[PATCH v8 4/8] KVM: arm64: Allow userspace to configure a vCPU's virtual offset

Oliver Upton oupton at google.com
Thu Sep 16 11:15:06 PDT 2021


Allow userspace to access the guest's virtual counter-timer offset
through the ONE_REG interface. The value read or written is defined to
be an offset from the guest's physical counter-timer. Add some
documentation to clarify how a VMM should use this and the existing
CNTVCT_EL0.

+:Capability: KVM_CAP_ARM_VTIMER_OFFSET
+:Architectures: arm64
+:Type: vm
+
+This capability, if enabled, will cause KVM to expose the
+KVM_REG_ARM_TIMER_OFFSET register offset through the
+KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG and KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctls. Implementing VMMs
+must observe the warning prescribed in section 4.68 with regard to the
+mixed use of timer registers.
