From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Paul Mackerras Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/9] KVM: PPC: In-kernel PAPR interrupt controller emulation Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 14:18:06 +1100 Message-ID: <20121105031806.GA22409@drongo> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org, kvm-ppc@vger.kernel.org, Benjamin Herrenschmidt To: Alexander Graf Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: kvm-ppc-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org This series implements in-kernel emulation of the XICS interrupt controller specified in the PAPR specification and used by pseries guests. Since the XICS is organized a bit differently to the interrupt controllers used on x86 machines, I have defined some new ioctls for setting up the XICS and for saving and restoring its state. It may be possible to use some of the currently x86-specific ioctls instead. Paul.
