Subject: [PATCH v1 3/9] Documentation: KVM: s390: Describe KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 23:07:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220930210751.225873-4-scgl@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220930210751.225873-1-scgl@linux.ibm.com>
Describe the semantics of the new KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG flag for
absolute vm write memops which allows user space to perform (storage key
checked) cmpxchg operations on guest memory.

+The semantics of the flags common with logical acesses are as for logical accesses.
+
+For write accesses, the KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG might be supported.
+In this case, instead of doing an unconditional write, the access occurs only
+if the target location contains the value provided in "old". This is performed
+as an atomic cmpxchg. "size" must be a power of two up to and including 16.
+Values with sizes <8 byte are to be provided by assignment to "old[1]".
+Doublewords are provided with the higher value word in "old[0]" and the lower
+word in "old[1]".
+The value at the target location is returned in "old", encoded in the same manner.
+If the value was exchanged the KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG bit in "flags" is set to
+0, otherwise it remains set.
+The KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG flag is supported if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
+has bit 1 (i.e. bit with value 2) set.
