The created +MPIC will act as the system interrupt controller, connecting to each +vcpu's interrupt inputs. + +Groups: + KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_MISC + Attributes: + + KVM_DEV_MPIC_BASE_ADDR (rw, 64-bit) + Base address of the 256 KiB MPIC register space. Must be + naturally aligned. A value of zero disables the mapping. + Reset value is zero. + + KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_REGISTER (rw, 32-bit) + Access an MPIC register, as if the access were made from the guest. + "attr" is the byte offset into the MPIC register space. Accesses + must be 4-byte aligned. + + MSIs may be signaled by using this attribute group to write + to the relevant MSIIR. + + KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_IRQ_ACTIVE (rw, 32-bit) + IRQ input line for each standard openpic source. 0 is inactive and 1 + is active, regardless of interrupt sense. + + For edge-triggered interrupts: Writing 1 is considered an activating + edge, and writing 0 is ignored. Reading returns 1 if a previously + signaled edge has not been acknowledged, and 0 otherwise. + + "attr" is the IRQ number. IRQ numbers for standard sources are the + byte offset of the relevant IVPR from EIVPR0, divided by 32. + +IRQ Routing: + + The MPIC emulation supports IRQ routing. Only a single MPIC device can + be instantiated. Once that device has been created, it's available as + irqchip id 0. + + This irqchip 0 has 256 interrupt pins, which expose the interrupts in + the main array of interrupt sources (a.k.a. "SRC" interrupts). + + The numbering is the same as the MPIC device tree binding -- based on + the register offset from the beginning of the sources array, without + regard to any subdivisions in chip documentation such as "internal" + or "external" interrupts. + + Access to non-SRC interrupts is not implemented through IRQ routing mechanisms. |
