POWER9 eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine (XIVE Gen1)
==========================================================
Device types supported:
KVM_DEV_TYPE_XIVE POWER9 XIVE Interrupt Controller generation 1
This device acts as a VM interrupt controller. It provides the KVM
interface to configure the interrupt sources of a VM in the underlying
POWER9 XIVE interrupt controller.
Only one XIVE instance may be instantiated. A guest XIVE device
requires a POWER9 host and the guest OS should have support for the
XIVE native exploitation interrupt mode. If not, it should run using
the legacy interrupt mode, referred as XICS (POWER7/8).
* Groups:
1. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_CTRL
Provides global controls on the device
2. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_SOURCE (write only)
Initializes a new source in the XIVE device and mask it.
Attributes:
Interrupt source number (64-bit)
The kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value:
bits: | 63 .... 2 | 1 | 0
values: | unused | level | type
- type: 0:MSI 1:LSI
- level: assertion level in case of an LSI.
Errors:
-E2BIG: Interrupt source number is out of range
-ENOMEM: Could not create a new source block
-EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr.
-ENXIO: Could not allocate underlying HW interrupt
