Currently, KVM ARM/ARM64 only provides in-kernel emulation of Power State and Coordination Interface (PSCI) v0.1.
This patchset aims at providing newer PSCI v0.2 for KVM ARM/ARM64 VCPUs such that it does not break current KVM ARM/ARM64 ABI. Also, the patchset provides emulation of only few PSCI v0.2 functions such as PSCI_VERSION, CPU_ON, and CPU_OFF. Emulation of other PSCI v0.2 functions will be added later.
The user space tools (i.e. QEMU or KVMTOOL) will have to explicitly enable KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature using KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl for providing PSCI v0.2 to VCPUs.
Changlog:
V2: - Don't rename PSCI return values KVM_PSCI_RET_NI and KVM_PSCI_RET_INVAL - Added kvm_psci_version() to get PSCI version available to VCPU - Fixed grammer in Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt
V1: - Initial RFC PATCH
Anup Patel (3): KVM: Add capability to advertise PSCI v0.2 support ARM/ARM64: KVM: Add support for PSCI v0.2 emulation KVM: Documentation: Add info regarding KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature
