[RFC PATCH 29/32] KVM: arm64: Pass hypercalls to userspace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@xxxxxxxxxx>

When capability KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_TO_USER is available, userspace can
request to handle all hypercalls that aren't handled by KVM. With the
help of another capability, this will allow userspace to handle PSCI
calls.

Notes on this implementation:

* A similar mechanism was proposed for SDEI some time ago [1]. This RFC
  generalizes the idea to all hypercalls, since that was suggested on
  the list [2, 3].

* We're reusing kvm_run.hypercall. I copied x0-x5 into
  kvm_run.hypercall.args[] to help userspace but I'm tempted to remove
  this, because:
  - Most user handlers will need to write results back into the
    registers (x0-x3 for SMCCC), so if we keep this shortcut we should
    go all the way and read them back on return to kernel.
  - QEMU doesn't care about this shortcut, it pulls all vcpu regs before
    handling the call.
  - SMCCC uses x0-x16 for parameters.
  x0 does contain the SMCCC function ID and may be useful for fast
  dispatch, we could keep that plus the immediate number.

* Add a flag in the kvm_run.hypercall telling whether this is HVC or
  SMC?  Can be added later in those bottom longmode and pad fields.

* On top of this we could share with userspace which HVC ranges are
  available and which ones are handled by KVM. That can actually be added
  independently, through a vCPU/VM device attribute which doesn't consume
  a new ioctl:
  - userspace issues HAS_ATTR ioctl on the vcpu fd to query whether this
    feature is available.
  - userspace queries the number N of HVC ranges using one GET_ATTR.
  - userspace passes an array of N ranges using another GET_ATTR. The
    array is filled and returned by KVM.

* Enabling this using a vCPU arch feature rather than the whole-VM
  capability would be fine, but it would be difficult to do the same for
  the following psci-in-user capability. So let's enable everything at
  the VM scope.

* No idea whether this work out of the box for AArch32 guests.
