PCI device passthrough enables an OS in a virtual machine to directly access a PCI device in the host. It promises almost the native performance, which is required in performance-critical scenarios of ACRN. HSM provides the following ioctls: - Assign - ACRN_IOCTL_ASSIGN_PCIDEV Pass data struct acrn_pcidev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform the hypervisor to assign a PCI device to a User VM. - De-assign - ACRN_IOCTL_DEASSIGN_PCIDEV Pass data struct acrn_pcidev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform the hypervisor to de-assign a PCI device from a User VM. - Set a interrupt of a passthrough device - ACRN_IOCTL_SET_PTDEV_INTR Pass data struct acrn_ptdev_irq from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform the hypervisor to map a INTx interrupt of passthrough device of User VM. - Reset passthrough device interrupt - ACRN_IOCTL_RESET_PTDEV_INTR Pass data struct acrn_ptdev_irq from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform the hypervisor to unmap a INTx interrupt of passthrough device of User VM.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
