Subject: [PATCH v16 13/45] KVM: arm64: CCA: Define the user ABI
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 14:43:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803134403.80630-14-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803134403.80630-1-steven.price@arm.com>
There is one CAP (KVM_CAP_ARM_RMI) which identifies the presence of CCA,
and one ioctl. The ioctl (KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE) is used to populate
memory during creation of the realm as this requires the RMM to copy
data from an unprotected address to the protected memory - CCA does not
support shared <-> private memory conversion where the memory contents
is preserved as this is incompatible with memory encryption.
Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>
---
Changes since v15:
* Expand KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE documentation to be explicit that
in-place shared-to-private conversion isn't supported.
Changes since v13:
* KVM_ARM_VCPU_RMI_PSCI_COMPLETE removed.
* KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE documentation updated to reflect that the
structure is written by the kernel.
* CAP number bumped.
Changes since v12:
* Change KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE to update the structure with the amount
that has been progressed rather than return the number of bytes
populated.
* Describe the flag KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE_FLAGS_MEASURE.
* CAP number is bumped.
* NOTE: The PSCI ioctl may be removed in a future spec release.
Changes since v11:
* Completely reworked to be more implicit. Rather than having explicit
CAP operations to progress the realm construction these operations
are done when needed (on populating and on first vCPU run).
* Populate and PSCI complete are promoted to proper ioctls.
Changes since v10:
* Rename symbols from RME to RMI.
Changes since v9:
* Improvements to documentation.
* Bump the magic number for KVM_CAP_ARM_RME to avoid conflicts.
Changes since v8:
* Minor improvements to documentation following review.
* Bump the magic numbers to avoid conflicts.
Changes since v7:
* Add documentation of new ioctls
* Bump the magic numbers to avoid conflicts
Changes since v6:
* Rename some of the symbols to make their usage clearer and avoid
repetition.
Changes from v5:
* Actually expose the new VCPU capability (KVM_ARM_VCPU_REC) by bumping
KVM_VCPU_MAX_FEATURES - note this also exposes KVM_ARM_VCPU_HAS_EL2!

+
+Populate the guest address range described by `base` and `size` with data from
+the userspace buffer at `source_uaddr`. The guest_memfd range backing the
+memory must have `KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE` set.
+
+Arm CCA cannot perform an in-place shared-to-private conversion while
+preserving memory contents. Therefore, `source_uaddr` must be a valid,
+page-aligned userspace pointer. The operation uses `RMI_RTT_DATA_MAP_INIT`,
+which also sets the region to `RIPAS_RAM`.
+
+This is only valid before any VCPUs have been run. The ioctl might not populate
+the entire region and in this case the kernel updates the fields `base`, `size`
+and `source_uaddr`. User space may have to repeatedly call it until `size` is 0
+to populate the entire region.
+
+`flags` can be set to `KVM_ARM_RMI_POPULATE_FLAGS_MEASURE` to request that the
+populated data is hashed and added to the guest's Realm Initial Measurement
+(RIM) stored by the RMM. This can then be retrieved by the guest (using the RSI
+interface) to present to an attestation server.
