      vfio: Add PCI device driver · 89e1f7d4
      Alex Williamson 提交于
      Add PCI device support for VFIO.  PCI devices expose regions
      for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas
      of the device.  PCI config access is virtualized in the kernel,
      allowing us to ensure the integrity of the system, by preventing
      various accesses while reducing duplicate support across various
      userspace drivers.  I/O port supports read/write access while
      MMIO also supports mmap of sufficiently sized regions.  Support
      for INTx, MSI, and MSI-X interrupts are provided using eventfds to
      userspace.

      vfio: Type1 IOMMU implementation · 73fa0d10
      Alex Williamson 提交于
      This VFIO IOMMU backend is designed primarily for AMD-Vi and Intel
      VT-d hardware, but is potentially usable by anything supporting
      similar mapping functionality.  We arbitrarily call this a Type1
      backend for lack of a better name.  This backend has no IOVA
      or host memory mapping restrictions for the user and is optimized
      for relatively static mappings.  Mapped areas are pinned into system
      memory.

      vfio: VFIO core · cba3345c
      Alex Williamson 提交于
      VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
      and user level drivers.  VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
      isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access.  It's
      intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
      (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
      IOMMU).
      
      New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
      through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
      group merge interface.  We now go back to a model more similar to
      original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
      from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
      group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
      of model.  IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
      vastly different interface requirements on different platforms.  VFIO
      users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
      choice.
      
      Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description
      and usage example.
