4KVM/arm64-specific hypercalls exposed to guests
5===============================================

7This file documents the KVM/arm64-specific hypercalls which may be
8exposed by KVM/arm64 to guest operating systems. These hypercalls are
9issued using the HVC instruction according to version 1.1 of the Arm SMC
10Calling Convention (DEN0028/C):
11
12https://developer.arm.com/docs/den0028/c
13
14All KVM/arm64-specific hypercalls are allocated within the "Vendor
15Specific Hypervisor Service Call" range with a UID of
16``28b46fb6-2ec5-11e9-a9ca-4b564d003a74``. This UID should be queried by the
17guest using the standard "Call UID" function for the service range in
18order to determine that the KVM/arm64-specific hypercalls are available.
