    KVM: arm/arm64: Allow setting the timer IRQ numbers from userspace · 99a1db7a
    Christoffer Dall authored
    First we define an ABI using the vcpu devices that lets userspace set
    the interrupt numbers for the various timers on both the 32-bit and
    64-bit KVM/ARM implementations.
    
    Second, we add the definitions for the groups and attributes introduced
    by the above ABI.  (We add the PMU define on the 32-bit side as well for
    symmetry and it may get used some day.)
    
    Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to
    call into the timer code for anything related to the
    KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group.
    
    Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt
    numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code.
    
    Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which
    is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are
    configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the
    architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not
    configured to use the same IRQ number.
