4 The virtual machine "device" also accepts the ioctls KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR,
5 KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR, and KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR. The interface uses the same
6 struct kvm_device_attr as other devices, but targets VM-wide settings
9 The groups and attributes per virtual machine, if any, are architecture
12 1. GROUP: KVM_S390_VM_MEM_CTRL
15 1.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_MEM_ENABLE_CMMA
17 Returns: -EBUSY if a vcpu is already defined, otherwise 0
19 Enables Collaborative Memory Management Assist (CMMA) for the virtual machine.
21 1.2. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_MEM_CLR_CMMA
25 Clear the CMMA status for all guest pages, so any pages the guest marked
26 as unused are again used any may not be reclaimed by the host.
28 1.3. ATTRIBUTE KVM_S390_VM_MEM_LIMIT_SIZE
29 Parameters: in attr->addr the address for the new limit of guest memory
30 Returns: -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible
31 -EINVAL if the virtual machine is of type UCONTROL
32 -E2BIG if the given guest memory is to big for that machine
33 -EBUSY if a vcpu is already defined
34 -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available for a new shadow guest mapping
37 Allows userspace to query the actual limit and set a new limit for
38 the maximum guest memory size. The limit will be rounded up to
39 2048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB respectively, as this limit is governed by
40 the number of page table levels.
42 2. GROUP: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MODEL
45 2.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE (r/o)
47 Allows user space to retrieve machine and kvm specific cpu related information:
49 struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_machine {
50 __u64 cpuid; # CPUID of host
51 __u32 ibc; # IBC level range offered by host
53 __u64 fac_mask[256]; # set of cpu facilities enabled by KVM
54 __u64 fac_list[256]; # set of cpu facilities offered by host
57 Parameters: address of buffer to store the machine related cpu data
58 of type struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_machine*
59 Returns: -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space
60 -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available to process the ioctl
63 2.2. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR (r/w)
65 Allows user space to retrieve or request to change cpu related information for a vcpu:
67 struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_processor {
68 __u64 cpuid; # CPUID currently (to be) used by this vcpu
69 __u16 ibc; # IBC level currently (to be) used by this vcpu
71 __u64 fac_list[256]; # set of cpu facilities currently (to be) used
75 KVM does not enforce or limit the cpu model data in any form. Take the information
76 retrieved by means of KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE as hint for reasonable configuration
77 setups. Instruction interceptions triggered by additionally set facility bits that
78 are not handled by KVM need to by imlemented in the VM driver code.
80 Parameters: address of buffer to store/set the processor related cpu
81 data of type struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_processor*.
82 Returns: -EBUSY in case 1 or more vcpus are already activated (only in write case)
83 -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space
84 -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available to process the ioctl
