This only adds the details about "Stolen Time" as the details of "Live Physical Time" have not been fully agreed. User space can specify a reserved area of memory for the guest and inform KVM to populate the memory with information on time that the host kernel has stolen from the guest. A hypercall interface is provided for the guest to interrogate the hypervisor's support for this interface and the location of the shared memory structures.

It will be present within a reserved region of the normal +memory given to the guest. The guest should not attempt to write into this +memory. There is a structure by VCPU of the guest. + +User space interface +==================== + +User space can request that KVM provide the paravirtualized time interface to +a guest by creating a KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_PV_TIME device, for example: + + struct kvm_create_device pvtime_device = { + .type = KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_PV_TIME, + .attr = 0, + .flags = 0, + }; + + pvtime_fd = ioctl(vm_fd, KVM_CREATE_DEVICE, &pvtime_device); + +The guest IPA of the structures must be given to KVM.

KVM_DEV_ARM_PV_TIME_STATE_SIZE +provides the size of this data and KVM_DEV_ARM_PV_TIME_STATE allows the state +to be read/written. + +It is also necessary for the physical address to be set identically when +restoring. + + void *save_state(int fd, u64 attr, u32 *size) { + struct kvm_device_attr get_size = { + .group = KVM_DEV_ARM_PV_TIME_STATE_SIZE, + .attr = attr, + .addr = (u64)(unsigned long)size + }; + + ioctl(fd, KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR, get_size); + + void *buffer = malloc(*size); + + struct kvm_device_attr get_state = { + .group = KVM_DEV_ARM_PV_TIME_STATE, + .attr = attr, + .addr = (u64)(unsigned long)size + }; + + ioctl(fd, KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR, buffer); + } + + void *st_state = save_state(pvtime_fd, KVM_DEV_ARM_PV_TIME_ST, &st_size); + -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
