12 Chapter 36. Coprocessor services
13 The following APIs provide access via the Hypervisor to hardware assisted data processing functionality.
14 These APIs may only be provided by certain platforms, and may not be available to all virtual machines
15 even on supported platforms. Restrictions on the use of these APIs may be imposed in order to support
16 live-migration and other system management activities.
17
18 36.1. Data Analytics Accelerator
19 The Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) functionality is a collection of hardware coprocessors that provide
20 high speed processoring of database-centric operations. The coprocessors may support one or more of
21 the following data query operations: search, extraction, compression, decompression, and translation. The
22 functionality offered may vary by virtual machine implementation.
23
24 The DAX is a virtual device to sun4v guests, with supported data operations indicated by the virtual device
25 compatibility property. Functionality is accessed through the submission of Command Control Blocks
26 (CCBs) via the ccb_submit API function. The operations are processed asynchronously, with the status
27 of the submitted operations reported through a Completion Area linked to each CCB. Each CCB has a
28 separate Completion Area and, unless execution order is specifically restricted through the use of serial-
29 conditional flags, the execution order of submitted CCBs is arbitrary. Likewise, the time to completion
30 for a given CCB is never guaranteed.
31
32 Guest software may implement a software timeout on CCB operations, and if the timeout is exceeded, the
33 operation may be cancelled or killed via the ccb_kill API function. It is recommended for guest software
34 to implement a software timeout to account for certain RAS errors which may result in lost CCBs. It is
35 recommended such implementation use the ccb_info API function to check the status of a CCB prior to
36 killing it in order to determine if the CCB is still in queue, or may have been lost due to a RAS error.
37
38 There is no fixed limit on the number of outstanding CCBs guest software may have queued in the virtual
39 machine, however, internal resource limitations within the virtual machine can cause CCB submissions
40 to be temporarily rejected with EWOULDBLOCK. In such cases, guests should continue to attempt
41 submissions until they succeed; waiting for an outstanding CCB to complete is not necessary, and would
42 not be a guarantee that a future submission would succeed.
43
44 The availability of DAX coprocessor command service is indicated by the presence of the DAX virtual
45 device node in the guest MD (Section 8.24.17, “Database Analytics Accelerators (DAX) virtual-device
46 node”).
47
48 36.1.1. DAX Compatibility Property
49 The query functionality may vary based on the compatibility property of the virtual device:

108 Version 0 and 1 CCBs are available. Only version 0 CCBs may use Huffman encoded data, whereas only
109 version 1 CCBs may use OZIP.
110
111 36.1.2. DAX Virtual Device Interrupts
112 The DAX virtual device has multiple interrupts associated with it which may be used by the guest if
113 desired. The number of device interrupts available to the guest is indicated in the virtual device node of the
114 guest MD (Section 8.24.17, “Database Analytics Accelerators (DAX) virtual-device node”). If the device
115 node indicates N interrupts available, the guest may use any value from 0 to N - 1 (inclusive) in a CCB
116 interrupt number field. Using values outside this range will result in the CCB being rejected for an invalid
117 field value.
118
119 The interrupts may be bound and managed using the standard sun4v device interrupts API (Chapter 16,
120 Device interrupt services). Sysino interrupts are not available for DAX devices.
121
122 36.2. Coprocessor Control Block (CCB)
123 CCBs are either 64 or 128 bytes long, depending on the operation type. The exact contents of the CCB
124 are command specific, but all CCBs contain at least one memory buffer address. All memory locations
125
126

128 Coprocessor services
129
130
131 referenced by a CCB must be pinned in memory until the CCB either completes execution or is killed
132 via the ccb_kill API call. Changes in virtual address mappings occurring after CCB submission are not
133 guaranteed to be visible, and as such all virtual address updates need to be synchronized with CCB
134 execution.
135
136 All CCBs begin with a common 32-bit header.
137

