[PATCH v10 1/8] x86/vmware: Introduce VMware hypercall API

Thu May 23 19:14:39 UTC 2024


Introduce vmware_hypercall family of functions. It is a common
implementation to be used by the VMware guest code and virtual
device drivers in architecture independent manner.

The API consists of vmware_hypercallX and vmware_hypercall_hb_{out,in}
set of functions by analogy with KVM hypercall API. Architecture
specific implementation is hidden inside.

It will simplify future enhancements in VMware hypercalls such
as SEV-ES and TDX related changes without needs to modify a
caller in device drivers code.

Current implementation extends an idea from commit bac7b4e84323
("x86/vmware: Update platform detection code for VMCALL/VMMCALL
hypercalls") to have a slow, but safe path in VMWARE_HYPERCALL
earlier during the boot when alternatives are not yet applied.
The code inherits VMWARE_CMD logic from the commit mentioned above.

Move common macros from vmware.c to vmware.h.

Make vmware_hypercall_mode a global variable.

+ * VMware hypercall ABI.
+ *
+ * - Low bandwidth (LB) hypercalls (I/O port based, vmcall and vmmcall)
+ * have up to 6 input and 6 output arguments passed and returned using
+ * registers: %eax (arg0), %ebx (arg1), %ecx (arg2), %edx (arg3),
+ * %esi (arg4), %edi (arg5).
+ * The following input arguments must be initialized by the caller:
+ * arg0 - VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_MAGIC
+ * arg2 - Hypercall command
+ * arg3 bits [15:0] - Port number, LB and direction flags
+ *
+ * - High bandwidth (HB) hypercalls are I/O port based only. They have
+ * up to 7 input and 7 output arguments passed and returned using
+ * registers: %eax (arg0), %ebx (arg1), %ecx (arg2), %edx (arg3),
+ * %esi (arg4), %edi (arg5), %ebp (arg6).
+ * The following input arguments must be initialized by the caller:
+ * arg0 - VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_MAGIC
+ * arg1 - Hypercall command
+ * arg3 bits [15:0] - Port number, HB and direction flags
+ *
+ * For compatibility purposes, x86_64 systems use only lower 32 bits
+ * for input and output arguments.
+ *
+ * The hypercall definitions differ in the low word of the %edx (arg3)
+ * in the following way: the old I/O port based interface uses the port
+ * number to distinguish between high- and low bandwidth versions, and
+ * uses IN/OUT instructions to define transfer direction.
  *
  * The new vmcall interface instead uses a set of flags to select
  * bandwidth mode and transfer direction. The flags should be loaded
- * into %dx by any user and are automatically replaced by the port
- * number if the VMWARE_HYPERVISOR_PORT method is used.
- *
- * In short, new driver code should strictly use the new definition of
- * %dx content.
+ * into arg3 by any user and are automatically replaced by the port
