KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host
migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is
destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's
memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest
memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier.
Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option
as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the
source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not.
Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would
require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are
the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================= +QTEE (Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment) +============================================= + +The QTEE driver handles communication with Qualcomm TEE [1]. + +The lowest level of communication with QTEE builds on the ARM SMC Calling +Convention (SMCCC) [2], which is the foundation for QTEE's Secure Channel +Manager (SCM) [3] used internally by the driver. + +In a QTEE-based system, services are represented as objects with a series of +operations that can be called to produce results, including other objects. + +When an object is hosted within QTEE, executing its operations is referred +to as "direct invocation". QTEE can also invoke objects hosted in the non-secure +world using a method known as "callback request". + +The SCM provides two functions to support direct invocation and callback requests: + +- QCOM_SCM_SMCINVOKE_INVOKE: Used for direct invocation. It can return either + a result or initiate a callback request. +- QCOM_SCM_SMCINVOKE_CB_RSP: Used to submit a response to a callback request + triggered by a previous direct invocation. + +The QTEE Transport Message [4] is stacked on top of the SCM driver functions. + +A message consists of two buffers shared with QTEE: inbound and outbound +buffers. The inbound buffer is used for direct invocation, and the outbound +buffer is used to make callback requests.
