* Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virtChristoph Hellwig2019-07-241-181/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* KVM: arm/arm64: GICv4: Prevent a VM using GICv4 from being savedMarc Zyngier2017-11-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GICv4 architecture doesn't make it easy for save/restore to work, as it doesn't give any guarantee that the pending state is written into the pending table. So let's not take any chance, and let's return an error if we encounter any LPI that has the HW bit set. In order for userspace to distinguish this error from other failure modes, use -EACCES as an error code.

* KVM: arm/arm64: Document KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESETEric Auger2017-11-061-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, the in-kernel emulated ITS is not properly reset. On guest restart/reset some registers keep their old values and internal structures like device, ITE, and collection lists are not freed. This may lead to various bugs. Among them, we can have incorrect state backup or failure when saving the ITS state at early guest boot stage. This patch documents a new attribute, KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET in the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group. Upon this action, we can reset registers and especially those pointing to tables previously allocated by the guest and free the internal data structures storing the list of devices, collections and lpis. The usual approach for device reset of having userspace write the reset values of the registers to the kernel via the register read/write APIs doesn't work for the ITS because it has some internal state (caches) which is not exposed as registers, and there is no register interface for "drop cached data without writing it back to RAM". So we need a KVM API which mimics the hardware's reset line, to provide the equivalent behaviour to a "pull the power cord out of the back of the machine" reset.

* KVM: arm/arm64: Clarification and relaxation to ITS save/restore ABIChristoffer Dall2017-05-091-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify what is meant by the save/restore ABI only supporting virtual physical interrupts. Relax the requirement of the order that the collection entries are written in and be clear that there is no particular ordering enforced. Some cosmetic changes in the capitalization of ID names to align with the GICv3 manual and remove the empty line in the bottom of the patch.

* KVM: arm/arm64: Add VGICv3 save/restore API documentationChristoffer Dall2016-09-081-0/+38
Factor out the GICv3 and ITS-specific documentation into a separate documentation file. Add description for how to access distributor, redistributor, and CPU interface registers for GICv3 in this new file, and add a group for accessing level triggered IRQ information for GICv3 as well.
