Subject: [PATCH v5 37/49] Documentation: KVM: Add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IRS_REGS to VGICv5 docs
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 11:31:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807111159.429128-38-sascha.bischoff@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807111159.429128-1-sascha.bischoff@arm.com>
Document the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IRS_REGS attribute group used to
read and write the virtual IRS's MMIO register state. This provides a
GICv5-specific interface for state that is conceptually similar to the
VGICv3 ITS register interface, but uses IRS terminology instead of
ITS.

+KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IRS_REGS
+ Attributes:
+ The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes the offset of the IRS register,
+ relative to the IRS CONFIG_FRAME base address. This is the address that
+ was provided via KVM_VGIC_V5_ADDR_TYPE_IRS when creating VGICv5 in the
+ first place.
+
+ kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value whatever the width
+ of the addressed register (32/64 bits). 64 bit registers can only
+ be accessed with full length.
+
+ Writes to read-only registers are ignored by the kernel except for
+ IRS_IDR0 - IRS_IDR2 and IRS_IDR5 - IRS_IDR7, which are sanity checked to
+ ensure that they match a sane config.
+
+ IRS_IDR3 and IRS_IDR4 are RAZ/WI, as nested virtualization is not
+ supported.
+
+ For registers without dedicated userspace accessors, getting or setting a
+ register uses the same emulated MMIO handlers as guest reads/writes.
+ Dedicated userspace accessors may instead save or restore migration state
+ without triggering guest-visible side effects. For example, restoring
+ IRS_IST_BASER only restores the emulated register state; any host LPI IST
+ allocation based on the restored IRS_IST_CFGR and IRS_IST_BASER state
+ happens when KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IST is restored.
+
+ Once an LPI IST has been allocated, IRS_IST_CFGR is immutable. Userspace
+ may write back its current value, but setting a different value is
+ rejected with -EINVAL.
+
+ Once an LPI IST has been allocated, IRS_IST_BASER is immutable.
+ Userspace may write back its current value, but setting a different value
+ is rejected with -EINVAL.
+
+ Errors:
+
+ ======= =================================================================
+ -ENXIO Offset does not correspond to any supported register
+ -EFAULT Invalid user pointer for attr->addr
+ -EINVAL Offset is not 32-bit aligned for 32-bit MMIO registers, not
+ 64-bit aligned for 64-bit registers, or the supplied register
+ value is not compatible with the configured VGICv5 IRS state
+ -EBUSY VGIC is not initialized, one or more VCPUs are running, or a
+ write is attempted after a VCPU has run
+ ======= =================================================================
