[PATCH v10 05/43] arm64: RME: Check for RME support at KVM init

Steven Price
2025-08-20T14:57:34Z

Query the RMI version number and check if it is a compatible version. A
static key is also provided to signal that a supported RMM is available.

Functions are provided to query if a VM or VCPU is a realm (or rec)
which currently will always return false.

Later patches make use of struct realm and the states as the ioctls
interfaces are added to support realm and REC creation and destruction.

Changes since v8:
* No need to guard kvm_init_rme() behind 'in_hyp_mode'.
Changes since v6:
* Improved message for an unsupported RMI ABI version.
Changes since v5:
* Reword "unsupported" message from "host supports" to "we want" to
clarify that 'we' are the 'host'.
Changes since v2:
* Drop return value from kvm_init_rme(), it was always 0.
* Rely on the RMM return value to identify whether the RSI ABI is
compatible.
