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.

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.

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.

We have a capability enquire system that allows user space to ask kvm whether a feature is available. The point behind this system is that we can have different kernel configurations with different capabilities and user space can adjust accordingly.

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.

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.

A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented.

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification. This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled from vfio with no userspace intervention. All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we reserve a new one for this interface.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest. The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2 of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the actual order of the HPT which was allocated. There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in kvm->arch.vcpus_running. If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done will re-establish the VRMA if necessary. If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants. When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed (256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to 1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to 16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

Right now we transfer a static struct every time we want to get or set registers. Unfortunately, over time we realize that there are more of these than we thought of before and the extensibility and flexibility of transferring a full struct every time is limited. So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse most of the infrastructure and simply implement a GET_MANY_REGS / SET_MANY_REGS interface.
