|
|
==========================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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).
