Hi,
The FF-A 1.2 specification introduces a new SEND_DIRECT2 ABI which
allows registers x4-x17 to be used for the message payload. This patch
set prevents the host from using a lower FF-A version than what has
already been negotiated with the hypervisor. This is necessary because
the hypervisor does not have the necessary compatibility paths to
translate from the hypervisor FF-A version to a previous version.
Support for FF-A 1.2 in the hypervisor is added as a precursor to the
addition of the FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 messaging interface. The bulk
of this change has to do with the upgrade to SMCCC 1.2 required by
FF-A 1.2. Additionally, unimplemented FF-A 1.2 interfaces are added to
the list of unsupported functions.
Tested by booting Android under QEMU and loading Trusty as the guest
VM and observing the SEND_DIRECT2 ABI being used successfully during
guest boot.
Changes since v2:
- 2/3: Removed files added by mistake.
Add and use ffa_get_hypervisor_version to access hyp_ffa_version
- 3/3: Use ffa_get_hypervisor_version to access hyp_ffa_version safely
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250508-virtio-msg-ffa-v2-0-ed84f8053965@google.com
Changes since v1:
- 1/3: Simplify commit message; drop long comment in do_ffa_version
- 2/3: Correct use of Co-developed-by: footer
s/arm_smccc_1_2_smc_fallback/arm_smccc_1_x_smc/
Always access hyp_ffa_version w/lock held
Remove superfluous comments in ffa_call_supported
Add and use FFA_FEAT_RXTX_MIN_SZ_MASK instead of constant
Add FFA_PARTITION_INFO_GET_REGS to calls that require SMCCC 1.2
- 3/3: Always access hyp_ffa_version w/lock held
Correct formatting
Thanks,
Per Larsen
