This patch series provides a userspace interface for creating and running guest virtual machines while running on the Microsoft Hypervisor [0]. Since managing guest machines can only be done when Linux is the root partition, this series depends on the RFC already posted by Wei Liu: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hyperv/20201105165814.29233-1-wei.liu@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t The first two patches provide some helpers for converting hypervisor status codes to linux error codes, and easily printing hypervisor status codes to dmesg for debugging. Hyper-V related headers asm-generic/hyperv-tlfs.h and x86/asm/hyperv-tlfs.h are split into uapi and non-uapi. The uapi versions contain structures used in both the ioctl interface and the kernel. The mshv API is introduced in virt/mshv/mshv_main.c. As each interface is introduced, documentation is added in Documentation/virt/mshv/api.rst. The API is file-desciptor based, like KVM. The entry point is /dev/mshv. /dev/mshv ioctls: MSHV_REQUEST_VERSION MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION Partition (vm) ioctls: MSHV_MAP_GUEST_MEMORY, MSHV_UNMAP_GUEST_MEMORY MSHV_INSTALL_INTERCEPT MSHV_ASSERT_INTERRUPT MSHV_GET_PARTITION_PROPERTY, MSHV_SET_PARTITION_PROPERTY MSHV_CREATE_VP Vp (vcpu) ioctls: MSHV_GET_VP_REGISTERS, MSHV_SET_VP_REGISTERS MSHV_RUN_VP MSHV_GET_VP_STATE, MSHV_SET_VP_STATE mmap() (register page) [0] Hyper-V is more well-known, but it really refers to the whole stack including the hypervisor and other components that run in Windows kernel and userspace.
