Merge branch kvm-arm64/smccc-filtering into kvmarm-master/next
* kvm-arm64/smccc-filtering: : . : SMCCC call filtering and forwarding to userspace, courtesy of : Oliver Upton. From the cover letter: : : "The Arm SMCCC is rather prescriptive in regards to the allocation of : SMCCC function ID ranges. Many of the hypercall ranges have an : associated specification from Arm (FF-A, PSCI, SDEI, etc.) with some : room for vendor-specific implementations. : : The ever-expanding SMCCC surface leaves a lot of work within KVM for : providing new features. Furthermore, KVM implements its own : vendor-specific ABI, with little room for other implementations (like : Hyper-V, for example). Rather than cramming it all into the kernel we : should provide a way for userspace to handle hypercalls." : . KVM: selftests: Fix spelling mistake "KVM_HYPERCAL_EXIT_SMC" -> "KVM_HYPERCALL_EXIT_SMC" KVM: arm64: Test that SMC64 arch calls are reserved KVM: arm64: Prevent userspace from handling SMC64 arch range KVM: arm64: Expose SMC/HVC width to userspace KVM: selftests: Add test for SMCCC filter KVM: selftests: Add a helper for SMCCC calls with SMC instruction KVM: arm64: Let errors from SMCCC emulation to reach userspace KVM: arm64: Return NOT_SUPPORTED to guest for unknown PSCI version KVM: arm64: Introduce support for userspace SMCCC filtering KVM: arm64: Add support for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL KVM: arm64: Use a maple tree to represent the SMCCC filter KVM: arm64: Refactor hvc filtering to support different actions KVM: arm64: Start handling SMCs from EL1 KVM: arm64: Rename SMC/HVC call handler to reflect reality KVM: arm64: Add vm fd device attribute accessors KVM: arm64: Add a helper to check if a VM has ran once KVM: x86: Redefine 'longmode' as a flag for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>

+
+It is strongly recommended that userspace use ``KVM_EXIT_IO`` (x86) or
+``KVM_EXIT_MMIO`` (all except s390) to implement functionality that
+requires a guest to interact with host userpace.
.. note:: KVM_EXIT_IO is significantly faster than KVM_EXIT_MMIO.

+----------
+
+SMCCC exits can be enabled depending on the configuration of the SMCCC
+filter. See the Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vm.rst
+``KVM_ARM_SMCCC_FILTER`` for more details.
+
+``nr`` contains the function ID of the guest's SMCCC call. Userspace is
+expected to use the ``KVM_GET_ONE_REG`` ioctl to retrieve the call
+parameters from the vCPU's GPRs.
+
+Definition of ``flags``:
+ - ``KVM_HYPERCALL_EXIT_SMC``: Indicates that the guest used the SMC
+ conduit to initiate the SMCCC call. If this bit is 0 then the guest
+ used the HVC conduit for the SMCCC call.
+
+ - ``KVM_HYPERCALL_EXIT_16BIT``: Indicates that the guest used a 16bit
+ instruction to initiate the SMCCC call. If this bit is 0 then the
+ guest used a 32bit instruction. An AArch64 guest always has this
+ bit set to 0.
+
+At the point of exit, PC points to the instruction immediately following
+the trapping instruction.

+6. GROUP: KVM_ARM_VM_SMCCC_CTRL
+===============================
+
+:Architectures: arm64
+
+6.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VM_SMCCC_FILTER (w/o)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+:Parameters: Pointer to a ``struct kvm_smccc_filter``
+
+:Returns:
+
+ ====== ===========================================
+ EEXIST Range intersects with a previously inserted
+ or reserved range
+ EBUSY A vCPU in the VM has already run
+ EINVAL Invalid filter configuration
+ ENOMEM Failed to allocate memory for the in-kernel
+ representation of the SMCCC filter
+ ====== ===========================================
+
+Requests the installation of an SMCCC call filter described as follows::
+
+ enum kvm_smccc_filter_action {
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE = 0,
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY,
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER,
+ };
+
+ struct kvm_smccc_filter {
+ __u32 base;
+ __u32 nr_functions;
+ __u8 action;
+ __u8 pad[15];
+ };
+
+The filter is defined as a set of non-overlapping ranges. 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:
