[RFC PATCH 1/3] KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_INIT_IRQCHIP ioctl

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

 



Used to initialize the in-kernel interrupt controller. On ARM we need to
map the virtual generic interrupt controller (vGIC) into Hyp the guest's
physicall address space so the guest can access the virtual cpu
interface. This must be done after the IRQ chips is create and after a
base address has been provided for the emulated platform (patch is
following), but before the CPU is initally run.
