Add description for how to access vITS registers and how to flush/restore
vITS tables into/from memory
Signed-off-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger at redhat.com>

v3 -> v4:
- take into account Peter's comments:
- typos
- KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_TABLES kvm_device_attr = 0
- add a validity bit in DTE
- document all fields in CTE and ITE
- document ABI revision
- take into account Andre's comments:
- document restrictions about GITS_CREADR writing and GITS_IIDR
- document -EBUSY error if one or more VCPUS are runnning
- document 64b registers only can be accessed with 64b access
- itt_addr field matches bits [51:8] of the itt_addr
v1 -> v2:
- DTE and ITE now are 8 bytes
- DTE and ITE now indexed by deviceid/eventid
- use ITE name instead of ITTE
- mentions ITT_addr matches bits [51:8] of the actual address
- mentions LE layout

-ENXIO: ITS not properly configured as required prior to setting
this attribute
-ENOMEM: Memory shortage when allocating ITS internal data
+
+ KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_REGS
+ Attributes:
+ The attr field of kvm_device_attr encodes the offset of the
+ ITS register, relative to the ITS control frame base address
+ (ITS_base).
+
+ kvm_device_attr.addr points to a __u64 value whatever the width
+ of the addressed register (32/64 bits). 64 bit registers can only
+ be accessed with full length.
+
+ Writes to read-only registers are ignored by the kernel except for:
+ - GITS_READR. It needs to be restored otherwise commands in the queue
+ will be re-executed after CWRITER setting. Writing this register is
+ allowed if the ITS is not enabled (GITS_CTLR.enable = 0). Also it
+ needs to be restored after GITS_CBASER since a write to GITS_CBASER
+ resets GITS_CREADR.
+ - GITS_IIDR. Its Revision field encodes the table layout ABI revision.
+
+ For other registers, getting or setting a register has the same
+ effect as reading/writing the register on real hardware.
+ Errors:
+ -ENXIO: Offset does not correspond to any supported register
+ -EFAULT: Invalid user pointer for attr->addr
+ -EINVAL: Offset is not 64-bit aligned
+ -EBUSY: one or more VCPUS are running
+
+ KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ITS_TABLES
+ Attributes
+ The attr field of kvm_device_attr must be zero.
+
+ request the flush-save/restore of the ITS tables, namely
+ the device table, the collection table, all the ITT tables,
+ the LPI pending tables. On save, the tables are flushed
+ into guest memory at the location provisioned by the guest
+ in GITS_BASER (device and collection tables), in the MAPD
+ command (ITT_addr), GICR_PENDBASERs (pending tables).
+
+ This means the GIC should be restored before the ITS and all
+ ITS registers but the GITS_CTLR must be restored before
+ restoring the ITS tables.
+
+ The GITS_READR and GITS_IIDR read-only registers must also
+ be restored before the table restore. The IIDR revision field
+ encodes the ABI revision of the table layout. If not set by
+ user space, the restoration of the tables will fail.
+
+ Note the LPI configuration table is read-only for the
+ in-kernel ITS and its save/restore goes through the standard
+ RAM save/restore.
+
+ The layout of the tables in guest memory defines an ABI.
+ The entries are laid in little endian format as follows;
+
+ Errors:
+ -EINVAL: kvm_device_attr not equal to 0, invalid table data
+ -EFAULT: invalid guest ram access
+ -EBUSY: one or more VCPUS are running
+
+ ITS Table ABI REV1:
+ -------------------
+
+ The device table and ITE are respectively indexed by device id and
+ eventid. The collection table however is not indexed by collection id:
+ CTE are written at the beginning of the buffer.
+
+ Device Table Entry (DTE) layout: entry size = 8 bytes
+
+ bits: | 63| 62 ... 49 | 48 ... 5 | 4 ... 0 |
+ values: | V | next | ITT_addr | Size |
+
+ where;
+ - V indicates whether the entry is valid,
+ - ITT_addr matches bits [51:8] of the ITT address (256B aligned),
+ - next field is meaningful only if the entry is valid.
+ It equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it corresponds
+ to the minimum between the offset to the next device id and 2^14 -1.
+
+ Collection Table Entry (CTE) layout: entry size = 8 bytes
+
+ bits: | 63| 62 .. 52 | 51 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
+ values: | V | RES0 | RDBase | ICID |
+
+ where:
+ - V indicates whether the entry is valid,
+ - RDBase matches the PE number (GICR_TYPER.Processor_Number),
+ - ICID matches the collection ID
+
+ Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE) layout: entry size = 8 bytes
+
+ bits: | 63 ... 48 | 47 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
+ values: | next | pINTID | ICID |
+
+ where:
+ - pINTID is the physical LPI ID,
+ - ICID is the collection ID,
+ - next field is meaningful only if the entry is valid (pINTID != 0).
+ It equals to 0 if this entry is the last one; otherwise it corresponds
+ to the minimum between the eventid offset to the next ITE and 2^16 -1.
+
+ LPI Pending Table layout:
+
+ As specified in the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture
+ Specification GIC Architecture version 3.0 and version 4. The first
+ 1kB is not modified and therefore should contain zeroes.
+
+ Future evolutions of the ITS table layout:
+
+ At the moment the table layout is defined and optimized for physical
+ LPI support.
+
+ In the future we might implement direct injection of virtual LPIS.
+ This will require an upgrade of the table layout and an evolution of
+ the ABI. The ABI revision is encoded in the GITS_IIDR revision field.
+ That register must be restored before the table restoration, otherwise
+ the operation will fail.
+
+ ABI V1: GITS_IIDR.Revision = 1
