[PATCH 48/52] KVM: PPC: Add generic single register ioctls

Alexander Graf
2012-01-13T14:31:51Z

Right now we transfer a static struct every time we want to get or set
registers. Unfortunately, over time we realize that there are more of
these than we thought of before and the extensibility and flexibility of
transferring a full struct every time is limited.

So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can
get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for
very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that
it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse
most of the infrastructure and simply implement a GET_MANY_REGS / SET_MANY_REGS
interface.

+Using this ioctl, a single vcpu register can be set to a specific value
+defined by user space with the passed in struct kvm_one_reg, where id
+refers to the register identifier as described below and addr is a pointer
+to a variable with the respective size. There can be architecture agnostic
+and architecture specific registers. Each have their own range of operation
+and their own constants and width. To keep track of the implemented
+registers, find a list below:

+Capability: KVM_CAP_ONE_REG
+Architectures: all
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_one_reg (in and out)
+Returns: 0 on success, negative value on failure
+
+This ioctl allows to receive the value of a single register implemented
+in a vcpu. The register to read is indicated by the "id" field of the
+kvm_one_reg struct passed in. On success, the register value can be found
+at the memory location pointed to by "addr".
+
+The list of registers accessible using this interface is identical to the
+list in 4.64.
