Documentation: KVM: Introduce documentation for VGICv5
Now that it is possible to create a VGICv5 device, provide initial documentation for it. At this stage, there is little to document.

ARM Virtual Generic Interrupt Controller v5 (VGICv5)
|
||||
====================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Device types supported:
|
||||
- KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V5 ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v5.0
|
||||
|
||||
Only one VGIC instance may be instantiated through this API. The created VGIC
|
||||
will act as the VM interrupt controller, requiring emulated user-space devices
|
||||
to inject interrupts to the VGIC instead of directly to CPUs.
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a guest GICv5 device requires a host GICv5 host. The current VGICv5
|
||||
device only supports PPI interrupts. These can either be injected from emulated
|
||||
in-kernel devices (such as the Arch Timer, or PMU), or via the KVM_IRQ_LINE
|
||||
ioctl.
|
||||
|
||||
Groups:
|
||||
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL
|
||||
Attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT
|
||||
request the initialization of the VGIC, no additional parameter in
|
||||
kvm_device_attr.addr. Must be called after all VCPUs have been created.
|
||||
|
||||
Errors:
|
||||
|
||||
======= ========================================================
|
||||
-ENXIO VGIC not properly configured as required prior to calling
|
||||
this attribute
|
||||
-ENODEV no online VCPU
|
||||
-ENOMEM memory shortage when allocating vgic internal data
|
||||
-EFAULT Invalid guest ram access
|
||||
-EBUSY One or more VCPUS are running
