+POWER9 eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine (XIVE Gen1)
+==========================================================
+
+Device types supported:
+ KVM_DEV_TYPE_XIVE POWER9 XIVE Interrupt Controller generation 1
+
+This device acts as a VM interrupt controller. It provides the KVM
+interface to configure the interrupt sources of a VM in the underlying
+POWER9 XIVE interrupt controller.
+
+Only one XIVE instance may be instantiated. A guest XIVE device
+requires a POWER9 host and the guest OS should have support for the
+XIVE native exploitation interrupt mode. If not, it should run using
+the legacy interrupt mode, referred as XICS (POWER7/8).
+
+* Device Mappings
+
+ The KVM device exposes different MMIO ranges of the XIVE HW which
+ are required for interrupt management. These are exposed to the
+ guest in VMAs populated with a custom VM fault handler.
+
+ 1. Thread Interrupt Management Area (TIMA)
+
+ Each thread has an associated Thread Interrupt Management context
+ composed of a set of registers. These registers let the thread
+ handle priority management and interrupt acknowledgment. The most
+ important are :
+
+ - Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB)
+ - Current Processor Priority (CPPR)
+ - Notification Source Register (NSR)
+
+ They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing
+ a view with a different privilege. The first page is for the
+ physical thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the
+ third (operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the
+ guest.
+
+ 2. Event State Buffer (ESB)
+
+ Each source is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB) with
+ either a pair of even/odd pair of pages which provides commands to
+ manage the source: to trigger, to EOI, to turn off the source for
+ instance.
+
+ 3. Device pass-through
+
+ When a device is passed-through into the guest, the source
+ interrupts are from a different HW controller (PHB4) and the ESB
+ pages exposed to the guest should accommadate this change.
+
+ The passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped() and
+ kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped() are called when the device HW irqs are
+ mapped into or unmapped from the guest IRQ number space. The KVM
+ device extends these helpers to clear the ESB pages of the guest IRQ
+ number being mapped and then lets the VM fault handler repopulate.
+ The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW
+ interrupt of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB
+ page if the device has being removed.
+
+ The ESB remapping is fully transparent to the guest and the OS
+ device driver. All handling is done within VFIO and the above
+ helpers in KVM-PPC.
+
+* Groups:
+
+ 1. KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_CTRL
+ Provides global controls on the device
+ Attributes:
+ 1.1 KVM_DEV_XIVE_RESET (write only)
+ Resets the interrupt controller configuration for sources and event

+ Sync all the sources and queues and mark the EQ pages dirty. This
+ to make sure that a consistent memory state is captured when
+ migrating the VM.

+* VCPU state
+
+ The XIVE IC maintains VP interrupt state in an internal structure
+ called the NVT. When a VP is not dispatched on a HW processor
+ thread, this structure can be updated by HW if the VP is the target
+ of an event notification.
+
+ It is important for migration to capture the cached IPB from the NVT
+ as it synthesizes the priorities of the pending interrupts. We
+ capture a bit more to report debug information.

+
+* Migration:
+
+ Saving the state of a VM using the XIVE native exploitation mode
+ should follow a specific sequence. When the VM is stopped :
+
+ 1. Mask all sources (PQ=01) to stop the flow of events.
+
+ 2. Sync the XIVE device with the KVM control KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC to
+ flush any in-flight event notification and to stabilize the EQs. At
+ this stage, the EQ pages are marked dirty to make sure they are
+ transferred in the migration sequence.
+
+ 3. Capture the state of the source targeting, the EQs configuration
+ and the state of thread interrupt context registers.
+
+ Restore is similar :
+
+ 1. Restore the EQ configuration. As targeting depends on it.
+ 2. Restore targeting
+ 3. Restore the thread interrupt contexts
+ 4. Restore the source states
+ 5. Let the vCPU run
