Subject: [PATCH v15 11/37] KVM: arm64: CCA: Allocate and free RECs to match vCPUs
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 15:28:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715142841.80544-12-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715142841.80544-1-steven.price@arm.com>
The RMM maintains a data structure known as the Realm Execution Context
(or REC). It is similar to struct kvm_vcpu and tracks the state of the
virtual CPUs. KVM must delegate memory and request the structures are
created when vCPUs are created, and suitably tear down on destruction.
RECs may require additional pages (e.g. for storing larger register
state for SVE). The RMM can request extra pages for this purpose using
the Stateful RMI Operations (SRO) functionality to request pages during
REC creation. These pages are then passed back to the host from the RMM
('reclaimed') when the REC is destroyed. The kernel tracking object
(struct rmi_sro_state) is stored in the realm_rec structure to avoid
memory allocation during the destruction path.
Note that only some of register state for the REC can be set by KVM, the
rest is defined by the RMM (zeroed). The register state then cannot be
changed by KVM after the REC is created (except when the guest
explicitly requests this e.g. by performing a PSCI call).
Note that the function kvm_create_rec() is unused at this point, a
future patch will add the call and remove the __maybe_unused attribute.
Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>
---
Changes since v14:
* Handle partial REC creation better by NULLing rec->run, rec->rec_page
and rec->sro when freeing.
Changes since v13:
* Support SRO for REC creation/destruction instead of auxiliary
granules.
Changes since v12:
* Use the new range-based delegation RMI.
Changes since v11:
* Remove the KVM_ARM_VCPU_REC feature. User space no longer needs to
configure each VCPU separately, RECs are created on the first VCPU
run of the guest.
Changes since v9:
* Size the aux_pages array according to the PAGE_SIZE of the host.
Changes since v7:
* Add comment explaining the aux_pages array.
* Rename "undeleted_failed" variable to "should_free" to avoid a
confusing double negative.
Changes since v6:
* Avoid reporting the KVM_ARM_VCPU_REC feature if the guest isn't a
realm guest.
* Support host page size being larger than RMM's granule size when
allocating/freeing aux granules.
Changes since v5:
* Separate the concept of vcpu_is_rec() and
kvm_arm_vcpu_rec_finalized() by using the KVM_ARM_VCPU_REC feature as
the indication that the VCPU is a REC.
Changes since v2:
* Free rec->run earlier in kvm_destroy_realm() and adapt to previous patches.