203 The Long CCB flag indicates whether the submitted CCB is 64 or 128 bytes long; value is 0 for 64 bytes
204 and 1 for 128 bytes.
205
206 The Serial and Conditional flags allow simple relative ordering between CCBs. Any CCB with the Serial
207 flag set will execute sequentially relative to any previous CCB that is also marked as Serial in the same
208 CCB submission. CCBs without the Serial flag set execute independently, even if they are between CCBs
209 with the Serial flag set. CCBs marked solely with the Serial flag will execute upon the completion of the
210 previous Serial CCB, regardless of the completion status of that CCB. The Conditional flag allows CCBs
211 to conditionally execute based on the successful execution of the closest CCB marked with the Serial flag.
212 A CCB may only be conditional on exactly one CCB, however, a CCB may be marked both Conditional
213 and Serial to allow execution chaining. The flags do NOT allow fan-out chaining, where multiple CCBs
214 execute in parallel based on the completion of another CCB.
215
216 The Pipeline flag is an optimization that directs the output of one CCB (the "source" CCB) directly to
217 the input of the next CCB (the "target" CCB). The target CCB thus does not need to read the input from
218 memory. The Pipeline flag is advisory and may be dropped.
219
220 Both the Pipeline and Serial bits must be set in the source CCB. The Conditional bit must be set in the
221 target CCB. Exactly one CCB must be made conditional on the source CCB; either 0 or 2 target CCBs
222 is invalid. However, Pipelines can be extended beyond two CCBs: the sequence would start with a CCB
223 with both the Pipeline and Serial bits set, proceed through CCBs with the Pipeline, Serial, and Conditional
224 bits set, and terminate at a CCB that has the Conditional bit set, but not the Pipeline bit.
225
226
227 512
228 Coprocessor services
229
230
231 The input of the target CCB must start within 64 bytes of the output of the source CCB or the pipeline flag
232 will be ignored. All CCBs in a pipeline must be submitted in the same call to ccb_submit.
233
234 The various address type fields indicate how the various address values used in the CCB should be
235 interpreted by the virtual machine. Not all of the types specified are used by every CCB format. Types
236 which are not applicable to the given CCB command should be indicated as type 0 (No address). Virtual
237 addresses used in the CCB must have translation entries present in either the TLB or a configured TSB
238 for the submitting virtual processor. Virtual addresses which cannot be translated by the virtual machine
239 will result in the CCB submission being rejected, with the causal virtual address indicated. The CCB
240 may be resubmitted after inserting the translation, or the address may be translated by guest software and
241 resubmitted using the real address translation.
242
243 36.2.1. Query CCB Command Formats
244 36.2.1.1. Supported Data Formats, Elements Sizes and Offsets
245 Data for query commands may be encoded in multiple possible formats. The data query commands use a
246 common set of values to indicate the encoding formats of the data being processed. Some encoding formats
247 require multiple data streams for processing, requiring the specification of both primary data formats (the
248 encoded data) and secondary data streams (meta-data for the encoded data).
249
250 36.2.1.1.1. Primary Input Format
251
252 The primary input format code is a 4-bit field when it is used. There are 10 primary input formats available.
253 The packed formats are not endian neutral. Code values not listed below are reserved.
254
255 Code Format Description
256 0x0 Fixed width byte packed Up to 16 bytes
257 0x1 Fixed width bit packed Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits (CCB version
258 1); bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
259 within a byte
260 0x2 Variable width byte packed Data stream of lengths must be provided as a secondary
261 input
262 0x4 Fixed width byte packed with run Up to 16 bytes; data stream of run lengths must be
263 length encoding provided as a secondary input
264 0x5 Fixed width bit packed with run Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits (CCB version
265 length encoding 1); bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
266 within a byte; data stream of run lengths must be provided
267 as a secondary input
268 0x8 Fixed width byte packed with Up to 16 bytes before the encoding; compressed stream
269 Huffman (CCB version 0) or bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
270 OZIP (CCB version 1) encoding within a byte; pointer to the encoding table must be
271 provided
272 0x9 Fixed width bit packed with Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits (CCB version
273 Huffman (CCB version 0) or 1); compressed stream bits are read most significant bit to
274 OZIP (CCB version 1) encoding least significant bit within a byte; pointer to the encoding
275 table must be provided
276 0xA Variable width byte packed with Up to 16 bytes before the encoding; compressed stream
277 Huffman (CCB version 0) or bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
278 OZIP (CCB version 1) encoding within a byte; data stream of lengths must be provided as
279 a secondary input; pointer to the encoding table must be
280 provided

