Zach Reizner 30055ecabd kvm-sys: add arm bindings
Depending on which linux kernel headers are used, different outputs for
bindgen are given. In particular, some structs in x86's kvm.h are not in
arm's kvm.h and the other way around. This presented as compile time
failures when compiling the ioctl number functions which take these
struct types as parameters.

This change solves this my lumping ioctls into an x86 module, arm
module, and common module. Additionally, bindgen is run with the x86
kvm.h and the arm kvm.h header and only the appropriate one is included
at build time.

This change also fixes a few ioctls with the incorrect direction label.

Chrome OS KVM

This component, known as crosvm, runs untrusted operating systems along with virtualized devices. No actual hardware is emulated. This only runs VMs through the Linux's KVM interface. What makes crosvm unique is a focus on safety within the programming language and a sandbox around the virtual devices to protect the kernel from attack in case of an exploit in the devices.

Overview

The crosvm source code is organized into crates, each with their own unit tests. These crates are:

  • kvm-sys low-level (mostly) auto-generated structures and constants for using KVM
  • kvm unsafe, low-level wrapper code for using kvm-sys
  • crosvm the top-level binary front-end for using crosvm

Usage

Currently there is no front-end, so the best you can do is run cargo test in each crate.
