It does not depend on any lower-privileged operating system +for its core functionality. This increases its security and can support a much smaller +trusted computing base than a Type-2 hypervisor. + +Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at +https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor. + +Gunyah provides these following features. + +- Scheduling: + A scheduler for virtual CPUs (VCPUs) on physical CPUs and enables time-sharing + of the CPUs. +- Memory Management: + APIs handling memory, abstracted as objects, limiting direct use of physical + addresses. Memory ownership and usage tracking of all memory under its control. + Memory partitioning between VMs is a fundamental security feature. +- Interrupt Virtualization: + Uses CPU hardware interrupt virtualization capabilities. Interrupts are handled + in the hypervisor and routed to the assigned VM. +- Inter-VM Communication: + There are several different mechanisms provided for communicating between VMs. +- Virtual platform: + Architectural devices such as interrupt controllers and CPU timers are directly provided + by the hypervisor as well as core virtual platform devices and system APIs such as ARM PSCI. +- Device Virtualization: + Para-virtualization of devices is supported using inter-VM communication. + +Architectures supported +======================= +AArch64 with a GIC + +Resources and Capabilities +========================== + +Some services or resources provided by the Gunyah hypervisor are described by capability IDs. +For instance, inter-VM communication is performed with doorbells and message queues. The specific +instance of a doorbell is described by a capability ID. These devices are described in Linux as a +struct gunyah_device. + +High level management of these resources is performed by the resource manager VM. RM informs a +guest VM about resources it can access through either the device tree or via guest-initiated RPC. + +Resource Manager +================ + +The resource manager (RM) is a privileged application VM supporting the Gunyah Hypervisor. +It provides policy enforcement aspects of the virtualization system. The resource manager can +be treated as an extension of the Hypervisor but is separated to its own partition to ensure +that the hypervisor layer itself remains small and secure and to maintain a separation of policy +and mechanism in the platform. On arm64, RM runs at NS-EL1 similar to other virtual machines. + +Communication with the resource manager from each guest VM happens with message-queue.rst.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Message Queues +============== +Message queue is a simple low-capacity IPC channel between two VMs. It is +intended for sending small control and configuration messages. Each message +queue object is unidirectional, so a full-duplex IPC channel requires a pair of +objects. + +Messages can be up to 240 bytes in length. Longer messages require a further +protocol on top of the message queue messages themselves. For instance, communication +with the resource manager adds a header field for sending longer messages via multiple +message fragments. + +The diagram below shows how message queue works. A typical configuration involves +2 message queues. Message queue 1 allows VM_A to send messages to VM_B. Message +queue 2 allows VM_B to send messages to VM_A. + +1. VM_A sends a message of up to 240 bytes in length. It raises a hypercall + with the message to inform the hypervisor to add the message to + message queue 1's queue. +2. Gunyah raises the corresponding interrupt for VM_B when any of these happens: + a. gh_msgq_send has PUSH flag. Queue is immediately flushed. This is the typical case. + b. Explicility with gh_msgq_push command from VM_A. + c. Message queue has reached a threshold depth. +3.
