Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 15/42] KVM: x86: Add KVM_HC_VBS_VTL_CALL hypercall for VBS inter-plane calls
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 04:02:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805110324.25067-16-snambakam@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805110324.25067-1-snambakam@linux.microsoft.com>

Define KVM_HC_VBS_VTL_CALL (hypercall 15) in the UAPI header and wire
it into the KVM x86 hypercall exit path so it reaches QEMU userspace.

This hypercall is used by the plane-0 guest VBS subsystem to issue
synchronous calls to the plane-1 secure kernel via a shared calling-area
(CAA) page, following the same pattern as KVM_HC_VM_PLANES_CONFIG/
ACTIVATE.

Changes:
- include/uapi/linux/kvm_para.h: Define KVM_HC_VBS_VTL_CALL = 15
- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: Add to KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL_VALID_MASK and to the
  userspace-exit case in ____kvm_emulate_hypercall()
- security/vbs/kvm_planes.c: Remove local #define of KVM_HC_VBS_VTL_CALL,
  add #include <linux/kvm_para.h> to pick up the UAPI definition
