4 pvpanic device is a simulated ISA device, through which a guest panic
5 event is sent to qemu, and a QMP event is generated. This allows
6 management apps (e.g. libvirt) to be notified and respond to the event.
8 The management app has the option of waiting for GUEST_PANICKED events,
9 and/or polling for guest-panicked RunState, to learn when the pvpanic
10 device has fired a panic event.
15 pvpanic exposes a single I/O port, by default 0x505. On read, the bits
16 recognized by the device are set. Software should ignore bits it doesn't
17 recognize. On write, the bits not recognized by the device are ignored.
18 Software should set only bits both itself and the device recognize.
19 Currently, only bit 0 is recognized, setting it indicates a guest panic
25 pvpanic device is defined with ACPI ID "QEMU0001". Custom methods:
27 RDPT: To determine whether guest panic notification is supported.
29 Return: Returns a byte, bit 0 set to indicate guest panic
30 notification is supported. Other bits are reserved and
33 WRPT: To send a guest panic event
34 Arguments: Arg0 is a byte, with bit 0 set to indicate guest panic has
35 happened. Other bits are reserved and should be cleared.
38 The ACPI device will automatically refer to the right port in case it
