[PATCH v17 00/35] Drivers for Gunyah hypervisor

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

 



Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor independent of any high-level OS kernel,
and runs in a higher CPU privilege level. It does not depend on any
lower-privileged OS kernel/code for its core functionality. This
increases its security and can support a much smaller trusted computing
base than a Type-2 hypervisor. Gunyah is designed for isolated virtual
machine use cases and to support launching trusted+isolated virtual
machines from a relatively less trusted host virtual machine.

Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.

The diagram below shows the architecture for AArch64.

Gunyah provides these following features.

- Threads and Scheduling: The scheduler schedules virtual CPUs (VCPUs)
  on physical CPUs and enables time-sharing of the CPUs.
- Memory Management: Gunyah tracks memory ownership and use of all
  memory under its control. It provides low level dynamic memory
  management APIs on top of which higher level donation, lending and sharing
  is built. Gunyah provides strong VM memory isolation for trusted VMs.
- Interrupt Virtualization: Interrupts are managed by the hypervisor
  and are routed directly to the assigned VM.
- Inter-VM Communication: There are several different mechanisms
  provided for communicating between VMs.
- Device Virtualization: Para-virtualization of devices is supported
  using inter-VM communication and virtio primitives. Low level architecture
  features and devices such as cpu timers, interrupt controllers are supported
  with hardware virtualization and emulation where required.
- Resource Manager: Gunyah supports a "root" VM that initially owns all
  VM memory and IO resources. The Gunyah Resource Manager is the default
  bundled root VM and provides high-level services including dynamic VM
  management and secure memory donation, lending and sharing.

This series adds the basic framework for detecting that Linux is running
under Gunyah as a virtual machine, communication with the Gunyah
Resource Manager, and a sample virtual machine manager capable of
launching virtual machines.

Changes in v17:
 - Replace RM's irq_chip with irq_create_fwspec_mapping
 - Unmap lent memory from kernel logical map
 - Small optimization to unlock folio earlier to allow vCPUs racing for
   the same folio to run sooner
 - Add missed "safe to lend" checks for a folio when constructing mem
   parcel

using demand paging to provide memory instead of all up front.