285
286
287 Code Format Description
288 0xC Fixed width byte packed with Up to 16 bytes before the encoding; compressed stream
289 run length encoding, followed by bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
290 Huffman (CCB version 0) or within a byte; data stream of run lengths must be provided
291 OZIP (CCB version 1) encoding as a secondary input; pointer to the encoding table must
292 be provided
293 0xD Fixed width bit packed with Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits(CCB version 1)
294 run length encoding, followed by before the encoding; compressed stream bits are read most
295 Huffman (CCB version 0) or significant bit to least significant bit within a byte; data
296 OZIP (CCB version 1) encoding stream of run lengths must be provided as a secondary
297 input; pointer to the encoding table must be provided
298
299 If OZIP encoding is used, there must be no reserved bytes in the table.
300
301 36.2.1.1.2. Primary Input Element Size
302
303 For primary input data streams with fixed size elements, the element size must be indicated in the CCB
304 command. The size is encoded as the number of bits or bytes, minus one. The valid value range for this
305 field depends on the input format selected, as listed in the table above.
306
307 36.2.1.1.3. Secondary Input Format
308
309 For primary input data streams which require a secondary input stream, the secondary input stream is
310 always encoded in a fixed width, bit-packed format. The bits are read from most significant bit to least
311 significant bit within a byte. There are two encoding options for the secondary input stream data elements,
312 depending on whether the value of 0 is needed:
313
314 Secondary Input Description
315 Format Code
316 0 Element is stored as value minus 1 (0 evaluates to 1, 1 evaluates
317 to 2, etc)
318 1 Element is stored as value
319
320 36.2.1.1.4. Secondary Input Element Size
321
322 Secondary input element size is encoded as a two bit field:
323
324 Secondary Input Size Description
325 Code
326 0x0 1 bit
327 0x1 2 bits
328 0x2 4 bits
329 0x3 8 bits
330
331 36.2.1.1.5. Input Element Offsets
332
333 Bit-wise input data streams may have any alignment within the base addressed byte. The offset, specified
334 from most significant bit to least significant bit, is provided as a fixed 3 bit field for each input type. A
335 value of 0 indicates that the first input element begins at the most significant bit in the first byte, and a
336 value of 7 indicates it begins with the least significant bit.
337
338 This field should be zero for any byte-wise primary input data streams.

342 Coprocessor services
343
344
345 36.2.1.1.6. Output Format
346
347 Query commands support multiple sizes and encodings for output data streams. There are four possible
348 output encodings, and up to four supported element sizes per encoding. Not all output encodings are
349 supported for every command. The format is indicated by a 4-bit field in the CCB:
350
351 Output Format Code Description
352 0x0 Byte aligned, 1 byte elements
353 0x1 Byte aligned, 2 byte elements
354 0x2 Byte aligned, 4 byte elements
355 0x3 Byte aligned, 8 byte elements
356 0x4 16 byte aligned, 16 byte elements
357 0x5 Reserved
358 0x6 Reserved
359 0x7 Reserved
360 0x8 Packed vector of single bit elements
361 0x9 Reserved
362 0xA Reserved
363 0xB Reserved
364 0xC Reserved
365 0xD 2 byte elements where each element is the index value of a bit,
366 from an bit vector, which was 1.
367 0xE 4 byte elements where each element is the index value of a bit,
368 from an bit vector, which was 1.
369 0xF Reserved
370
371 36.2.1.1.7. Application Data Integrity (ADI)
372
373 On platforms which support ADI, the ADI version number may be specified for each separate memory
374 access type used in the CCB command. ADI checking only occurs when reading data. When writing data,
375 the specified ADI version number overwrites any existing ADI value in memory.
376
377 An ADI version value of 0 or 0xF indicates the ADI checking is disabled for that data access, even if it is
378 enabled in memory. By setting the appropriate flag in CCB_SUBMIT (Section 36.3.1, “ccb_submit”) it is
379 also an option to disable ADI checking for all inputs accessed via virtual address for all CCBs submitted
380 during that hypercall invocation.
381
382 The ADI value is only guaranteed to be checked on the first 64 bytes of each data access. Mismatches on
383 subsequent data chunks may not be detected, so guest software should be careful to use page size checking
384 to protect against buffer overruns.
385
386 36.2.1.1.8. Page size checking
387
388 All data accesses used in CCB commands must be bounded within a single memory page. When addresses
389 are provided using a virtual address, the page size for checking is extracted from the TTE for that virtual
390 address. When using real addresses, the guest must supply the page size in the same field as the address
391 value. The page size must be one of the sizes supported by the underlying virtual machine. Using a value
392 that is not supported may result in the CCB submission being rejected or the generation of a CCB parsing
393 error in the completion area.

