This patch series enables irqfd on arm and arm64. Irqfd framework enables to inject a virtual IRQ into a guest upon an eventfd trigger. User-side uses KVM_IRQFD VM ioctl to provide KVM with a kvm_irqfd struct that associates a VM, an eventfd, a virtual IRQ number (aka. the gsi). When an actor signals the eventfd (typically a VFIO platform driver), the kvm irqfd subsystem injects the gsi into the VM. Resamplefd also is supported for level sensitive interrupts, ie. the user can provide another eventfd that is triggered when the completion of the virtual IRQ (gsi) is detected by the GIC. The gsi must correspond to a shared peripheral interrupt (SPI), ie the GIC interrupt ID is gsi + 32. The rationale behind not supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for irqfds. this patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD. No IRQ routing table is used, enabling to remove CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP can be found at git://git.linaro.org/people/eric.auger/linux.git on branch irqfd_integ_v8 This work was tested with Calxeda Midway xgmac main interrupt with qemu-system-arm and QEMU VFIO platform device. Also irqfd was proven functional on several vhost-net prototypes. v3 -> v4: - rebase on 3.18rc5 - vgic dynamic instantiation brought new challenges: handling of irqfd injection when vgic is not ready - unset of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP in a separate patch - add arm64 enable - vgic.c style modifications according to Christoffer comments v2 -> v3: - removal of irq.h from eventfd.c put in a separate patch to increase visibility - properly expose KVM_CAP_IRQFD capability in arm.c - remove CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP meaningfull only if irq_comm.c is used v1 -> v2: - rebase on 3.17rc1 - move of the dist unlock in process_maintenance - remove of dist lock in __kvm_vgic_sync_hwstate - rewording of the commit message (add resamplefd reference) - remove irq.h Eric Auger (2): KVM: arm/arm64: unset CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP KVM: arm: add irqfd support Joel Schopp (1): KVM: arm64: add irqfd support Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt | 5 ++- arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 3 ++ arch/arm/kvm/Kconfig | 4 +-- arch/arm/kvm/Makefile | 2 +- arch/arm/kvm/arm.c | 3 ++ arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 3 ++ arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/Makefile | 2 +- virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 9 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
