[RFC PATCH 4/5] KVM: arm64: Pass hypercalls to userspace
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 11:54:17 EST
Let userspace request to handle all hypercalls that aren't handled by
KVM, by setting the KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_TO_USER capability.
With the help of another capability, this will allow userspace to handle
PSCI calls.
Suggested-by: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx>

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 synchronize them 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.
* Should we 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 VM 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.
* Untested for AArch32 guests.
