Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] coco: guest: arm64: Replace dummy CCA device with sysfs ABI
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 15:10:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514094030.42495-4-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514094030.42495-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>

The SMCCC firmware driver now creates the arm-smccc platform device and
instantiates the CCA auxiliary devices once the RSI ABI is discovered. The
arm64-specific arm-cca-dev platform device stub is therefore no longer
needed.

However, userspace has used the arm-cca-dev platform device to detect Arm
CCA Realm guests [1]. Removing it without a replacement would break that
detection and would also leave userspace depending on kernel device-model
details.

Add /sys/firmware/cca/realm_guest as a stable, architecture-provided ABI
for detecting whether the kernel is running as an Arm CCA Realm guest. The
file returns 1 in Realm world and 0 otherwise, similar to the existing s390
/sys/firmware/uv/prot_virt_guest interface for protected virtualization
guests.

Remove the dummy arm-cca-dev registration now that userspace has a
dedicated CCA Realm guest indicator, and document the new ABI in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-cca.
