[PATCH v8 15/15] ARM: KVM: Guest wait-for-interrupts (WFI) support

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

 



From: Christoffer Dall <cdall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When the guest executes a WFI instruction the operation is trapped to
KVM, which emulates the instruction in software. There is no correlation
between a guest executing a WFI instruction and actually putting the
hardware into a low-power mode, since a KVM guest is essentially a
process and the WFI instruction can be seen as 'sleep' call from this
process. Therefore, we flag the VCPU to be in wait_for_interrupts mode
and call the main KVM function kvm_vcpu_block() function. This function
will put the thread on a wait-queue and call schedule.

When an interrupt comes in through KVM_IRQ_LINE (see previous patch) we
signal the VCPU thread and unflag the VCPU to no longer wait for
interrupts. All calls to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() result in a call to
kvm_vcpu_block() as long as the VCPU is in wfi-mode.
