Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: arm64: Restrict FF-A host version renegotiation
Date: Fri, 2 May 2025 02:21:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250502092108.3224341-2-perl@immunant.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250502092108.3224341-1-perl@immunant.com>
From: Per Larsen <perlarsen@google.com>
FF-A implementations with the same major version must interoperate with
earlier minor versions per DEN0077A 1.2 REL0 13.2.1 but FF-A version 1.1
broke the ABI on several structures and 1.2 relies on SMCCC 1.2 is not
backwards compatible with SMCCC 1.2 (see DEN0028 1.6 G BET0 Appendix F).
If we return the negotiated hypervisor version when the host requests a
lesser minor version, the host will rely on the FF-A interoperability
rules. Since the hypervisor does not currently have the necessary
compatibility paths (e.g. to handle breaking changes to the SMC calling
convention), return NOT_SUPPORTED.