400 36.2.1.2. Extract command
401
402 Converts an input vector in one format to an output vector in another format. All input format types are
403 supported.
404
405 The only supported output format is a padded, byte-aligned output stream, using output codes 0x0 - 0x4.
406 When the specified output element size is larger than the extracted input element size, zeros are padded to
407 the extracted input element. First, if the decompressed input size is not a whole number of bytes, 0 bits are
408 padded to the most significant bit side till the next byte boundary. Next, if the output element size is larger
409 than the byte padded input element, bytes of value 0 are added based on the Padding Direction bit in the
410 CCB. If the output element size is smaller than the byte-padded input element size, the input element is
411 truncated by dropped from the least significant byte side until the selected output size is reached.
412
413 The return value of the CCB completion area is invalid. The “number of elements processed” field in the
414 CCB completion area will be valid.
415
416 The extract CCB is a 64-byte “short format” CCB.
417
418 The extract CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
419 machine:
420
421
422 struct extract_ccb {
423 uint32_t header;
424 uint32_t control;
425 uint64_t completion;
426 uint64_t primary_input;
427 uint64_t data_access_control;
428 uint64_t secondary_input;
429 uint64_t reserved;
430 uint64_t output;
431 uint64_t table;
432 };

472 the device interrupt number specified in the lower bits of this
473 completion word. If 0, the lower bits of this completion word
474 are ignored.
475 [58:6] Completion area address bits [58:6]. Address type is

484 page size code for the page boundary checking the guest wants
485 the virtual machine to use when accessing this data stream
486 (checking is only guaranteed to be performed when using API
487 version 1.1 and later). If using a virtual address, this field will
488 be used as as primary input address bits [59:56].

590 36.2.1.3. Scan commands
591
592 The scan commands search a stream of input data elements for values which match the selection criteria.
593 All the input format types are supported. There are multiple formats for the scan commands, allowing the
594 scan to search for exact matches to one value, exact matches to either of two values, or any value within
595 a specified range. The specific type of scan is indicated by the command code in the CCB header. For the
596 scan range commands, the boundary conditions can be specified as greater-than-or-equal-to a value, less-
597 than-or-equal-to a value, or both by using two boundary values.
598
599 There are two supported formats for the output stream: the bit vector and index array formats (codes 0x8,
600 0xD, and 0xE). For the standard scan command using the bit vector output, for each input element there
601 exists one bit in the vector that is set if the input element matched the scan criteria, or clear if not. The
602 inverted scan command inverts the polarity of the bits in the output. The most significant bit of the first
603 byte of the output stream corresponds to the first element in the input stream. The standard index array
604 output format contains one array entry for each input element that matched the scan criteria. Each array
605
606
607
608 519
609 Coprocessor services
610
611
612 entry is the index of an input element that matched the scan criteria. An inverted scan command produces
613 a similar array, but of all the input elements which did NOT match the scan criteria.
614
615 The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of input elements found which match
616 the scan criteria (or number that did not match for the inverted scans). The “number of elements processed”
617 field in the CCB completion area will be valid, indicating the number of input elements processed.
618
619 These commands are 128-byte “long format” CCBs.
620
621 The scan CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
622 machine:
623
624
625 struct scan_ccb {

