Linux KVM Hypercall: | ||
=================== | ||
X86: | ||
KVM Hypercalls have a three-byte sequence of either the vmcall or the vmmcall | ||
instruction. The hypervisor can replace it with instructions that are | ||
guaranteed to be supported. | ||
|
||
Up to four arguments may be passed in rbx, rcx, rdx, and rsi respectively. | ||
The hypercall number should be placed in rax and the return value will be | ||
placed in rax. No other registers will be clobbered unless explicitly stated | ||
by the particular hypercall. | ||
|
||
S390: | ||
R2-R7 are used for parameters 1-6. In addition, R1 is used for hypercall | ||
number. The return value is written to R2. | ||
|
||
S390 uses diagnose instruction as hypercall (0x500) along with hypercall | ||
number in R1. | ||
|
||
PowerPC: | ||
It uses R3-R10 and hypercall number in R11. R4-R11 are used as output registers. | ||
Return value is placed in R3. | ||
|
||
KVM hypercalls uses 4 byte opcode, that are patched with 'hypercall-instructions' | ||
property inside the device tree's /hypervisor node. | ||
For more information refer to Documentation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt | ||

KVM Hypercalls Documentation | ||
=========================== | ||
The template for each hypercall is: | ||
1. Hypercall name. | ||
2. Architecture(s) | ||
3. Status (deprecated, obsolete, active) | ||
4. Purpose | ||
|
||
1. KVM_HC_VAPIC_POLL_IRQ | ||
------------------------ | ||
Architecture: x86 | ||
Status: active | ||
Purpose: Trigger guest exit so that the host can check for pending | ||
interrupts on reentry. | ||
|
||
2. KVM_HC_MMU_OP | ||
------------------------ | ||
Architecture: x86 | ||
Status: deprecated. | ||
Purpose: Support MMU operations such as writing to PTE, | ||
flushing TLB, release PT. | ||
|
||
3. KVM_HC_FEATURES | ||
------------------------ | ||
Architecture: PPC | ||
Status: active | ||
Purpose: Expose hypercall availability to the guest. On x86 platforms, cpuid | ||
used to enumerate which hypercalls are available. On PPC, either device tree | ||
based lookup ( which is also what EPAPR dictates) OR KVM specific enumeration | ||
mechanism (which is this hypercall) can be used. | ||
|
||
4. KVM_HC_PPC_MAP_MAGIC_PAGE | ||
------------------------ | ||
Architecture: PPC | ||
Status: active | ||
Purpose: To enable communication between the hypervisor and guest there is a | ||
shared page that contains parts of supervisor visible register state. | ||
The guest can map this shared page to access its supervisor register through | ||
memory using this hypercall. |
