[PATCH] firmware: smccc: support both conduits for getting hyp UUID

[Anirudh Rayabharam]

From: Anirudh Rayabharam (Microsoft) <anirudh@anirudhrb.com>

When Linux is running as the root partition under Microsoft Hypervisor
(MSHV) a.k.a Hyper-V, smc is used as the conduit for smc calls.

Extend arm_smccc_hypervisor_has_uuid() to support this usecase. Use
arm_smccc_1_1_invoke to retrieve and use the appropriate conduit instead
of supporting only hvc.

Boot tested on MSHV guest, MSHV root & KVM guest.

The patch is a strict superset of the existing functionality.
Validated on baremetal Linux and KVM, Apple M3 nested virt., various client and
server ARM64 systems running Windows ARM64 with VMs managed by Hyper-V and OpenVMM.

Looks good to me.

Are they any dependent patches or series using this ? Do you plan to
route it via KVM tree if there are any dependency. Or else I can push
it through (arm-)soc tree. Let me know.

"b4" shows the the mail server used for the patch submission
doesn't pass the DKIM check, so finding the patch in the spam seems
expected :) Thanks for your help!

Anirudh had been OOF for some time and would be for another
week iiuc so I thought I'd reply.

The patch this depends on is 13423063c7cb
("arm64: kvm, smccc: Introduce and use API for getting hypervisor UUID"),
and this patch has already been pulled into the Linus'es tree.

As for routing, (arm-)soc should be good it appears as the change
is contained within the firmware drivers path. Although I'd trust more to your,
Arnd's or Wei's opinion than mine!

Thought so looking at the header but I just have very basic knowledge
there, so couldn't comment.

Had a quick look at the commit to refresh my memory and as you mentioned
it is new feature. I was checking to see if this is a fix.

I will queue this once I start collecting patches for v6.17 in 1/2 weeks'
time, so expect silence until then 😄.

How do you check this? I mean, what b4 command do you run?

I think it should be fix now. Let's see...

"b4 am" was showing the failed DKIM check, and all good now!