722 36.2.1.4. Translate commands
723
724 The translate commands takes an input array of indices, and a table of single bit values indexed by those
725 indices, and outputs a bit vector or index array created by reading the tables bit value at each index in
726 the input array. The output should therefore contain exactly one bit per index in the input data stream,
727 when outputting as a bit vector. When outputting as an index array, the number of elements depends on the
728 values read in the bit table, but will always be less than, or equal to, the number of input elements. Only
729 a restricted subset of the possible input format types are supported. No variable width or Huffman/OZIP
730 encoded input streams are allowed. The primary input data element size must be 3 bytes or less.
731
732 The maximum table index size allowed is 15 bits, however, larger input elements may be used to provide
733 additional processing of the output values. If 2 or 3 byte values are used, the least significant 15 bits are
734 used as an index into the bit table. The most significant 9 bits (when using 3-byte input elements) or single
735 bit (when using 2-byte input elements) are compared against a fixed 9-bit test value provided in the CCB.
736 If the values match, the value from the bit table is used as the output element value. If the values do not
737 match, the output data element value is forced to 0.
738
739 In the inverted translate operation, the bit value read from bit table is inverted prior to its use. The additional
740 additional processing based on any additional non-index bits remains unchanged, and still forces the output
741 element value to 0 on a mismatch. The specific type of translate command is indicated by the command
742 code in the CCB header.
743
744 There are two supported formats for the output stream: the bit vector and index array formats (codes 0x8,
745 0xD, and 0xE). The index array format is an array of indices of bits which would have been set if the
746 output format was a bit array.
747
748 The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of bits set in the output bit vector,
749 or number of elements in the output index array. The “number of elements processed” field in the CCB
750 completion area will be valid, indicating the number of input elements processed.
751
752 These commands are 64-byte “short format” CCBs.
753
754 The translate CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
755 machine:
756
757
758 struct translate_ccb {
759 uint32_t header;

833 36.2.1.5. Select command
834 The select command filters the primary input data stream by using a secondary input bit vector to determine
835 which input elements to include in the output. For each bit set at a given index N within the bit vector,
836 the Nth input element is included in the output. If the bit is not set, the element is not included. Only a
837 restricted subset of the possible input format types are supported. No variable width or run length encoded
838 input streams are allowed, since the secondary input stream is used for the filtering bit vector.
839
840 The only supported output format is a padded, byte-aligned output stream. The stream follows the same
841 rules and restrictions as padded output stream described in Section 36.2.1.2, “Extract command”.
842
843 The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of bits set in the input bit vector. The
844 "number of elements processed" field in the CCB completion area will be valid, indicating the number
845 of input elements processed.
846
847 The select CCB is a 64-byte “short format” CCB.
848
849 The select CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian

907 36.2.1.6. No-op and Sync commands
908 The no-op (no operation) command is a CCB which has no processing effect. The CCB, when processed
909 by the virtual machine, simply updates the completion area with its execution status. The CCB may have
910 the serial-conditional flags set in order to restrict when it executes.
911
912 The sync command is a variant of the no-op command which with restricted execution timing. A sync
913 command CCB will only execute when all previous commands submitted in the same request have
914 completed. This is stronger than the conditional flag sequencing, which is only dependent on a single
915 previous serial CCB. While the relative ordering is guaranteed, virtual machine implementations with
916 shared hardware resources may cause the sync command to wait for longer than the minimum required
917 time.
918
919 The return value of the CCB completion area is invalid for these CCBs. The “number of elements
920 processed” field is also invalid for these CCBs.

1024 The CCB completion area should be treated as read-only by guest software. The CCB execution status
1025 byte will be cleared by the Hypervisor to reflect the pending execution status when the CCB is submitted
1026 successfully. All other fields are considered invalid upon CCB submission until the CCB execution status
1027 byte becomes non-zero.
1028
1029 CCBs which complete with status 0x2 or 0x3 may produce partial results and/or side effects due to partial
1030 execution of the CCB command. Some valid data may be accessible depending on the fault type, however,
1031 it is recommended that guest software treat the destination buffer as being in an unknown state. If a CCB
1032 completes with a status byte of 0x2, the error reason code byte can be read to determine what corrective
1033 action should be taken.
1034
1035 A buffer overflow indicates that the results of the operation exceeded the size of the output buffer indicated
1036 in the CCB. The operation can be retried by resubmitting the CCB with a larger output buffer.
1037
1038 A CCB decoding error indicates that the CCB contained some invalid field values. It may be also be
1039 triggered if the CCB output is directed at a non-existent secondary input and the pipelining hint is followed.
1040
1041 A page overflow error indicates that the operation required accessing a memory location beyond the page
1042 size associated with a given address. No data will have been read or written past the page boundary, but
1043 partial results may have been written to the destination buffer. The CCB can be resubmitted with a larger
1044 page size memory allocation to complete the operation.

