-VMbus interrupts
+Synthetic Interrupt Controller (synic)
+--------------------------------------
+Hyper-V provides each guest CPU with a synthetic interrupt controller
+that is used by VMBus for host-guest communication. While each synic
+defines 16 synthetic interrupts (SINT), Linux uses only one of the 16
+(VMBUS_MESSAGE_SINT). All interrupts related to communication between
+the Hyper-V host and a guest CPU use that SINT.
+
+The SINT is mapped to a single per-CPU architectural interrupt (i.e,
+an 8-bit x86/x64 interrupt vector, or an arm64 PPI INTID). Because
+each CPU in the guest has a synic and may receive VMBus interrupts,
+they are best modeled in Linux as per-CPU interrupts. This model works
+well on arm64 where a single per-CPU Linux IRQ is allocated for
+VMBUS_MESSAGE_SINT. This IRQ appears in /proc/interrupts as an IRQ labelled
+"Hyper-V VMbus". Since x86/x64 lacks support for per-CPU IRQs, an x86
+interrupt vector is statically allocated (HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR)
+across all CPUs and explicitly coded to call vmbus_isr(). In this case,
+there's no Linux IRQ, and the interrupts are visible in aggregate in
+/proc/interrupts on the "HYP" line.
+
+The synic provides the means to demultiplex the architectural interrupt into
+one or more logical interrupts and route the logical interrupt to the proper
+VMBus handler in Linux. This demultiplexing is done by vmbus_isr() and
+related functions that access synic data structures.
+
+The synic is not modeled in Linux as an irq chip or irq domain,
+and the demultiplexed logical interrupts are not Linux IRQs. As such,
+they don't appear in /proc/interrupts or /proc/irq. The CPU
+affinity for one of these logical interrupts is controlled via an
+entry under /sys/bus/vmbus as described below.

+ARM firmware pseudo-registers interface
+=======================================
+
+KVM handles the hypercall services as requested by the guests. New hypercall
+services are regularly made available by the ARM specification or by KVM (as
+vendor services) if they make sense from a virtualization point of view.
+
+This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can observe
+two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if a given guest
+is tied to a particular version of a hypercall service, or if a migration
+causes a different version to be exposed out of the blue to an unsuspecting
+guest.
+
+In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
+pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
+interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set
+to a convenient value as required.
+
+The following registers are defined:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION:
+
+ KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface)
+ specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset
+ and power-off to the guest.
+
+ - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set
+ (and thus has already been initialized)
+ - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the
+ highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2)
+ - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with
+ v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG
+ - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu)
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1:
+ Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2017-5715, as
+ offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
+ under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 in [1].
+
+ Accepted values are:
+

+ KVM does not offer
+ firmware support for the workaround. The mitigation status for the
+ guest is unknown.

+ available to the guest and required for the mitigation.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_REQUIRED:

-ARM Hypercall Interface
-=======================
-
-KVM handles the hypercall services as requested by the guests. New hypercall
-services are regularly made available by the ARM specification or by KVM (as
-vendor services) if they make sense from a virtualization point of view.
-
-This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can observe
-two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if a given guest
-is tied to a particular version of a hypercall service, or if a migration
-causes a different version to be exposed out of the blue to an unsuspecting
-guest.
-
-In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
-pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
-interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set
-to a convenient value as required.
-
-The following registers are defined:
-
-* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION:
-
- KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface)
- specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset
- and power-off to the guest.
-
- - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set
- (and thus has already been initialized)
- - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the
- highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2)
- - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with
- v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG
- - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu)
-
-* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1:
- Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2017-5715, as
- offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
- under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 in [1].
-
- Accepted values are:
-
- KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_AVAIL:
- KVM does not offer
- firmware support for the workaround. The mitigation status for the
- guest is unknown.
- KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_AVAIL:
- The workaround HVC call is
- available to the guest and required for the mitigation.
- KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_REQUIRED:
- The workaround HVC call
- is available to the guest, but it is not needed on this VCPU.
-
-* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2:
- Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2018-3639, as
- offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described

+The KVM_SEV_INIT2 command is used by the hypervisor to initialize the SEV platform
context. In a typical workflow, this command should be the first command issued.
+For this command to be accepted, either KVM_X86_SEV_VM or KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM
+must have been passed to the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. A virtual machine created
+with those machine types in turn cannot be run until KVM_SEV_INIT2 is invoked.

+ __u32 flags; /* must be 0 */
+ __u16 ghcb_version; /* maximum guest GHCB version allowed */
+ __u16 pad1;
+ __u32 pad2[8];
+ };
+
+It is an error if the hypervisor does not support any of the bits that
+are set in ``flags`` or ``vmsa_features``. ``vmsa_features`` must be
+0 for SEV virtual machines, as they do not have a VMSA.
+
+``ghcb_version`` must be 0 for SEV virtual machines, as they do not issue GHCB
+requests. If ``ghcb_version`` is 0 for any other guest type, then the maximum
+allowed guest GHCB protocol will default to version 2.
+
+This command replaces the deprecated KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT commands.
+The commands did not have any parameters (the ```data``` field was unused) and
+only work for the KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM machine type (0).
+
+They behave as if:
+
+* the VM type is KVM_X86_SEV_VM for KVM_SEV_INIT, or KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM for
+ KVM_SEV_ES_INIT

+
+If the ``KVM_X86_SEV_VMSA_FEATURES`` attribute does not exist, the hypervisor only
+supports KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT. In that case, note that KVM_SEV_ES_INIT
