v8 cover virt: vmgenid: add devicetree bindings support

Changes v7->v8:
- Remove Kconfig depends statement entirely, instead of ACPI||OF.
- Check platform_get_irq() return value against < 0 rather than !0.

This is a cleanup of Sudan's OF vmgenid patches, simplified a bit, but still with the same intent and mostly unchanged. I'll take this via my random tree, but Krzysztof, I would appreciate having your ack/review on it.

Sudan - if I've mangled something here, please let me know. I verified this still works with ACPI in QEMU, but I don't know about your private firecracker OF branch, so please pipe up if something is amiss. It's basically the same thing, though, so I suspect it'll be fine.

Thanks,
Jason

PATCH v8 2/3 dt-bindings: rng: Add vmgenid support

In reply to Jason A. Donenfeld

From: Sudan Landge <[email protected]>

Virtual Machine Generation ID driver was introduced in commit af6b54e2b5ba ("virt: vmgenid: notify RNG of VM fork and supply generation ID"), as an ACPI only device.

VMGenID specification http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260709
defines a mechanism for the BIOS/hypervisors to communicate to the virtual machine that it is executed with a different configuration (e.g. snapshot execution or creation from a template). The guest operating system can use the notification for various purposes such as re-initializing its random number generator etc.

As per the specs, hypervisor should provide a globally unique identified, or GUID via ACPI.

This patch tries to mimic the mechanism to provide the same functionality which is for a hypervisor/BIOS to notify the virtual machine when it is executed with a different configuration.

As part of this support the devicetree bindings requires the hypervisors or BIOS to provide a memory address which holds the GUID and an IRQ which is used to notify when there is a change in the GUID. The memory exposed in the DT should follow the rules defined in the vmgenid spec mentioned above.

Reason for this change: Chosing ACPI or devicetree is an intrinsic part of an hypervisor design. Without going into details of why a hypervisor would chose DT over ACPI, we would like to highlight that the hypervisors that have chose devicetree and now want to make use of the vmgenid functionality cannot do so today because vmgenid is an ACPI only device. This forces these hypervisors to change their design which could have undesirable impacts on their use-cases, test-scenarios etc.

The point of vmgenid is to provide a mechanism to discover a GUID when the execution state of a virtual machine changes and the simplest way to do it is pass a memory location and an interrupt via devicetree. It would complicate things unnecessarily if instead of using devicetree, we try to implement a new protocol or modify other protocols to somehow provide the same functionility.

We believe that adding a devicetree binding for vmgenid is a simpler, better alternative to provide the same functionality and will allow such hypervisors as mentioned above to continue using devicetree.

More references to the vmgenid specs are found below.

PATCH v8 3/3 virt: vmgenid: add support for devicetree bindings

In reply to Jason A. Donenfeld

From: Sudan Landge <[email protected]>

Extend the vmgenid platform driver to support devicetree bindings. With this support, hypervisors can send vmgenid notifications to the virtual machine without the need to enable ACPI. The bindings are located at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rng/microsoft,vmgenid.yaml

Since this is no longer ACPI-dependent, remove the dependency from Kconfig and protect the ACPI code with a single ifdef.

[Jason: - Small style cleanups and refactoring.
- Re-work ACPI conditionalization. ]

Hi Jason,

I also verified that this still works with ACPI on Firecracker. I also verified that the OF part of the patch works with this:
https://github.com/sudanl0/firecracker/commit/f382e09a9b1e4453d2b231232d89bcb85296ac87
patch on top of Firecracker.

Thanks for testing this. No word from the other folks who were looking at this patchset before, so I'll move ahead and apply this to random.git and send it up for 6.10.