1050
1051 In the case of pipelined CCBs, a page overflow error will be triggered if the output from the pipeline source
1052 CCB ends before the input of the pipeline target CCB. Page boundaries are ignored when the pipeline
1053 hint is followed.
1054
1055 Command kill indicates that the CCB execution was halted or prevented by use of the ccb_kill API call.
1056
1057 Command timeout indicates that the CCB execution began, but did not complete within a pre-determined
1058 limit set by the virtual machine. The command may have produced some or no output. The CCB may be
1059 resubmitted with no alterations.
1060
1061 ADI miscompare indicates that the memory buffer version specified in the CCB did not match the value
1062 in memory when accessed by the virtual machine. Guest software should not attempt to resubmit the CCB
1063 without determining the cause of the version mismatch.
1064
1065 A data format error indicates that the input data stream did not follow the specified data input formatting
1066 selected in the CCB.
1067
1068 Some CCBs which encounter hardware errors may be resubmitted without change. Persistent hardware
1069 errors may result in multiple failures until RAS software can identify and isolate the faulty component.
1070
1071 The output size field indicates the number of bytes of valid output in the destination buffer. This field is
1072 not valid for all possible CCB commands.
1073
1074 The runtime field indicates the execution time of the CCB command once it leaves the internal virtual
1075 machine queue. The time units are fixed, but unspecified, allowing only relative timing comparisons
1076 by guest software. The time units may also vary by hardware platform, and should not be construed to
1077 represent any absolute time value.
1078
1079 Some data query commands process data in units of elements. If applicable to the command, the number of
1080 elements processed is indicated in the listed field. This field is not valid for all possible CCB commands.
1081
1082 The return value and extended return value fields are output locations for commands which do not use
1083 a destination output buffer, or have secondary return results. The field is not valid for all possible CCB
1084 commands.

1099 Submit one or more coprocessor control blocks (CCBs) for evaluation and processing by the virtual
1100 machine. The CCBs are passed in a linear array indicated by address. length indicates the size of
1101 the array in bytes.
1102
1103
1104 528
1105 Coprocessor services
1106
1107
1108 The address should be aligned to the size indicated by length, rounded up to the nearest power of
1109 two. Virtual machines implementations may reject submissions which do not adhere to that alignment.
1110 length must be a multiple of 64 bytes. If length is zero, the maximum supported array length will be
1111 returned as length in ret1. In all other cases, the length value in ret1 will reflect the number of bytes
1112 successfully consumed from the input CCB array.
1113
1114 Implementation note
1115 Virtual machines should never reject submissions based on the alignment of address if the
1116 entire array is contained within a single memory page of the smallest page size supported by the
1117 virtual machine.
1118
1119 A guest may choose to submit addresses used in this API function, including the CCB array address,
1120 as either a real or virtual addresses, with the type of each address indicated in flags. Virtual addresses
1121 must be present in either the TLB or an active TSB to be processed. The translation context for virtual
1122 addresses is determined by a combination of CCB contents and the flags argument.
1123
1124 The flags argument is divided into multiple fields defined as follows:
1125
1126
1127 Bits Field Description
1128 [63:16] Reserved
1129 [15] Disable ADI for VA reads (in API 2.0)
1130 Reserved (in API 1.0)
1131 [14] Virtual addresses within CCBs are translated in privileged context
1132 [13:12] Alternate translation context for virtual addresses within CCBs:
1133 0b'00 CCBs requesting alternate context are rejected
1134 0b'01 Reserved
1135 0b'10 CCBs requesting alternate context use secondary context
1136 0b'11 CCBs requesting alternate context use nucleus context
1137 [11:9] Reserved

