[v7,00/20] Drivers for gunyah hypervisor

Message

Elliot Berman Nov. 21, 2022, 1:59 p.m. UTC

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 basic virtual machine manager capable of launching virtual
machines. In a future series, I'll add more functionality to the VM Manager,
but functionality is kept limited here to reduce the number of patches to
review.

Changes in v7:
 - 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/[e-mail]/
 - *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/[e-mail]/
 - 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/[e-mail]/
 - 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/[e-mail]/
 - /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/[e-mail]/
