Subject: KVM guest interrupts, traps, and, exceptions
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:43:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BAE27BB.8040000@cs.helsinki.fi> (raw)

Hi Avi,

I'm continuing my journey through the KVM API documentation and I'm now 
scratching my head on how interrupts, traps, and exceptions are 
supported by the API. I see KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP and KVM_IRQ_LINE but I'm 
unable to work out how the host is notified of such events. For example, 
if the guest does

   int $0x10

is there some KVM_EXIT "exit reason" like we have for IO? Is there some 
other mechanism for that? As I haven't yet set up anything related to 
IRQs I can see the host just deadlock on user interrupts.

			Pekka
