Generic vcpu interface ==================================== The virtual cpu "device" also accepts the ioctls KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR, KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR, and KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR. The interface uses the same struct kvm_device_attr as other devices, but targets VCPU-wide settings and controls. The groups and attributes per virtual cpu, if any, are architecture specific. 1. GROUP: KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL Architectures: ARM64 1.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ Parameters: in kvm_device_attr.addr the address for PMU overflow interrupt is a pointer to an int Returns: -EBUSY: The PMU overflow interrupt is already set -ENXIO: The overflow interrupt not set when attempting to get it -ENODEV: PMUv3 not supported -EINVAL: Invalid PMU overflow interrupt number supplied or trying to set the IRQ number without using an in-kernel irqchip. A value describing the PMUv3 (Performance Monitor Unit v3) overflow interrupt number for this vcpu. This interrupt could be a PPI or SPI, but the interrupt type must be same for each vcpu. As a PPI, the interrupt number is the same for all vcpus, while as an SPI it must be a separate number per vcpu. 1.2 ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT Parameters: no additional parameter in kvm_device_attr.addr Returns: -ENODEV: PMUv3 not supported or GIC not initialized -ENXIO: PMUv3 not properly configured or in-kernel irqchip not configured as required prior to calling this attribute -EBUSY: PMUv3 already initialized Request the initialization of the PMUv3. If using the PMUv3 with an in-kernel virtual GIC implementation, this must be done after initializing the in-kernel irqchip. 2. GROUP: KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL Architectures: ARM,ARM64 2.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_IRQ_VTIMER 2.2. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_IRQ_PTIMER Parameters: in kvm_device_attr.addr the address for the timer interrupt is a pointer to an int Returns: -EINVAL: Invalid timer interrupt number -EBUSY: One or more VCPUs has already run A value describing the architected timer interrupt number when connected to an in-kernel virtual GIC. These must be a PPI (16 <= intid < 32). Setting the attribute overrides the default values (see below). KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_IRQ_VTIMER: The EL1 virtual timer intid (default: 27) KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_IRQ_PTIMER: The EL1 physical timer intid (default: 30) Setting the same PPI for different timers will prevent the VCPUs from running. Setting the interrupt number on a VCPU configures all VCPUs created at that time to use the number provided for a given timer, overwriting any previously configured values on other VCPUs. Userspace should configure the interrupt numbers on at least one VCPU after creating all VCPUs and before running any VCPUs.
