[PATCH RFC v15 00/30] Drivers for Gunyah hypervisor
From: Elliot Berman
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 19:22:56 EST
Hello all,
There is significant architecture change in the latest version to
support demand paging. Demand paging allows Linux to provide memory to
the guest when it wants -- only when guest tries to access the memory.
I wanted to post a version to collect some early feedback.
In particular, our implementation of guestmemfd is similar to KVM's
guest memfd: I'm curious to get community's thoughts on how (if at all)
to refactor both to share the common, generic bits. In particular, the
primary difference I see between KVM and Gunyah's implementation is how
we determine whether a page can be mapped to userspace, so I think there
is strong case here to share at least some of the implementation.
Also, I wanted to get any feedback if how folios are tracked for a
virtual machine seems correct: folios are initially allocated using
the filemap associated with the guest memfd. When guest tries to access
them, I use a maple tree to track folios that have been shares: the
indices are guest frame number and values are folio pointers. The
folio's ->private field is used to note whether the folio is available
to be mapped by Linux.
Some areas that still need testing/work is multi-threading and memory
reclaim while VM is running; the important bits are present in the
implementation and design, but not fully tested. The series is
capable of booting a Linux virtual machine, so while some areas aren't
finished, it is fairly complete.

Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor independent of any high-level OS kernel,
and runs in a higher CPU privilege level. It does not depend on any
lower-privileged OS kernel/code for its core functionality. This
increases its security and can support a much smaller trusted computing
base than a Type-2 hypervisor. Gunyah is designed for isolated virtual
machine use cases and to support launching trusted+isolated virtual
machines from a relatively less trusted host virtual machine.
Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.
The diagram below shows the architecture.

Gunyah provides these following features.
- Threads and Scheduling: The scheduler schedules virtual CPUs (VCPUs)
on physical CPUs and enables time-sharing of the CPUs.
- Memory Management: Gunyah tracks memory ownership and use of all
memory under its control. Memory partitioning between VMs is a
fundamental security feature.
- Interrupt Virtualization: All interrupts are handled in the hypervisor
and routed to the assigned VM.
- Inter-VM Communication: There are several different mechanisms
provided for communicating between VMs.
- Device Virtualization: Para-virtualization of devices is supported
using inter-VM communication. Low level system features and devices such
as interrupt controllers are supported with emulation where required.
This series adds the basic framework for detecting that Linux is running
under Gunyah as a virtual machine, communication with the Gunyah
Resource Manager, and a sample virtual machine manager capable of
launching virtual machines.
Changes in v15:
- First implementation of virtual machines backed by guestmemfd and
using demand paging to provide memory instead of all up front.
- Use message queue hypercalls directly instead of traversing through
mailbox framework.
Changes in v14: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230613172054.3959700-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/

- Mark IRQs as wake-up capable
Changes in v13:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230509204801.2824351-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Tweaks to message queue driver to address race condition between IRQ
and mailbox registration
- Allow removal of VM functions by function-specific comparison --
specifically to allow
removing irqfd by label only and not requiring original FD to be
provided.

the
check that we're running under a reasonable Gunyah hypervisor into RM
driver
- Refactor platform hooks into a separate module per suggestion from
Srini
- GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT and account_locked_vm() for page pinning
- enum-ify related constants
Changes in v11:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230304010632.2127470-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/

checks for this
- More docstrings throughout
- Make resp_buf and resp_buf_size optional
- Replace deprecated idr with xarray
- Refconting on misc device instead of RM's platform device
- Renaming variables, structs, etc. from gunyah_ -> gh_
- Drop removal of user mem regions
- Drop mem_lend functionality; to converge with restricted_memfd later
Changes in v10:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230214211229.3239350-1-quic_eberman@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- Fix bisectability (end result of series is same, --fixups applied to
wrong commits)
- Convert GH_ERROR_* and GH_RM_ERROR_* to enums
- Correct race condition between allocating/freeing user memory
- Replace offsetof with struct_size
- Series-wide renaming of functions to be more consistent
- VM shutdown & restart support added in vCPU and VM Manager patches
- Convert VM function name (string) to type (number)
- Convert VM function argument to value (which could be a pointer) to
remove memory wastage for arguments
- Remove defensive checks of hypervisor correctness

level
- Move mbox client cleanup into gunyah_msgq_remove()
