Merge branch kvm-arm64/smccc-filtering into kvmarm-master/next
* kvm-arm64/smccc-filtering:
: .
: SMCCC call filtering and forwarding to userspace, courtesy of
: Oliver Upton. From the cover letter:
:
: "The Arm SMCCC is rather prescriptive in regards to the allocation of
: SMCCC function ID ranges. Many of the hypercall ranges have an
: associated specification from Arm (FF-A, PSCI, SDEI, etc.) with some
: room for vendor-specific implementations.
:
: The ever-expanding SMCCC surface leaves a lot of work within KVM for
: providing new features. Furthermore, KVM implements its own
: vendor-specific ABI, with little room for other implementations (like
: Hyper-V, for example). Rather than cramming it all into the kernel we
: should provide a way for userspace to handle hypercalls."
