XICS interrupt controller
|
|
|
|
Device type supported: KVM_DEV_TYPE_XICS
|
|
|
|
Groups:
|
|
KVM_DEV_XICS_SOURCES
|
|
Attributes: One per interrupt source, indexed by the source number.
|
|
|
|
This device emulates the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller
|
|
Specification) defined in PAPR. The XICS has a set of interrupt
|
|
sources, each identified by a 20-bit source number, and a set of
|
|
Interrupt Control Presentation (ICP) entities, also called "servers",
|
|
each associated with a virtual CPU.
|
|
|
|
The ICP entities are created by enabling the KVM_CAP_IRQ_ARCH
|
|
capability for each vcpu, specifying KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS in args[0] and
|
|
the interrupt server number (i.e. the vcpu number from the XICS's
|
|
point of view) in args[1] of the kvm_enable_cap struct. Each ICP has
|
|
64 bits of state which can be read and written using the
|
|
KVM_GET_ONE_REG and KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls on the vcpu. The 64 bit
|
|
state word has the following bitfields, starting at the
|
|
least-significant end of the word:
|
|
|
|
* Unused, 16 bits
|
|
|
|
* Pending interrupt priority, 8 bits
|
|
Zero is the highest priority, 255 means no interrupt is pending.
|
|
|
|
* Pending IPI (inter-processor interrupt) priority, 8 bits
|
|
Zero is the highest priority, 255 means no IPI is pending.
|
|
|
|
* Pending interrupt source number, 24 bits
|
|
Zero means no interrupt pending, 2 means an IPI is pending
|
|
|
|
* Current processor priority, 8 bits
|
|
Zero is the highest priority, meaning no interrupts can be
|
|
delivered, and 255 is the lowest priority.
|
|
|
|
Each source has 64 bits of state that can be read and written using
|
|
the KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR and KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR ioctls, specifying the
|
|
KVM_DEV_XICS_SOURCES attribute group, with the attribute number being
|
|
the interrupt source number. The 64 bit state word has the following
|
|
bitfields, starting from the least-significant end of the word:
|
|
|
|
* Destination (server number), 32 bits
|
|
This specifies where the interrupt should be sent, and is the
|
|
interrupt server number specified for the destination vcpu.
|
|
|
|
* Priority, 8 bits
|
|
This is the priority specified for this interrupt source, where 0 is
|
|
the highest priority and 255 is the lowest. An interrupt with a
|
|
priority of 255 will never be delivered.
|
|
|
|
* Level sensitive flag, 1 bit
|
|
This bit is 1 for a level-sensitive interrupt source, or 0 for
|
|
edge-sensitive (or MSI).
|
|
|
|
* Masked flag, 1 bit
|
|
This bit is set to 1 if the interrupt is masked (cannot be delivered
|
|
regardless of its priority), for example by the ibm,int-off RTAS
|
|
call, or 0 if it is not masked.
|
|
|
|
* Pending flag, 1 bit
|
|
This bit is 1 if the source has a pending interrupt, otherwise 0.
|
|
|
|
Only one XICS instance may be created per VM.
