9  - KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3     ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v3.0
10
11Only one VGIC instance may be instantiated through this API.  The created VGIC
12will act as the VM interrupt controller, requiring emulated user-space devices
13to inject interrupts to the VGIC instead of directly to CPUs.  It is not
14possible to create both a GICv3 and GICv2 on the same VM.
15
16Creating a guest GICv3 device requires a host GICv3 host, or a GICv5 host with
17support for FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY.

23
24    KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_DIST (rw, 64-bit)
25      Base address in the guest physical address space of the GICv3 distributor
26      register mappings. Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3.
27      This address needs to be 64K aligned and the region covers 64 KByte.
28
29    KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST (rw, 64-bit)
30      Base address in the guest physical address space of the GICv3
31      redistributor register mappings. There are two 64K pages for each
32      VCPU and all of the redistributor pages are contiguous.
33      Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3.
34      This address needs to be 64K aligned.
35
36    KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION (rw, 64-bit)
37      The attribute data pointed to by kvm_device_attr.addr is a __u64 value::

39        bits:     | 63   ....  52  |  51   ....   16 | 15 - 12  |11 - 0
40        values:   |     count      |       base      |  flags   | index
41
42      - index encodes the unique redistributor region index
43      - flags: reserved for future use, currently 0
44      - base field encodes bits [51:16] of the guest physical base address
45        of the first redistributor in the region.
46      - count encodes the number of redistributors in the region. Must be
47        greater than 0.
48
49      There are two 64K pages for each redistributor in the region and
50      redistributors are laid out contiguously within the region. Regions
51      are filled with redistributors in the index order. The sum of all
52      region count fields must be greater than or equal to the number of
53      VCPUs. Redistributor regions must be registered in the incremental
54      index order, starting from index 0.
55
56      The characteristics of a specific redistributor region can be read
57      by presetting the index field in the attr data.
58      Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V3.

60  It is invalid to mix calls with KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST and

63  Note that to obtain reproducible results (the same VCPU being associated
64  with the same redistributor across a save/restore operation), VCPU creation
65  order, redistributor region creation order as well as the respective
66  interleaves of VCPU and region creation MUST be preserved.  Any change in
67  either ordering may result in a different vcpu_id/redistributor association,
68  resulting in a VM that will fail to run at restore time.

89
90    The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes two values::
91
92      bits:     | 63   ....  32  |  31   ....    0 |
93      values:   |      mpidr     |      offset     |
94
95    All distributor regs are (rw, 32-bit) and kvm_device_attr.addr points to a
96    __u32 value.  64-bit registers must be accessed by separately accessing the
97    lower and higher word.
98
99    Writes to read-only registers are ignored by the kernel.
100
101    KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_DIST_REGS accesses the main distributor registers.
102    KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_REDIST_REGS accesses the redistributor of the CPU
103    specified by the mpidr.
104
105    The offset is relative to the "[Re]Distributor base address" as defined
106    in the GICv3/4 specs.  Getting or setting such a register has the same
107    effect as reading or writing the register on real hardware, except for the
108    following registers: GICD_STATUSR, GICR_STATUSR, GICD_ISPENDR,
109    GICR_ISPENDR0, GICD_ICPENDR, and GICR_ICPENDR0.  These registers behave
110    differently when accessed via this interface compared to their
111    architecturally defined behavior to allow software a full view of the
112    VGIC's internal state.
113
114    The mpidr field is used to specify which
115    redistributor is accessed.  The mpidr is ignored for the distributor.
116
117    The mpidr encoding is based on the affinity information in the
118    architecture defined MPIDR, and the field is encoded as follows::
119
120      | 63 .... 56 | 55 .... 48 | 47 .... 40 | 39 .... 32 |
121      |    Aff3    |    Aff2    |    Aff1    |    Aff0    |
122
123    Note that distributor fields are not banked, but return the same value
124    regardless of the mpidr used to access the register.
125
126    Userspace is allowed to write the following register fields prior to
127    initialization of the VGIC:
128
129      * GICD_IIDR.Revision
130      * GICD_TYPER2.nASSGIcap
131
132    GICD_IIDR.Revision is updated when the KVM implementation is changed in a
133    way directly observable by the guest or userspace.  Userspace should read
134    GICD_IIDR from KVM and write back the read value to confirm its expected
135    behavior is aligned with the KVM implementation.  Userspace should set
136    GICD_IIDR before setting any other registers to ensure the expected
137    behavior.
138
139
140    GICD_TYPER2.nASSGIcap allows userspace to control the support of SGIs
141    without an active state. At VGIC creation the field resets to the
142    maximum capability of the system. Userspace is expected to read the field
143    to determine the supported value(s) before writing to the field.
144
145
146    The GICD_STATUSR and GICR_STATUSR registers are architecturally defined such
147    that a write of a clear bit has no effect, whereas a write with a set bit
148    clears that value.  To allow userspace to freely set the values of these two
149    registers, setting the attributes with the register offsets for these two
150    registers simply sets the non-reserved bits to the value written.
151
152
153    Accesses (reads and writes) to the GICD_ISPENDR register region and
154    GICR_ISPENDR0 registers get/set the value of the latched pending state for
155    the interrupts.
156
157    This is identical to the value returned by a guest read from ISPENDR for an
158    edge triggered interrupt, but may differ for level triggered interrupts.
159    For edge triggered interrupts, once an interrupt becomes pending (whether
160    because of an edge detected on the input line or because of a guest write
161    to ISPENDR) this state is "latched", and only cleared when either the
162    interrupt is activated or when the guest writes to ICPENDR. A level
163    triggered interrupt may be pending either because the level input is held
164    high by a device, or because of a guest write to the ISPENDR register. Only
165    ISPENDR writes are latched; if the device lowers the line level then the
166    interrupt is no longer pending unless the guest also wrote to ISPENDR, and
167    conversely writes to ICPENDR or activations of the interrupt do not clear
168    the pending status if the line level is still being held high.  (These
169    rules are documented in the GICv3 specification descriptions of the ICPENDR
170    and ISPENDR registers.) For a level triggered interrupt the value accessed
171    here is that of the latch which is set by ISPENDR and cleared by ICPENDR or
172    interrupt activation, whereas the value returned by a guest read from
173    ISPENDR is the logical OR of the latch value and the input line level.
174
175    Raw access to the latch state is provided to userspace so that it can save
176    and restore the entire GIC internal state (which is defined by the
177    combination of the current input line level and the latch state, and cannot
178    be deduced from purely the line level and the value of the ISPENDR
179    registers).
180
181    Accesses to GICD_ICPENDR register region and GICR_ICPENDR0 registers have
182    RAZ/WI semantics, meaning that reads always return 0 and writes are always
183    ignored.

334    The info field specifies which information userspace wants to get or set
335    using this interface.  Currently we support the following info values:
336

338	Get/Set the input level of the IRQ line for a set of 32 contiguously
339	numbered interrupts.

341	vINTID must be a multiple of 32.
342
343	kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u32 value which will contain a
344	bitmap where a set bit means the interrupt level is asserted.
345
346	Bit[n] indicates the status for interrupt vINTID + n.
347
348    SGIs and any interrupt with a higher ID than the number of interrupts
349    supported, will be RAZ/WI.  LPIs are always edge-triggered and are
