| 2021-02-09 | virt: acrn: Introduce ioeventfd | Shuo Liu | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd signal when written to by a User VM. ACRN userspace can register any arbitrary I/O address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd to a specific end-point of interest for handling. Vhost is a kernel-level virtio server which uses eventfd for signalling. To support vhost on ACRN, ioeventfd is introduced in HSM. A new I/O client dedicated to ioeventfd is associated with a User VM during VM creation. HSM provides ioctls to associate an I/O region with a eventfd. The I/O client signals a eventfd once its corresponding I/O region is matched with an I/O request.

| 2021-02-09 | virt: acrn: Introduce ACRN HSM basic driver | Shuo Liu | 1 | -0/+14 | |
| ACRN Hypervisor Service Module (HSM) is a kernel module in Service VM which communicates with ACRN userspace through ioctls and talks to ACRN Hypervisor through hypercalls. Add a basic HSM driver which allows Service VM userspace to communicate with ACRN. The following patches will add more ioctls, guest VM memory mapping caching, I/O request processing, ioeventfd and irqfd into this module. HSM exports a char device interface (/dev/acrn_hsm) to userspace.
