4Generic vm interface
5====================

7The virtual machine "device" also accepts the ioctls KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR,
8KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR, and KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR. The interface uses the same
9struct kvm_device_attr as other devices, but targets VM-wide settings
10and controls.
11
12The groups and attributes per virtual machine, if any, are architecture
13specific.

201.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_MEM_ENABLE_CMMA
21-------------------------------------------
22
23:Parameters: none
24:Returns: -EBUSY if a vcpu is already defined, otherwise 0
25
26Enables Collaborative Memory Management Assist (CMMA) for the virtual machine.
27
281.2. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_MEM_CLR_CMMA
29----------------------------------------
30
31:Parameters: none
32:Returns: -EINVAL if CMMA was not enabled;
33	  0 otherwise
34
35Clear the CMMA status for all guest pages, so any pages the guest marked
36as unused are again used any may not be reclaimed by the host.
37
381.3. ATTRIBUTE KVM_S390_VM_MEM_LIMIT_SIZE
39-----------------------------------------
40
41:Parameters: in attr->addr the address for the new limit of guest memory
42:Returns: -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible;
43	  -EINVAL if the virtual machine is of type UCONTROL;
44	  -E2BIG if the given guest memory is to big for that machine;
45	  -EBUSY if a vcpu is already defined;
46	  -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available for a new shadow guest mapping;
47	  0 otherwise.
48
49Allows userspace to query the actual limit and set a new limit for
50the maximum guest memory size. The limit will be rounded up to
512048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB respectively, as this limit is governed by
52the number of page table levels. In the case that there is no limit we will set
53the limit to KVM_S390_NO_MEM_LIMIT (U64_MAX).

92KVM does not enforce or limit the cpu model data in any form. Take the information
93retrieved by means of KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE as hint for reasonable configuration
94setups. Instruction interceptions triggered by additionally set facility bits that
95are not handled by KVM need to by implemented in the VM driver code.
96

1402.5. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE_SUBFUNC (r/o)
141-----------------------------------------------------
142
143Allows user space to retrieve available cpu subfunctions without any filtering
144done by a set IBC. These subfunctions are indicated to the guest VCPU via
145query or "test bit" subfunctions and used e.g. by cpacf functions, plo and ptff.
146
147A subfunction block is only valid if KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE contains the
148STFL(E) bit introducing the affected instruction. If the affected instruction
149indicates subfunctions via a "query subfunction", the response block is
150contained in the returned struct. If the affected instruction
151indicates subfunctions via a "test bit" mechanism, the subfunction codes are
152contained in the returned struct in MSB 0 bit numbering.

178
1792.6. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR_SUBFUNC (r/w)
180-------------------------------------------------------
181
182Allows user space to retrieve or change cpu subfunctions to be indicated for
183all VCPUs of a VM. This attribute will only be available if kernel and
184hardware support are in place.
185
186The kernel uses the configured subfunction blocks for indication to
187the guest. A subfunction block will only be used if the associated STFL(E) bit
188has not been disabled by user space (so the instruction to be queried is
189actually available for the guest).
190
191As long as no data has been written, a read will fail. The IBC will be used
192to determine available subfunctions in this case, this will guarantee backward
193compatibility.
194
195See :ref:`KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE_SUBFUNC` for a
196description of the parameter struct.
197
198:Parameters: address of a buffer to store/load the subfunction blocks from.
199:Returns:   -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space;
200	    -EINVAL when reading, if there was no write yet;
201	    -EBUSY if at least one VCPU has already been defined;
202	    0 in case of success.

234the POP (u64). If the guest CPU model supports the TOD clock extension (u8), it
235also allows user space to get/set it. If the guest CPU model does not support
236it, it is stored as 0 and not allowed to be set to a value != 0.

344        ======  ===========================================
345
346Requests the installation of an SMCCC call filter described as follows::
347
348    enum kvm_smccc_filter_action {
349            KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE = 0,
350            KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY,
351            KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER,
352    };
353
354    struct kvm_smccc_filter {
355            __u32 base;
356            __u32 nr_functions;
357            __u8 action;
358            __u8 pad[15];
359    };
360
361The filter is defined as a set of non-overlapping ranges. Each
362range defines an action to be applied to SMCCC calls within the range.
363Userspace can insert multiple ranges into the filter by using
364successive calls to this attribute.
365
366The default configuration of KVM is such that all implemented SMCCC
367calls are allowed. Thus, the SMCCC filter can be defined sparsely
368by userspace, only describing ranges that modify the default behavior.
369
370The range expressed by ``struct kvm_smccc_filter`` is
371[``base``, ``base + nr_functions``). The range is not allowed to wrap,
372i.e. userspace cannot rely on ``base + nr_functions`` overflowing.
373
374The SMCCC filter applies to both SMC and HVC calls initiated by the
375guest. The SMCCC filter gates the in-kernel emulation of SMCCC calls
376and as such takes effect before other interfaces that interact with
377SMCCC calls (e.g. hypercall bitmap registers).
378
379Actions:
380
381 - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE``: Allows the guest SMCCC call to be
382   handled in-kernel. It is strongly recommended that userspace *not*
383   explicitly describe the allowed SMCCC call ranges.
384
385 - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY``: Rejects the guest SMCCC call in-kernel
386   and returns to the guest.
387
388 - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER``: The guest SMCCC call is forwarded
389   to userspace with an exit reason of ``KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL``.
390
391The ``pad`` field is reserved for future use and must be zero. KVM may
392return ``-EINVAL`` if the field is nonzero.
393
394KVM reserves the 'Arm Architecture Calls' range of function IDs and
395will reject attempts to define a filter for any portion of these ranges:
