===================================
|
||||
The LoongArch paravirtual interface
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
KVM hypercalls use the HVCL instruction with code 0x100 and the hypercall
|
||||
number is put in a0. Up to five arguments may be placed in registers a1 - a5.
|
||||
The return value is placed in v0 (an alias of a0).
|
||||
|
||||
Source code for this interface can be found in arch/loongarch/kvm*.
|
||||
|
||||
Querying for existence
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
To determine if the host is running on KVM, we can utilize the cpucfg()
|
||||
function at index CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000).
|
||||
|
||||
The CPUCFG_KVM_BASE range, spanning from 0x40000000 to 0x400000FF, The
|
||||
CPUCFG_KVM_BASE range between 0x40000000 - 0x400000FF is marked as reserved.
|
||||
Consequently, all current and future processors will not implement any
|
||||
feature within this range.
|
||||
|
||||
On a KVM-virtualized Linux system, a read operation on cpucfg() at index
|
||||
CPUCFG_KVM_BASE (0x40000000) returns the magic string 'KVM\0'.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have determined that your host is running on a paravirtualization-
|
||||
capable KVM, you may now use hypercalls as described below.
|
||||
|
||||
KVM hypercall ABI
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
The KVM hypercall ABI is simple, with one scratch register a0 (v0) and at most
|
||||
five generic registers (a1 - a5) used as input parameters. The FP (Floating-
|
||||
point) and vector registers are not utilized as input registers and must
|
||||
remain unmodified during a hypercall.
|
||||
|
||||
Hypercall functions can be inlined as it only uses one scratch register.
|
||||
|
||||
The parameters are as follows:

||||

||||

KVM Hypercalls Documentation
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
The template for each hypercall is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Hypercall name
|
||||
2. Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
1. KVM_HCALL_FUNC_IPI
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Purpose: Send IPIs to multiple vCPUs.
|
||||
|
||||
- a0: KVM_HCALL_FUNC_IPI
|
||||
- a1: Lower part of the bitmap for destination physical CPUIDs
|
||||
- a2: Higher part of the bitmap for destination physical CPUIDs
|
||||
- a3: The lowest physical CPUID in the bitmap
|
||||
|
||||
The hypercall lets a guest send multiple IPIs (Inter-Process Interrupts) with
|
||||
at most 128 destinations per hypercall. The destinations are represented in a
|
||||
bitmap contained in the first two input registers (a1 and a2).
|
||||
|
||||
Bit 0 of a1 corresponds to the physical CPUID in the third input register (a3)
|
||||
and bit 1 corresponds to the physical CPUID in a3+1, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
PV IPI on LoongArch includes both PV IPI multicast sending and PV IPI receiving,
|
||||
and SWI is used for PV IPI inject since there is no VM-exits accessing SWI registers.
