The ARM SMC Calling Convention (DEN 0028B) introduces function IDs for
hypercalls, given in the x0 register during an SMC or HVC from a guest.
The document defines ranges of function IDs targeting different kinds of
hypervisors or supervisors.
Two ID ranges are of particular interest for the kernel:
- Standard hypervisor service calls
- Vendor specific hypervisor service calls
This patch introduces a couple of useful macros when working with SMCCC.
They provide defines of those ID ranges to be used by HVC handling (KVM)
or calling. (e.g: to leverage paravirtualized services)
The document also defines standard return values to be written into x0
after a hypercall handling. Once again, those macros can potentially be
used from both the hypervisor or the guest.
