[RFC PATCH 3/6] arm64: hyperv: Add per-CPU RSI host call infrastructure for CCA Realms
From: Kameron Carr
Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 14:20:52 EST
Arm CCA Realms cannot issue Hyper-V hypercalls via HVC; the guest must
route them through the RSI_HOST_CALL interface, which takes the IPA of a
per-CPU rsi_host_call structure as its argument.
Add hyperv_pcpu_hostcall_struct as a per-CPU pointer to that buffer and
allocate it for the boot CPU during hyperv_init() and for each secondary
CPU in hv_cpu_init(). The allocation is gated on is_realm_world() so
non-Realm arm64 Hyper-V guests pay no memory cost.
