Currently, KVM ARM/ARM64 only provides in-kernel emulation of Power State
and Coordination Interface (PSCI) v0.1.
This patchset aims at providing newer PSCI v0.2 for KVM ARM/ARM64 VCPUs
such that it does not break current KVM ARM/ARM64 ABI.
The user space tools (i.e. QEMU or KVMTOOL) will have to explicitly enable
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature using KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl for providing
PSCI v0.2 to VCPUs.
Changlog:
V6:
- Introduce uapi/linux/psci.h for sharing PSCI defines between
ARM kernel, ARM64 kernel, KVM ARM/ARM64 and user space
- Make CPU_SUSPEND emulation similar to WFI emulation
V5:
- Have separate last patch to advertise KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI_0_2
- Use kvm_psci_version() in kvm_psci_vcpu_on()
- Return ALREADY_ON for PSCI v0.2 CPU_ON if VCPU is not paused
- Remove per-VCPU suspend context
- As-per PSCI v0.2 spec, only current CPU can suspend itself
V4:
- Implement all mandatory functions required by PSCI v0.2
V3:
- Make KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature experiementatl for now so that
it fails for user space till all mandatory PSCI v0.2 functions are
emulated by KVM ARM/ARM64
- Have separate patch for making KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature available
to user space. This patch can be defferred for now
V2:
- Don't rename PSCI return values KVM_PSCI_RET_NI and KVM_PSCI_RET_INVAL
- Added kvm_psci_version() to get PSCI version available to VCPU
- Fixed grammer in Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt
V1:
- Initial RFC PATCH
