[RFC PATCH 00/12] Add SDEI support for arm64


From: Heyi Guo
Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/12] Add SDEI support for arm64
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 23:21:39 +0800

As promised, this is the first RFC patch set for arm64 SDEI support.
Key points:
- We propose to only support kvm enabled arm64 virtual machines, for
  non-kvm VMs can emulate EL3 and have Trusted Firmware run on it,
  which has a builtin SDEI dispatcher.
- New kvm capability KVM_CAP_FORWARD_HYPERCALL is added to probe if
  kvm supports forwarding hypercalls, and the capability should be
  enabled explicitly. PSCI can be set as exception for backward
  compatibility.
- We make the dispatcher as a logical device, to save the states
  during migration or save/restore operation; only one instance is
  allowed in one VM.
- We use qemu_irq as the bridge for other qemu modules to switch from
  irq injection to SDEI event trigger after VM binds the interrupt to
  SDEI event. We use qemu_irq_intercept_in() to override qemu_irq
  handler with SDEI event trigger, and a new interface
  qemu_irq_remove_intercept() is added to restore the handler to
  default one (i.e. ARM GIC).

More details are in the commit message of each patch.

Basic tests are done by emulating a watchdog timer and triggering SDEI
event in every 10s.

As this is the first rough RFC, please focus on the interfaces and
framework first. We can refine the code for several rounds after the
big things have been determined.

Please give your comments and suggestions.

Thanks,
HG
