LPIs are dynamically created (mapped) at guest runtime and their
actual number can be quite high, but is mostly assigned using a very
sparse allocation scheme. So arrays are not an ideal data structure
to hold the information.
We use a spin-lock protected linked list to hold all mapped LPIs,
The (system-wide) LPI configuration table is held in a table in
(guest) memory. To achieve reasonable performance, we cache this data
in our struct vgic_irq. If the guest updates the configuration data
(which consists of the enable bit and the priority value), it issues
an INV or INVALL command to
When userland wants to inject an MSI into the guest, it uses the
KVM_SIGNAL_MSI ioctl, which carries the doorbell address along with
the payload and the device ID.
With the help of the KVM IO bus framework we learn the corresponding
ITS from the doorbell address. We then use our wrapper functions
In the GICv3 redistributor there are the PENDBASER and PROPBASER
registers which we did not emulate so far, as they only make sense
when having an ITS. In preparation for that emulate those MMIO
accesses by storing the 64-bit data written into it into a variable
which we later read in the ITS
The LPI pending status for a GICv3 redistributor is held in a table
in (guest) memory. To achieve reasonable performance, we cache the
pending bit in our struct vgic_irq. The initial pending state must be
read from guest memory upon enabling LPIs for this redistributor.
As we can't access the
Add emulation for some basic MMIO registers used in the ITS emulation.
This includes:
- GITS_{CTLR,TYPER,IIDR}
- ID registers
- GITS_{CBASER,CREADR,CWRITER}
(which implement the ITS command buffer handling)
- GITS_BASER
Most of the handlers are pretty straight forward, only the CWRITER
handler
The connection between a device, an event ID, the LPI number and the
associated CPU is stored in in-memory tables in a GICv3, but their
format is not specified by the spec. Instead software uses a command
queue in a ring buffer to let an ITS implementation use its own
format.
Implement handlers
The ARM GICv3 ITS MSI controller requires a device ID to be able to
assign the proper interrupt vector. On real hardware, this ID is
sampled from the bus. To be able to emulate an ITS controller, extend
the KVM MSI interface to let userspace provide such a device ID. For
PCI devices, the device ID
kvm_register_device_ops() can return an error, so lets check its return
value and propagate this up the call chain.

arm-gic-v3.h contains bit and register definitions for the GICv3 and ITS,
at least for the bits the we currently care about.
The ITS emulation needs more definitions, so add them and refactor
the memory attribute #defines to be more universally usable.
To avoid changing all users, we still provide
KVM capabilities can be a per-VM property, though ARM/ARM64 currently
does not pass on the VM pointer to the architecture specific
capability handlers.
Add a "struct kvm*" parameter to those function to later allow proper
per-VM capability reporting.

The ARM GICv3 ITS emulation code goes into a separate file, but needs
to be connected to the GICv3 emulation, of which it is an option.
The ITS MMIO handlers require the respective ITS pointer to be passed in,
so we amend the existing VGIC MMIO framework to let it cope with that.
Also we introduce
The kvm_io_bus framework is a nice place of holding information about
various MMIO regions for kernel emulated devices.
Add a call to retrieve the kvm_io_device structure which is associated
with a certain MMIO address. This avoids to duplicate kvm_io_bus'
knowledge of MMIO regions without having
Logically a GICv3 redistributor is assigned to a (v)CPU, so we should
aim to keep redistributor related variables out of our struct vgic_dist.
Let's start by replacing the redistributor related kvm_io_device array
with two members in our existing struct vgic_cpu, which are naturally
per-VCPU and
