ITS tables into/from memory.
Signed-off-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
v6 -> v7:
- rephrase ordering sequence + few cosmetic changes
v5 -> v6:
- add restoration ordering
- 256B -> 256 Byte aligned
- DTE Size is number of bits for the EVENTID
- s/GITS_READR/GITS_CREADR
v4 -> v5:
- take into account Christoffer's comments
- pending table save on GICV3 side now
v3 -> v4:
- take into account Peter's comments:
- typos
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_TABLES kvm_device_attr = 0
- add a validity bit in DTE
- document all fields in CTE and ITE
- document ABI revision
- take into account Andre's comments:
- document restrictions about GITS_CREADR writing and GITS_IIDR
- document -EBUSY error if one or more VCPUS are runnning
- document 64b registers only can be accessed with 64b access
- itt_addr field matches bits [51:8] of the itt_addr
v1 -> v2:
- DTE and ITE now are 8 bytes
- DTE and ITE now indexed by deviceid/eventid
- use ITE name instead of ITTE
- mentions ITT_addr matches bits [51:8] of the actual address
- mentions LE layout

KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT
request the initialization of the ITS, no additional parameter in
kvm_device_attr.addr.
+
+ 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
+
+ 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) initialize the ITS and then provide its base address
+ (KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT, 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 physical LPIs.
+
+ The device table and ITT are indexed by the deviceid and eventid,
+ respectively. The collection table is not indexed by collectionid:
+ CTEs are written in the table in the order of collection creation. 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. If not, other fields are
+ not meaningful.
+ - RES0: reserved field with Should-Be-Zero-or-Preserved behavior.
+ - RDBase is the PE number (GICR_TYPER.Processor_Number semantic),
+ - ICID is the collection ID
+
+ Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE):
+
+ bits: | 63 ... 48 | 47 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
+ values: | next | pINTID | ICID |
+
+ where:
+ - next: equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it corresponds
+ to the eventid offset to the next ITE capped by 2^16 -1.
+ - pINTID is the physical LPI ID; if zero, it means the entry is not valid
+ and other fields are not meaningful.
+ - ICID is the collection ID
