Subject: [PATCH v3 09/10] KVM: s390: Update api documentation for memop ioctl
Date: Wed,  9 Feb 2022 18:04:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220209170422.1910690-10-scgl@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220209170422.1910690-1-scgl@linux.ibm.com>

Document all currently existing operations, flags and explain under
which circumstances they are available. Document the recently
introduced absolute operations and the storage key protection flag,
as well as the existing SIDA operations.

-The type of operation is specified in the "op" field. It is either
-KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ for reading from logical memory space or
-KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE for writing to logical memory space. The
-KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY flag can be set in the "flags" field to check
-whether the corresponding memory access would create an access exception
-(without touching the data in the memory at the destination). In case an
-access exception occurred while walking the MMU tables of the guest, the
-ioctl returns a positive error number to indicate the type of exception.
-This exception is also raised directly at the corresponding VCPU if the
-flag KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION is set in the "flags" field.
-
 The start address of the memory region has to be specified in the "gaddr"
 field, and the length of the region in the "size" field (which must not
 be 0). The maximum value for "size" can be obtained by checking the
 KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP capability. "buf" is the buffer supplied by the
 userspace application where the read data should be written to for
-KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ, or where the data that should be written is
-stored for a KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE. When KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY
-is specified, "buf" is unused and can be NULL. "ar" designates the access
-register number to be used; the valid range is 0..15.
+a read access, or where the data that should be written is stored for
+a write access.  The "reserved" field is meant for future extensions.
+Reserved and unused values are ignored. Future extension that add members must
+introduce new flags.
+
+The type of operation is specified in the "op" field. Flags modifying
+their behavior can be set in the "flags" field. Undefined flag bits must
+be set to 0.
+
+Possible operations are:
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_ABSOLUTE_READ``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_ABSOLUTE_WRITE``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_SIDA_READ``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_SIDA_WRITE``
+
+Logical read/write:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Access logical memory, i.e. translate the given guest address to an absolute
+address given the state of the VCPU and use the absolute address as target of
+the access. "ar" designates the access register number to be used; the valid
+range is 0..15.
+Logical accesses are permitted for the VCPU ioctl only.
+Logical accesses are permitted for non secure guests only.
+
+Supported flags:
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION``
+
+The KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY flag can be set to check whether the
+corresponding memory access would cause an access exception, without touching
+the data in memory at the destination.
+In this case, "buf" is unused and can be NULL.
+
+In case an access exception occurred during the access (or would occur
+in case of KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY), the ioctl returns a positive
+error number indicating the type of exception. This exception is also
+raised directly at the corresponding VCPU if the flag
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION is set.
+
+If the KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag is set, storage key
+protection is also in effect and may cause exceptions if accesses are
+prohibited given the access key passed in "key".
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION is available if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
+is > 0.
+
+Absolute read/write:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Access absolute memory. This operation is intended to be used with the
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag, to allow accessing memory and performing
+the checks required for storage key protection as one operation (as opposed to
+user space getting the storage keys, performing the checks, and accessing
+memory thereafter, which could lead to a delay between check and access).
+Absolute accesses are permitted for the VM ioctl if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
+is > 0.
+Currently absolute accesses are not permitted for VCPU ioctls.
+Absolute accesses are permitted for non secure guests only.
+
+Supported flags:
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY``
+  * ``KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION``
+
+The semantics of the flags are as for logical accesses.
+
+SIDA read/write:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Access the secure instruction data area which contains memory operands necessary
+for instruction emulation for secure guests.
+SIDA accesses are available if the KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED capability is available.
+SIDA accesses are permitted for the VCPU ioctl only.
+SIDA accesses are permitted for secure guests only.
 
-The "reserved" field is meant for future extensions. It is not used by
-KVM with the currently defined set of flags.
+No flags are supported.