1155 529
1156 Coprocessor services
1157
1158
1159 The CCB submission type and address type for the CCB array must be provided in the flags argument.
1160 All other fields are optional values which change the default behavior of the CCB processing.
1161
1162 When set to one, the "Disable ADI for VA reads" bit will turn off ADI checking when using a virtual
1163 address to load data. ADI checking will still be done when loading real-addressed memory. This bit is only
1164 available when using major version 2 of the coprocessor API group; at major version 1 it is reserved. For
1165 more information about using ADI and DAX, see Section 36.2.1.1.7, “Application Data Integrity (ADI)”.
1166
1167 By default, all virtual addresses are treated as user addresses. If the virtual address translations are
1168 privileged, they must be marked as such in the appropriate flags field. The virtual addresses used within
1169 the submitted CCBs must all be translated with the same privilege level.
1170
1171 By default, all virtual addresses used within the submitted CCBs are translated using the primary context
1172 active at the time of the submission. The address type field within a CCB allows each address to request
1173 translation in an alternate address context. The address context used when the alternate address context is
1174 requested is selected in the flags argument.
1175
1176 The all-or-nothing flag specifies whether the virtual machine should allow partial submissions of the
1177 input CCB array. When using CCBs with serial-conditional flags, it is strongly recommended to use
1178 the all-or-nothing flag to avoid broken conditional chains. Using long CCB chains on a machine under
1179 high coprocessor load may make this impractical, however, and require submitting without the flag.
1180 When submitting serial-conditional CCBs without the all-or-nothing flag, guest software must manually
1181 implement the serial-conditional behavior at any point where the chain was not submitted in a single API
1182 call, and resubmission of the remaining CCBs should clear any conditional flag that might be set in the
1183 first remaining CCB. Failure to do so will produce indeterminate CCB execution status and ordering.
1184
1185 When the all-or-nothing flag is not specified, callers should check the value of length in ret1 to determine
1186 how many CCBs from the array were successfully submitted. Any remaining CCBs can be resubmitted
1187 without modifications.
1188
1189 The value of length in ret1 is also valid when the API call returns an error, and callers should always
1190 check its value to determine which CCBs in the array were already processed. This will additionally
1191 identify which CCB encountered the processing error, and was not submitted successfully.
1192
1193 If the queue info flag is used during submission, and at least one CCB was successfully submitted, the
1194 length value in ret1 will be a multi-field value defined as follows:
1195 Bits Field Description
1196 [63:48] DAX unit instance identifier
1197 [47:32] DAX queue instance identifier
1198 [31:16] Reserved
1199 [15:0] Number of CCB bytes successfully submitted
1200
1201 The value of status data depends on the status value. See error status code descriptions for details.
1202 The value is undefined for status values that do not specifically list a value for the status data.
1203
1204 The API has a reserved input and output register which will be used in subsequent minor versions of this
1205 API function. Guest software implementations should treat that register as voltile across the function call
1206 in order to maintain forward compatibility.
1207
1208 36.3.1.1. Errors
1209 EOK One or more CCBs have been accepted and enqueued in the virtual machine
1210 and no errors were been encountered during submission. Some submitted
1211 CCBs may not have been enqueued due to internal virtual machine limitations,
1212 and may be resubmitted without changes.

