It does not depend on any lower-privileged OS/kernel code for its core functionality. This increases its security and can support a smaller trusted computing based when compared to Type-2 hypervisors. Add documentation describing the Gunyah hypervisor and the main components of the Gunyah hypervisor which are of interest to Linux virtualization development.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================= +Gunyah Hypervisor +================= + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + message-queue + +Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor which is independent of any OS kernel, and runs in +a higher CPU privilege level. It does not depend on any lower-privileged operating system +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. + +Gunyah provides these following features. + +- Scheduling: + + A scheduler for virtual CPUs (vCPUs) on physical CPUs and enables time-sharing + of the CPUs. Gunyah supports two models of scheduling: + + 1. "Behind the back" scheduling in which Gunyah hypervisor schedules vCPUS on its own. + 2. "Proxy" scheduling in which a delegated VM can donate part of one of its vCPU slice + to another VM's vCPU via a hypercall. + +- Memory Management: + + APIs handling memory, abstracted as objects, limiting direct use of physical + addresses. Memory ownership and usage tracking of all memory under its control. + Memory partitioning between VMs is a fundamental security feature. + +- Interrupt Virtualization: + + Uses CPU hardware interrupt virtualization capabilities. 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. + +- Virtual platform: + + Architectural devices such as interrupt controllers and CPU timers are directly provided + by the hypervisor as well as core virtual platform devices and system APIs such as ARM PSCI. + +- Device Virtualization: + + Para-virtualization of devices is supported using inter-VM communication. + +Architectures supported +======================= +AArch64 with a GIC + +Resources and Capabilities +========================== + +Some services or resources provided by the Gunyah hypervisor are described to a virtual machine by +capability IDs. For instance, inter-VM communication is performed with doorbells and message queues. +Gunyah allows access to manipulate that doorbell via the capability ID. These devices are described +in Linux as a struct gunyah_resource. + +High level management of these resources is performed by the resource manager VM. RM informs a +guest VM about resources it can access through either the device tree or via guest-initiated RPC. + +For each virtual machine, Gunyah maintains a table of resources which can be accessed by that VM. +An entry in this table is called a "capability" and VMs can only access resources via this +capability table. Hence, virtual Gunyah devices are referenced by a "capability IDs" and not a +"resource IDs". A VM can have multiple capability IDs mapping to the same resource. If 2 VMs have +access to the same resource, they may not be using the same capability ID to access that resource +since the tables are independent per VM. + +Resource Manager +================ + +The resource manager (RM) is a privileged application VM supporting the Gunyah Hypervisor. +It provides policy enforcement aspects of the virtualization system. The resource manager can +be treated as an extension of the Hypervisor but is separated to its own partition to ensure +that the hypervisor layer itself remains small and secure and to maintain a separation of policy +and mechanism in the platform. On arm64, RM runs at NS-EL1 similar to other virtual machines. + +Communication with the resource manager from each guest VM happens with message-queue.rst. Details +about the specific messages can be found in drivers/virt/gunyah/rsc_mgr.c + +:: + + +-------+ +--------+ +--------+ + | RM | | VM_A | | VM_B | + +-.-.-.-+ +---.----+ +---.----+ + | | | | + +-.-.-----------.------------.----+ + | | \==========/ | | + | \========================/ | + | Gunyah | + +---------------------------------+ + +The source for the resource manager is available at https://github.com/quic/gunyah-resource-manager. + +The resource manager provides the following features: + +- VM lifecycle management: allocating a VM, starting VMs, destruction of VMs +- VM access control policy, including memory sharing and lending +- Interrupt routing configuration +- Forwarding of system-level events (e.g. VM shutdown) to owner VM + +When booting a virtual machine which uses a devicetree, resource manager overlays a +/hypervisor node.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Message Queues +============== +Message queue is a simple low-capacity IPC channel between two VMs. It is +intended for sending small control and configuration messages. Each message +queue object is unidirectional, so a full-duplex IPC channel requires a pair of +objects. + +Messages can be up to 1024 bytes in length. Longer messages require a further +protocol on top of the message queue messages themselves. For instance, communication +with the resource manager adds a header field for sending longer messages via multiple +message fragments. + +The diagram below shows how message queue works. A typical configuration involves +2 message queues. Message queue 1 allows VM_A to send messages to VM_B. Message +queue 2 allows VM_B to send messages to VM_A. + +1.
