Commit Message

Jordan Niethe Sept. 5, 2023, 3:46 a.m. UTC
The PAPR "Nestedv2" guest API introduces the concept of a Guest State
Buffer for communication about L2 guests between L1 and L0 hosts.

In the new API, the L0 manages the L2 on behalf of the L1. This means
that if the L1 needs to change L2 state (e.g. GPRs, SPRs, partition
table...), it must request the L0 perform the modification. If the
nested host needs to read L2 state likewise this request must
go through the L0.

The Guest State Buffer is a Type-Length-Value style data format defined
in the PAPR which assigns all relevant partition state a unique
identity. Unlike a typical TLV format the length is redundant as the
length of each identity is fixed but is included for checking
correctness.

A guest state buffer consists of an element count followed by a stream
of elements, where elements are composed of an ID number, data length,
then the data:

  Header:

   <---4 bytes--->
  +----------------+-----
  | Element Count  | Elements...
  +----------------+-----

  Element:

   <----2 bytes---> <-2 bytes-> <-Length bytes->
  +----------------+-----------+----------------+
  | Guest State ID |  Length   |      Data      |
  +----------------+-----------+----------------+

Guest State IDs have other attributes defined in the PAPR such as
whether they are per thread or per guest, or read-only.

Introduce a library for using guest state buffers. This includes support
for actions such as creating buffers, adding elements to buffers,
reading the value of elements and parsing buffers. This will be used
later by the nestedv2 guest support.

v2:
  - Add missing #ifdef CONFIG_VSXs
  - Move files from lib/ to kvm/
  - Guard compilation on CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE
  - Use kunit for guest state buffer tests
  - Add configuration option for the tests
  - Use macros for contiguous id ranges like GPRs
  - Add some missing EXPORTs to functions
  - HEIR element is a double word not a word
v3:
  - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
  - Use the kvmppc namespace
  - Move kvmppc_gsb_reset() out of kvmppc_gsm_fill_info()
  - Comments for GSID elements
  - Pass vector elements by reference
  - Remove generic put and get functions
