From 8ad6b634928a25971dc42dce101808b1491f87ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anup Patel Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 11:24:19 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT to user space API header Currently, we don't have an exit reason to notify user space about a system-level event (for e.g. system reset or shutdown) triggered by the VCPU. This patch adds exit reason KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT for this purpose. We can also inform user space about the 'type' and architecture specific 'flags' of a system-level event using the kvm_run structure. This newly added KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT will be used by KVM ARM/ARM64 in-kernel PSCI v0.2 support to reset/shutdown VMs. Signed-off-by: Anup Patel Signed-off-by: Pranavkumar Sawargaonkar Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall --- Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt | 15 +++++++++++++++ include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt index 556d056a9bcd..6a5de5643e0b 100644 --- a/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt +++ b/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt @@ -2740,6 +2740,21 @@ It gets triggered whenever both KVM_CAP_PPC_EPR are enabled and an external interrupt has just been delivered into the guest.
