Subject: [PATCH v6 0/1] arm: add kvm-psci-version vcpu property
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:56:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220115656.4831-1-sebott@redhat.com> (raw)
This series adds a vcpu knob to request a specific PSCI version
from KVM via the KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION FW register.
The use case for this is to support migration between host kernels
that differ in their default (a.k.a. most recent) PSCI version.
Note: in order to support PSCI v0.1 we need to drop vcpu
initialization with KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI_0_2 in that case.
Alternatively we could limit support to versions >=0.2 .
Changes since V5 [5]:
* incorporated feedback from Peter
* dropped patch that is already upstream
Changes since V4 [4]:
* incorporated feedback from Peter
* added R-B, T-B
Changes since V3 [3]:
* changed variable name as requested by Eric
* added R-B
Changes since V2 [2]:
* fix kvm_get_psci_version() when the prop is not specified - thanks Eric!
* removed the assertion in kvm_get_psci_version() so that this also works
with a future kernel/psci version
* added R-B
Changes since V1 [1]:
* incorporated feedback from Peter and Eric
