Subject: [PATCH v17 07/20] KVM: arm64: CCA: Introduce Realms
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 17:22:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908162223.1683432-8-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908162223.1683432-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>

From: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>

Add foundational work for supporting Realms.
 - Add a new VM flavor.
 - At KVM init, check if the KVM can support Realms (though not functional yet)
   and will be advertised by static key kvm_rmi_is_available. This will be
   turned on in a later patches, once we have all the bits and pieces ready.
   For now check if we are blessed with KVM_MODE_RMM.
 - Add realm specific tracking in kvm_arch. Since Realm and protected pKVM
   states are mutually exclusive, move them into a union.

Changes since v16:
 * Share mutually exclusive pKVM and Realm per-VM storage in a union.
 * Move to the new VM flavor infrastructure, split bits out. Trimmed down
 * Move in Realm state and basic boiler plates
Changes since v13:
 * Most of the init has been moved out of the 'kvm' directory so this is
   much more basic now.
Changes since v12:
 * Drop check for 4k page size.
Changes since v11:
 * Reword slightly the comments on the realm states.
Changes since v10:
 * kvm_is_realm() no longer has a NULL check.
 * Rename from "rme" to "rmi" when referring to the RMM interface.
 * Check for RME (hardware) support before probing for RMI support.
Changes since v8:
 * No need to guard kvm_init_rme() behind 'in_hyp_mode'.
Changes since v6:
 * Improved message for an unsupported RMI ABI version.
Changes since v5:
 * Reword "unsupported" message from "host supports" to "we want" to
   clarify that 'we' are the 'host'.
Changes since v2:
 * Drop return value from kvm_init_rme(), it was always 0.
 * Rely on the RMM return value to identify whether the RSI ABI is
   compatible.
