KVM regularly introduces new hypercall services to the guests without
any consent from the userspace. This means, the guests can observe
hypercall services in and out as they migrate across various host
kernel versions. This could be a major problem if the guest
discovered a hypercall, started using it, and after getting migrated
to an older kernel realizes that it's no longer available. Depending
on how the guest handles the change, there's a potential chance that
the guest would just panic.
As a result, there's a need for the userspace to elect the services
that it wishes the guest to discover. It can elect these services
based on the kernels spread across its (migration) fleet. To remedy
this, extend the existing firmware pseudo-registers, such as
KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION, but by creating a new COPROC register space
for all the hypercall services available.
These firmware registers are categorized based on the service call
owners, but unlike the existing firmware pseudo-registers, they hold
the features supported in the form of a bitmap.
During the VM initialization, the registers are set to upper-limit of
the features supported by the corresponding registers. It's expected
that the VMMs discover the features provided by each register via
GET_ONE_REG, and write back the desired values using SET_ONE_REG.
KVM allows this modification only until the VM has started.
Some of the standard features are not mapped to any bits of the
registers. But since they can recreate the original problem of
making it available without userspace's consent, they need to
be explicitly added to the case-list in
kvm_hvc_call_default_allowed(). Any function-id that's not enabled
via the bitmap, or not listed in kvm_hvc_call_default_allowed, will
be returned as SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED to the guest.
Older userspace code can simply ignore the feature and the
hypercall services will be exposed unconditionally to the guests,
thus ensuring backward compatibility.
In this patch, the framework adds the register only for ARM's standard
secure services (owner value 4). Currently, this includes support only
for ARM True Random Number Generator (TRNG) service, with bit-0 of the
register representing mandatory features of v1.0. Other services are
momentarily added in the upcoming patches.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
scripts/checkpatch.pl - Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:,BACKPORT:,FROMGIT:,FROMLIST:, orANDROID:. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:. - add upstream commit information with a
