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

The diagram below shows the architecture.

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. Memory partitioning between VMs is a fundamental
security feature.
- Interrupt Virtualization: All interrupts are handled in the hypervisor
and routed 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. Low level system features and devices such as
interrupt controllers are supported with emulation where required.

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 virtual machine manager capable of launching virtual machines.

The series relies on two other patches posted separately:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230213181832.3489174-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230213232537.2040976-2-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/

Changes in v10:
- Fix bisectability (end result of series is same, --fixups applied to wrong commits)
- Convert GH_ERROR_* and GH_RM_ERROR_* to enums
- Correct race condition between allocating/freeing user memory
- Replace offsetof with struct_size
- Series-wide renaming of functions to be more consistent
- VM shutdown & restart support added in vCPU and VM Manager patches
- Convert VM function name (string) to type (number)
- Convert VM function argument to value (which could be a pointer) to remove memory wastage for arguments
- Remove defensive checks of hypervisor correctness
- Clean ups to ioeventfd as suggested by Srivatsa

Changes in v9: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230120224627.4053418-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Refactor Gunyah API flags to be exposed as feature flags at kernel level
- Move mbox client cleanup into gunyah_msgq_remove()
- Simplify gh_rm_call return value and response payload
- Missing clean-up/error handling/little endian fixes as suggested by Srivatsa and Alex in v8 series

Changes in v8: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221219225850.2397345-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Treat VM manager as a library of RM
- Add patches 21-28 as RFC to support proxy-scheduled vCPUs and necessary bits to support virtio
from Gunyah userspace

Changes in v7: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221121140009.2353512-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Refactor to remove gunyah RM bus
- Refactor allow multiple RM device instances
- Bump UAPI to start at 0x0
- Refactor QCOM SCM's platform hooks to allow CONFIG_QCOM_SCM=Y/CONFIG_GUNYAH=M combinations

Changes in v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221026185846.3983888-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- *Replace gunyah-console with gunyah VM Manager*
- Move include/asm-generic/gunyah.h into include/linux/gunyah.h
- s/gunyah_msgq/gh_msgq/
- Minor tweaks and documentation tidying based on comments from Jiri, Greg, Arnd, Dmitry, and Bagas.

Changes in v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221011000840.289033-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Dropped sysfs nodes
- Switch from aux bus to Gunyah RM bus for the subdevices
- Cleaning up RM console

Changes in v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220928195633.2348848-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Tidied up documentation throughout based on questions/feedback received
- Switched message queue implementation to use mailboxes
- Renamed "gunyah_device" as "gunyah_resource"

Changes in v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220811214107.1074343-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- /Maintained/Supported/ in MAINTAINERS
- Tidied up documentation throughout based on questions/feedback received
- Moved hypercalls into arch/arm64/gunyah/; following hyper-v's implementation
- Drop opaque typedefs
- Move sysfs nodes under /sys/hypervisor/gunyah/
- Moved Gunyah console driver to drivers/tty/
- Reworked gunyah_device design to drop the Gunyah bus.

Changes in v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220801211240.597859-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- DT bindings clean up
- Switch hypercalls to follow SMCCC

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220223233729.1571114-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
