arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection API
commit 85bd0ba upstream. Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1 or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM. But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2, let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular version of the API. This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to any supported version if the guest requires it.

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. | ||
|
||
The PSCI specification is regularly updated to provide new features, | ||
and KVM implements these updates 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 PSCI revision (unlikely), or if | ||
a migration causes a different PSCI 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 if required. | ||
|
||
The following register is defined: | ||
|
||
* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION: | ||
|
||
- 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) |
