Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: arm64: Document PV-lock interface
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 21:55:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191217135549.3240-2-yezengruan@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191217135549.3240-1-yezengruan@huawei.com>

From: Zengruan Ye <yezengruan@huawei.com>

Introduce a paravirtualization interface for KVM/arm64 to obtain the vcpu
is currently running or not.

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.

+Paravirtualized lock support for arm64
+======================================
+
+KVM/arm64 provids some hypervisor service calls to support a paravirtualized
+guest obtaining the vcpu is currently running or not.
+
+Two new SMCCC compatible hypercalls are defined:
+
+* PV_LOCK_FEATURES:   0xC5000040
+* PV_LOCK_PREEMPTED:  0xC5000041
+
+The existence of the PV_LOCK hypercall should be probed using the SMCCC 1.1
+ARCH_FEATURES mechanism before calling it.
+
+PV_LOCK_FEATURES
+    ============= ========    ==========
+    Function ID:  (uint32)    0xC5000040
+    PV_call_id:   (uint32)    The function to query for support.
+    Return value: (int64)     NOT_SUPPORTED (-1) or SUCCESS (0) if the relevant
+                              PV-lock feature is supported by the hypervisor.
+    ============= ========    ==========
+
+PV_LOCK_PREEMPTED
+    ============= ========    ==========
+    Function ID:  (uint32)    0xC5000041
+    Return value: (int64)     NOT_SUPPORTED (-1) or SUCCESS (0) if the IPA of
+                              this vcpu's pv data structure is configured by
+                              the hypervisor.
+    ============= ========    ==========
