Each +range defines an action to be applied to SMCCC calls within the range. +Userspace can insert multiple ranges into the filter by using +successive calls to this attribute. + +The default configuration of KVM is such that all implemented SMCCC +calls are allowed. Thus, the SMCCC filter can be defined sparsely +by userspace, only describing ranges that modify the default behavior. + +The range expressed by ``struct kvm_smccc_filter`` is +[``base``, ``base + nr_functions``). The range is not allowed to wrap, +i.e. userspace cannot rely on ``base + nr_functions`` overflowing. + +The SMCCC filter applies to both SMC and HVC calls initiated by the +guest. The SMCCC filter gates the in-kernel emulation of SMCCC calls +and as such takes effect before other interfaces that interact with +SMCCC calls (e.g. hypercall bitmap registers). + +Actions: + + - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE``: Allows the guest SMCCC call to be + handled in-kernel. It is strongly recommended that userspace *not* + explicitly describe the allowed SMCCC call ranges. + + - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY``: Rejects the guest SMCCC call in-kernel + and returns to the guest. + + - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER``: The guest SMCCC call is forwarded + to userspace with an exit reason of ``KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL``. + +The ``pad`` field is reserved for future use and must be zero. KVM may +return ``-EINVAL`` if the field is nonzero. + +KVM reserves the 'Arm Architecture Calls' range of function IDs and +will reject attempts to define a filter for any portion of these ranges: + + =========== =============== + Start End (inclusive) + =========== =============== + 0x8000_0000 0x8000_FFFF + 0xC000_0000 0xC000_FFFF + =========== =============== |
