From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 23:53:05 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Merge tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=233a806b00e31b3ab8d57a68f1aab40cf1e5eaea;p=linux.git Merge tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes: - Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from hell, but it has gotten a little better. - Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the tool itself. - A major update to the pathname lookup documentation. - Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create references from filenames without all the extra noise. - The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues. Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and warning fixes" * tag 'docs-5.14' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (115 commits) docs: path-lookup: use bare function() rather than literals docs: path-lookup: update symlink description docs: path-lookup: update get_link() ->follow_link description docs: path-lookup: update WALK_GET, WALK_PUT desc docs: path-lookup: no get_link() docs: path-lookup: update i_op->put_link and cookie description docs: path-lookup: i_op->follow_link replaced with i_op->get_link docs: path-lookup: Add macro name to symlink limit description docs: path-lookup: remove filename_mountpoint docs: path-lookup: update do_last() part docs: path-lookup: update path_mountpoint() part docs: path-lookup: update path_to_nameidata() part docs: path-lookup: update follow_managed() part docs: Makefile: Use CONFIG_SHELL not SHELL docs: Take a little noise out of the build process docs: x86: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: virt: kvm: s390-pv-boot.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: userspace-api: landlock.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: trace: ftrace.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup docs: trace: coresight: coresight.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup ... --- 233a806b00e31b3ab8d57a68f1aab40cf1e5eaea diff --cc Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst index b9ddce5638f5f,e86fe34815745..c7b165ca70b6d --- a/Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst +++ b/Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst @@@ -6620,68 -6360,8 +6620,68 @@@ system fingerprint. To prevent userspa by running an enclave in a VM, KVM prevents access to privileged attributes by default. - See Documentation/x86/sgx/2.Kernel-internals.rst for more details. + See Documentation/x86/sgx.rst for more details. +7.26 KVM_CAP_PPC_RPT_INVALIDATE +------------------------------- + +:Capability: KVM_CAP_PPC_RPT_INVALIDATE +:Architectures: ppc +:Type: vm + +This capability indicates that the kernel is capable of handling +H_RPT_INVALIDATE hcall. + +In order to enable the use of H_RPT_INVALIDATE in the guest, +user space might have to advertise it for the guest. For example, +IBM pSeries (sPAPR) guest starts using it if "hcall-rpt-invalidate" is +present in the "ibm,hypertas-functions" device-tree property. + +This capability is enabled for hypervisors on platforms like POWER9 +that support radix MMU. + +7.27 KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE +-------------------------------------- + +:Architectures: x86 +:Parameters: args[0] whether the feature should be enabled or not + +When this capability is enabled, an emulation failure will result in an exit +to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR (except when the emulator was invoked +to handle a VMware backdoor instruction). Furthermore, KVM will now provide up +to 15 instruction bytes for any exit to userspace resulting from an emulation +failure. When these exits to userspace occur use the emulation_failure struct +instead of the internal struct. They both have the same layout, but the +emulation_failure struct matches the content better. It also explicitly +defines the 'flags' field which is used to describe the fields in the struct +that are valid (ie: if KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION_FLAG_INSTRUCTION_BYTES is +set in the 'flags' field then both 'insn_size' and 'insn_bytes' have valid data +in them.) + +7.28 KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE +-------------------- + +:Architectures: arm64 +:Parameters: none + +This capability indicates that KVM (and the hardware) supports exposing the +Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to the guest. It must also be enabled by the +VMM before creating any VCPUs to allow the guest access. Note that MTE is only +available to a guest running in AArch64 mode and enabling this capability will +cause attempts to create AArch32 VCPUs to fail. + +When enabled the guest is able to access tags associated with any memory given +to the guest. KVM will ensure that the tags are maintained during swap or +hibernation of the host; however the VMM needs to manually save/restore the +tags as appropriate if the VM is migrated. + +When this capability is enabled all memory in memslots must be mapped as +not-shareable (no MAP_SHARED), attempts to create a memslot with a +MAP_SHARED mmap will result in an -EINVAL return. + +When enabled the VMM may make use of the ``KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS`` ioctl to +perform a bulk copy of tags to/from the guest. + 8.
