2014-10-03arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: make number of irqs a configurable attributeMarc Zyngier
In order to make the number of interrupts configurable, use the new fancy device management API to add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS as a VGIC configurable attribute. Userspace can now specify the exact size of the GIC (by increments of 32 interrupts).

2013-12-21KVM: arm-vgic: Add vgic reg access from dev attrChristoffer Dall
Add infrastructure to handle distributor and cpu interface register accesses through the KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR interface by adding the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_DIST_REGS and KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_REGS groups and defining the semantics of the attr field to be the MMIO offset as specified in the GICv2 specs. Missing register accesses or other changes in individual register access functions to support save/restore of the VGIC state is added in subsequent patches.

2013-12-21KVM: arm-vgic: Set base addr through device APIChristoffer Dall
Support setting the distributor and cpu interface base addresses in the VM physical address space through the KVM_{SET,GET}_DEVICE_ATTR API in addition to the ARM specific API. This has the added benefit of being able to share more code in user space and do things in a uniform manner. Also deprecate the older API at the same time, but backwards compatibility will be maintained.

2013-12-21KVM: arm-vgic: Support KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for VGICChristoffer Dall
Support creating the ARM VGIC device through the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, which can then later be leveraged to use the KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR, which is useful both for setting addresses in a more generic API than the ARM-specific one and is useful for save/restore of VGIC state. Adds KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to ARM capabilities. Note that we change the check for creating a VGIC from bailing out if any VCPUs were created, to bailing out if any VCPUs were ever run. This is an important distinction that shouldn't break anything, but allows creating the VGIC after the VCPUs have been created.

2013-10-30kvm: Add VFIO deviceAlex Williamson
So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

2013-05-02KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add API for in-kernel XICS emulationPaul Mackerras
This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS. The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES. Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt source number. This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Support irq routing and irqfd for in-kernel MPICAlexander Graf
Now that all the irq routing and irqfd pieces are generic, we can expose real irqchip support to all of KVM's internal helpers. This allows us to use irqfd with the in-kernel MPIC. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

2013-04-26kvm: add device control APIScott Wood
Currently, devices that are emulated inside KVM are configured in a hardcoded manner based on an assumption that any given architecture only has one way to do it. If there's any need to access device state, it is done through inflexible one-purpose-only IOCTLs (e.g. KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC). Defining new IOCTLs for every little thing is cumbersome and depletes a limited numberspace. This API provides a mechanism to instantiate a device of a certain type, returning an ID that can be used to set/get attributes of the device. Attributes may include configuration parameters (e.g. register base address), device state, operational commands, etc. It is similar to the ONE_REG API, except that it acts on devices rather than vcpus. Both device types and individual attributes can be tested without having to create the device or get/set the attribute, without the need for separately managing enumerated capabilities.
