SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============================================== +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.

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. |
