Getting or setting such a register has the same + effect as reading or writing the register on real hardware, except for the + following registers: GICD_STATUSR, GICR_STATUSR, GICD_ISPENDR, + GICR_ISPENDR0, GICD_ICPENDR, and GICR_ICPENDR0. These registers behave + differently when accessed via this interface compared to their + architecturally defined behavior to allow software a full view of the + VGIC's internal state. + + The mpidr field is used to specify which + redistributor is accessed. The mpidr is ignored for the distributor. + + The mpidr encoding is based on the affinity information in the + architecture defined MPIDR, and the field is encoded as follows:: + + | 63 .... 56 | 55 .... 48 | 47 .... 40 | 39 .... 32 | + | Aff3 | Aff2 | Aff1 | Aff0 | + + Note that distributor fields are not banked, but return the same value + regardless of the mpidr used to access the register. + + GICD_IIDR.Revision is updated when the KVM implementation is changed in a + way directly observable by the guest or userspace. Userspace should read + GICD_IIDR from KVM and write back the read value to confirm its expected + behavior is aligned with the KVM implementation. Userspace should set + GICD_IIDR before setting any other registers to ensure the expected + behavior. + + + The GICD_STATUSR and GICR_STATUSR registers are architecturally defined such + that a write of a clear bit has no effect, whereas a write with a set bit + clears that value. To allow userspace to freely set the values of these two + registers, setting the attributes with the register offsets for these two + registers simply sets the non-reserved bits to the value written. + + + Accesses (reads and writes) to the GICD_ISPENDR register region and + GICR_ISPENDR0 registers get/set the value of the latched pending state for + the interrupts. + + This is identical to the value returned by a guest read from ISPENDR for an + edge triggered interrupt, but may differ for level triggered interrupts. + For edge triggered interrupts, once an interrupt becomes pending (whether + because of an edge detected on the input line or because of a guest write + to ISPENDR) this state is "latched", and only cleared when either the + interrupt is activated or when the guest writes to ICPENDR. A level + triggered interrupt may be pending either because the level input is held + high by a device, or because of a guest write to the ISPENDR register. Only + ISPENDR writes are latched; if the device lowers the line level then the + interrupt is no longer pending unless the guest also wrote to ISPENDR, and + conversely writes to ICPENDR or activations of the interrupt do not clear + the pending status if the line level is still being held high. (These + rules are documented in the GICv3 specification descriptions of the ICPENDR + and ISPENDR registers.) For a level triggered interrupt the value accessed + here is that of the latch which is set by ISPENDR and cleared by ICPENDR or + interrupt activation, whereas the value returned by a guest read from + ISPENDR is the logical OR of the latch value and the input line level. + + Raw access to the latch state is provided to userspace so that it can save + and restore the entire GIC internal state (which is defined by the + combination of the current input line level and the latch state, and cannot + be deduced from purely the line level and the value of the ISPENDR + registers). + + Accesses to GICD_ICPENDR register region and GICR_ICPENDR0 registers have + RAZ/WI semantics, meaning that reads always return 0 and writes are always + ignored. + + Errors: + + ====== ===================================================== + -ENXIO Getting or setting this register is not yet supported + -EBUSY One or more VCPUs are running + ====== ===================================================== + + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS + Attributes: + + The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes two values:: + + bits: | 63 .... 32 | 31 .... 16 | 15 .... 0 | + values: | mpidr | RES | instr | + + The mpidr field encodes the CPU ID based on the affinity information in the + architecture defined MPIDR, and the field is encoded as follows:: + + | 63 .... 56 | 55 .... 48 | 47 .... 40 | 39 .... 32 | + | Aff3 | Aff2 | Aff1 | Aff0 | + + The instr field encodes the system register to access based on the fields + defined in the A64 instruction set encoding for system register access + (RES means the bits are reserved for future use and should be zero):: + + | 15 ... 14 | 13 ... 11 | 10 ... 7 | 6 ... 3 | 2 ... 0 | + | Op 0 | Op1 | CRn | CRm | Op2 | + + All system regs accessed through this API are (rw, 64-bit) and + kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value. + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS accesses the CPU interface registers for the + CPU specified by the mpidr field. + + CPU interface registers access is not implemented for AArch32 mode. + Error -ENXIO is returned when accessed in AArch32 mode. + + Errors: + + ======= ===================================================== + -ENXIO Getting or setting this register is not yet supported + -EBUSY VCPU is running + -EINVAL Invalid mpidr or register value supplied + ======= ===================================================== + + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS + Attributes: + + A value describing the number of interrupts (SGI, PPI and SPI) for + this GIC instance, ranging from 64 to 1024, in increments of 32. + + kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u32 value. + + Errors: + + ======= ====================================== + -EINVAL Value set is out of the expected range + -EBUSY Value has already be set. + ======= ====================================== + + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL + Attributes: + + KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT + request the initialization of the VGIC, no additional parameter in + kvm_device_attr.addr.
