Subject: [PATCH 13/15] KVM: Add support for enabling capabilities per-vcpu
Date: Mon,  8 Mar 2010 19:03:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268071402-27112-14-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268071402-27112-1-git-send-email-agraf-l3A5Bk7waGM@public.gmane.org>

Some times we don't want all capabilities to be available to all
our vcpus. One example for that is the OSI interface, implemented
in the next patch.

In order to have a generic mechanism in how to enable capabilities
individually, this patch introduces a new ioctl that can be used
for this purpose. That way features we don't want in all guests or
userspace configurations can just not be enabled and we're good.

+4.34 KVM_ENABLE_CAP
+
+Capability: basic
+Architectures: all
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_enable_cap (in)
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
+
+Not all extensions are enabled by default. Using this ioctl the application
+can enable an extension, making it available to the guest.
+
+On systems that do not support this ioctl, it always fails. On systems that
+do support it, it only works for extensions that are supported for enablement.
+As of writing this the only enablement enabled extenion is KVM_CAP_PPC_OSI.
