[PATCH kvmtool 0/2] Add GICv2m support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



GICv2m is an extension to GICv2 defined in the Server Base System
Architecture (SBSA) [1], allowing pre-GICv3 platforms to support MSIs.

Presenting GICv2m frames to the guest can be useful for testing PCI
pass-through on platforms that have a GICv2m, for example AMD Seattle.
Otherwise they are forced to use legacy INTx.

This series adds a GICv2m frame to kvmtool, which is basically an MMIO
register telling the guest which SPIs (Shared Peripheral Interrupts) are
reserved for MSIs. When configuring MSI vectors, the guest writes the
desired SPI number into the MSI data field. Then in kvmtool we create
the IRQFD routes such that they inject the given SPI.
