[PATCH 2/3] KVM: arm64: Bump the supported version of FF-A to 1.2

Per Larsen perl at immunant.com
Thu May 1 20:53:51 PDT 2025


FF-A version 1.2 introduces the DIRECT_REQ2 ABI. Bump the FF-A version
preferred by the hypervisor as a precursor to implementing the 1.2-only
FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 and FFA_MSG_SEND_RESP2 messaging interfaces.

We must also use SMCCC 1.2 for 64-bit SMCs if hypervisor negotiated FF-A
1.2, so ffa_set_retval is updated and a new function to call 64-bit smcs
using SMCCC 1.2 with fallback to SMCCC 1.1 is introduced.

Update deny-list in ffa_call_supported to mark FFA_NOTIFICATION_* and
interfaces added in FF-A 1.2 as unsupported lest they get forwarded.
