Nitpick: we tend to use DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(), it pairs with
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE().

Makes sense.

Are these always fatal? BUG_ON() is frowned upon in general. The
alternative would be returning an error code from the function and maybe
printing a warning here (it seems that some people don't like WARN_ON
either but it's better than BUG_ON; could use a pr_err() instead). Also
if something's wrong with the RSI interface to mess up the return
values, it will be hard to debug just from those BUG_ON().

If there's no chance of continuing beyond the point, add a comment on
why we have a BUG_ON().

I think you're right, these shouldn't be (immediately) fatal - if this
is a change happening at runtime it might be possible to handle it.
However, at boot time it makes no sense to try to continue (which is
what I was originally looking at when this was written) as the
environment isn't what the guest is expecting, and continuing will
either lead to a later crash, attestation failure, or potential exploit
if the guest can be somehow be tricked to use the shared mapping rather
than the protected one.

I'll update the set_memory_range...() functions to return an error code
and push the boot BUG_ON up the chain (with a comment). But this is
still in the "should never happen" situation so I'll leave a WARN_ON here.

Does this need to be made available to loadable modules?

It's used by drivers/virt/coco/arm-cca-guest/arm-cca-guest.c (through
is_realm_world()) which can be built as a module - see patch 14.

I wonder whether rsi_get_version() is the right name (I know it was
introduced in the previous patch but the usage is here, hence my
comment). From the RMM spec, this looks more like an
rsi_request_version() to me.

TBH, the RMM spec around versioning doesn't fully make sense to me ;). I
assume people working on it had some good reasons around the lower
revision reporting in case of an error.

There's been a fair bit of discussion around versioning. Currently the
RMM implementation is very much a "get version" function. The issue was
what happens if in the future there is an incompatible RMM spec (i.e.
v2.0). The intention is that old OSes will provide the older version
number and give the RMM the opportunity to 'emulate' it. Equally where
the OS supports multiple versions then there's a need to negotiate a
commonly accepted version.

In terms of naming - mostly I've tried to just follow the spec, but the
naming in the spec isn't great. Calling the function rsi_version() would
be confusing so a verb is needed, but I'm not hung up on the verb. I'll
change it to rsi_request_version().

+		       RSI_ABI_VERSION_GET_MINOR(ver));
+		return false;
+	}

The above check matches what the spec says but wouldn't it be clearer to
just check for ret == RSI_SUCCESS? It saves one having to read the spec
to figure out what lower revision actually means in the spec (not the
actual lowest supported but the highest while still lower than the
requested one _or_ equal to the higher revision if the lower is higher
than the requested one - if any of this makes sense to people ;), I'm
sure I missed some other combinations).

Indeed - I got similar feedback on the RMI side. The spec evolved and I
forgot to update it. It should be sufficient (for now) to just look for
RSI_SUCCESS. Only when we start supporting multiple versions (on the
Linux side) do we need to look at the returned version numbers.

+void arm64_setup_memory(void)

I would give this function a better name, something to resemble the RSI
setup. Similarly for others like set_memory_range_protected/shared().
Some of the functions have 'rsi' in the name like arm64_rsi_init() but
others don't and at a first look they'd seem like some generic memory
setup on arm64, not RSI-specific.

Ack.

We have an accessor for rsi_present - is_realm_world(). Why not use
that?

Will change.

Does it need to be this early? It's fine for now but I wonder whether we
may have some early parameter at some point that could influence what we
do in the arm64_rsi_init(). I'd move it after or maybe even as part of
the arm64_setup_memory(), though I haven't read the following patches if
they update this function.

As Suzuki said - it's needed for "earlycon" to work - I'll put a comment
in explaining.

This feels like a random placement. This function is about memblock
initialisation. You might as well put it in paging_init(), it could make
more sense there. But I'd rather keep it in setup_arch() immediately
after arm64_memblock_init().

Will move.

Steve
