1 | XICS interrupt controller |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Device type supported: KVM_DEV_TYPE_XICS | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Groups: | |
| 6 | KVM_DEV_XICS_SOURCES | |
| 7 | Attributes: One per interrupt source, indexed by the source number. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | This device emulates the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller | |
| 10 | Specification) defined in PAPR. The XICS has a set of interrupt | |
| 11 | sources, each identified by a 20-bit source number, and a set of | |
| 12 | Interrupt Control Presentation (ICP) entities, also called "servers", | |
| 13 | each associated with a virtual CPU. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | The ICP entities are created by enabling the KVM_CAP_IRQ_ARCH | |
| 16 | capability for each vcpu, specifying KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS in args[0] and | |
| 17 | the interrupt server number (i.e. the vcpu number from the XICS's | |
| 18 | point of view) in args[1] of the kvm_enable_cap struct. Each ICP has | |
| 19 | 64 bits of state which can be read and written using the | |
| 20 | KVM_GET_ONE_REG and KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls on the vcpu. The 64 bit | |
| 21 | state word has the following bitfields, starting at the | |
| 22 | least-significant end of the word: | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | * Unused, 16 bits | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | * Pending interrupt priority, 8 bits | |
| 27 | Zero is the highest priority, 255 means no interrupt is pending. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | * Pending IPI (inter-processor interrupt) priority, 8 bits | |
| 30 | Zero is the highest priority, 255 means no IPI is pending. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | * Pending interrupt source number, 24 bits | |
| 33 | Zero means no interrupt pending, 2 means an IPI is pending | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | * Current processor priority, 8 bits | |
| 36 | Zero is the highest priority, meaning no interrupts can be | |
| 37 | delivered, and 255 is the lowest priority. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Each source has 64 bits of state that can be read and written using | |
| 40 | the KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR and KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR ioctls, specifying the | |
| 41 | KVM_DEV_XICS_SOURCES attribute group, with the attribute number being | |
| 42 | the interrupt source number. The 64 bit state word has the following | |
| 43 | bitfields, starting from the least-significant end of the word: | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | * Destination (server number), 32 bits | |
| 46 | This specifies where the interrupt should be sent, and is the | |
| 47 | interrupt server number specified for the destination vcpu. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | * Priority, 8 bits | |
| 50 | This is the priority specified for this interrupt source, where 0 is | |
| 51 | the highest priority and 255 is the lowest. An interrupt with a | |
| 52 | priority of 255 will never be delivered. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | * Level sensitive flag, 1 bit | |
| 55 | This bit is 1 for a level-sensitive interrupt source, or 0 for | |
| 56 | edge-sensitive (or MSI). | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | * Masked flag, 1 bit | |
| 59 | This bit is set to 1 if the interrupt is masked (cannot be delivered | |
| 60 | regardless of its priority), for example by the ibm,int-off RTAS | |
| 61 | call, or 0 if it is not masked. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | * Pending flag, 1 bit | |
| 64 | This bit is 1 if the source has a pending interrupt, otherwise 0. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | Only one XICS instance may be created per VM. |
