On arm64, the physical address size for a VM (IPA Size limit) is limited
|
||||
to 40bits by default. The limit can be configured if the host supports the
|
||||
extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE. When supported, use
|
||||
KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(IPA_Bits) to set the size in the machine type
|
||||
identifier, where IPA_Bits is the maximum width of any physical
|
||||
address used by the VM. The IPA_Bits is encoded in bits[7-0] of the
|
||||
machine type identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
e.g, to configure a guest to use 48bit physical address size :
|
||||
|
||||
vm_fd = ioctl(dev_fd, KVM_CREATE_VM, KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(48));
|
||||
|
||||
The requested size (IPA_Bits) must be :
|
||||
0 - Implies default size, 40bits (for backward compatibility)
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
N - Implies N bits, where N is a positive integer such that,
|
||||
32 <= N <= Host_IPA_Limit
|
||||
|
||||
Host_IPA_Limit is the maximum possible value for IPA_Bits on the host and
|
||||
is dependent on the CPU capability and the kernel configuration. The limit can
|
||||
be retrieved using KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE of the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
|
||||
ioctl() at run-time.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that configuring the IPA size does not affect the capability
|
||||
exposed by the guest CPUs in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1[PARange]. It only affects
|
||||
size of the address translated by the stage2 level (guest physical to
|
||||
host physical address translations).
