[RFC PATCH 1/2] kvm/arm: add capability to forward hypercall to user space

From: Heyi Guo
Date: Tue Sep 24 2019 - 11:22:32 EST


As more SMC/HVC usages emerge on arm64 platforms, like SDEI, it makes
sense for kvm to have the capability of forwarding such calls to user
space for further emulation.

We reuse the existing term "hypercall" for SMC/HVC, as well as the
hypercall structure in kvm_run to exchange arguments and return
values. The definition on arm64 is as below:

exit_reason: KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL

Input:
nr: the immediate value of SMC/HVC calls; not really used today.
args[6]: x0..x5 (This is not fully conform with SMCCC which requires
x6 as argument as well, but use space can use GET_ONE_REG
ioctl for such rare case).

Return:
args[0..3]: x0..x3 as defined in SMCCC. We need to extract
args[0..3] and write them to x0..x3 when hypercall exit
returns.

Flag hypercall_forward is added to turn on/off hypercall forwarding
and the default is false. Another flag hypercall_excl_psci is to
exclude PSCI from forwarding for backward compatible, and it only
makes sense to check its value when hypercall_forward is enabled.
