2013-01-23KVM: ARM: User space API for getting/setting co-proc registersChristoffer Dall1-0/+9
The following three ioctls are implemented: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST - KVM_GET_ONE_REG - KVM_SET_ONE_REG Now we have a table for all the cp15 registers, we can drive a generic API. The register IDs carry the following encoding: ARM registers are mapped using the lower 32 bits. The upper 16 of that is the register group type, or coprocessor number: ARM 32-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4002 0000 000F <zero:1> <crn:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <opc2:3> ARM 64-bit CP15 registers have the following id bit patterns: 0x4003 0000 000F <zero:1> <zero:4> <crm:4> <opc1:4> <zero:3> For futureproofing, we need to tell QEMU about the CP15 registers the host lets the guest access. It will need this information to restore a current guest on a future CPU or perhaps a future KVM which allow some of these to be changed. We use a separate table for these, as they're only for the userspace API.

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Emulation framework and CP15 emulationChristoffer Dall1-0/+14
Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register (HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from the guest. Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest instruction. Minor notes about the coproc register reset: 1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu. 2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for simplicity of understanding.

2013-01-23KVM: ARM: Initial skeleton to compile KVM supportChristoffer Dall1-0/+24
Targets KVM support for Cortex A-15 processors. Contains all the framework components, make files, header files, some tracing functionality, and basic user space API. Only supported core is Cortex-A15 for now. Most functionality is in arch/arm/kvm/* or arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_*.h.
