+FLIC (floating interrupt controller)
+====================================
+
+FLIC handles floating (non per-cpu) interrupts, i.e. I/O, service and some
+machine check interruptions. All interrupts are stored in a per-vm list of
+pending interrupts. FLIC performs operations on this list.
+
+Only one FLIC instance may be instantiated.
+
+FLIC provides support to
+- add interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE)
+- inspect currently pending interrupts (KVM_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS)
+- purge all pending floating interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS)
+- enable/disable for the guest transparent async page faults
+- register and modify adapter interrupt sources (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_*)
+
+Groups:
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE
+ Passes a buffer and length into the kernel which are then injected into
+ the list of pending interrupts.
+ attr->addr contains the pointer to the buffer and attr->attr contains
+ the length of the buffer.
+ The format of the data structure kvm_s390_irq as it is copied from userspace
+ is defined in usr/include/linux/kvm.h.
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS
+ Copies all floating interrupts into a buffer provided by userspace.
+ When the buffer is too small it returns -ENOMEM, which is the indication
+ for userspace to try again with a bigger buffer.
+ All interrupts remain pending, i.e. are not deleted from the list of
+ currently pending interrupts.
+ attr->addr contains the userspace address of the buffer into which all
+ interrupt data will be copied.
+ attr->attr contains the size of the buffer in bytes.
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS
+ Simply deletes all elements from the list of currently pending floating
+ interrupts. No interrupts are injected into the guest.
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_ENABLE
+ Enables async page faults for the guest. So in case of a major page fault
+ the host is allowed to handle this async and continues the guest.
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_DISABLE_WAIT
+ Disables async page faults for the guest and waits until already pending
+ async page faults are done. This is necessary to trigger a completion interrupt
+ for every init interrupt before migrating the interrupt list.
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_REGISTER
+ Register an I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes a kvm_s390_io_adapter
+ describing the adapter to register:
+
+struct kvm_s390_io_adapter {
+ __u32 id;
+ __u8 isc;
+ __u8 maskable;
+ __u8 swap;
+ __u8 pad;
+};
+
+ id contains the unique id for the adapter, isc the I/O interruption subclass
+ to use, maskable whether this adapter may be masked (interrupts turned off)
+ and swap whether the indicators need to be byte swapped.
+
+
+ KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_MODIFY
+ Modifies attributes of an existing I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes
+ a kvm_s390_io_adapter_req specifiying the adapter and the operation:
+
+struct kvm_s390_io_adapter_req {
+ __u32 id;
+ __u8 type;
+ __u8 mask;
+ __u16 pad0;
+ __u64 addr;
+};
+
+ id specifies the adapter and type the operation. The supported operations
+ are:
+
+ KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MASK
+ mask or unmask the adapter, as specified in mask
+
+ KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MAP
+ perform a gmap translation for the guest address provided in addr,
+ pin a userspace page for the translated address and add it to the
+ list of mappings
+
+ KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_UNMAP
+ release a userspace page for the translated address specified in addr
+ from the list of mappings
