Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] RISC-V: KVM: add KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:26:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330122601.22140-5-fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330122601.22140-1-fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com>
From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com>
Add a VM capability that allows userspace to select the G-stage page table
format by setting HGATP.MODE on a per-VM basis.
Userspace enables the capability via KVM_ENABLE_CAP, passing the requested
HGATP.MODE in args[0]. The request is rejected with -EINVAL if the mode is
not supported by the host, and with -EBUSY if the VM has already been
committed (e.g. vCPUs have been created or any memslot is populated).
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE) returns a bitmask of the
HGATP.MODE formats supported by the host.

+:Architectures: riscv
+:Type: VM
+:Parameters: args[0] contains the requested HGATP mode
+:Returns:
+ - 0 on success.
+ - -EINVAL if args[0] is outside the range of HGATP modes supported by the
+ hardware.
+ - -EBUSY if vCPUs have already been created for the VM, if the VM has any

+
+This capability allows userspace to explicitly select the HGATP mode for
+the VM. The selected mode must be supported by both KVM and hardware. This
+capability must be enabled before creating any vCPUs or memslots.
+
+If this capability is not enabled, KVM will select the default HGATP mode
+automatically. The default is the highest HGATP.MODE value supported by
+hardware.
+
+``KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE)`` returns a bitmask of
+HGATP.MODE values supported by the host. A return value of 0 indicates that
+the capability is not supported. Supported-mode bitmask use HGATP.MODE
+encodings as defined by the RISC-V privileged specification, such as Sv39x4
+corresponds to HGATP.MODE=8, so userspace should test bitmask & BIT(8).
