[PATCH 0/3] KVM: arm64: Support FF-A 1.2 and SEND_DIRECT2 ABI
From: Per Larsen
Date: Fri May 02 2025 - 05:21:18 EST
Hi,
The FF-A 1.2 specification introduces a new SEND_DIRECT2 ABI which
allows registers x4-x17 to be used for the message payload. This patch
set prevents the host from using a lower FF-A version than what has
already been negotiated with the hypervisor. This is necessary because
the hypervisor does not have the necessary compatibility paths to
translate from the hypervisor FF-A version to a previous version.
Support for FF-A 1.2 in the hypervisor is added as a precursor to the
addition of the FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 messaging interface. The bulk
of this change has to do with the upgrade to SMCCC 1.2 required by
FF-A 1.2. Additionally, unimplemented FF-A 1.2 interfaces are added to
the list of unsupported functions.
Tested by booting Android under QEMU and loading Trusty as the guest
VM and observing the SEND_DIRECT2 ABI being used successfully during
guest boot.
(This is my second attempt at sending out these patches; sorry about
my broken first try and the resulting duplicate messages.)
Thanks,
Per Larsen
