General description + +The kvm API is a set of ioctls that are issued to control various aspects +of a virtual machine. The ioctls belong to three classes + + - System ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the + whole kvm subsystem. In addition a system ioctl is used to create + virtual machines + + - VM ioctls: These query and set attributes that affect an entire virtual + machine, for example memory layout. In addition a VM ioctl is used to + create virtual cpus (vcpus). + + Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used + to create the VM. + + - vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation + of a single virtual cpu. + + Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the + vcpu. + +2. File descritpors + +The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial +open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle +can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this +handle will create a VM file descripror which can be used to issue VM +ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl on a VM fd will create a virtual cpu +and return a file descriptor pointing to it. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu +fd can be used to control the vcpu, including the important task of +actually running guest code. + +In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means +of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These +kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will +not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by +the API. The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, +and one vcpu per thread. + +3. Extensions + +As of Linux 2.6.22, the KVM ABI has been stabilized: no backward +incompatible change are allowed. However, there is an extension +facility that allows backward-compatible extensions to the API to be +queried and used. + +The extension mechanism is not based on on the Linux version number. +Instead, kvm defines extension identifiers and a facility to query +whether a particular extension identifier is available. If it is, a +set of ioctls is available for application use. + +4. API description + +This section describes ioctls that can be used to control kvm guests. +For each ioctl, the following information is provided along with a +description: + + Capability: which KVM extension provides this ioctl. Can be 'basic', + which means that is will be provided by any kernel that supports + API version 12 (see section 4.1), or a KVM_CAP_xyz constant, which + means availability needs to be checked with KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION + (see section 4.4). + + Architectures: which instruction set architectures provide this ioctl. + x86 includes both i386 and x86_64. + + Type: system, vm, or vcpu. + + Parameters: what parameters are accepted by the ioctl. + + Returns: the return value. General error numbers (EBADF, ENOMEM, EINVAL) + are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are. + +4.1 KVM_GET_API_VERSION + +Capability: basic +Architectures: all +Type: system ioctl +Parameters: none +Returns: the constant KVM_API_VERSION (=12) + +This identifies the API version as the stable kvm API. It is not +expected that this number will change. However, Linux 2.6.20 and +2.6.21 report earlier versions; these are not documented and not +supported. Applications should refuse to run if KVM_GET_API_VERSION +returns a value other than 12. If this check passes, all ioctls +described as 'basic' will be available. + +4.2 KVM_CREATE_VM + +Capability: basic +Architectures: all +Type: system ioctl +Parameters: none +Returns: a VM fd that can be used to control the new virtual machine. + +The new VM has no virtual cpus and no memory. An mmap() of a VM fd +will access the virtual machine's physical address space; offset zero +corresponds to guest physical address zero. Use of mmap() on a VM fd +is discouraged if userspace memory allocation (KVM_CAP_USER_MEMORY) is +available. + +4.3 KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST + +Capability: basic +Architectures: x86 +Type: system +Parameters: struct kvm_msr_list (in/out) +Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error +Errors: + E2BIG: the msr index list is to be to fit in the array specified by + the user. + +struct kvm_msr_list { + __u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */ + __u32 indices[0]; +}; + +This ioctl returns the guest msrs that are supported. The list varies +by kvm version and host processor, but does not change otherwise. The +user fills in the size of the indices array in nmsrs, and in return +kvm adjusts nmsrs to reflect the actual number of msrs and fills in +the indices array with their numbers. + +4.4 KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION + +Capability: basic +Architectures: all +Type: system ioctl +Parameters: extension identifier (KVM_CAP_*) +Returns: 0 if unsupported; 1 (or some other positive integer) if supported + +The API allows the application to query about extensions to the core +kvm API. Userspace passes an extension identifier (an integer) and +receives an integer that describes the extension availability. +Generally 0 means no and 1 means yes, but some extensions may report +additional information in the integer return value. + +4.5 KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE + +Capability: basic +Architectures: all +Type: system ioctl +Parameters: none +Returns: size of vcpu mmap area, in bytes + +The KVM_RUN ioctl (cf.) communicates with userspace via a shared +memory region.

When changing an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest +physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. It may not be +resized. Slots may not overlap. + +The flags field supports just one flag, KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES, which +instructs kvm to keep track of writes to memory within the slot. See +the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. + +It is recommended to use the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl instead +of this API, if available. This newer API allows placing guest memory +at specified locations in the host address space, yielding better +control and easy access. + +4.6 KVM_CREATE_VCPU + +Capability: basic +Architectures: all +Type: vm ioctl +Parameters: vcpu id (apic id on x86) +Returns: vcpu fd on success, -1 on error + +This API adds a vcpu to a virtual machine.
