[PATCH v3] KVM: PPC: Report single stepping capability

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

 



When calling the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG ioctl, userspace might request
the next instruction to be single stepped via the
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP control bit of the kvm_guest_debug structure.

This patch adds the KVM_CAP_PPC_GUEST_DEBUG_SSTEP capability in order
to inform userspace about the state of single stepping support.

We currently don't have support for guest single stepping implemented
in Book3S HV so the capability is only present for Book3S PR and
BookE.

v1 -> v2:
 - add capability description to Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt

v2 -> v3:
 - be explicit in the commit message about when the capability is
   present
 - remove unnecessary check for CONFIG_BOOKE
