Subject: [PATCH v1 09/11] KVM: arm64: Type-check hypercall arguments at the caller
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:13:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720161343.1367007-10-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720161343.1367007-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
kvm_call_hyp_nvhe() reduces its target to an SMCCC function number, so
the compiler never sees a callable: arguments that are wrong in number,
type or order are silently marshalled into registers. The kvm_call_hyp()
wrappers only catch this on the VHE branch, and the pKVM-only hypercalls
have no such branch.
Declare each hypercall's signature once in kvm_hcall.h and generate a
typed stub from it, in the mold of the syscall wrappers. Make
kvm_call_hyp_nvhe() resolve to the stub so every caller is checked
against the declared signature; a stale or mistyped call now fails to
compile. The stubs inline to the same SMCCC call the untyped macro used
to make: the compiled callers are unchanged, apart from hypercall
returns now being tested at their declared width.
The stage-2 protection arguments are declared u64 rather than
enum kvm_pgtable_prot, as kvm_pgtable.h includes linux/kvm_host.h and
the enum cannot be completed here.
