[PATCH v14 4/5] KVM: arm64: Set PSTATE.EXLOCK when entering an exception
Posted by Mark Brown 1 month, 3 weeks ago
As per DDI 0487 RWTXBY we need to manage PSTATE.EXLOCK when entering an
exception, when the exception is entered from a lower EL the bit is cleared
while if entering from the same EL it is set to GCSCR_ELx.EXLOCKEN.
Implement this behaviour in enter_exception64().

No, please. This only works by luck when a guest has AArch32 EL0, and
creates more havoc on a NV guest. In general, this PSR_EL_MASK creates
more problem than anything else, and doesn't fit the rest of the code.

So this needs to:
- explicitly only apply to exceptions from AArch64
- handle exception from EL2, since this helper already deals with that

The latter point of course means introducing GCSCR_EL2 (and everything
that depends on it, such as the trap handling).

You say luck, I say careful architecture definition but sure.

For clarity, which trap handling specifically?

I wasn't talking about the architecture, but sure.

All the traps described in the GCSCR_EL2 documentation -- I see two
control bits described in K.a, all of which needs to be propagated and
their effects handled. Similarly, GCSPR_EL2 needs to be defined.
