Merge branch kvm-arm64/writable-id-regs into kvmarm/next
* kvm-arm64/writable-id-regs:
: Writable ID registers, courtesy of Jing Zhang
:
: This series significantly expands the architectural feature set that
: userspace can manipulate via the ID registers. A new ioctl is defined
: that makes the mutable fields in the ID registers discoverable to
: userspace.

KVM initializes +the guest's ID registers to the maximum set of CPU features supported by the +system. The ID register values may be VM-scoped in KVM, meaning that the +values could be shared for all vCPUs in a VM. + +KVM allows userspace to *opt-out* of certain CPU features described by the ID +registers by writing values to them via the ``KVM_SET_ONE_REG`` ioctl. The ID +registers are mutable until the VM has started, i.e. userspace has called +``KVM_RUN`` on at least one vCPU in the VM. Userspace can discover what fields +are mutable in the ID registers using the ``KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS``. +See the :ref:`ioctl documentation <KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS>` for more +details. + +Userspace is allowed to *limit* or *mask* CPU features according to the rules +outlined by the architecture in DDI0487J.a D19.1.3 'Principles of the ID +scheme for fields in ID register'. KVM does not allow ID register values that +exceed the capabilities of the system. + +.. warning:: + It is **strongly recommended** that userspace modify the ID register values + before accessing the rest of the vCPU's CPU register state. KVM may use the + ID register values to control feature emulation. Interleaving ID register + modification with other system register accesses may lead to unpredictable + behavior. |
