Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virt
Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that. Fixes: ed16648eb5b8 ("Move kvm, uml, and lguest subdirectories under a common "virtual" directory, I.E:") Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

-ARM Virtual Interrupt Translation Service (ITS)
-===============================================
-
-Device types supported:
- KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_ITS ARM Interrupt Translation Service Controller
-
-The ITS allows MSI(-X) interrupts to be injected into guests. This extension is
-optional. Creating a virtual ITS controller also requires a host GICv3 (see
-arm-vgic-v3.txt), but does not depend on having physical ITS controllers.
-
-There can be multiple ITS controllers per guest, each of them has to have
-a separate, non-overlapping MMIO region.
-
-
-Groups:
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR
- Attributes:
- KVM_VGIC_ITS_ADDR_TYPE (rw, 64-bit)
- Base address in the guest physical address space of the GICv3 ITS
- control register frame.
- This address needs to be 64K aligned and the region covers 128K.
- Errors:
- -E2BIG: Address outside of addressable IPA range
- -EINVAL: Incorrectly aligned address
- -EEXIST: Address already configured
- -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
- -ENODEV: Incorrect attribute or the ITS is not supported.
-
-
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL
- Attributes:
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT
- request the initialization of the ITS, no additional parameter in
- kvm_device_attr.addr.
-
- KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET
- reset the ITS, no additional parameter in kvm_device_attr.addr.
- See "ITS Reset State" section.
-
- KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES
- save the ITS table data into guest RAM, at the location provisioned
- by the guest in corresponding registers/table entries.
-
- The layout of the tables in guest memory defines an ABI. The entries
- are laid out in little endian format as described in the last paragraph.
-
- KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES
- restore the ITS tables from guest RAM to ITS internal structures.
-
- The GICV3 must be restored before the ITS and all ITS registers but
- the GITS_CTLR must be restored before restoring the ITS tables.
-
- The GITS_IIDR read-only register must also be restored before
- calling KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES as the IIDR revision field
- encodes the ABI revision.
-
- The expected ordering when restoring the GICv3/ITS is described in section
- "ITS Restore Sequence".
-
- Errors:
- -ENXIO: ITS not properly configured as required prior to setting
- this attribute
- -ENOMEM: Memory shortage when allocating ITS internal data
- -EINVAL: Inconsistent restored data
- -EFAULT: Invalid guest ram access
- -EBUSY: One or more VCPUS are running
- -EACCES: The virtual ITS is backed by a physical GICv4 ITS, and the
- state is not available
-
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_REGS
- Attributes:
- The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes the offset of the
- ITS register, relative to the ITS control frame base address
- (ITS_base).
-
- kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value whatever the width
- of the addressed register (32/64 bits). 64 bit registers can only
- be accessed with full length.
-
- Writes to read-only registers are ignored by the kernel except for:
- - GITS_CREADR. It must be restored otherwise commands in the queue
- will be re-executed after restoring CWRITER. GITS_CREADR must be
- restored before restoring the GITS_CTLR which is likely to enable the
- ITS. Also it must be restored after GITS_CBASER since a write to
- GITS_CBASER resets GITS_CREADR.
- - GITS_IIDR. The Revision field encodes the table layout ABI revision.
- In the future we might implement direct injection of virtual LPIs.
- This will require an upgrade of the table layout and an evolution of
- the ABI. GITS_IIDR must be restored before calling
- KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES.
-
- For other registers, getting or setting a register has the same
- effect as reading/writing the register on real hardware.
- Errors:
- -ENXIO: Offset does not correspond to any supported register
- -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr
- -EINVAL: Offset is not 64-bit aligned
- -EBUSY: one or more VCPUS are running
-
- ITS Restore Sequence:
- -------------------------
-
-The following ordering must be followed when restoring the GIC and the ITS:
-a) restore all guest memory and create vcpus
-b) restore all redistributors
-c) provide the ITS base address
- (KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR)
-d) restore the ITS in the following order:
- 1. Restore GITS_CBASER
- 2. Restore all other GITS_ registers, except GITS_CTLR!
- 3. Load the ITS table data (KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_RESTORE_TABLES)
- 4. Restore GITS_CTLR
-
-Then vcpus can be started.
-
- ITS Table ABI REV0:
- -------------------
-
- Revision 0 of the ABI only supports the features of a virtual GICv3, and does
- not support a virtual GICv4 with support for direct injection of virtual
- interrupts for nested hypervisors.
-
- The device table and ITT are indexed by the DeviceID and EventID,
- respectively. The collection table is not indexed by CollectionID, and the
- entries in the collection are listed in no particular order.
- All entries are 8 bytes.
-
- Device Table Entry (DTE):
-
- bits: | 63| 62 ... 49 | 48 ... 5 | 4 ... 0 |
- values: | V | next | ITT_addr | Size |
-
- where;
- - V indicates whether the entry is valid. If not, other fields
- are not meaningful.
- - next: equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it
- corresponds to the DeviceID offset to the next DTE, capped by
- 2^14 -1.
- - ITT_addr matches bits [51:8] of the ITT address (256 Byte aligned).
- - Size specifies the supported number of bits for the EventID,
- minus one
-
- Collection Table Entry (CTE):
-
- bits: | 63| 62 .. 52 | 51 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
- values: | V | RES0 | RDBase | ICID |
-
- where:
- - V indicates whether the entry is valid. If not, other fields are
- not meaningful.
- - RES0: reserved field with Should-Be-Zero-or-Preserved behavior.
- - RDBase is the PE number (GICR_TYPER.Processor_Number semantic),
- - ICID is the collection ID
-
- Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE):
-
- bits: | 63 ... 48 | 47 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
- values: | next | pINTID | ICID |
-
- where:
- - next: equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it corresponds
- to the EventID offset to the next ITE capped by 2^16 -1.
- - pINTID is the physical LPI ID; if zero, it means the entry is not valid
- and other fields are not meaningful.
- - ICID is the collection ID
-
- ITS Reset State:
- ----------------
-
-RESET returns the ITS to the same state that it was when first created and
-initialized. When the RESET command returns, the following things are
-guaranteed:
-
-- The ITS is not enabled and quiescent
- GITS_CTLR.Enabled = 0 .Quiescent=1
-- There is no internally cached state
-- No collection or device table are used
- GITS_BASER<n>.Valid = 0
-- GITS_CBASER = 0, GITS_CREADR = 0, GITS_CWRITER = 0
-- The ABI version is unchanged and remains the one set when the ITS
- device was first created.
