Subject: [PATCH v10 09/43] KVM: arm64: Allow passing machine type in KVM creation
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 15:55:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820145606.180644-10-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250820145606.180644-1-steven.price@arm.com>
Previously machine type was used purely for specifying the physical
address size of the guest. Reserve the higher bits to specify an ARM
specific machine type and declare a new type 'KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_REALM'
used to create a realm guest.
Reviewed-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>

Changes since v9:
* Explictly set realm.state to REALM_STATE_NONE rather than rely on the
zeroing of the structure.
Changes since v7:
* Add some documentation explaining the new machine type.
Changes since v6:
* Make the check for kvm_rme_is_available more visible and report an
error code of -EPERM (instead of -EINVAL) to make it explicit that
the kernel supports RME, but the platform doesn't.
