Subject: [PATCH v6 37/49] Documentation: KVM: Add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_IRS_REGS to VGICv5 docs
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 11:53:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904113404.4051341-38-sascha.bischoff@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904113404.4051341-1-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
+    =======  =================================================================
