[PATCH v7 0/3] KVM: arm64: Support FF-A direct messaging interfaces

[Per Larsen via B4 Relay]

Block host-initiated FF-A direct responses.
Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ unconditionally.
Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 if hypervisor negotiated version 1.2+.

Framework messages (FF-A control plane) are filtered out. For
FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ, we look at flags in w2. Messages using the REQ2
interface are always partition messages.

The third patch was part of a previous patch set [0] but was dropped
since the use case was unclear. A clear use case has now appeared: use
TPM device with CRB over FF-A when kernel boots with pkvm [1].

Tested by booting Android under QEMU.

Best Regards,
Per

Changes in v7:
- New patch 1/3: block FFA_FN64_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP. Only the 32-bit
  variant was denied, so the host could send unvalidated 64-bit direct
  responses to EL3, including a forged sender endpoint ID
- Use hyp_smccc_1_2_smc() so the call is bracketed by hyp_exit/hyp_enter;
  the pass-through path already traced these calls
- Declare endp/flags as u64 and reject a non-zero x1[63:32]: these are
  w1/w2, but the raw 64-bit registers are forwarded to EL3
- Pass the canonicalised func_id to do_ffa_direct_msg() rather than
  re-reading x0, which still carries ARM_SMCCC_CALL_HINTS
