On POWER9, the Client Architecture Support (CAS) negotiation process determines whether the guest operates in XIVE Legacy compatibility or in XIVE exploitation mode. Now that we have initial guest support for the XIVE interrupt controller, let's inform the hypervisor what we can do. The platform advertises the XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the property "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1 : - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only - 0b10 XIVE legacy or exploitation mode The OS asks for XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the property "ibm,architecture-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1: - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
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.
