Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

In order to let a VLPI being injected into a guest, the VLPI must
be mapped using the VMAPTI command. When moved to a different vcpu,
it must be moved with the VMOVI command.
These commands are issued via the irq_set_vcpu_affinity method,
making sure we unmap the corresponding host LPI first.
The reverse is also done when the VLPI is unmapped from the guest.

Add the skeleton irq_set_vcpu_affinity method that will be used
to configure VLPIs.

Add the new GICv4 ITS command definitions, most of them, being

We're are going to need to change a bit more than just the enable
bit in the LPI property table in the future. So let's change the
LPI configuration funtion to take a set of bits to be cleared,
and a set of bits to be set.
This way, we'll be able to use it when a guest updates an LPI
property (priority, for example).

As we want to use 2-level tables for VCPUs, let's hack the device
table allocator in order to make it slightly more generic. It
will get reused in subsequent patches.

Just as for the property table, let's move the pending table
allocation to a separate function.

The VCPU tables can be quite sparse as well, and it makes sense
to use indirect tables as well if possible.

Move the LPI property table allocation into its own function, as

Most ITS commands do operate on a collection object, and require
a SYNC command to be performed on that collection in order to
guarantee the execution of the first command.
With GICv4 ITS, another set of commands perform similar operations
on a VPE object, and a VSYNC operations must be executed to guarantee
their execution.
Given the similarities (post a command, perform a synchronization
operation on a sync object), it makes sense to reuse the same
mechanism for both class of commands.
Let's start with turning its_send_single_command into a huge macro
that performs the bulk of the work, and a set of helpers that
make this macro usable for the GICv3 ITS commands.

The various LPI definitions are in the middle of the code, and
would be better placed at the beginning, given that we're going
to use some of them much earlier.
