+6. Capabilities that can be enabled
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+There are certain capabilities that change the behavior of the virtual CPU when
|
|
|
|
+enabled. To enable them, please see section 4.37. Below you can find a list of
|
|
|
|
+capabilities and what their effect on the vCPU is when enabling them.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The following information is provided along with the description:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Architectures: which instruction set architectures provide this ioctl.
|
|
|
|
+ x86 includes both i386 and x86_64.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Parameters: what parameters are accepted by the capability.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Returns: the return value. General error numbers (EBADF, ENOMEM, EINVAL)
|
|
|
|
+ are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+6.1 KVM_CAP_PPC_OSI
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Architectures: ppc
|
|
|
|
+Parameters: none
|
|
|
|
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+This capability enables interception of OSI hypercalls that otherwise would
|
|
|
|
+be treated as normal system calls to be injected into the guest. OSI hypercalls
|
|
|
|
+were invented by Mac-on-Linux to have a standardized communication mechanism
|
|
|
|
+between the guest and the host.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_OSI can occur.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+6.2 KVM_CAP_PPC_PAPR
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Architectures: ppc
|
|
|
|
+Parameters: none
|
|
|
|
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+This capability enables interception of PAPR hypercalls. PAPR hypercalls are
|
|
|
|
+done using the hypercall instruction "sc 1".
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+It also sets the guest privilege level to "supervisor" mode. Usually the guest
|
|
|
|
+runs in "hypervisor" privilege mode with a few missing features.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+In addition to the above, it changes the semantics of SDR1. In this mode, the
|
|
|
|
+HTAB address part of SDR1 contains an HVA instead of a GPA, as PAPR keeps the
|
|
|
|
+HTAB invisible to the guest.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+When this capability is enabled, KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL can occur.
