[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 00/33] Support for Arm Confidential Compute Architecture

This series adds support for running the kvm-unit-tests in the Arm CCA reference
software architecture.


The changes involve enlightening the boot/setup code with the Realm Service Interface
(RSI). The series also includes new test cases that exercise the RSI calls.

Currently we only support "kvmtool" as the VMM for running Realms. There was
an attempt to add support for running the test scripts using with kvmtool here [1],
which hasn't progressed. It would be good to have that resolved, so that we can
run all the tests without manually specifying the commandlines for each run.

For the purposes of running the Realm specific tests, we have added a "temporary"
script "run-realm-tests" until the kvmtool support is added. We do not expect
this to be merged.


Base Realm Support
-------------------

Realm IPA Space
---------------
When running on in Realm world, the (Guest) Physical Address - aka Intermediate
Physical Address (IPA) in Arm terminology - space of the VM is split into two halves,
protected (lower half) and un-protected (upper half). A protected IPA will
always map pages in the "realm world" and  the contents are not accessible to
the host. An unprotected IPA on the other hand can be mapped to page in the
"normal world" and thus shared with the host. All host emulated MMIO ranges must
be in unprotected IPA space.

Realm can query the Realm Management Monitor for the configuration via RSI call
(RSI_REALM_CONFIG) and identify the "boundary" of the "IPA" split.

As far as the hyp/VMM is concerned, there is only one "IPA space" (the lower
half) of memory map. The "upper half" is "unprotected alias" of the memory map.

In the guest, this is achieved by "treating the MSB (1 << (IPA_WIDTH - 1))" as
a protection attribute (we call it - PTE_NS_SHARED), where the Realm applies this
to any address, it thinks is acccessed/managed by host (e.g., MMIO, shared pages).
Given that this is runtime variable (but fixed for a given Realm), uses a
variable to track the value.

All I/O regions are marked as "shared". Care is taken to ensure I/O access (uart)
with MMU off uses the "Unprotected Physical address".


Realm IPA State
---------------
Additionally, each page (4K) in the protected IPA space has a state associated
(Realm IPA State - RIPAS) with it. It is either of :
   RIPAS_EMPTY
   RIPAS_RAM

Any IPA backed by RAM, must be marked as RIPAS_RAM before an access is made to
it. The hypervisor/VMM does this for the initial image loaded into the Realm
memory before the Realm starts execution. Given the kvm-unit-test flat files do
not contain a metadata header (e.g., like the arm64 Linux kernel Image),
indicating the "actual image size in memory", the VMM cannot transition the
area towards the end of the image (e.g., bss, stack) which are accessed very
early during boot. Thus the early boot assembly code will mark the area upto
the stack as RAM.

Once we land in the C code, we mark target relocation area for FDT and
initrd as RIPAS_RAM. At this point, we can scan the FDT and mark all RAM memory
blocks as RIPAS_RAM.

TODO: It would be good to add an image header to the flat files indicating the
size, which can take the burden off doing the early assembly boot code RSI calls.

Shared Memory support
---------------------
Given the "default" memory of a VM is not accessible to host, we add new page
alloc/free routines for "memory shared" with the host. e.g., GICv3-ITS must use
shared pages for ITS emulation.

RSI Test suites
--------------
There are new testcases added to exercise the RSI interfaces and the RMM flows.

Attestation and measurement services related RSI tests require parsing tokens
and claims returned by the RMM. This is achieved with the help of QCBOR library
[2], which is added as a submodule to the project. We have also added a wrapper
library - libtokenverifier - around the QCBOR to parse the tokens according to
the RMM specifications.

Running Arm CCA Stack
-------------------

See more details on Arm CCA and how to build/run the entire stack here[0]
The easiest way to run the Arm CCA stack is using shrinkwrap and the details
are available in [0].
