+Copies Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) tags to/from guest tag memory. The

+The size of the buffer to store the tags is ``(length / 16)`` bytes
+(granules in MTE are 16 bytes long). Each byte contains a single tag
+value. This matches the format of ``PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS`` and

+ ====== ======================================================
+
+The returned file descriptor can be used to read VM/vCPU statistics data in
+binary format. The data in the file descriptor consists of four blocks
+organized as follows:
+
++-------------+
+| Header |
++-------------+
+| id string |
++-------------+
+| Descriptors |
++-------------+
+| Stats Data |
++-------------+
+
+Apart from the header starting at offset 0, please be aware that it is
+not guaranteed that the four blocks are adjacent or in the above order;
+the offsets of the id, descriptors and data blocks are found in the
+header. However, all four blocks are aligned to 64 bit offsets in the
+file and they do not overlap.
+
+All blocks except the data block are immutable. Userspace can read them
+only one time after retrieving the file descriptor, and then use ``pread`` or
+``lseek`` to read the statistics repeatedly.
+
+All data is in system endianness.
+
+The format of the header is as follows::
+
+ struct kvm_stats_header {
+ __u32 flags;
+ __u32 name_size;
+ __u32 num_desc;
+ __u32 id_offset;
+ __u32 desc_offset;
+ __u32 data_offset;
+ };
+
+The ``flags`` field is not used at the moment. It is always read as 0.
+
+The ``name_size`` field is the size (in byte) of the statistics name string
+(including trailing '\0') which is contained in the "id string" block and
+appended at the end of every descriptor.
+
+The ``num_desc`` field is the number of descriptors that are included in the
+descriptor block. (The actual number of values in the data block may be
+larger, since each descriptor may comprise more than one value).
+
+The ``id_offset`` field is the offset of the id string from the start of the
+file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
+
+The ``desc_offset`` field is the offset of the Descriptors block from the start
+of the file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
+
+The ``data_offset`` field is the offset of the Stats Data block from the start
+of the file indicated by the file descriptor. It is a multiple of 8.
+
+The id string block contains a string which identifies the file descriptor on
+which KVM_GET_STATS_FD was invoked. The size of the block, including the
+trailing ``'\0'``, is indicated by the ``name_size`` field in the header.
+
+The descriptors block is only needed to be read once for the lifetime of the
+file descriptor contains a sequence of ``struct kvm_stats_desc``, each followed
+by a string of size ``name_size``.

+
+The ``flags`` field contains the type and unit of the statistics data described
+by this descriptor. Its endianness is CPU native.
+The following flags are supported:
+
+Bits 0-3 of ``flags`` encode the type:
+ * ``KVM_STATS_TYPE_CUMULATIVE``
+ The statistics data is cumulative. The value of data can only be increased.
+ Most of the counters used in KVM are of this type.
+ The corresponding ``size`` field for this type is always 1.
+ All cumulative statistics data are read/write.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_TYPE_INSTANT``
+ The statistics data is instantaneous. Its value can be increased or
+ decreased. This type is usually used as a measurement of some resources,
+ like the number of dirty pages, the number of large pages, etc.
+ All instant statistics are read only.
+ The corresponding ``size`` field for this type is always 1.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_TYPE_PEAK``
+ The statistics data is peak. The value of data can only be increased, and
+ represents a peak value for a measurement, for example the maximum number
+ of items in a hash table bucket, the longest time waited and so on.
+ The corresponding ``size`` field for this type is always 1.
+
+Bits 4-7 of ``flags`` encode the unit:
+ * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_NONE``
+ There is no unit for the value of statistics data. This usually means that
+ the value is a simple counter of an event.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_BYTES``
+ It indicates that the statistics data is used to measure memory size, in the
+ unit of Byte, KiByte, MiByte, GiByte, etc. The unit of the data is
+ determined by the ``exponent`` field in the descriptor.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_SECONDS``
+ It indicates that the statistics data is used to measure time or latency.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_CYCLES``
+ It indicates that the statistics data is used to measure CPU clock cycles.
+
+Bits 8-11 of ``flags``, together with ``exponent``, encode the scale of the
+unit:
+ * ``KVM_STATS_BASE_POW10``
+ The scale is based on power of 10. It is used for measurement of time and
+ CPU clock cycles. For example, an exponent of -9 can be used with
+ ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_SECONDS`` to express that the unit is nanoseconds.
+ * ``KVM_STATS_BASE_POW2``
+ The scale is based on power of 2. It is used for measurement of memory size.
+ For example, an exponent of 20 can be used with ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_BYTES`` to
+ express that the unit is MiB.
+
+The ``size`` field is the number of values of this statistics data. Its
+value is usually 1 for most of simple statistics. 1 means it contains an
+unsigned 64bit data.
+
+The ``offset`` field is the offset from the start of Data Block to the start of
+the corresponding statistics data.
+
+The ``unused`` field is reserved for future support for other types of
+statistics data, like log/linear histogram. Its value is always 0 for the types
+defined above.
+
+The ``name`` field is the name string of the statistics data. The name string
+starts at the end of ``struct kvm_stats_desc``. The maximum length including
+the trailing ``'\0'``, is indicated by ``name_size`` in the header.
+
+The Stats Data block contains an array of 64-bit values in the same order
+as the descriptors in Descriptors block.

+-------------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_PPC_RPT_INVALIDATE
+:Architectures: ppc
+:Type: vm
+
+This capability indicates that the kernel is capable of handling
+H_RPT_INVALIDATE hcall.
+
+In order to enable the use of H_RPT_INVALIDATE in the guest,
+user space might have to advertise it for the guest. For example,
+IBM pSeries (sPAPR) guest starts using it if "hcall-rpt-invalidate" is

+7.27 KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE
+--------------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: x86
+:Parameters: args[0] whether the feature should be enabled or not
+
+When this capability is enabled, an emulation failure will result in an exit
+to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR (except when the emulator was invoked
+to handle a VMware backdoor instruction). Furthermore, KVM will now provide up
+to 15 instruction bytes for any exit to userspace resulting from an emulation
+failure. When these exits to userspace occur use the emulation_failure struct
+instead of the internal struct. They both have the same layout, but the
+emulation_failure struct matches the content better. It also explicitly
+defines the 'flags' field which is used to describe the fields in the struct
+that are valid (ie: if KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION_FLAG_INSTRUCTION_BYTES is
+set in the 'flags' field then both 'insn_size' and 'insn_bytes' have valid data
+in them.)
+
+7.28 KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE
+--------------------

+:Architectures: arm64
+:Parameters: none
+
+This capability indicates that KVM (and the hardware) supports exposing the
+Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to the guest. It must also be enabled by the
+VMM before creating any VCPUs to allow the guest access. Note that MTE is only
+available to a guest running in AArch64 mode and enabling this capability will
+cause attempts to create AArch32 VCPUs to fail.
+
+When enabled the guest is able to access tags associated with any memory given
+to the guest. KVM will ensure that the tags are maintained during swap or
+hibernation of the host; however the VMM needs to manually save/restore the
+tags as appropriate if the VM is migrated.
+
+When this capability is enabled all memory in memslots must be mapped as
+not-shareable (no MAP_SHARED), attempts to create a memslot with a
+MAP_SHARED mmap will result in an -EINVAL return.
