[PATCH 27/27] KVM: PPC: Add get_pvinfo interface to query hypercall instructions

Alexander Graf agraf at suse.de
Thu Jul 29 22:48:08 EST 2010


We need to tell the guest the opcodes that make up a hypercall through
interfaces that are controlled by userspace. So we need to add a call
for userspace to allow it to query those opcodes so it can pass them
on.

This is required because the hypercall opcodes can change based on
the hypervisor conditions. If we're running in hardware accelerated
hypervisor mode, a hypercall looks different from when we're running
without hardware acceleration.

+This ioctl fetches PV specific information that need to be passed to the guest
+using the device tree or other means from vm context.
+
+For now the only implemented piece of information distributed here is an array
+of 4 instructions that make up a hypercall.
+
+If any additional field gets added to this structure later on, a bit for that
+additional piece of information will be set in the flags bitmap.
