and the ITS:
a) restore all guest memory and create vcpus
b) restore all redistributors
c) initialize the ITS and then provide its base address
(KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT, KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR)
d) restore the ITS in the following order:
1. Restore GITS_CBASER
2. Restore all other GITS_ registers, except GITS_CTLR!
3. Load the ITS table data (KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES)
4. Restore GITS_CTLR
Then vcpus can be started.
ITS Table ABI REV0:
-------------------
Revision 0 of the ABI only supports physical LPIs.
The device table and ITT are indexed by the deviceid and eventid,
respectively. The collection table is not indexed by collectionid:
CTEs are written in the table in the order of collection creation. All
entries are 8 bytes.
Device Table Entry (DTE):
bits: | 63| 62 ... 49 | 48 ... 5 | 4 ... 0 |
values: | V | next | ITT_addr | Size |
where;
- V indicates whether the entry is valid. If not, other fields
are not meaningful.
- next: equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it
corresponds to the deviceid offset to the next DTE, capped by
2^14 -1.
- ITT_addr matches bits [51:8] of the ITT address (256 Byte aligned).
- Size specifies the supported number of bits for the eventid,
minus one
Collection Table Entry (CTE):
bits: | 63| 62 .. 52 | 51 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
values: | V | RES0 | RDBase | ICID |
where:
- V indicates whether the entry is valid. If not, other fields are
not meaningful.
- RES0: reserved field with Should-Be-Zero-or-Preserved behavior.
- RDBase is the PE number (GICR_TYPER.Processor_Number semantic),
- ICID is the collection ID
Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE):
bits: | 63 ... 48 | 47 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
values: | next | pINTID | ICID |
where:
- next: equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it corresponds
to the eventid offset to the next ITE capped by 2^16 -1.
- pINTID is the physical LPI ID; if zero, it means the entry is not valid
and other fields are not meaningful.
- ICID is the collection ID
