History
Daniel Verkamp 40920e7278 hypervisor: pass IoOperation data as slices 
Previously, the Vcpu handle_io() and handle_mmio() functions used an
IoOperation containing a fixed-length data array to represent a write
and returning a fixed-length data array to represent a read, along with
a separate size field to indicate how much of the fixed-length array
should be read/written.

This change uses Rust slices to represent the I/O data instead:
- Write contains a &[u8] of data to be written.
- Read contains a &mut [u8] to be filled with the read data.

The new IoOperation matches the Bus read()/write() APIs more closely,
and avoids the need for hypervisors and callers to convert between
fixed-size arrays and slices.

The Bus::read() function now always initializes the data slice before
(potentially) calling a device's read() function. This ensures
consistent results even if a device does not always fill out every data
byte (for example, the default BusDevice read() handler that is a no-op)
or if no device is found. This replaces the previous zeroing that would
happen when initializing the read data array to return from handle_fn.
Without this, the data slice may have had stale data from the previous
MMIO/IO exit, depending on the hypervisor implementation.

No functional change intended.

Hypervisor Support

Multiple hypervisor backends are supported. See Advanced Usage for overriding the default backend.

Hypervisors added to crosvm must meet the following requirements:

  • Hypervisor code must be buildable in crosvm upstream.
    • Within reason, crosvm maintainers will ensure the hypervisor's code continues to build.
  • Hypervisors are not required to be tested upstream.
    • We can't require testing upstream because some hypervisors require specialized hardware.
    • When not tested upstream, the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to test it downstream. If a change to crosvm breaks something downstream, then the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to supply the fix and can't expect a revert of the culprit change to be accepted upstream.

KVM

  • Platforms: Linux
  • Tested upstream: yes

KVM is crosvm's preferred hypervisor for Linux.