1217
1218
1219 EWOULDBLOCK An internal resource conflict within the virtual machine has prevented it from
1220 being able to complete the CCB submissions sufficiently quickly, requiring
1221 it to abandon processing before it was complete. Some CCBs may have been
1222 successfully enqueued prior to the block, and all remaining CCBs may be
1223 resubmitted without changes.
1224 EBADALIGN CCB array is not on a 64-byte boundary, or the array length is not a multiple
1225 of 64 bytes.
1226 ENORADDR A real address used either for the CCB array, or within one of the submitted
1227 CCBs, is not valid for the guest. Some CCBs may have been enqueued prior
1228 to the error being detected.
1229 ENOMAP A virtual address used either for the CCB array, or within one of the submitted
1230 CCBs, could not be translated by the virtual machine using either the TLB
1231 or TSB contents. The submission may be retried after adding the required
1232 mapping, or by converting the virtual address into a real address. Due to the
1233 shared nature of address translation resources, there is no theoretical limit on
1234 the number of times the translation may fail, and it is recommended all guests
1235 implement some real address based backup. The virtual address which failed
1236 translation is returned as status data in ret2. Some CCBs may have been
1237 enqueued prior to the error being detected.
1238 EINVAL The virtual machine detected an invalid CCB during submission, or invalid
1239 input arguments, such as bad flag values. Note that not all invalid CCB values
1240 will be detected during submission, and some may be reported as errors in the
1241 completion area instead. Some CCBs may have been enqueued prior to the
1242 error being detected. This error may be returned if the CCB version is invalid.
1243 ETOOMANY The request was submitted with the all-or-nothing flag set, and the array size is
1244 greater than the virtual machine can support in a single request. The maximum
1245 supported size for the current virtual machine can be queried by submitting a
1246 request with a zero length array, as described above.
1247 ENOACCESS The guest does not have permission to submit CCBs, or an address used in a
1248 CCBs lacks sufficient permissions to perform the required operation (no write
1249 permission on the destination buffer address, for example). A virtual address
1250 which fails permission checking is returned as status data in ret2. Some
1251 CCBs may have been enqueued prior to the error being detected.
1252 EUNAVAILABLE The requested CCB operation could not be performed at this time. The
1253 restricted operation availability may apply only to the first unsuccessfully
1254 submitted CCB, or may apply to a larger scope. The status should not be
1255 interpreted as permanent, and the guest should attempt to submit CCBs in
1256 the future which had previously been unable to be performed. The status
1257 data provides additional information about scope of the restricted availability
1258 as follows:
1259 Value Description
1260 0 Processing for the exact CCB instance submitted was unavailable,
1261 and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation. The
1262 guest should continue to submit all other CCBs, and assume no
1263 restrictions beyond this exact CCB instance.
1264 1 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs using the requested opcode,
1265 and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation. The
1266 guest should continue to submit all other CCBs that use different
1267 opcodes, but can expect continued rejections of CCBs using the
1268 same opcode in the near future.

1276 2 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs using the requested CCB
1277 version, and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation.
1278 The guest should continue to submit all other CCBs that use
1279 different CCB versions, but can expect continued rejections of
1280 CCBs using the same CCB version in the near future.
1281 3 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs on the submitting vcpu,
1282 and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation or resubmit
1283 the CCB on a different vcpu. The guest should continue to submit
1284 CCBs on all other vcpus but can expect continued rejections of all
1285 CCBs on this vcpu in the near future.
1286 4 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs, and it is recommended
1287 the guest emulate the operation. The guest should expect all CCB
1288 submissions to be similarly rejected in the near future.

1311 ENQUEUED 1 The requested CCB is current in a queue awaiting execution.
1312 INPROGRESS 2 The CCB has been fetched and is currently being executed. It may still
1313 be possible to stop the execution using the ccb_kill hypercall.
1314 NOTFOUND 3 The CCB could not be located in the virtual machine, and does not
1315 appear to have been executed. This may occur if the CCB was lost
1316 due to a hardware error, or the CCB may not have been successfully
1317 submitted to the virtual machine in the first place.
1318
1319 Implementation note
1320 Some platforms may not be able to report CCBs that are currently being processed, and therefore
1321 guest software should invoke the ccb_kill hypercall prior to assuming the request CCB will never
1322 be executed because it was in the NOTFOUND state.

1363 and actions taken by the Hypervisor:
1364
1365 Result Value Description
1366 COMPLETED 0 The CCB has been fetched and executed, and is no longer active in
1367 the virtual machine. It could not be killed and no action was taken.
1368 DEQUEUED 1 The requested CCB was still enqueued when the kill request was
1369 submitted, and has been removed from the queue. Since the CCB
1370 never began execution, no memory modifications were produced by
1371 it, and the completion area will never be updated. The same CCB may
1372 be submitted again, if desired, with no modifications required.
1373 KILLED 2 The CCB had been fetched and was being executed when the kill
1374 request was submitted. The CCB execution was stopped, and the CCB
1375 is no longer active in the virtual machine. The CCB completion area
1376 will reflect the killed status, with the subsequent implications that

1387 NOTFOUND 3 The CCB could not be located in the virtual machine, and does not
1388 appear to have been executed. This may occur if the CCB was lost
1389 due to a hardware error, or the CCB may not have been successfully

1396 target CCB may contain status (4,0) "Command was skipped" instead of (3,7) "Command was killed".
1397
1398 If the pipeline source CCB is killed, the pipeline target CCB's completion status may read (1,0) "Success".
1399 This does not mean the target CCB was processed; since the source CCB was killed, there was no
1400 meaningful output on which the target CCB could operate.
