Cédric Le Goater 4131f83c3d KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: add a control to initialize a source
The XIVE KVM device maintains a list of interrupt sources for the VM
which are allocated in the pool of generic interrupts (IPIs) of the
main XIVE IC controller. These are used for the CPU IPIs as well as
for virtual device interrupts. The IRQ number space is defined by
QEMU.

The XIVE device reuses the source structures of the XICS-on-XIVE
device for the source blocks (2-level tree) and for the source
interrupts. Under XIVE native, the source interrupt caches mostly
configuration information and is less used than under the XICS-on-XIVE
device in which hcalls are still necessary at run-time.

When a source is initialized in KVM, an IPI interrupt source is simply
allocated at the OPAL level and then MASKED. KVM only needs to know
about its type: LSI or MSI.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
