[PATCH v5 00/43] arm64: Support for Arm CCA in KVM
Posted by Steven Price 1 year, 4 months ago
This series adds support for running protected VMs using KVM under the
Arm Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA).

The related guest support was posted[1] earlier. As with the guest this
series moves to the "v1.0-rel0" version of the specification[2].

Almost all changes since v4[3] are either due to rebasing or minor
changes to improve the code following review comments. There are two bug
fixes:

 * Setting the GPRS on entry after an exit where the host is allowed to
   change registers is now done in kvm_rec_enter(). This fixes a bug
   where register updates done by user space were being ignored.

 * Drop the PTE_SHARED bit for unprotected page table entries - this bit
   isn't controlled by the host and the RMM now enforces the bit is
   zero.

Major limitations:

 * Only supports 4k host PAGE_SIZE (if PAGE_SIZE != 4k then the realm
   extensions are disabled).

 * No support for huge pages when mapping the guest's pages. There is
   some 'dead' code left over from before guest_mem was supported. This
   is partly a current limitation of guest_memfd.

The ABI to the RMM (the RMI) is based on RMM v1.0-rel0 specification[2].

This series is based on v6.12-rc1. It is also available as a git
repository:

https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-cca cca-host/v5

Work in progress changes for kvmtool are available from the git
repository below:

On FVP, the v5+v7 kernel is unable to execute virt-manager:

Starting install...
Allocating 'test9.qcow2'                                    |    0 B  00:00 ...

2024-12-04T18:56:11.646520Z qemu-system-aarch64: -accel kvm: failed to initialize kvm: Invalid argument

Below is my virt-manager options:

Userland is Ubuntu 24.10, the VMM is Linaro's cca/2024-11-20:

https://git.codelinaro.org/linaro/dcap/qemu/-/tree/cca/2024-11-20?ref_type=heads

virt-install doesn't complain if I try to bring up a normal VM.

Thanks,

Can you check that the kernel has detected the RMM being available, you
should have a message like below when the host kernel is booting:

kvm [1]: RMI ABI version 1.0

My guess is that you've got mismatched versions of the RMM and TF-A. The
interface between those two components isn't stable and there were
breaking changes fairly recently. And obviously if the RMM hasn't
initialised successfully then confidential VMs won't be available.

I don't think this is the latest QEMU tree, Jean-Philippe posted an
update last week:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20241125195626.856992-2-jean-philippe@linaro.org/

I'm not sure if there were any important updates there, but there are
detailed instructions that might help.

Steve

Indeed, QEMU branch 2024-11-20 has to be used with an older version of the
KVM patch and older RMM. For KVM v5+v7 you need the most recent QEMU
branch, confusingly called cca/v3 (because it's the third patch series).

Thanks,
Jean

I wasn’t applying with the updated Shrinkwrap’s overlay file when building TF-RMM.
With the correct VMM as you guys mentioned (cca/v3) I was able to start the installation via
the virt-install interacting with the Ubuntu 24.10’s monolitihc libvirtd.

Thanks,
Itaru.
