[PATCH v5 18/18] kvm: arm64: Allow tuning the physical address size for VM
From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 06:43:16 EST
Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new
VM via the kvm_type argument for the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. This
allows us to finalise the stage2 page table as early as possible
and hence perform the right checks on the memory slots
without complication. The size is ecnoded as Log2(PA_Size) in
bits[7:0] of the type field. For backward compatibility the
value 0 is reserved and implies 40bits. Also, lift the limit
of the IPA to host limit and allow lower IPA sizes (e.g, 32).
The userspace could check the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT
for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the
maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Changes since v4:
- Fold the introduction of the KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT to this
patch to allow detection of the availability of the feature for
userspace.
- Document the API
- Restrict the feature only to arm64.
Changes since V3:
- Switch to a CAP, that can be checkd via EXTENSIONS on KVM device
fd, rather than a dedicated ioctl.
