+=======================
+ARM Hypercall Interface
+=======================
+
+KVM handles the hypercall services as requested by the guests. New hypercall
+services are regularly made available by the ARM specification or by KVM (as
+vendor services) if they make sense from a virtualization point of view.
+
+This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can observe
+two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if a given guest
+is tied to a particular version of a hypercall service, or if a migration
+causes a different version to be exposed out of the blue to an unsuspecting
+guest.
+
+In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
+pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
+interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set
+to a convenient value as required.
+
+The following registers are defined:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION:
+
+ KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface)
+ specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset
+ and power-off to the guest.
+
+ - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set
+ (and thus has already been initialized)
+ - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the
+ highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2)
+ - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with
+ v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG
+ - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu)
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1:
+ Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2017-5715, as
+ offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
+ under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 in [1].
+
+ Accepted values are:
+
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_AVAIL:
+ KVM does not offer
+ firmware support for the workaround. The mitigation status for the
+ guest is unknown.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_AVAIL:
+ The workaround HVC call is
+ available to the guest and required for the mitigation.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1_NOT_REQUIRED:
+ The workaround HVC call
+ is available to the guest, but it is not needed on this VCPU.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2:
+ Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2018-3639, as
+ offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call. The workaround is described
+ under SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 in [1]_.
+
+ Accepted values are:
+
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_NOT_AVAIL:
+ A workaround is not
+ available. KVM does not offer firmware support for the workaround.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_UNKNOWN:
+ The workaround state is
+ unknown. KVM does not offer firmware support for the workaround.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_AVAIL:
+ The workaround is available,
+ and can be disabled by a vCPU. If
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_ENABLED is set, it is active for
+ this vCPU.
+ KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_NOT_REQUIRED:
+ The workaround is always active on this vCPU or it is not needed.
+
+
+Bitmap Feature Firmware Registers
+---------------------------------
+
+Contrary to the above registers, the following registers exposes the
+hypercall services in the form of a feature-bitmap to the userspace. This
+bitmap is translated to the services that are available to the guest.
+There is a register defined per service call owner and can be accessed via
+GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.
+
+By default, these registers are set with the upper limit of the features
+that are supported. This way userspace can discover all the usable
+hypercall services via GET_ONE_REG. The user-space can write-back the
+desired bitmap back via SET_ONE_REG. The features for the registers that
+are untouched, probably because userspace isn't aware of them, will be
+exposed as is to the guest.
+
+Note that KVM will not allow the userspace to configure the registers
+anymore once any of the vCPUs has run at least once. Instead, it will
+return a -EBUSY.
+
+The pseudo-firmware bitmap register are as follows:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the ARM Standard Secure Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BIT_TRNG_V1_0:
+ The bit represents the services offered under v1.0 of ARM True Random
+ Number Generator (TRNG) specification, ARM DEN0098.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the ARM Standard Hypervisor Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BIT_PV_TIME:
+ The bit represents the Paravirtualized Time service as represented by
+ ARM DEN0057A.
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP:
+ Controls the bitmap of the Vendor specific Hypervisor Service Calls.
+
+ The following bits are accepted:
+
+ Bit-0: KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BIT_FUNC_FEAT
+ The bit represents the ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_FEATURES_FUNC_ID
+ and ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_CALL_UID_FUNC_ID function-ids.
+
+ Bit-1: KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BIT_PTP:
+ The bit represents the Precision Time Protocol KVM service.
+
+Errors:
+
+ ======= =============================================================
+ -ENOENT Unknown register accessed.
+ -EBUSY Attempt a 'write' to the register after the VM has started.
+ -EINVAL Invalid bitmap written to the register.
